Expression of either collagen VII or the noncollagenous (NC1) fragment derived from it has been suggested to be indispensable for the development of squamous-cell carcinomas (SCCs) in patients affected by recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). This view is challenged here by the observation that SCCs do develop in RDEB patients lacking expression of collagen VII altogether. The aggressive behavior of RDEB-associated SCCs remains unexplained.
对于患有隐性营养不良性大疱性表皮松解症(RDEB)的患者,有人提出胶原蛋白VII或其衍生的非胶原蛋白(NC1)片段的表达对于鳞状细胞癌(SCC)的发展必不可少。然而,此处观察到完全缺乏胶原蛋白VII表达的RDEB患者确实会发生SCC,这一观点受到了挑战。RDEB相关SCC的侵袭性仍无法解释。
