Abstract
Tendon injury and healing involve intricate changes to tissue metabolism, biology, and inflammation. Current techniques often require animal euthanasia or tissue destruction, limiting assessment of dynamic changes in tendon, including treatment response, disease development, rupture risk, and healing progression. Microdialysis, a minimally invasive technique, offers potential for longitudinal assessment, yet it has not been applied to rat tendon models. Therefore, the objective of this study is to adapt a novel application of an in vivo assay, microdialysis, using acute injury as a model for extreme disruption of the tendon homeostasis. We hypothesize that microdialysis will be able to detect measurable differences in the healing responses of acute injury with high specificity and sensitivity. Overall results suggest that microdialysis is a promising in vivo technique for longitudinal assessment for this system with strong correlations between extracellular fluid (ECF) and dialysate concentrations and reasonable recovery rates considering the limitations of this model. Strong positive correlations were found between dialysate and extracellular fluid (ECF) concentration for each target molecule of interest including metabolites, inflammatory mediators, and collagen synthesis and degradation byproducts. These results suggest that microdialysis is capable of detecting changes in tendon healing following acute tendon injury with high specificity and sensitivity. In summary, this is the first study to apply microdialysis to a rat tendon model and assess its efficacy as a direct measurement of tendon metabolism, biology, and inflammation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study adapts a novel application of microdialysis to rat tendon models, offering a minimally invasive avenue for longitudinal tendon assessment. Successfully detecting changes in tendon healing after acute injury, it showcases strong correlations between extracellular fluid and dialysate concentrations. The results highlight the potential of microdialysis as a direct measure of tendon metabolism, biology, and inflammation, bypassing the need for animal euthanasia and tissue destruction.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314802.

Abstract
Human skin is composed of three layers, of which the dermis is composed of an extracellular matrix (ECM) comprising collagen, elastin, and other proteins. These proteins are reduced due to skin aging caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Among various internal and external factors related to aging, ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main cause of photoaging of the skin. UV radiation stimulates DNA damage, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and pro-inflammatory cytokine production such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and promotes ECM degradation. Stimulation with ROS and TNF-α upregulates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factors that induce the expression of the collagenase matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1). Moreover, TNF-α induces intracellular ROS production and several molecular pathways. Skin aging progresses through various processes and can be prevented through ROS generation and TNF-α inhibition. In our previous study, 2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (GDHBA) was isolated from the Morus alba (mulberry) fruits and its inhibitory effect on MMP-1 secretion was revealed. In this study, we focused on the effect of GDHBA on TNF-α-induced human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). GDHBA (50 μM) inhibited ROS generation (18.8%) and decreased NO (58.4%) and PGE2 levels (53.8%), significantly. Moreover, it decreased MMP-1 secretion (55.3%) and increased pro-collagen type I secretion (207.7%). GDHBA (50 μM) decreased the expression of different MAPKs as per western blotting; p-38: 35.9%; ERK: 47.9%; JNK: 49.5%; c-Jun: 32.1%; NF-κB: 55.9%; and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2): 31%. This study elucidated a novel role of GDHBA in protecting against skin inflammation and damage through external stimuli, such as UV radiation.

Abstract
The skin is an organ involved in several biological processes essential to the proper functioning of the organism. One of these essential biological functions of the skin is its barrier function, mediated notably by the lipids of the stratum corneum, and which prevents both penetration from external aggression, and transepidermal water loss. Bioactive lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) constitute a complex bioactive lipid network greatly involved in skin homeostasis. Bioactive lipid mediators derived from n-3 and n-6 PUFAs have well-documented anti- and pro-inflammatory properties and are recognized as playing numerous and complex roles in the behavior of diverse skin diseases, including psoriasis. Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease with many comorbidities and is associated with enhanced levels of pro-inflammatory lipid mediators. Studies have shown that a high intake of n-3 PUFAs can influence the development and progression of psoriasis, mainly by reducing the severity and frequency of psoriatic plaques. Herein, we provide an overview of the differential effects of n-3 and n-6 PUFA lipid mediators, including prostanoids, hydroxy-fatty acids, leukotrienes, specialized pro-resolving mediators, N-acylethanolamines, monoacylglycerols and endocannabinoids. This review summarizes current findings on lipid mediators playing a role in the skin and their potential as therapeutic targets for psoriatic patients.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health issue worldwide since it is associated with the development of chronic comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias, atherosclerosis, some cancer forms and skin diseases, including psoriasis. Scientific evidence has indicated that the possible link between obesity and psoriasis may be multifactorial, highlighting dietary habits, lifestyle, certain genetic factors and the microbiome as leading factors in the progress of both pathologies because they are associated with a chronic pro-inflammatory state. Thus, inflammation management in obesity is a plausible target for psoriasis, not only because of the sick adipose tissue secretome profile but also due to the relationship of obesity with the rest of the immune derangements associated with psoriasis initiation and maintenance. Hence, this review will provide a general and molecular overview of the relationship between both pathologies and present recent therapeutic advances in treating this problem.

Remodeling of the Dermal Extracellular Matrix in a Tissue-Engineered Psoriatic Skin Model by n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10051078. [PMID: 35625817 PMCID: PMC9138383 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10051078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease mainly associated with an epidermal disorder. However, the involvement of the dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) composition in psoriasis is still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the expression of ECM components in psoriatic skin substitutes (PS−) compared with healthy skin substitutes (HS−), as well as the effect of an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, namely α-linolenic acid (ALA), on the psoriatic dermal compartment (PSALA+). Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the lipidome of PS− contained higher amounts of n-6 derived prostaglandins (PGE2) and lipoxygenase products (9-HODE and 15-HETE). ALA supplementation increased the levels of PGE3, 13-HOTrE, 15-HEPE, and 18-HEPE, and decreased the levels of PGE2, 15-HETE, and 9-HOPE compared with PS−, indicating that ALA modulates the dermal lipidome of psoriatic skin substitutes. Gene expression profiling showed that several genes encoding for different ECM proteins were overexpressed in PS− compared with HS−, namely COL1A1 (4.2-fold), COL1A2 (3-fold), COL3A1 (4.4-fold), COL4A1 (2.3-fold), COL4A2 (6.3-fold), COL5A1 (3.3-fold), COL5A2 (5.2-fold), and COL5A3 (4.6-fold). Moreover, the expression of collagen IV (Col IV), collagen VII (Col VII), and laminin was found to be increased in PS− compared with HS−, and to be restored with ALA (PSALA+) according to immunofluorescence staining, while only the collagen I to collagen III ratio was altered according to dot blot analyses. Linear regression analysis revealed several positive correlations, including Col III with 14-HDHA levels, fibronectin with 12-HETE and 15-HETE levels, the dermo-epidermal junction Col IV with PGF2α, 9-HODE, and 13-HODE levels, and laminin with levels of PGF2α, 9-HODE, 13-HODE, 5-HETE, 12-HETE, and 15-HETE. These results suggest that the ECM plays an underestimated role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and that ALA supplementation can regulate the ECM composition.

Abstract
Objective Skin ageing is a multifactorial process involving formation of reactive oxygen species, consecutive inflammation with reduced epidermal and dermal cell viability and resulting damage to the extracellular matrix. Effective dermocosmetic treatment modalities should ideally address these hallmarks in a holistic approach. Here, we determined the corresponding activity profile of bakuchiol, a plant‐derived meroterpene, in an array of in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies and compared it to retinol, currently considered as gold standard in topical antiageing cosmetics. Methods The antioxidative capacity and power of bakuchiol and retinol were analysed by measuring 2,2′‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reduction via its absorption decay and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, respectively. Effects on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7), collagen type I and VII (COL1A1, COL7A1), fibronectin (FN) levels as well as the metabolization of water‐soluble tetrazolium 1 (WST‐1) were determined in human dermal fibroblasts. Epidermal regeneration was assessed utilizing an in vitro wound healing model. FN protein levels were analysed ex vivo after treatment with a formulation containing bakuchiol, retinol or vehicle using suction blister fluid. Skin condition improvement was determined in vivo in a split‐face comparison study after application of bakuchiol or vehicle. Results In contrast to retinol, bakuchiol demonstrated high antioxidative efficacy. Levels of PGE2 and MIF were significantly decreased by both bakuchiol and retinol. Bakuchiol but not retinol significantly increased FGF7 protein levels. WST‐1 metabolization levels were significantly augmented by bakuchiol and retinol. Bakuchiol and retinol application led to a significant augmentation of COL1A1, COL7A1 and FN protein levels. Wounds supplemented with bakuchiol but not retinol displayed a significant increase in epidermis regeneration. Clinically, areas treated with a bakuchiol‐containing formulation showed a statistically significant increase in FN protein values after a 4‐week application compared to untreated areas and areas treated with vehicle. Conclusion These data provide evidence for the multidirectional efficacy of bakuchiol against cellular hallmarks of skin ageing. Its activity profile shares some common features with retinol but demonstrates several hitherto unknown biopositive effects in our studies, namely stimulation of the critical extracellular matrix component FN, and accelerated epidermal regeneration and wound healing.

Improvement of Damage in Human Dermal Fibroblasts by 3,5,7-Trimethoxyflavone from Black Ginger ( Kaempferia parviflora). Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11020425. [PMID: 35204307 PMCID: PMC8869600 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during intrinsic (chronological aging) and extrinsic (photoaging) skin aging. Therefore, antioxidants that inhibit ROS production may be involved in delaying skin aging. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of compounds isolated from black ginger, Kaempferia parviflora, a traditional medicinal plant, on normal human dermal fibroblasts in the context of inflammation and oxidative stress. The isolated compounds were structurally characterized as 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (1), 3,7-dimethoxy-5-hydroxyflavone (2), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3,4-tetramethoxyflavone (3), 7,4-dimethylapigenin (4), 3,7,4-trimethylkaempferol (5), and 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone (6), using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analyses. These flavonoids were first evaluated for their ability to suppress extracellular matrix degradation in normal human dermal fibroblasts. Of these, 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone (6) significantly inhibited the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced high expression and secretion of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 by cells. We further found that 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone suppressed the excessive increase in ROS, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), Akt, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)and increased heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, was also suppressed by 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone (6). Taken together, our results indicate that 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone (6) isolated from K. parviflora is a potential candidate for ameliorating skin damage.

Abstract
Similar to other organs, the skin undergoes a natural aging process. Moreover, constant direct exposure to environmental stresses, including ultraviolet irradiation, causes the signs of skin aging to appear rather early. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory responses accelerate skin damage in extrinsic aging. In this study, we aimed to investigate the skin protective effects of polymethoxyflavones found in Kaempferia parviflora against oxidative stress and inflammation-induced damage in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The experimental data identified 5,7,4' trimethoxyflavone (TMF) as the most potent constituent in preventing TNF-α-induced HDF damage among the tested compounds and it was not only effective in inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) production but also in stimulating collagen, type I, and alpha 1 (COLIA1) expression. TMF suppressed TNF-α-stimulated generation of ROS and pro-inflammatory mediators, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in HDFs. TMF also inhibited the pathways regulating fibroblast damage, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), activator protein 1 (AP-1), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). In conclusion, TMF may be a potential agent for preventing skin aging and other dermatological disorders associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Photoaging is a complex and multistage process triggered mainly by ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to exposure to sunlight. Photoaging induces DNA damage and oxidative stress that initiate an inflammatory response and an increase of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression, which results in cumulative changes in skin appearance, structure, and functions, and eventually causes skin carcinogenesis. Dietary polysaccharides from bio-resources have been utilized as functional ingredients in healthy food, cosmetics, and drug due to their good bioactivities. However, a systematic introduction to their effects and underlying mechanisms in anti-photoaging is limited. This review discusses the damage and pathogenesis of UV-induced photoaging and summarizes the up-to-date advances in research on the anti-photoaging activity of non-starch polysaccharides from natural edible resources considering the influence of oxidative stress, DNA damage, MMPs regulation, inflammation, and melanogenesis, primarily focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms. This paper will help to understand the anti-photoaging functions of dietary non-starch polysaccharides from natural resources and further application in drug and functional food.

Abstract
Studies concerning the role of arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites in kidney disease are scarce, and this applies in particular to idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). INS is one of the most frequent glomerular diseases in childhood; it is characterized by T-lymphocyte dysfunction, alterations of pro- and anti-coagulant factor levels, and increased platelet count and aggregation, leading to thrombophilia. AA and its metabolites are involved in several biological processes. Herein, we describe the main fields where they may play a significant role, particularly as it pertains to their effects on the kidney and the mechanisms underlying INS. AA and its metabolites influence cell membrane fluidity and permeability, modulate platelet activity and coagulation, regulate lymphocyte activity and inflammation, preserve the permeability of the glomerular barrier, influence podocyte physiology, and play a role in renal fibrosis. We also provide suggestions regarding dietary measures that are able to prevent an imbalance between arachidonic acid and its parental compound linoleic acid, in order to counteract the inflammatory state which characterizes numerous kidney diseases. On this basis, studies of AA in kidney disease appear as an important field to explore, with possible relevant results at the biological, dietary, and pharmacological level, in the final perspective for AA to modulate INS clinical manifestations.

Front Physiol 2020; 11:561722.

Abstract
Sodium (Na+) can accumulate in the skin tissue, sequestered by negatively charged glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). During dietary salt overload, the amount and charge density of dermal GAG molecules - e.g., hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) - increases; however, the regulation of the process is unknown. Previously, it has been demonstrated that the level of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity and the content of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are elevated in the skin due to high-salt consumption. A link between the COX-2/PGE2 system and GAG synthesis was also suggested. We hypothesized that in dermal fibroblasts (DFs) high-sodium concentration activates the COX-2/PGE2 pathway and also that PGE2 increases the production of HA. Our further aim was to demonstrate that the elevation of the GAG content is ceased by COX-2 inhibition in a salt overloaded animal model. For this, we investigated the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of COX-2 and HA synthase 2 enzymes as well as the PGE2 and HA production of DFs by real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and ELISA, respectively. The results showed that both high-sodium concentration and PGE2 treatment increases HA content of the media. Sodium excess activates the COX-2/PGE2 pathway in DFs, and COX-2 inhibition decreases the synthesis of HA. In the animal experiment, the HA- and CS disaccharide content in the skin of male Wistar rats was measured using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). In the skin of rats receiving high-salt diet, the content of both HA- and monosulfated-CS disaccharides increased, whereas COX-2 inhibition blocked this overproduction. In conclusion, high-salt environment could induce GAG production of DFs in a COX-2/PGE2-dependent manner. Moreover, the COX-2 inhibition resulted in a decreased skin GAG content of the salt overloaded rats. These data revealed a new DF-mediated regulation of GAG synthesis in the skin during salt overload.

Abstract
Our own studies and those of others have shown that defects in essential fatty acid (EFA) metabolism occurs in age-related disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, immune dysfunction and cancer. It has been noted that in all these disorders there could occur a defect in the activities of desaturases, cyclo-oxygenase (COX), and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes leading to a decrease in the formation of their long-chain products gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This leads to an increase in the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), thromboxanes (TXs), and leukotrienes (LTs) and a decrease in anti-inflammatory lipoxin A4, resolvins, protectins and maresins. All these bioactive molecules are termed as bioactive lipids (BALs). This imbalance in the metabolites of EFAs leads to low-grade systemic inflammation and at times acute inflammatory events at specific local sites that trigger the development of various age-related disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, and immune dysfunction as seen in rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, nephritis and other localized inflammatory conditions. This evidence implies that methods designed to restore BALs to normal can prevent age-related disorders and enhance longevity and health.
