Current transcriptome and proteome studies have identified differentially regulated genes and proteins in hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa (HS), both in entire involved skin and in involved skin apocrine glands.In this report, we provide addnl. information obtained by further anal. of our data using mol. drug information available through chemogenomic studies.Raw microarray profiles from our own previous studies downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE137141) and (GSE144801) were used in this study.The data for anal. originated from whole lesional skin (LS) and nonlesional skin (NLS) of 28 European patients [20 female, eight male; aged 35.0 (10.2) years] with active HS Hurley stage II-III and healthy skin (CS) of 12 matched controls [aged 37.1 (13.2) years].The comparison of LS vs. NLS revealed several new drug target genes, namely ABAT, ADH1C, ADIRF, ADRA1A, ANDR, CFD, CHRM1, CLEC3B, CP3A4, DACB, DRD1, DRD5, GABBR1, GBP6, GBRA6, GBRR1, GCR, GPD1, GRIA1, GRM4, HRH1, IF4H, KRT6B, LPA, MCR, MRCA, MRCB, OPRD, OPRM, PA24A, PBPC, PLAT, PLG, PRKAB1, PTGS1, PTGS2, RPL38, SLC6A4, TA2R, TBXA2R, THAS, TLR2 and UTS2, in addition to the ones detected as HS biomarkers in our previous study, namely DEFB4A/ DEFB4B, GJB2, KRT6A, KRT16, MMP1, MMP9, PI3, S100A7A, S100A8, S100A9, S100A12, SERPINB3, SERPINB4 and SPRR3.Therefore, repurposing drugs may become future targets of investigator-initiated studies supported from peer-reviewed public funding sources.
