Abstract
Skin yellowness is a hallmark of dull or unhealthy skin, particularly among Asians. Previous research has indicated a link between skin glycation and skin yellowness. However, the specific glycated chemicals contributing to yellowish skin appearance have not been identified yet. Using HPLC-PDA-HRMS coupled with native and artificially glycated human epidermal explant skin, we identified intensely yellow colored glycated chromophores "(1R, 8aR) and (1S, 8aR)-4-(2-furyl)-7-[(2-furyl)-methylidene]-2-hydroxy-2H,7H,8AH-pyrano-[2,3-B]-pyran-3-one" (abbreviated as AGEY) from human skin samples for the first time. The abundance of AGEY was strongly correlated with skin yellowness in the multiple skin explant tissues. We further confirmed the presence of AGEY in cultured human keratinocytes and 3D reconstructed human epidermal (RHE) models. Additionally, we demonstrated that a combination of four cosmetic compounds with anti-glycation properties can inhibit the formation of AGEY and reduce yellowness in the RHE models. In conclusion, we have identified specific advanced glycation end products with an intense yellow color, namely AGEY, in human skin tissues for the first time. The series of study results highlighted the significant contribution of AGEY to the yellow appearance of the skin. Furthermore, we have identified a potential cosmetic solution to mitigate AGEY formation, leading to a reduction in yellowness in the in vitro RHE models.

The ceramide [NP]/[NS] ratio in the stratum corneum is a potential marker for skin properties and epidermal differentiation. BMC DERMATOLOGY 2020; 20:6. [PMID: 32867747 PMCID: PMC7461267 DOI: 10.1186/s12895-020-00102-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Specific species of ceramides (Cer), major constituents of lipids in the stratum corneum (SC), are decreased and are correlated with SC barrier and water-holding functions in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) or psoriasis (Pso). However, possible correlations between Cer subclass ratios and skin properties in barrier-disrupted skin and in healthy skin remain unclear. The objective of this study was to identify a new marker to evaluate skin properties and epidermal differentiation in SC not only in barrier-disrupted skin but also in healthy skin. METHODS The Cer subclass ratios in the SC of healthy control subjects and in patients with AD or Pso were evaluated. Correlations with candidate markers and facial skin features of healthy Japanese females (20-74 years old, n = 210) were investigated. Variations of markers during epidermal differentiation were studied in human epidermis and in cultured keratinocytes. RESULTS The ratios of Cer [NP]/[NS], Cer [NH]/[NS], Cer [NP]/[AS], Cer [NH]/[NS], Cer [NDS]/[AS], Cer [AH]/[AS] and Cer [EOP]/[AS] showed significant differences between non-lesional skin of AD patients and normal skin of healthy control subjects, as well as Pso patients and their healthy control subjects. The Cer [NP]/[NS] ratio was correlated with SC functional parameters (transepidermal water loss and capacitance) and with skin appearance (texture, scaling and color) even in the cheek skin of healthy female subjects. The Cer [NP]/[NS] ratio in the SC was approximately 18-times higher than in living keratinocytes, and it increased as they differentiated. CONCLUSIONS The Cer [NP]/[NS] ratio in the SC is a potential marker for skin properties and epidermal differentiation in barrier-disrupted skin as well as in healthy skin.

Abstract
Upon bioprinting, cells are mixed with a biomaterial to fabricate a living tissue, thus emphasizing the importance of biomaterials. The biomaterial used in this study was a bio-ink prepared using skin decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM). Skin dECM was extracted by treating the dermis with chemicals and enzymes; the basic structural and functional proteins of the ECM, including collagen, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), bioreactive materials and growth factors, were preserved, whereas the resident cells that might cause immune rejection or inflammatory responses were removed. The bio-ink based on dECM powder, together with human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), was loaded into the nozzle of the 3D bioprinter to create the 3D construct. This construct underwent gelation with changing temperature while its shape was maintained for 7 days. The cells showed over 90% viability and proliferation. By analysing the gene expression pattern in the cells of the construct, the skin regenerative mechanism of the bio-ink was verified. Microarray results confirmed that the gene expression related to skin morphology and development had been enhanced because the bioreactive molecules and growth factors, in addition to residual ECM in dECM, provided an optimal condition for the HDFs.

Chaudhuri RK, Bojanowski K. Improvement of hydration and epidermal barrier function in human skin by a novel compound isosorbide dicaprylate. Int J Cosmet Sci 2017; 39:518-526. [PMID: 28543784 DOI: 10.1111/ics.12405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2017] [Accepted: 05/20/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study involved the synthesis of a novel derivative of caprylic acid - isosorbide dicaprylate (IDC) - and the evaluation of its potential in improving water homoeostasis and epidermal barrier function in human skin. METHODS The effect of IDC on gene expression was assayed in skin organotypic cultures by DNA microarrays. The results were then confirmed for a few key genes by quantitative PCR, immuno- and cytochemistry. Final validation of skin hydration properties was obtained by four separate clinical studies. Level of hydration was measured by corneometer either by using 2% IDC lotion alone vs placebo or in combination with 2% glycerol lotion vs 2% glycerol only. A direct comparison in skin hydration between 2% IDC and 2% glycerol lotions was also carried out. The epidermal barrier function improvement was assessed by determining changes in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) on the arms before and after treatment with 2% IDC lotion versus placebo. RESULTS IDC was found to upregulate the expression of AQP3, CD44 and proteins involved in keratinocyte differentiation as well as the formation and function of stratum corneum. A direct comparison between 2% IDC versus 2% glycerol lotions revealed a three-fold advantage of IDC in providing skin hydration. Severely dry skin treated with 2% IDC in combination with 2% glycerol showed 133% improvement, whereas 35% improvement was observed with moderately dry human skin. CONCLUSION Topical isosorbide dicaprylate favourably modulates genes involved in the maintenance of skin structure and function, resulting in superior clinical outcomes. By improving skin hydration and epidermal permeability barrier, it offers therapeutic applications in skin ageing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The barrier function of the epidermis is integral to personal well-being, and defects in the skin barrier are associated with several widespread diseases. Currently there is a limited understanding of system-level proteomic changes during epidermal stratification and barrier establishment. OBJECTIVE Here we report the quantitative proteogenomic profile of an in vitro reconstituted epidermis at three time points of development in order to characterize protein changes during stratification. METHODS The proteome was measured using data-dependent "shotgun" mass spectrometry and quantified with statistically validated label-free proteomic methods for 20 replicates at each of three time points during the course of epidermal development. RESULTS Over 3600 proteins were identified in the reconstituted epidermis, with more than 1200 of these changing in abundance over the time course. We also collected and discuss matched transcriptomic data for the three time points, allowing alignment of this new dataset with previously published characterization of the reconstituted epidermis system. CONCLUSION These results represent the most comprehensive epidermal-specific proteome to date, and therefore reveal several aspects of barrier formation and skin composition. The limited correlation between transcript and protein abundance underscores the importance of proteomic analysis in developing a full understanding of epidermal maturation.
