Regulatory relationships of VTLG

  • Based on our results we hypothesize that the low incidence for actinic damage, basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma as documented in vitiligo could well reside in a protective function of up-regulated wild-type p53 [31].
  • Analysis by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and by western blotting for ET-1 and SCF unexpectedly demonstrated up-regulated expression of these cytokines in lesional vitiligo epidermis [32].
  • The average number of epidermal CD117 expressing cells followed the same pattern of decreased expression in hypopigmented mycosis fungoides as in vitiligo, whereas the levels in conventional mycosis fungoides were higher, and similar to that observed in normal skin [33].
  • The results indicate that the LYP missense R620W polymorphism may have an influence on the development of generalised vitiligo and provide further evidence for autoimmunity as an aetiological factor with respect to this disease [34].
  • It was found that epidermal homogenates from vitiligo patients expressed higher levels of COMT activity than homogenates from healthy controls [35].
