Small proline-rich proteins 1 and 2 function as antimicrobial proteins in the skin

Using RNA-sequencing we tested how human sebaceous glands cells respond to bacterial stimuli by comparing the mRNA profiles of sebaceous gland cells treated with lipopolysaccharide to vehicle treated sebaceous gland cells. Whole transcriptome sequecning of human immortalized sebaceous gland cells (SZ95 cells) treated with lipopolysaccharide compared to control (vehicle treated) cells.
