Host immune responses in ex vivo approaches to cutaneous gene therapy targeted to keratinocytes.

abstract：:Irradiation of human keratinocytes with UVB (280-320 nm) in vitro and in vivo activates the metabolism of 7-dehydrocholesterol to hormonally active calcitriol. The production of calcitriol in the skin strongly depends on the photosynthesis of vitamin D(3) which is biologically inactive in the first instance. Vitamin D...

abstract：:Somatostatin (SST) is a regulatory peptide hormone that acts through five different G protein-coupled receptors (SSTR1-5). Whereas expression of all five SSTR subtypes in epidermis has been shown, the biological relevance of the SST/SSTR system in the skin is completely unknown. We show here that SST is expressed in h...
