[PMID: 38732212 PMCID: PMC11084488 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094994] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The skin wound healing process consists of hemostatic, inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation phases, with a complex cellular response by multiple cell types in the epidermis, dermis, and immune system. Magnesium is a mineral essential for life, and although magnesium treatment promotes cutaneous wound healing, the molecular mechanism and timing of action of the healing process are unknown. This study, using human epidermal-derived HaCaT cells and human normal epidermal keratinocyte cells, was performed to investigate the mechanism involved in the effect of magnesium on wound healing. The expression levels of epidermal differentiation-promoting factors were reduced by MgCl2, suggesting an inhibitory effect on epidermal differentiation in the remodeling stage of the late wound healing process. On the other hand, MgCl2 treatment increased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7), a cell migration-promoting factor, and enhanced cell migration via the MEK/ERK pathway activation. The enhancement of cell migration by MgCl2 was inhibited by MMP7 knockdown, suggesting that MgCl2 enhances cell migration which is mediated by increased MMP7 expression. Our results revealed that MgCl2 inhibits epidermal differentiation but promotes cell migration, suggesting that applying magnesium to the early wound healing process could be beneficial.

[PMID: 37620401 PMCID: PMC10449934 DOI: 10.1038/s42003-023-05247-6] [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: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are harmful for the human body, and exposure to ultraviolet irradiation triggers ROS generation. Previous studies have demonstrated that ROS decrease mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and that Mg2+ protects mitochondria from oxidative stress. Therefore, we visualized the spatio-temporal dynamics of Mg2+ in keratinocytes (a skin component) in response to H2O2 (a type of ROS) and found that it increased cytosolic Mg2+ levels. H2O2-induced responses in both Mg2+ and ATP were larger in keratinocytes derived from adults than in keratinocytes derived from newborns, and inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthesis enhanced the H2O2-induced Mg2+ response, indicating that a major source of Mg2+ was dissociation from ATP. Simultaneous imaging of Mg2+ and MMP revealed that larger Mg2+ responses corresponded to lower decreases in MMP in response to H2O2. Moreover, Mg2+ supplementation attenuated H2O2-induced cell death. These suggest the potential of Mg2+ as an active ingredient to protect skin from oxidative stress.

Anti-skin aging activity of eggshell membrane administration and its underlying mechanism. Mol Cell Toxicol 2022.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is active research on developing materials for improving skin function. Eggshell membrane (ESM) is one such raw material that is consumed as a functional food to support skin health. However, studies on the mechanism of improvement of skin function on ingestion of ESM are still lacking.
Objectives
To explore this mechanism of action, we conducted an ultraviolet (UV) irradiation study on a SKH-1 hairless mouse model. Feeding ESM was found to improve skin moisture and reduce wrinkles during 12 weeks of UVB irradiation.
Results
Oral administration of ESM restored moisture in the dorsal skin tissue of mice. In addition, oral ingestion of ESM also reversed the increased transepidermal water loss and reduction of mRNA expression of hyaluronic synthases induced by UVB irradiation. Furthermore, UVB irradiation-induced collagen degradation was inhibited, and the expression of the collagenase MMP was reduced in the ESM intake group compared to the control. These results confirmed that oral ingestion of the ESM has an anti-wrinkle effect. In addition, the mRNA expression of the antioxidant enzyme SOD1, which was reduced on UVB irradiation, was restored on ingestion of the ESM. Restoring the expression of antioxidant enzymes is a key strategy for improving skin function of the ESM.
Conclusion
Taken together, the findings from our study reveal the potential of ESM as a nutricosmetic material with anti-wrinkle and skin moisturizing properties.

Abstract
Microneedling is a common cosmetic procedure for improvement of wrinkles, acne, scars, and other conditions. Various microneedle (MN) patches have been developed as home care therapy for wrinkles and skin texture. Most of them are made of soluble and absorbable needles. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of non‐absorbable magnesium (Mg) MN patches on under‐eye wrinkles. A total of 20 subjects aged 27–58 years was enrolled in the study. The subjects applied Mg MN patches on the under‐eye wrinkle area for 1–2 h every other night for 12 weeks. The evaluation comprised grading by clinicians, measuring the wrinkle index with a facial analyzer, and measuring the dermal thickness of the under‐eye area with ultrasonography. Any adverse events and discomfort were addressed during the study. The application of Mg MN patches on under‐eye areas showed improvements in under‐eye grading scale, wrinkle index, and dermal thickness after 12 weeks. The mean grading scale significantly improved after 8 weeks of application (p < 0.01). The wrinkle index showed significant improvement after 12 weeks on the right under‐eye area (p < 0.05). The dermal thickness of the under‐eye area tended to increase, but no statistically significant changes were observed. Non‐absorbable Mg MN patches can be used for under‐eye wrinkles with minimal discomfort.

Magnesium Supplementation Attenuates Ultraviolet-B-Induced Damage Mediated through Elevation of Polyamine Production in Human HaCaT Keratinocytes. Cells 2022; 11:cells11152268. [PMID: 35892565 PMCID: PMC9332241 DOI: 10.3390/cells11152268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Magnesium ions (Mg2+) have favorable effects such as the improvement of barrier function and the reduction of inflammation reaction in inflammatory skin diseases. However, its mechanisms have not been fully understood. Microarray analysis has shown that the gene expressions of polyamine synthases are upregulated by MgCl2 supplementation in human HaCaT keratinocytes. Here, we investigated the mechanism and function of polyamine production. The mRNA and protein levels of polyamine synthases were dose-dependently increased by MgCl2 supplementation, which were inhibited by U0126, a MEK inhibitor; CHIR-99021, a glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibitor; and Naphthol AS-E, a cyclic AMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) inhibitor. Similarly, reporter activities of polyamine synthases were suppressed by these inhibitors, suggesting that MEK, GSK3, and CREB are involved in the transcriptional regulation of polyamine synthases. Cell viability was reduced by ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure, which was rescued by MgCl2 supplementation. The UVB-induced elevation of reactive oxygen species was attenuated by MgCl2 supplementation, which was inhibited by cysteamine, a polyamine synthase inhibitor. Our data indicate that the expression levels of polyamine synthases are upregulated by MgCl2 supplementation mediated through the activation of the MEK/GSK3/CREB pathway. MgCl2 supplementation may be useful in reducing the UVB-induced oxidative stress in the skin.
