ASSESSMENT OF TRISTETRAPROLIN EXPRESSION IN LESIONAL SKIN OF PATIENTS WITH NON SEGMENTAL VITILIGO
August 6, 2023 updated by: marwa khaled mahmoud, Sohag University
Vitiligo is characterized by the selective loss of melanocytes, which in turn leads to totally amelanotic, non-scaly, chalky-white macule with distinct margins Vitiligo is the most common depigmenting skin disorder, with an estimated prevalence of 0.5-2% of the population in both adults and children worldwide Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), a pro-inflammatory cytokine is necessary for Th1 mediated response and immune homeostasis and the up-regulation of TNF-α can result in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases .
previous studies revealed a rise in transcript and protein levels of TNF-α in vitiligo patients The prime location of melanocytes, keratinocytes and fibroblasts is the epidermal microenvironment and these cells are capable of TNF-α expression and secretion TNF-α acts as an autocrine as well as a paracrine manner to suppress the melanocyte growth and proliferation ( Tristetraprolin (TTP) zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is Ribonucleic acid (RNA) binding protein that preferentially binds to Adenylate-uridylate-rich (AU-rich) regions in the 3' untranslated regions (3'UTR) of target genes .
Additionally, Tristetraprolin functions by destabilizing mRNAs encoding for oncogenes, cytokines (as TNFα), and chemokines involved in the inflammatory processes, by favoring their degradation and/or preventing their efficient translation The expression of proinflammatory mediator genes is tightly controlled by post-transcriptional regulation, which is mediated by a set of immune-related RNA binding proteins, such as tristetraprolin, Roquin, and Regnase

Tristetraprolin (TTP) zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is Ribonucleic acid (RNA) binding protein that preferentially binds to Adenylate-uridylate-rich (AU-rich) regions in the 3' untranslated regions (3'UTR) of target genes (Brooks et al., 2013).
Additionally, Tristetraprolin functions by destabilizing mRNAs encoding for oncogenes, cytokines (as TNFα), and chemokines involved in the inflammatory processes, by favoring their degradation and/or preventing their efficient translation
