From: Reconstructed Skin Models Revealed Unexpected Differences in Epidermal African and Caucasian Skin
The differential expression of African and Caucasian epidermal signature genes in keratinocytes of reconstructed skins. The relative quantification of mRNA was performed by RT-qPCR for lipid metabolism-related genes: SLC44A5, DHCR24, CERS3, EVOLV3, FAR2, ACER1, ABHD3 (a) and differentiation processes-related genes: POU2F3, BLMH, TGM3, SPINK6, KRT14, FLG and FLG2 (b). Mean are reported ± SE (n = 3 replicates per donor). Statistical significance, denoted with * (P < 0.05), between African and Caucasian RS groups (n = 4 donors per skin type) are determined using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test.
