Abstract

To be able to develop effective therapeutics for epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), it is necessary to elucidate the molecular pathomechanisms that give rise to the disease's characteristic severe skin-blistering phenotype. Starting with a whole-transcriptome microarray analysis of an EBS Dowling-Meara model cell line (KEB7), we identified 207 genes showing differential expression relative to control keratinocytes. A complementary qRT-PCR study of 156 candidates confirmed 76.58 % of the selected genes to be significantly up-regulated or down-regulated (p-value <0.05) within biological replicates. Our hit list contains previously identified genes involved in epithelial cell proliferation, cell-substrate adhesion, and responses to diverse biological stimuli. In addition, we identified novel candidate genes and potential affected pathways not previously considered as relevant to EBS pathology. Our results broaden our understanding of the molecular processes dysregulated in EBS.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 December 2015.
All research outputs
#15,351,847
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#2,315
of 4,265 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#228,893
of 390,233 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#78
of 148 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,265 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 390,233 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 148 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
