Wang X, Zhou Y, Luo C, Zhao J, Ji Y, Wang Z, Zheng P, Li D, Shi Y, Nishiura A, Matsumoto N, Honda Y, Xu B, Huang F. Senolytics ameliorate the failure of bone regeneration through the cell senescence-related inflammatory signalling pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116606. [PMID: 38670048 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Stress-induced premature senescent (SIPS) cells induced by various stresses deteriorate cell functions. Dasatinib and quercetin senolytics (DQ) can alleviate several diseases by eliminating senescent cells. α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is a widely used therapeutic approach for bone restoration but induces bone formation for a comparatively long time. Furthermore, bone infection exacerbates the detrimental prognosis of bone formation during material implant surgery due to oral cavity bacteria and unintentional contamination. It is essential to mitigate the inhibitory effects on bone formation during surgical procedures. Little is known that DQ improves bone formation in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-contaminated implants and its intrinsic mechanisms in the study of maxillofacial bone defects. This study aims to investigate whether the administration of DQ ameliorates the impairments on bone repair inflammation and contamination by eliminating SIPS cells. α-TCP and LPS-contaminated α-TCP were implanted into Sprague-Dawley rat calvaria bone defects. Simultaneously, bone formation in the bone defects was investigated with or without the oral administration of DQ. Micro-computed tomography and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that senolytics significantly enhanced bone formation at the defect site. Histology and immunofluorescence staining revealed that the levels of p21- and p16-positive senescent cells, inflammation, macrophages, reactive oxygen species, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells declined after administering DQ. DQ could partially alleviate the production of senescent markers and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes in vitro. This study indicates that LPS-contaminated α-TCP-based biomaterials can induce cellular senescence and hamper bone regeneration. Senolytics have significant therapeutic potential in reducing the adverse osteogenic effects of biomaterial-related infections and improving bone formation capacity.

Multi-System-Level Analysis Reveals Differential Expression of Stress Response-Associated Genes in Inflammatory Solar Lentigo. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:3973. [PMID: 38612783 PMCID: PMC11012242 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25073973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Although the pathogenesis of solar lentigo (SL) involves chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure, cellular senescence, and upregulated melanogenesis, underlying molecular-level mechanisms associated with SL remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the gene regulatory mechanisms intimately linked to inflammation in SL. Skin samples from patients with SL with or without histological inflammatory features were obtained. RNA-seq data from the samples were analyzed via multiple analysis approaches, including exploration of core inflammatory gene alterations, identifying functional pathways at both transcription and protein levels, comparison of inflammatory module (gene clusters) activation levels, and analyzing correlations between modules. These analyses disclosed specific core genes implicated in oxidative stress, especially the upregulation of nuclear factor kappa B in the inflammatory SLs, while genes associated with protective mechanisms, such as SLC6A9, were highly expressed in the non-inflammatory SLs. For inflammatory modules, Extracellular Immunity and Mitochondrial Innate Immunity were exclusively upregulated in the inflammatory SL. Analysis of protein-protein interactions revealed the significance of CXCR3 upregulation in the pathogenesis of inflammatory SL. In conclusion, the upregulation of stress response-associated genes and inflammatory pathways in response to UV-induced oxidative stress implies their involvement in the pathogenesis of inflammatory SL.

Abstract
Melanocytes exhibit a complex and intriguing relationship with the skin immune response, leading to several clinical conditions. In some disorders, inappropriate melanocyte destruction (e.g., vitiligo, halo naevi) is problematic, while in others, immune tolerance should be broken (melanoma). Important parts of the dysregulated pathways have been unraveled in pigment disorders, ranging from upregulated interferon (IFN)-γ signaling to memory T cells, regulatory T cells, and immune checkpoints. Although a network of many factors is involved, targeting key players such as IFN-γ or checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)] can shift the balance and lead to impressive outcomes. In this review, we focus on the immunological mechanisms of the most common inflammatory disorders where the interaction of the immune system with melanocytes plays a crucial role. This can provide new insights into the current state of melanocyte research.

Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase expression by selective clearing of senescent dermal fibroblasts attenuates ultraviolet-induced photoaging. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 150:113034. [PMID: 35489284 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Photoaging mainly occurs due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and is accompanied by increased secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and degradation of collagen. UV radiation induces cell senescence in the skin; however, the role of senescent cells in photoaging remains unclear. Therefore, to elucidate the role of senescent cells in photoaging, we evaluated the effect of senolytics in a photoaging mouse model and investigated the underlying mechanism of their antiaging effect. Both UV-induced senescent human dermal fibroblasts and a photoaging mouse model, ABT-263 and ABT-737, demonstrated senolytic effects on senescent fibroblasts. Moreover, we found that several senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors, such as IL-6, CCL5, CCL7, CXCL12, and SCF, induced MMP-1 expression in dermal fibroblasts, which decreased after treatment with ABT-263 and ABT-737 in vivo and in vitro. Both senolytic drugs attenuated the induction of MMPs and decreased collagen density in the photoaging mouse model. Our data suggest that senolytic agents reduce UV-induced photoaging, making strategies for targeting senescent dermal fibroblasts promising options for the treatment of photoaging.

Saponins of Korean Red Ginseng May Protect Human Skin from Adipokine-Associated Inflammation and Pigmentation Resulting from Particulate Matter Exposure. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14040845. [PMID: 35215495 PMCID: PMC8924884 DOI: 10.3390/nu14040845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) is an ever-increasing concern worldwide. Strategies to counter the detrimental effects that follow cutaneous exposure to PM, such as induction of pigmentation, inflammation, and alterations in adipokine profile, need to be investigated further. Korean red ginseng (KRG) extracts and individual ingredients have been demonstrated to play an effective role in suppression of ROS, inflammation, and resultant skin aging. In addition, recent investigations revealed that Rg3 and Rf saponins work as antimelanogenic agents. In this study, we investigated whether saponins of KRG can protect against or reverse the PM-induced detrimental effects. Methods: The biological effects of PM and saponins were evaluated both in vitro and ex vivo. Cell viability and intracellular ROS levels were determined in normal human epidermal melanocytes (NHMs), human epidermal keratinocytes (NHKs), and their cocultures. Experiments to demonstrate the protective properties of saponins against consequences of exposure to PM were performed. Melanin assay, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blotting were carried out to determine the effects on melanogenesis and the implicated molecular signaling pathways. Results: Exposure to PM resulted in decreased keratinocyte viability, which was coupled with augmented oxidative stress. These changes were attenuated by treatment with saponins. PM exposure resulted in increased expression of leptin, which was reduced by saponins. Moreover, PM exposure led to increased melanin production in a coculture model, which was mitigated by treatment with saponins. Treatment with saponins resulted in a decrease in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels after exposure to PM. Conclusion: Saponins of KRG can protect the skin from the harmful effects of PM exposure by reducing levels of ROS, leptin, inflammatory cytokines, and melanin.

Abstract
To date, there are many methods and ways to remove pigmented skin tumors, which have their own indications and contraindications for use, early or late complications.The aim of the study was to determine the level of CCL2 / MCP-1 in the serum of patients with melanocyte skin nevi in the postoperative period with different methods of their removal.Materials and methods of research. The study involved 60 children with melanocyte skin nevi of different localization, who were hospitalized in the pediatric surgery clinic in the period from 2018 to 2020. All patients were divided into 3 groups : I group - the excision of the formation took place with a scalpel, group II - excision of the formation was performed using a high-intensity surgical laser, group III - excision of the formation using a high-frequency electrosurgical device "BOWA-ARC 350.Results and discussion. The results of studies showed an increase in the level of CCL2 / MCP-1 in the plasma of patients of group I in 2,6 times 12 hours after surgery and 3,15 times in 24 hours after surgery. A similar dynamics of increase in the level of CCL2 / MCP-1 in plasma was observed in patients of group II, but was more pronounced. The largest increase in CCL2 / MCP-1 levels was in comparison group III.Conclusions. High levels of CCL2 / MCP-1 in the plasma of patients of groups II and III 12 and 24 hours after surgery convincingly indicate the presence of a pronounced inflammatory reaction under the influence of thermal damaging factor on skin tissues.

Abstract
The development of solar lentigines (SLs) is related to chronic ultraviolet exposure-induced cell senescence. We have previously demonstrated that basal keratinocyte enlargement is a morphological hallmark of skin senescence correlated to the process of skin aging, while clinical studies on the long-term monitoring of the cellular morphological changes in SLs after laser treatment are lacking. In this study, we have developed the harmonic generation microscopy (HGM) for in vivo monitoring the height of basal keratinocytes (HBK) and had administered Q-switched ruby laser or picosecond 532-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment on each side of the face of 25 Asian patients with facial SLs, respectively. In vivo HGM imaging was conducted to longitudinally analyze HBK and the horizontal cell size (HCS). Before treatment, the HBK was significantly higher in the SLs lesional area than that in the adjacent normal region, whereas there was no significant difference in the HCS. After treatment, the lesional HBK remained significantly higher than normal skin regardless of the laser treatment used. Our study indicates that the basal keratinocytes remain abnormal after laser treatment and demonstrates the capability of in vivo HGM for longitudinal, quantitative monitoring of cell senescence and therapeutic effect in SLs.

Abstract
Aging-associated dermatological pigmentary diseases are associated with accumulation of senescence cells and the disruption of basement membrane due to chronic ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Our study is on the synergistic effect of the novel 300 μm needle-depth fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR) treatment and conventional Q-switched ND:YAG laser on aging-associated hyperpigmentation of the skin. The prospective controlled clinical trial of 25 Asian women revealed significantly higher improvements not only on wrinkles, but also on hyperpigmentation. Additional ex vivo study revealed significant reduction of pro-melanogenic markers as well as senescent keratinocytes, while increased expression of collagen type IV on the epidermal basement membrane, after additional FMR treatment on UV-irradiated human tissues. These results demonstrate that 300 μm needle-depth FMR might effectively remove senescent keratinocytes that secrete pro-melanogenic markers, and repair disrupted basement membrane, therefore preventing constant hyperpigmentation of the aged skin.

Abstract
Background The goal of this study is to verify that the loss of speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) promotes the migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells, and that this process is brought about by an increase in MCP-1. Material/Methods SPOP knockout C4-2 cells (C4-2 SPOP−/−) were verified by western blotting. Transwell and wound-healing assays were applied to verify different migration and invasion abilities between the C4-2 SPOP−/− and control cells. We used an antibody array to find different soluble chemokine factors in the C4-2 SPOP−/− cells. ELISA and qRT-PCR were applied for confirmation. To test MCP-1 function in conditioned medium, a transwell assay was applied with or without anti-MCP-1 antibody. Results The western blot showed that SPOP was knocked out in sgSPOP-1 and sgSPOP-2 (different clones of C4-2 SPOP−/−). The transwell and wound-healing assays indicated that, compared with control cells, sgSPOP-1 and sgSPOP-2 had stronger migration and invasion abilities. The antibody array found that the expression of MCP-1 was upregulated in sgSPOP-1 and sgSPOP-2 conditioned medium. This result was verified by ELISA and qRT-PCR. In the prostate cancer cells, migration and invasion activity was greatly increased in C4-2 SPOP−/− conditioned medium, while this activity was decreased after anti-MCP-1 antibody neutralization. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the loss of SPOP in C4-2 cells promotes increased cell migration and invasion abilities. This may be realized by upregulating the expression of MCP-1. The inhibition of MCP-1 expression may be an effective treatment for SPOP-mutant prostate cancer.

Creatine Alleviates Doxorubicin-Induced Liver Damage by Inhibiting Liver Fibrosis, Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cellular Senescence. Nutrients 2020; 13:nu13010041. [PMID: 33374297 PMCID: PMC7824063 DOI: 10.3390/nu13010041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 12/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Treatment with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) may lead to toxicities that affect non-cancer cells including the liver. Supplementing the diet with creatine (Cr) has been suggested as a potential intervention to minimize DOX-induced side effects, but its effect in alleviating DOX-induced hepatoxicity is currently unknown. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effects of Cr supplementation on DOX-induced liver damage. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a diet supplemented with 2% Cr for four weeks, 4% Cr for one week followed by 2% Cr for three more weeks, or control diet for four weeks. Animals then received either a bolus i.p. injection of DOX (15 mg/kg) or saline as a placebo. Animals were then sacrificed five days-post injection and markers of hepatoxicity were analyzed using the liver-to-body weight ratio, aspartate transaminase (AST)-to- alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lipemia, and T-Bilirubin. In addition, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Picro-Sirius Red staining, and immunofluorescence staining for CD45, 8-OHdG, and β-galactosidase were performed to evaluate liver morphology, fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence, respectively. The mRNA levels for biomarkers of liver fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and senescence-related genes were measured in liver tissues. Chromosomal stability was evaluated using global DNA methylation ELISA. Results: The ALT/AST ratio and liver to body weight ratio tended to increase in the DOX group, and Cr supplementation tended to attenuate this increase. Furthermore, elevated levels of liver fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and senescence were observed with DOX treatment, and Cr supplementation prior to DOX treatment ameliorated this hepatoxicity. Moreover, DOX treatment resulted in chromosomal instability (i.e., altered DNA methylation profile), and Cr supplementation showed a tendency to restore chromosomal stability with DOX treatment. Conclusion: The data suggest that Cr protected against DOX-induced hepatotoxicity by attenuating fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and senescence.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:E9665.

Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder that is mainly caused by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 6 (ABCC6) gene. Clinically PXE is characterized by a loss of skin elasticity, arteriosclerosis or visual impairments. It also shares some molecular characteristics with known premature aging syndromes like the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). However, little is known about accelerated aging processes, especially on a cellular level for PXE now. Therefore, this study was performed to reveal a potential connection between premature cellular aging and PXE pathogenesis by analyzing cellular senescence, a corresponding secretory phenotype and relevant factors of the cell cycle control in primary human dermal fibroblasts of PXE patients. Here, we could show an increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity as well as an increased expression of proinflammatory factors of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) like interleukin 6 (IL6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1). We further observed an increased gene expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI) p21, but no simultaneous induction of p53 gene expression. These data indicate that PXE is associated with premature cellular senescence, which is possibly triggered by a p53-independent p21-mediated mechanism leading to a proinflammatory secretory phenotype.

Abstract
Adipokines are the primary mediators of adipose tissue-induced and regulated systemic inflammatory diseases; however, recent findings revealed that serum levels of various adipokines correlate also with the onset and the severity of dermatological diseases. Importantly, further data confirmed that the skin serves not only as a target for adipokine signaling, but may serve as a source too. In this review, we aim to provide a complex overview on how adipokines may integrate into the (patho) physiological conditions of the skin by introducing the cell types, such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and sebocytes, which are known to produce adipokines as well as the signals that target them. Moreover, we discuss data from in vivo and in vitro murine and human studies as well as genetic data on how adipokines may contribute to various aspects of the homeostasis of the skin, e.g., melanogenesis, hair growth, or wound healing, just as to the pathogenesis of dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, rosacea, and melanoma.

Abstract
Muscle regeneration depends on a robust albeit transient inflammatory response. Persistent inflammation is a feature of age-related regenerative deficits, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we find inflammatory-related CC-chemokine-receptor 2 (Ccr2) expression in non-hematopoietic myogenic progenitors (MPs) during regeneration. After injury, the expression of Ccr2 in MPs corresponds to the levels of its ligands, the chemokines Ccl2, 7, and 8. We find stimulation of Ccr2-activity inhibits MP fusion and contribution to myofibers. This occurs in association with increases in MAPKp38δ/γ signaling, MyoD phosphorylation, and repression of the terminal myogenic commitment factor Myogenin. High levels of Ccr2-chemokines are a feature of regenerating aged muscle. Correspondingly, deletion of Ccr2 in MPs is necessary for proper fusion into regenerating aged muscle. Finally, opportune Ccr2 inhibition after injury enhances aged regeneration and functional recovery. These results demonstrate that inflammatory-induced activation of Ccr2 signaling in myogenic cells contributes to aged muscle regenerative decline. Chronic inflammation is a feature of age-related regenerative decline in skeletal muscles, but how it directly affects resident muscle stem cell fate and function is unclear. Here, the authors show that Ccr2 signaling in muscle stem cell derived progenitors represses terminal myogenic differentiation, and that targeting Ccr2 on aged myogenic progenitors rejuvenates aged skeletal muscle healing and function.

Loratadine, an H 1 Antihistamine, Inhibits Melanogenesis in Human Melanocytes. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:5971546.

Abstract
It has long been believed that histamine is associated with cutaneous melanogenesis. Specifically, H2-receptor antagonists reportedly inhibit melanogenesis, but H1-receptor antagonists, which are some of the most commonly prescribed medicines in dermatology, have not been studied to determine whether and how they regulate melanogenesis. Therefore, we screened H1-receptor antagonists to determine whether they inhibit melanogenesis and found that loratadine was particularly effective, in this regard without compromising cellular viability. Loratadine downregulated microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and tyrosinase in melanocytes. To determine the intracellular signaling pathways, Akt was consistently activated by loratadine. PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor, LY294002, restored the reduced melanin content that was induced by loratadine. In addition, phospho-GSK-3β also was found to be increased following loratadine treatment. Loratadine reduced the amount of PKC-βII in the membrane fraction, thereby decreasing its activity. Taken together, our data indicate that loratadine regulates melanogenesis via Akt/MITF and PKC-βII signaling, thereby leading to the inhibition of melanogenic proteins. The antimelanogenic effects of loratadine have potentially significant and useful roles in dermatologic practice, although further clinical studies will be required to test this.

Abstract
AIM Young onset type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM-Y) have been shown to possess an increased risk of developing microvascular complications particularly diabetic retinopathy. However, the molecular mechanisms are not clearly understood. In this study, we investigated the serum levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and cathepsin-D in patients with T2DM-Y without and with diabetic retinopathy. METHODS In this case-control study, participants comprised individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT=40), patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM=35), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR=35) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR=35). Clinical characterization of the study subjects was done by standard procedures and MCP-1 and cathepsin-D were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Compared to control individuals, patients with T2DM-Y, NPDR and PDR exhibited significantly (p<0.001) higher levels of MCP-1. Cathepsin-D levels were also significantly (p<0.001) higher in patients with T2DM-Y without and with diabetic retinopathy. Correlation analysis revealed a positive association (p<0.001) between MCP-1 and cathepsin-D levels. There was also a significant negative correlation of MCP1/cathepsin-D with C-peptide levels. The association of increased levels of MCP-1/cathepsin-D in patients with DR persisted even after adjusting for all the confounding factors. CONCLUSION As both MCP-1 and cathepsin-D are molecular signatures of cellular senescence, we suggest that these biomarkers might be useful to predict the development of retinopathy in T2DM-Y patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the risk factors of Korean patients for postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) during treatment of solar lentigines using a Q-switched 532-nm Nd: YAG (QS 532 NY) laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present retrospective multicenter study was conducted at the dermatology clinics of five tertiary hospitals in Korea. Between October 2007 and January 2013, 516 patients were enrolled and reviewed for clinical features and factors associated with PIH. RESULTS The overall incidence of PIH was 20.3%. We demonstrated that patients with erythematous lentigines presented with PIH more frequently compared with those without erythematous lentigines. Among several coexisting conditions, facial diffuse dyschromia was significantly associated with PIH. Furthermore, PIH occurred more frequently in patients with invisible pores and velvety skin. However, age, sex, Fitzpatrick skin's phototype and season of treatment showed little association with PIH. CONCLUSIONS When a QS 532 NY laser is used to treat individuals with erythematous lentigines, invisible pores and velvety skin, and facial diffuse dyschromia, clinicians should be cautious and consider preventive measures.

Abstract
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), a deoxyribonucleotide polymer, is popularly used for faster healing of cutaneous wounds and boosting of neocollagenesis of photoaged skin among current dermatologic practitioners. Some patients receiving PDRN injection treatment also reported improvement of photoaging-associated mottled pigmentation (PMP). To investigate the effect of PDRN on cutaneous melanogenesis, we examined the effect of PDRN and an available product (Placentex®) containing PDRN on melanogenesis using human melanocytes-keratinocytes cocultures and mouse melanocytes. Melanin content, tyrosinase activity, and levels of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase, and tyrosinase-related protein (TRP-1) were determined. Intracellular signaling pathways were assessed by Western blotting. PDRN and Placentex® led to decreases in melanin content, tyrosinase activity, and MITF and TRP-1 expression with concomitant increases in phosphorylated forms of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and AKT in mouse melanocytes. More importantly, both PDRN and Placentex® significantly suppressed the melanin content in human melanocyte–keratinocyte cocultures. Clinical evaluation of six female patients with facial hyperpigmentation after three sessions of intradermal PDRN injections using a 5-point scale revealed that PDRN led to more than noticeable improvements in hyperpigmented lesions. This is the first study to demonstrate that PDRN, which is known for its wound-healing properties, may have novel anti-melanogenesis and potential skin whitening properties.
