Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) affects elderly individuals with multiple comorbidities, making conventional treatments unsuitable.
Objectives: Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of BP.
Methods: A multicentre ambispective cohort study was conducted across 34 hospitals. Patients with BP treated with dupilumab were included. Most of the patients (97.1%) received an initial 600-mg dose followed by 300 mg every 2 weeks. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving complete remission (CR) within 4 weeks, defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment score of 0 or 1. CR at weeks 16, 24 and 52, adverse events (AEs), reductions in Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) and systemic glucocorticoid use were also assessed.
Results: The study included 103 patients with a median age of 77.3 years; 58.3% were male. CR was achieved by 53.4% within 4 weeks and 95.7% by week 52. The PP-NRS score reduced by 70.0% by week 4 and was completely controlled by week 24. Thirteen patients presented with AEs, most of which were mild. Systemic glucocorticoid use reduced by 82.1% by week 52. Shorter disease duration and exclusive cutaneous involvement predicted better response at 16 weeks. No differences in response rates to dupilumab were observed between drug-associated BP and idiopathic cases. No significant difference in response rates was observed between patients treated with dupilumab in monotherapy and those receiving dupilumab with concomitant treatments.
Conclusions: Dupilumab is effective, rapid and safe in managing BP, reducing the need for corticosteroids and other treatments. Early initiation and exclusive skin involvement predict better outcomes.

Background: Skin wound healing involves a complex gene expression programme that remains largely undiscovered in humans. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are key players in this process.
Objectives: To understand the functions and potential interactions of circRNAs and miRNAs in human skin wound healing.
Methods: CircRNA, linear RNA and miRNA expression in human acute and chronic wounds were analysed with RNA sequencing and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The roles of circASH1L(4,5) and miR-129-5p were studied in human primary keratinocytes (proliferation and migration assays, microarray analysis) and ex vivo wound models (histological analysis). The interaction between circASH1L(4,5) and miR-129-5p was examined using luciferase reporter and RNA pulldown assays.
Results: We identified circASH1L(4,5) and its interaction with miR-129-5p, both of which increased during human skin wound healing. Unlike typical miRNA sponging, circASH1L enhanced miR-129 stability and silencing activity by protecting it from target-directed degradation triggered by NR6A1 mRNA. Transforming growth factor-β signalling - crucial in wound healing - promoted circASH1L expression while suppressing NR6A1, thereby increasing the abundance of miR-129 at the post-transcriptional level. CircASH1L and miR-129 enhanced keratinocyte migration and proliferation, crucial processes for the re-epithelialization of human wounds.
Conclusions: Our study uncovered a novel role for circRNAs as protectors of miRNAs and highlights the importance of regulated miRNA degradation in skin wound healing.
