Each participating center was asked to submit data on 10 to 12 consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of SLE and 12 to 15 controls. The controls were to consist of consecutively seen patients with one of the following diagnoses: rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, chronic cutaneous lupus, undifferentiated connective tissue disease, vasculitis, primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, scleroderma, fibromyalgia, Sjögren syndrome, rosacea, psoriasis, sarcoidosis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Because it was recognized that important control groups , including chronic cutaneous lupus, which had not necessarily been part of previous efforts, needed to be represented, cases were also contributed by a number of dermatologists.

Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, pimple-like bumps.
It primarily affects the central face, including the cheeks, nose, and forehead.
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Treatment options may include topical medications, oral medications, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
Early recognition and appropriate management of rosacea are important to prevent potentially serious complications and improve quality of life for those affected by this common skin disorder.

The measurements took place at the right volar forearm, because this location is easy to access, mainly refrained from UV‐light damage, hair, and sebaceous glands, and often used as a standard anatomical site for skin barrier studies.3 , 22 , 23 , 24 All procedures were performed by one investigator (JGML). A circular area of approx. 3 × 3 cm was demarked with a pen at this location. The demarked skin was acclimatized to ambient air (room temperature: 22‐26°C; air humidity: 40%‐65%) for at least 10 minutes before start of measurements. Volunteers were placed in upright, sitting position during all study procedures.
First, SCH and TEWL were measured with the GPSkin once at the air‐exposed forearm. Then, SCH was determined by performing one measurement with the Epsilon. The Snapshot mode was used with a 5 seconds delay after first skin contact, and the average of three frames was calculated automatically. For both devices, moderate pressure was applied to keep contact with the skin surface. Thirdly, TEWL was measured with the Aquaflux. After calibration of this device, two measurements were performed with standard settings and a maximum measurement time of 180 seconds. The average of the two measurements was calculated. The Aquaflux was kept steady and perpendicular to the skin surface with very light skin pressure during measurements.
Next, the skin barrier of the demarked forearm location was disturbed using tapestripping, a noninvasive, painless, widely applied procedure to analyze SC barrier function without interfering with deeper, living epidermal keratinocytes.9 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 Repetitive adhesive tapes were applicated to the skin for 10 seconds with a standardized pressure pen (150 g/cm2; D'Squame) and sequentially removed until the skin became partly to homogeneously refulgent, corresponding to partial to almost complete removal of the SC; 13‐33 tapes per volunteer were needed. In this way, a wide range of SCH and TEWL values was obtained.
Directly after the tapestripping procedure, GPSkin, Epsilon, and Aquaflux measurements were repeated at the demarked location as described above. Lastly, one GPSkin measurement per cheek site was performed in each volunteer for later comparison to rosacea patients in pilot 2 (Figure1 ).

A PPI network analysis was performed to confirm the interaction between the proteins common between GBH and rosacea. This process was performed using the StringApp ver. 1.7.0. (Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark) using Cytoscape software. This application is based on the STRING database, a representative database that integrates all direct (physical) and indirect (functional) data between proteins. This database collects and predicts PPI information through 4 main sources: co-expression analysis, signal sharing system analysis between genes, text mining, and computer prediction based on gene ontology (GO). A confidence score was assigned based on the 4 resources above, where a high score was >0.700, a medium score was between 0.400 and 0.700, and a low score was <0.400.[35 (link)]In addition, CytoNCA application ver. 2.1.6. (School of Information Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, China) was used to confirm the core genes in the PPI network. Screening was conducted using the following indicators that reflect the topological characteristics of the network: betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, degree centrality, eigenvector centrality, local average connectivity-based method, and network centrality. Nodes with all 6 indicators exceeding the average value were filtered and set as core genes.[36 (link)]

For the target proteins extracted above, ClueGo application ver. 2.5.8. (Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology, Paris, France) was used to conduct GO functional annotation and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis. First, an analysis of the overlapping proteins was performed to understand the therapeutic mechanism of GBH in rosacea. Second, each target gene list that overlapped with rosacea was analyzed and compared to confirm the differences between GBH and the drugs recommended by the guidelines.
The ClueGo application provides an analysis of the pathways/terms based on these 2 databases. In addition, it can provide a grouping function for similar pathways/terms.[37 (link)] The strength of this similarity was measured using chance-corrected kappa statistics. The terms/pathways with the highest significance within the functional group are representatively expressed.[38 (link)]

Genetic information related to rosacea was collected using the GeneCards database ver. 5.5 (https://www.genecards.org/ ). The GeneCards database provides comprehensive information on human genes, diseases, mutations, proteins, cells, and biological pathways.[31 ] The database has been recently used to search for disease-related genes in various network pharmacology studies.[32 (link),33 (link)]The Medical Subject Headings database (MeSH Terms Database, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ ) was used for a more extensive search. The entry terms were checked by searching “Rosacea” in the MeSH database, and the results were as follows: Rosacea, rhinophyma, erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, “phymatous rosacea,” “ocular rosacea,” “granulomatous rosacea,” and “acne rosacea.” Accordingly, rosacea-related genes were identified in the Genecards database using each search term, and the extracted genes were listed in the form of a label of the HGNC gene symbol.

The proteins targeted by the currently recommended chemical drugs for rosacea were also investigated. Accordingly, the paper that compared and analyzed the 4 guidelines was referred to,[34 (link)] and all the recommended chemical ingredients were extracted. The 4 guidelines include the 2017 Global Rosacea Consensus (ROSCO), 2017 Swiss S1 guideline, 2016 Canada Clinical practice guideline, and the 2016 China Consensus.
The extracted chemical ingredients were divided into topical and systemic ingredients, and target proteins were searched using the STITCH database. All search conditions were the same as those for the GBH. The condition was limited to Homo sapiens, and the confidence score was set to >0.700. The search results were sorted in the form of a label for the HGNC gene symbol.

More about "Rosacea"
Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, pimple-like bumps.
It primarily affects the central face, including the cheeks, nose, and forehead.
This common skin disorder is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and early recognition and appropriate management are crucial to prevent potentially serious complications and improve quality of life for those affected.
Rosacea, also known as acne rosacea or dematosis, is a skin condition that can have a significant impact on an individual's appearance and self-confidence.
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but research suggests that it may be influenced by a range of factors, including genetics, environmental triggers, and immune system dysregulation.
Symptoms of rosacea can vary from person to person, but often include persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and the development of pimple-like bumps, particularly on the central face.
In some cases, the condition may also lead to thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose (rhinophyma), or eye-related symptoms such as dry, irritated eyes (ocular rosacea).
To manage rosacea, a range of treatment options may be employed, including topical medications (such as metronidazole or azelaic acid), oral medications (such as tetracyclines or isotretinoin), and lifestyle modifications (such as avoiding trigger factors, using gentle skincare products, and protecting the skin from sun exposure).
Researchers have utilized a variety of tools and technologies to study rosacea, including the Leica S8AP0 microscope, the VISIA® 6.0 Complexion Analysis System, the Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array, and statistical software like Stata 15 and SAS.
These tools have helped to shed light on the underlying mechanisms of the condition, as well as to identify potential risk factors and treatment approaches.
Overall, rosacea is a complex and multifaceted skin condition that requires careful management and ongoing monitoring.
By understanding the latest research and utilizing cutting-edge technologies, healthcare professionals and researchers can work to improve the quality of life for those affected by this common and often challenging skin disorder.
