Research

Skin, the largest organ in the body, protects us from the external arid, toxic environment through establishment of the epidermal permeability barrier (EPB). The degree of redundancy and complexity to establish the EPB is remarkable, and lot remains to be learned regarding the involved molecular pathways and the underlying compensatory mechanism. To survive the transition from an aqueous in utero to an external environment, mice and humans must construct an epidermal permeability barrier in utero. Our group focused to study the role of transcriptional regulators like, Chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor (COUP-TF)–interacting protein2 (CTIP2/ Bcl11b), in epidermal homeostasis and barrier formation. Preliminary experiments of characterization of CTIP2 expression during mouse embryogenesis using CTIP2 specific antibody revealed high expression of CTIP2 in skin. Our central hypothesis is that CTIP2 in a cell autonomous manner mediate formation of EPB in the developing skin, and regulate expression of genes that are involved in barrier establishment. Successful completion of the project is expected to provide better understanding of the complex compensatory mechanism underlying EPB formation, and help develop novel strategies to treat patients with related disorders like AD and psoriasis

Research: 
<p>Skin, the largest organ in the body, protects us from the external arid, toxic environment through establishment of the epidermal permeability barrier (EPB). The degree of redundancy and complexity to establish the EPB is remarkable, and lot remains to be learned regarding the involved molecular pathways and the underlying compensatory mechanism. To survive the transition from an aqueous <em>in utero</em> to an external environment, mice and humans must construct an epidermal permeability barrier <em>in utero</em>. Our group focused to study the role of transcriptional regulators like, Chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor (COUP-TF)–interacting protein2 (CTIP2/ Bcl11b), in epidermal homeostasis and barrier formation. Preliminary experiments of characterization of CTIP2 expression during mouse embryogenesis using CTIP2 specific antibody revealed high expression of CTIP2 in skin. Our central hypothesis is that CTIP2 in a cell autonomous manner mediate formation of EPB in the developing skin, and regulate expression of genes that are involved in barrier establishment. Successful completion of the project is expected to provide better understanding of the complex compensatory mechanism underlying EPB formation, and help develop novel strategies to treat patients with related disorders like AD and psoriasis</p>
