Inhibition of LPS-Induced Skin Inflammatory Response and Barrier Damage via MAPK/NF-κB Signaling Pathway by Houttuynia cordata Thunb Fermentation Broth. Foods 2024; 13:1470. [PMID: 38790770 PMCID: PMC11120194 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Houttuynia cordata Thunb is rich in active substances and has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Scanning electron microscopy and gel permeation chromatography were used to analyze the molecular characteristics of the fermentation broth of Houttuynia cordata Thunb obtained through fermentation with Clavispora lusitaniae (HCT-f). The molecular weight of HCT-f was 2.64265 × 105 Da, and the polydispersity coefficient was 183.10, which were higher than that of unfermented broth of Houttuynia cordata Thunb (HCT). By investigating the active substance content and in vitro antioxidant activity of HCT-f and HCT, the results indicated that HCT-f had a higher active substance content and exhibited a superior scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals and hydroxyl radicals, with IC50 values of 11.85% and 9.01%, respectively. Our results showed that HCT-f could effectively alleviate the increase in the secretion of inflammatory factors and apoptotic factors caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, and had a certain effect on repairing skin barrier damage. HCT-f could exert an anti-inflammatory effect by down-regulating signaling in the MAPK/NF-κB pathway. The results of erythrocyte hemolysis and chicken embryo experiments showed that HCT-f had a high safety profile. Therefore, this study provides a theoretical basis for the application of HCT-f as an effective ingredient in food and cosmetics.

Abstract
Palmoplantar keratodermas (PPK) comprise a heterogeneous group of keratinization disorders that gradually progress during childhood, resulting in difficulties to establish a diagnosis and to identify a candidate gene for sequencing. Dermoscopic examination with staining of palmoplantar skin using a whiteboard marker, so-called "furrow ink test", could be a useful tool for differentiation between furrow and ridge in understanding the morphological characteristics of PPK. One of the striking features in autosomal dominant loricrin keratoderma (LK) is diffuse PPK with honeycomb pattern. In this study, we performed dermoscopic furrow ink test in a Japanese family of LK with the most frequent mutation c.684dup, p.Ser229Valfs*107 in the loricrin gene. The severe lesion revealed that irregular circular hyperkeratoses were aggregated and normal structures of furrows and ridges were disrupted. To accurately describe the nature of this dermoscopic patterned skin surface, we suggest that the condition could be termed as "irregular cobblestone appearance" rather than "honeycomb pattern". Regular cobblestone appearance to maintain parallel furrow structure was observed in early or mild hyperkeratotic lesions. Eccrine sweat glands that open on the surface of ridges nearly disappeared, resulting in hypohidrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loricrin keratoderma is a rare early-onset autosomal dominant skin disorder. At present, no clinical reports have been published on characteristics of progressive aggravation and late-onset. OBJECTIVES To identified a new-found pedigree with c.323 G>C mutation leading to progressive aggravation and late-onset loricrin keratoderma. METHODS Targeted next-generation sequencing of 267 genes associated with all skin abnormalities, sanger sequencing, and bioinformatics tools were used to identify the mutation in this new-found pedigree. Palm skin biopsy was used to observe the clinicopathological features of patient. Further, we constructed pcDNA3.1/V5-His-wild-LORICRIN, pcDNA3.1/V5-His-c.323G>C-LORICRIN, and pcDNA3.1/V5-His-730insG-LORICRIN vectors, nucleofected into HaCaT strain to observe the subcellular localization of loricrin by using the laser scanning confocal microscopy. RESULTS The proband and his affected father carried a heterozygous c.323 G>C missense mutation (p.Gly108Ala) on LORICRIN. Bioinformatics analysis hinted that it had potential pathogenicity; the types of ligands, enzyme commission active sites, and the spatial structure of protein changed enormously. Laser scanning confocal microscopy showed that the signals from cells transfected with the pcDNA3.1/V5-His-730insG-LORICRIN vector were distributed mainly in the nucleus, whereas those from cells transfected with the pcDNA3.1/V5-His-c.323G>C-LORICRIN vector were mainly located in the cytoplasm. Wild type loricrin was distributed in the nucleus and cytoplasm homogeneously CONCLUSION: The heterozygous c.323G>C missense mutation on LORICRIN caused late-onset and progressive loricrin keratoderma in this large Chinese family. Our study revealed that a large number of loricrin gathered in the cytoplasm may disturb the normal proliferation and terminal differentiation of keratinocytes and lead to the late-onset loricrin keratoderma disease.

Abstract
The term palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) indicates any form of persistent thickening of the epidermis of palms and soles and includes genetic as well as acquired conditions. We review the nosology of hereditary PPKs that comprise an increasing number of entities with different prognoses, and a multitude of associated cutaneous and extracutaneous features. On the basis of the phenotypic consequences of the underlying genetic defect, hereditary PPKs may be divided into the following: (i) non-syndromic, isolated PPKs, which are characterized by a unique or predominant palmoplantar involvement; (ii) non-syndromic PPKs with additional distinctive cutaneous and adnexal manifestations, here named complex PPKs; (iii) syndromic PPKs, in which PPK is associated with specific extracutaneous manifestations. To date, the diagnosis of the different hereditary PPKs is based mainly on clinical history and features combined with histopathological findings. In recent years, the exponentially increasing use of next-generation sequencing technologies has led to the identification of several novel disease genes, and thus substantially contributed to elucidate the molecular basis of such a heterogeneous group of disorders. Here, we focus on hereditary non-syndromic isolated and complex PPKs. Syndromic PPKs are reviewed in the second part of this 2-part article, where other well-defined genetic diseases, which may present PPK among their phenotypic manifestations, are also listed and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for PPKs are summarized.

Abstract
Keratodermas comprise a heterogeneous group of highly debilitating and painful disorders characterized by thickening of the skin with marked hyperkeratosis. Some of these diseases are caused by genetic mutation, whereas other forms are acquired in response to environmental factors. Our understanding of signaling changes that underlie these diseases is limited. In the present study, we describe a keratoderma phenotype in mice in response to suprabasal epidermis-specific inhibition of activator protein 1 transcription factor signaling. These mice develop a severe phenotype characterized by hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, and impaired epidermal barrier function. The skin is scaled, constricting bands encircle the tail and digits, the footpads are thickened and scaled, and loricrin staining is markedly reduced in the cornified layers and increased in the nucleus. Features of this phenotype, including nuclear loricrin localization and pseudoainhum (autoamputation), are characteristic of the Vohwinkel syndrome. We confirm that the phenotype develops in a loricrin-null genetic background, indicating that suppressed suprabasal AP1 factor function is sufficient to drive this disease. We also show that the phenotype regresses when suprabasal AP1 factor signaling is restored. Our findings suggest that suppression of AP1 factor signaling in the suprabasal epidermis is a key event in the pathogenesis of keratoderma.

Abstract
Unlike other caspase family members, caspase-14 shows restricted expression, being found mostly in epidermis and its appendages. It has been suggested that caspase-14 is not involved in apoptosis or inflammation, but participates in keratinocyte terminal differentiation. Its activation occurs at the corneocyte formation. In previous work, we have purified active caspase-14 from human corneocyte extracts. In addition, we have clarified activation mechanism of caspase-14, where kallikrein-related peptidase 7 (KLK7) generates an intermediate form from procaspase-14 and this form finally converts procaspase-14 to active, mature caspase-14. Here we describe techniques for measurement of caspase-14 activity using synthetic substrate, purification of caspase-14 from corneocyte extract, preparation of constitutively active caspase-14 and specific antibody, quantification of total and active caspase-14 in corneocyte extracts using ELISA, as well as methods for caspase-14 activation and its visualization by immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
The relationship between the two coexpressed differentiation markers, profilaggrin and loricrin, is not clear right now. In this study, we explored the interaction of profilaggrin N-terminal domain (PND) with loricrin in keratinocytes and epidermis. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopic analysis of human epidermis showed that PND colocalized with loricrin. Loricrin nucleofected into HaCaT cells colocalized with PND in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The PND localizes to both the nucleus and cytoplasm of epidermal granular layer cells. Nucleofected PND also colocalized with keratin 10 (K10) in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Immunoelectron microscopic analysis of human epidermis confirmed the findings in nucleofected keratinocytes. Yeast two-hybrid assays showed that the B domain of human and mouse PND interacted with loricrin. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down analysis using recombinant GST-PND revealed that PND interacted with loricrin and K10. Knockdown of PND in an organotypic skin culture model caused loss of filaggrin expression and a reduction in both the size and number of keratohyalin granules, as well as markedly reduced expression of loricrin. Considering that expression of PND is closely linked to keratinocyte terminal differentiation, we conclude that PND interacts with loricrin and K10 in vivo and that these interactions are likely to be relevant for cornified envelope assembly and subsequent epidermal barrier formation.
