Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) corresponds to a series of conditions characterized by extreme fragility of the skin and/or mucous membranes. Of the four main types of EB, junctional EB (JEB) is the most associated with alterations in the teeth. The purposes of this study were to determine the clinical, histopathological, and ultrastructural characteristics of teeth with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in a patient with JEB, and compare them with control teeth, and correlate the findings with the mutations present in the patient.Case Report: The study was conducted on a 10-year-old patient with JEB carrier of two recessive mutations in the LAMB3 gene and absence of the laminin-332 protein (LM-332), determined by immunofluorescence on a skin biopsy. The patient presents hypoplastic AI with very thin and yellow-brown colored enamel. Extraction of two permanent molars was performed due to pain and soft tissue covering the crown, resembling pulp polyp or hyperplastic gingiva. Light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed very thin enamel varying from complete absence to 60 μm, absence of normal prismatic structure, and presence of a cross-banding with a laminated appearance. The histopathological study revealed granulation tissue causing external crown resorption.Conclusion: Although coronary resorption has been reported in patients with syndromic and non-syndromic AI, this is the first clinicopathological report of coronary resorption in partially erupted teeth in patients with JEB with mutations in the LAMB3 gene and hypoplastic AI. In patients with this condition, the presence of partially erupted teeth with soft tissue covering part of the crown, without a periodontal pocket, and with a radiographic image of partial coronal radiolucency should lead to suspicion of external coronary resorption.

AbstractImpaired wound healing complicates a wide range of diseases and represents a major cost to healthcare systems. Here we describe the use of discarded wound dressings as a novel, cost effective, accessible, and non-invasive method of isolating viable human cells present at the site of skin wounds. By analyzing 133 discarded wound dressings from 51 patients with the inherited skin-blistering disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB), we show that large numbers of cells, often in excess of 100 million per day, continually infiltrate wound dressings. We show, that the method is able to differentiate chronic from acute wounds, identifying significant increases in granulocytes in chronic wounds, and we show that patients with the junctional form of EB have significantly more cells infiltrating their wounds compared with patients with recessive dystrophic EB. Finally, we identify subsets of granulocytes and T lymphocytes present in all wounds paving the way for single cell profiling of innate and adaptive immune cells with relevance to wound pathologies. In summary, our study delineates findings in EB that have potential relevance for all chronic wounds, and presents a method of cellular isolation that has wide reaching clinical application.

Abstract Background Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is a rare inherited skin disease caused by variants in the COL7A1 gene, coding for type VII collagen (C7), an important component of anchoring fibrils in the basement membrane of the epidermis. RDEB patients suffer from skin fragility starting with blister formation and evolving into chronic wounds, inflammation and skin fibrosis, with a high risk of developing aggressive skin carcinomas. Restricted therapeutic options are limited by the lack of in vitro models of defective wound healing in RDEB patients. Results In order to explore a more efficient, non-invasive in vitro model for RDEB studies, we obtained patient fibroblasts derived from discarded dressings) and examined their phenotypic features compared with fibroblasts derived from non-injured skin of RDEB and healthy-donor skin biopsies. Our results demonstrate that fibroblasts derived from RDEB chronic wounds (RDEB-CW) displayed characteristics of senescent cells, increased myofibroblast differentiation, and augmented levels of TGF-β1 signaling components compared to fibroblasts derived from RDEB acute wounds and unaffected RDEB skin as well as skin from healthy-donors. Furthermore, RDEB-CW fibroblasts exhibited an increased pattern of inflammatory cytokine secretion (IL-1β and IL-6) when compared with RDEB and control fibroblasts. Interestingly, these aberrant patterns were found specifically in RDEB-CW fibroblasts independent of the culturing method, since fibroblasts obtained from dressing of acute wounds displayed a phenotype more similar to fibroblasts obtained from RDEB normal skin biopsies. Conclusions Our results show that in vitro cultured RDEB-CW fibroblasts maintain distinctive cellular and molecular characteristics resembling the inflammatory and fibrotic microenvironment observed in RDEB patients’ chronic wounds. This work describes a novel, non-invasive and painless strategy to obtain human fibroblasts chronically subjected to an inflammatory and fibrotic environment, supporting their use as an accessible model for in vitro studies of RDEB wound healing pathogenesis. As such, this approach is well suited to testing new therapeutic strategies under controlled laboratory conditions.
