Outline of Final Research Achievements |
On end-stage renal failure, skin complications (hyperpigmentation, dryness, itching) are an important condition affecting the patient's QoL. These skin pigmentation improves after living donor renal transplantation. Thus, a causative agent other than melanin, a common pigmentation agent, is assumed, however there is no report which identified. In this study, we aimed for comprehensive identification by proteome analysis. One month after surgery, skin brightness was improved on the face, upper arms, and lower legs compared to the preoperative level. A non-significant improvement was also observed in the abdomen. Proteome analysis showed that the expression of keratin family members such as type I, type II, Elongin-B, AMBP, and PEBP-4 decreased after kidney transplantation, while FAM98C expression increased.
