| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we established ABCA12-mutant mice harboring ABCA12 partial loss-of-function mutations, as model mice for congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. In the model mice, we evaluated the up-regulation effects on ABCA12 gene expression by various compounds, which were expected to have up-regulation effects on ABCA12 gene expression. As for the compounds which were proved to have up-regulation effects on ABCA12 gene expression, we further investigated treatment efficacy of the up-regulators of ABCA12 gene expression in the model mice, by monitoring ichthyosis phenotype recovery and restoration of skin barrier function.
In addition, we also established model mice carrying ABCA12 loss-of-function mutations as a model of harlequin ichthyosis. Using the model mice, we evaluated treatment efficacy of various read-through compounds to harlequin ichthyosis phenotypes by monitoring restoration of the stratum corneum barrier function and phenotype recovery.
