Androgenetic Alopecia

One 1 mm punch biopsy will be taken from the patients from balding scalp. Another 1 mm punch biopsy will be taken from an area of occipital non-balding scalp of the same individual. Local anesthesia will be injected around the biopsy site beforehand.

Assessment of the Role of the JAK-STAT Pathway in the Pathogenesis of Male Androgenetic Alopecia

STAT3 levels in androgen-dependant areas compared to non-involved areas from occipital scalp(in an attempt to assess the possible role of the JAK-STAT pathway in androgenetic alopecia).

Lecturer of Dermatology

Clinical evaluation including full history taking and dermatological examination will be done for all patients. Assessment of disease severity will be performed using Global acne severity grading for acne vulgaris Skin biopsies will be taken from lesional and non-lesional skin .immunohistochemical staining using specific antibodies for detection of expression of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3.

Clinical evaluation including full history taking and dermatological examination will be done . Assessment of disease severity will be performed using VASI score Skin biopsies will be taken from lesional and non-lesional skin .immunohistochemical staining using specific antibodies for detection of expression of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3..

Skin biopsies will be taken from skin of controls.
. Five micron thick sections will be cut from paraffin blocks for immunohistochemical staining using specific antibodies for detection of expression of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3.

Vitiligo and Acne Vulgaris

Clinical evaluation including full history taking and dermatological examination will be done for all patients. Assessment of disease severity will be performed using VASI score for vitiligo and Global acne severity grading for acne vulgaris Skin biopsies will be taken from lesional and non-lesional skin of patients as well as controls. immunohistochemical staining using specific antibodies for detection of expression of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3.
Additionally, biopsies will be preserved in RNA later solution at -20°C. RNA isolation and real-time qPCR analysis will be performed for measurement of cutaneous JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 gene expression.

Cutaneous JAK Expression in Vitiligo and Acne Vulgaris.

Skin biopsies will be taken from lesional and non-lesional skin of patients as well as from healthy volunteers as controls.
All biopsies will be derived from untreated skin lesions for a minimum of 15 days before the biopsy The biopsies will be fixed and paraffin embedded. Five micron thick sections will be cut from paraffin blocks for immunohistochemical staining using specific antibodies for detection of expression of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3.
Additionally, biopsies will be preserved in RNA later solution at -20°C. RNA isolation and real-time qPCR analysis will be performed for measurement of cutaneous JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 gene expression.
