Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) 27C1 is expressed in human skin and catalyzes the 3,4-desaturation of retinoids. The enzyme has a relatively high specificity constant (kcat/Km), and ∼¼ of the retinoids in human skin are in the desaturated form but their function is unknown. 3,4-Dehydroretinoic acid (also didehydroretinoic acid, ddRA) has similar affinity as all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) for retinoid X and retinoic acid receptors (RXRs/RAR). The metabolism of ddRA is unknown, and we considered the hypothesis that desaturation might be a protective mechanism in maintaining active retinoid levels in the body. There are limited theoretical products that can result from ddRA oxidation. We optimized conditions for oxidation of atRA by human liver microsomes-a slow loss of atRA was seen due to 4-oxidation but no loss of ddRA was observed under the same conditions. We evaluated the HPLC peaks that were observed in microsomal incubations with ddRA using UV spectroscopy, NaBH4 and NaBD4 reduction, and mass spectrometry. None were potential ddRA oxidation products, and none were increased in the presence of the P450 cofactor NADPH. Known P450 inhibitors had no effects on the levels of these compounds. We conclude that ddRA is not readily oxidized by P450s and that one role of desaturation may be the maintenance of levels of functional retinoids.

Abstract
Vitamin A and its synthetic analogues are used in the treatment of numerous skin diseases. The main genomic effects of the natural form of vitamin A (retinol palmitate) are associated with its active metabolite all-trans-retinoic acid and are compensated by several restrictive mechanisms. Numerous studies have proved that retinol stimulates the proliferation of keratinocytes of the basal layer of the epidermis and endothelial cells, and also activates dermal fibroblasts to synthesize proteins of the extracellular matrix of the dermis. As a result, the thickening the epidermis, increases the mechanical strength of the skin and the hydrating ability of the dermis, angiogenesis increase. The ability of retinol to enhance the adhesion of endothelial cells and leukocytes, regulate the processes of keratinization and sebum secretion was found. Vitamin A is also a powerful antioxidant. Retinol palmitate is used as the main or auxiliary drug for the treatment of a wide range of dermatoses. The principle of application is based on clinical studies and confirmed by existing experimental data. In the treatment, the following algorithm is followed. If retinol palmitate is necessary to improve epithelialization and strengthen the epidermal barrier, medium therapeutic doses should be used. For the treatment of disorders of keratinization processes, depending on the severity of the pathological condition, medium and high therapeutic doses of the drug are used. Violation of the processes of sebum secretion and severe hyperkeratosis respond better to treatment at high therapeutic doses. It should be noted that many skins clinical manifestations mostly regress under the action of vitamin A in doses that do not lead to the appearance of signs of toxicity of the drug.

Abstract
Retinoids are natural and synthetic vitamin A derivatives that are effective for the prevention and the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). NMSCs constitute a heterogenous group of non-melanocyte-derived skin cancers that impose substantial burdens on patients and healthcare systems. They include entities such as basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (collectively called keratinocyte carcinomas), cutaneous lymphomas and Kaposi’s sarcoma among others. The retinoid signaling pathway plays influential roles in skin physiology and pathology. These compounds regulate diverse biological processes within the skin, including proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis and immune regulation. Collectively, retinoids can suppress skin carcinogenesis. Both topical and systemic retinoids have been investigated in clinical trials as NMSC prophylactics and treatments. Desirable efficacy and tolerability in clinical trials have prompted health regulatory bodies to approve the use of retinoids for NMSC management. Acceptable off-label uses of these compounds as drugs for skin cancers are also described. This review is a comprehensive outline on the biochemistry of retinoids, their activities in the skin, their effects on cancer cells and their adoption in clinical practice.

Olfactory Receptor OR7A17 Expression Correlates with All- Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA)-Induced Suppression of Proliferation in Human Keratinocyte Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212304. [PMID: 34830183 PMCID: PMC8623719 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Revised: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Olfactory receptors (ORs), which belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor family, have been widely studied as ectopically expressed receptors in various human tissues, including the skin. However, the physiological functions of only a few OR types have been elucidated in skin cells. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a well-known medication for various skin diseases. However, many studies have shown that ATRA can have adverse effects, resulting from the suppression of cell proliferation. Here, we investigated the involvement of OR7A17 in the ATRA-induced suppression of human keratinocyte (HaCaT) proliferation. We demonstrated that OR7A17 is expressed in HaCaT keratinocytes, and its expression was downregulated by ATRA. The ATRA-induced downregulation of OR7A17 was attenuated via RAR α or RAR γ antagonist treatment, indicating that the effects of ATRA on OR7A17 expression were mediated through nuclear retinoic acid receptor signaling. Moreover, we found that the overexpression of OR7A17 induced the proliferation of HaCaT cells while counteracting the antiproliferative effect of ATRA. Mechanistically, OR7A17 overexpression reversed the ATRA-induced attenuation of Ca2+ entry. Our findings indicated that ATRA suppresses cell proliferation through the downregulation of OR7A17 via RAR α- and γ-mediated retinoid signaling. Taken together, OR7A17 is a potential therapeutic target for ameliorating the anti-proliferative effects of ATRA.

Abstract
A proper skin barrier function requires constant formation of stratum corneum, i.e. the outermost layer of epidermis composed of terminally differentiated keratinocytes. The complex process of converting proliferative basal keratinocytes into corneocytes relies on programmed changes in the activity of many well-established genes. Much remains however to be investigated about this process, e.g. in conjunction with epidermal barrier defects due to genetic errors as in ichthyosis. To this end, we re-analyzed two sets of microarray-data comparing altered gene expression in differentiated vs. proliferating keratinocytes and in the skin of patients with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) vs. healthy controls, respectively. We thus identified 24 genes to be upregulated in both sets of array and not previously associated with keratinocyte differentiation. For 10 of these genes (AKR1B10, BLNK, ENDOU, GCNT4, GLTP, RHCG, SLC15A1, TMEM45B, TMEM86A and VSNL1), qPCR analysis confirmed the array results and subsequent immunostainings of normal epidermis showed superficial expression of several of the proteins. Furthermore, induction of keratinocyte differentiation using phorbol esters (PMA) resulted in increased expression of eight of the genes, whereas siRNA silencing of PPARδ, a transcription factor supporting differentiation, had the opposite effect. In summary, our results identify ten new candidate genes seemingly involved in human epidermal keratinocyte differentiation and possibly important for epidermal repair in a genetic skin disease characterized by barrier failure.

Abstract
Animal studies as early as the 1920s suggested that vitamin A deficiency leads to squamous cell metaplasia in numerous epithelial tissues including the skin. However, humans usually die from vitamin A deficiency before cancers have time to develop. A recent long-term cohort study found that high dietary vitamin A reduced the risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). cSCC is a form of nonmelanoma skin cancer that primarily occurs from excess exposure to ultraviolet light B (UVB). These cancers are expensive to treat and can lead to metastasis and death. Oral synthetic retinoids prevent the reoccurrence of cSCC, but side effects limit their use in chemoprevention. Several proteins involved in vitamin A metabolism and signaling are altered in cSCC, which may lead to retinoid resistance. The expression of vitamin A metabolism proteins may also have prognostic value. This article reviews what is known about natural and synthetic retinoids and their metabolism in cSCC.

Abstract
BackgroundStevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), a blistering disorder of the skin and mucous membrane, leads to ocular morbidity in >60% of cases. Retinoids are vital micronutrients for vision, regulating corneal and conjunctival cell proliferation, differentiation and immune function. This prospective case–control study probed for alterations in retinoid metabolism by evaluating retinoic acid receptor signalling in the conjunctival cells of patients with SJS.MethodsImprints were collected from the bulbar conjunctiva of patients with chronic SJS. The gene expression of retinoic acid receptors, namely, RXRA, RARA, RARG, RORA; the fibrosis marker TGFβ and its receptor TGFβRII; the transcription factors PPAR-γ, STRA6 and Stat3; the enzymes aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1a1), alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT); and the Cyp genes Cyp26a1 and Cyp26b1 were assessed by quantitative PCR in patients with SJS pre-mucous (n = 34) and post-mucous membrane graft (MMG) intervention (n=19) in comparison with age-matched/sex-matched healthy controls (n=20). Western blot analysis of ALDH1a1, RARA and RARG were done in the conjunctival imprint cells.ResultsThe transcript levels of ALDH1a1, RXRA, RORA, STRA6, Cyp26a1 and Cyp26b1 were decreased around 4, 26, 17, 129, 9 and 8 folds, respectively, and RARA, RARG, PPAR-γ, TGFβ, TGFβRII were increased by 12, 15, 51, 16 and 87 folds, respectively, in SJS conjunctiva at the pre-MMG stage. The changes in RORA, Cyp26a1, Cyp26b1, RARA and Stat3 were statistically significant (p<0.05). Changes in protein expression of ALDH1a1, RARA and RARG supported the gene expression changes.ConclusionsThe study provides the first experimental insight into the role of retinoid metabolism in the ocular sequelae of chronic SJS.

Abstract
All‑trans retinoic acid (ATRA) regulates skin cell proliferation and differentiation. ATRA is widely used in the treatment of skin diseases, but results in irritation, dryness and peeling, possibly due to an impaired skin barrier, although the exact mechanisms are unclear. The present study established an ATRA‑associated dermatitis mouse model (n=32) in order to examine the molecular mechanisms of skin barrier impairment by ATRA. Changes in epidermal morphology and structure were observed using histological examination and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Gene expression was analyzed by microarray chip assay. Histology and TEM demonstrated pronounced epidermal hyperproliferation and parakeratosis upon ATRA application. The stratum corneum layer displayed abnormal lipid droplets and cell‑cell junctions, suggesting alterations in lipid metabolism and dysfunctional cell junctions. Gene expression profiling revealed that factors associated with epidermal barrier function were differentially expressed by ATRA, including those associated with tight junctions (TJs), cornified envelopes, lipids, proteases, protease inhibitors and transcription factors. In the mouse epidermis, Claudin‑1 and ‑4 are proteins involved in TJs and have key roles in epidermal barrier function. ATRA reduced the expression and altered the localization of Claudin‑1 in HaCaT immortalized keratinocytes and the mouse epidermis, which likely leads to the disruption of the epidermal barrier. By contrast, Claudin‑4 was upregulated in HaCaT cells and the mouse epidermis following treatment with ATRA. In conclusion, ATRA exerts a dual effect on epidermal barrier genes: It downregulates the expression of Claudin‑1 and upregulates the expression of Claudin‑4. Claudin‑4 upregulation may be a compensatory response for the disrupted barrier function caused by Claudin‑1 downregulation.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a group of monogenic skin disorders caused by mutations in any of at least 12 different genes, many of which are involved in the epidermal synthesis of ω-O-acylceramides (acylCer). AcylCer are essential precursors of the corneocyte lipid envelope crosslinked by transglutaminase-1 (TGm-1), or a yet unidentified enzyme, for normal skin barrier formation. We hypothesized that inactivating TGM1 mutations will lead to a compensatory overexpression of the transcripts involved in skin barrier repair, including many other ARCI-causing genes. Using microarray, we examined the global mRNA expression profile in skin biopsies from five ARCI patients with TGM1 mutations and four healthy controls. There were a total of 599 significantly differentially expressed genes (adjusted P < 0.05), out of which 272 showed more than 1.5 log2fold-change (FC) up- or down-regulation. Functional classification of the latter group of transcripts showed enrichment of mRNA encoding proteins mainly associated with biological pathways involved in keratinocyte differentiation and immune response. Moreover, the expression of seven out of twelve ARCI-causing genes was significantly increased (FC = 0.98-2.05). Also, many of the genes involved in keratinocyte differentiation (cornified envelope formation) and immune response (antimicrobial peptides and proinflammatory cytokines) were upregulated. The results from the microarray analysis were also verified for selected genes at the mRNA level by qPCR and at the protein level by semi-quantitative immunofluorescence. The upregulation of these genes might reflect a compensatory induction of acylCer biosynthesis as a part of a global barrier repair response in the patient's epidermis.
