Keratinocytes undergo maturation during their transit through the viable layers of skin, and then abruptly transform into flattened, anuclear corneocytes that constitute the cellular component of the skin barrier, the stratum corneum (SC). The SC is generally considered to be homogeneous in its structure and barrier properties, and is often shown schematically as a featureless brick wall, the “bricks” being the corneocytes, the “mortar” being intercellular lipid. Previously we showed the outer SC was not homogeneous in its composition, but contained steep gradients of the physiological inorganic elements Na, K and Cl, likely originating from sweat salts. Here we show the innermost corneocytes in human skin are also heterogeneous in composition, undergoing systematic changes in intracellular element concentration during transit into the interior of the SC.Human skin biopsies were taken from the lower leg of individuals with both “good” and “dry” skin and plunge-frozen in a stirred, cooled isopentane/propane mixture.

AimsHere we explore the presence of mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) exon 2 and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter hotspot mutations in complex fibroadenomas (CFAs) of the breast.MethodsThe stromal components from 18 CFAs were subjected to Sanger sequencing of MED12 exon 2 and the TERT promoter hotspot loci. The epithelial and stromal components of two MED12 mutated CFAs were subjected to laser capture microdissection, and Sanger sequencing of MED12 exon 2, TERT promoter and PIK3CA exons 9 and 20, separately.ResultsMED12 exon 2 mutations were identified in the stroma of 17% of CFAs. The analyses of epithelial and stromal components, microdissected separately, revealed that MED12 mutations were restricted to the stroma. No TERT promoter or PIK3CA mutations in exons 9 and 20 were detected in analysed CFAs.ConclusionsLike conventional fibroadenomas, MED12 exon 2 mutations appear to be restricted to the stromal component of CFAs, supporting the notion that CFAs are stromal neoplasms.
