    Abstract The CXCR4/CXCL12 pathway has recently been reported to be involved in stimulating the metastasis of many different neoplasms, in which CXCR4 activates various phenomena such as chemotaxis, invasion, angiogenesis and proliferation. The purpose of this study was to analyze a possible association between the expression of chemokine receptors CXCR4, CCR6 and CCR7 with the clinicopathological features of cutaneous malignant melanoma, and to assess the usefulness of these chemokine receptors for diagnosis and prognosis. In our study, a percentage of immunoexpression of both CXCR4 and its ligands CXCL12 was associated with high clinical risk. In contrast, the patients with a low immunoexpression of CXCR4 and CXCL12 had low clinical risk. CCR6 and CCR7 immunoexpressions were also correlated with some clinical parameters, but seemed no more useful than CXCR4. These data suggest that the assessment of CXCR4 immunoexpression is a novel tool for predicting tumor aggressiveness in malignant melanomas, and in particular, a high immunoexpression percentage of CXCR4 and CXCL12 might be a sign of a poor prognosis.

    Abstract Functional chemokine receptors are expressed in many malignant tumors. These receptors promote tumor growth and metastasis in response to endogenous chemokines. We analyzed the expression of CXCR4, CCR6 and CCR7 in fibrohistiocytic tumors, including dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance (DFSP), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), dermatofibroma (DF) using immunohistochemistry. We also investigated the relationship between CXCR4 and CD34, the latter of which is an immunohistochemical marker for DFSP. We observed a higher expression of CXCR4 in DFSP and MFH as compared with DF. Interestingly, a significantly higher expression of CXCR4 was detected in relapsed DFSP than in non-relapsed DFSP, but no significant differences were detected between non-relapsed DFSP and DFSP with CD34 immunostaining. Moreover, MFH had strong immunoreactivity for CXCR4, CCR6 and CCR7. These findings suggest that the assessment of CXCR4 immunoreactivity in fibrohistiocytic tumors is a useful tool for predicting tumor aggressiveness.

    Abstract Skin ulcers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are non-healing or intractable, because various factors or complications, including vasculitis and immunosuppressants, impair wound healing. In the present study, we applied cultured dermal substitutes (CDSs) to 3 cases of SLE skin ulcers because various systemic or topical therapies were ineffective. CDSs are prepared by culturing human fibroblasts on two-layered spongy matrices of hyaluronic acid and atelo-collagen, and they effectively promote the healing of severe skin defects. After using CDSs in the 3 cases, healthy granulation tissues formed within 6 weeks, and skin grafts were successfully performed. These results indicate that allogeneic CDSs provide new therapeutic alternatives as topical therapies for intractable skin ulcers in SLE.

    Abstract Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an idiopathic, inflammatory, ulcerative disease of undetermined cause. Both topical and systemic treatments of corticosteroids and cyclosporine are commonly used for the ulcers of PG, but these ulcers are often intractable despite treatment. We employed allogeneic cultured dermal substitutes (CDS) in a patient with intractable ulcers due to PG. The CDS was prepared by cultured human fibroblasts on two-layered sponges of extracellular matrix such as hyaluronic acid and atelo-collagen. In the present case, re-epithelization and healthy granulation were induced by the CDS without increasing the dosage of systemic prednisolone. Then the subsequent autologous skin graft was successfully performed. This indicates that CDS is one of the useful tools for the treatment of intractable ulcers in patients with PG.
