Final Report Abstract
Collectively we were able to demonstrate that: • Sykb is one of the major hub-genes expressed in the skin of mice with experimental EBA; • pharmacological SYK blockade dose-dependently and almost completely impairs induction of experimental EBA in mice induced by transfer of anti-COL7 IgG; • induction of anti-COL7 IgG-induced EBA requires SYK expression on cells of the myeloid, but not lymphoid linage; • SYK inhibition ablates signaling events downstream of SYK in immune complexactivated neutrophils; • Plaur and Fpr1 are involved in the SYK signaling pathway; • SYK is differentially expressed in skin with pemphigoid disease (BP and EBA) when compared to healthy control skin.
