Abstract:

The RT-PCR based quantitative analysis of A transcription factor gene expression was carried out and showed the up-regulation of ATF-1, ATF-3 and ATF-4 genes expression in morphea lesions. Overexpression of ATF-1, ATF-3 and ATF-4 genes in affected skin samples was shown to be evident. These findings suggest the concept that these parameters may be used to evaluate the activity of the pathologic process.
