    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The regulatory effect of integrin β6 (ITGB6) on sweat gland cells in primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the involvement of ITGB6 in the pathogenesis of PPH. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sweat gland tissues were collected from PPH patients and healthy volunteers. The expression levels of ITGB6 in sweat gland tissues were detected with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blot and immunohistochemical staining. Sweat gland cells were extracted from PPH patients, and identified with immunofluorescence staining of CEA and CK7. The expression of aquaporin 5 (AQP5) and Na-K-Cl cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) in primary sweat gland cells that overexpress ITGB6 were also detected. Through a series of bioinformatic methods, differentially expressed genes in sweat gland tissues were examined and validated via comparing PPH samples and controls. The key proteins and biological functions enriched in PPH were determined using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. RESULTS: The ITGB6 was upregulated in sweat gland tissues of PPH patients compared to that of healthy volunteers. The CEA and CK7 were positively expressed in sweat gland cells extracted from PPH patients. The overexpression of ITGB6 upregulated AQP5 and NKCC1 protein expression in the sweat gland cells of PPH patients. A total of 562 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified using high-throughput sequencing (394 upregulated, 168 downregulated), which were mainly active in the chemokine and Wnt signaling pathways. After verification with qPCR and western blot, the overexpression of ITGB6 significantly upregulated CXCL3, CXCL5, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and downregulated Wnt2 mRNA and protein expression in sweat gland cells. CONCLUSIONS: The ITGB6 is upregulated in PPH patients. It may be involved in the pathogenesis of PPH by upregulating AQP5, NKCC1, CXCL3, CXCL5, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and downregulating Wnt2 expression in sweat glands.
