Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a recurrent inflammatory skin disease with a complex etiopathogenesis whose treatment poses a challenge in the clinical practice. Here, we present a novel integrated pipeline produced by the European consortium BATMAN (Biomolecular Analysis for Tailored Medicine in Acne iNversa) aimed at investigating the molecular pathways involved in HS by developing new diagnosis algorithms and building cellular models to pave the way for personalized treatments. The objectives of our european Consortium are the following: (1) identify genetic variants and alterations in biological pathways associated with HS susceptibility, severity and response to treatment; (2) design in vitro two-dimensional epithelial cell and tri-dimensional skin models to unravel the HS molecular mechanisms; and (3) produce holistic health records HHR to complement medical observations by developing a smartphone application to monitor patients remotely. Dermatologists, geneticists, immunologists, molecular cell biologists, and computer science experts constitute the BATMAN consortium. Using a highly integrated approach, the BATMAN international team will identify novel biomarkers for HS diagnosis and generate new biological and technological tools to be used by the clinical community to assess HS severity, choose the most suitable therapy and follow the outcome.
化脓性汗腺炎(HS)是一种复发性炎症性皮肤病,其发病机制复杂,治疗极具挑战性。在这里,我们展示了一个由欧洲联盟 BATMAN(痤疮逆向中的定制药物的生物分子分析)产生的新型综合管道,旨在通过开发新的诊断算法和构建细胞模型来研究 HS 涉及的分子途径,为个性化治疗铺平道路。我们的欧洲联盟的目标如下:(1)确定与 HS 易感性、严重程度和治疗反应相关的遗传变异和生物途径的改变;(2)设计体外二维上皮细胞和三维皮肤模型,以揭示 HS 的分子机制;(3)通过开发智能手机应用程序来远程监测患者,生成全面的健康记录(HHR)以补充医学观察。皮肤科医生、遗传学家、免疫学家、分子细胞生物学家和计算机科学专家构成了 BATMAN 联盟。通过高度综合的方法,BATMAN 国际团队将为 HS 的诊断确定新的生物标志物,并生成新的生物和技术工具,供临床界评估 HS 的严重程度、选择最合适的治疗方法并跟踪结果。
