May 1999 in “Molecular Cell” The study explored the effects of activating the protooncogene c-Myc in the skin of transgenic mice, revealing that c-Myc activation led to rapid proliferation and disrupted differentiation of keratinocytes, resulting in conditions resembling precancerous lesions such as hyperplastic actinic keratosis. These changes were accompanied by angiogenesis and were reversible upon deactivation of c-Myc. Despite the potential for c-Myc to induce apoptosis, survival signals in the skin suppressed this effect, allowing for the development of benign, hyperproliferative lesions without progressing to malignancy. The study highlighted the role of c-Myc in skin homeostasis and its implications in skin carcinogenesis, suggesting that additional mutations would be necessary for malignant transformation.

January 2007 in “Annals of Medicine” Cutaneous gene therapy research, conducted over more than 20 years, explored both direct and indirect gene transfer methods using viral and nonviral vectors to treat inherited skin diseases and potentially systemic disorders. Despite reaching clinical phases, challenges such as gene expression loss and immune reactions persisted. The study highlighted the potential of epidermal and hair follicle stem cells in skin regeneration and gene therapy, with telomerase influencing hair growth and cell proliferation. Clinical trials, such as those for junctional epidermolysis bullosa, showed potential for long-term expression and phenotypic correction. The research also explored hair follicle gene therapy, noting that adenoviral-mediated expression of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) could enhance hair growth, suggesting potential benefits for alopecia treatment. The document concluded that advancements in vector development and gene expression control could make cutaneous gene therapy a viable option for various diseases.
