The distribution of three (recently discovered) extracellular matrix components (tenascin, biglycan and decorin) was studied in normal adult human skin and in a number of monogenic disorders of keratinization, using immunohistology. The expression of tenascin, which is sparsely distributed in normal human dermis, was found to be grossly increased in epidermolytic hyperkeratoses and in Darier's disease. Tenascin expression in three types of ichthyosis (X-linked recessive ichthyosis, autosomal dominant ichthyosis vulgaris, non-erythrodermic lamellar ichthyosis) was similar to that of normal skin. The presence of biglycan and decorin did not show a marked variation between the different disorders studied, suggesting that their expression is subject to regulatory mechanisms distinct from those of tenascin. The increased expression of tenascin in two disorders of keratinization with a hyperproliferative phenotype, lends further support to the hypothesis that dermal tenascin expression is increased as a result of epidermal hyperproliferation.
