Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic skin disease involving inflammation of the pilosebaceous units. Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) hypercolonization is one pathogenic factor for AV. P. acnes that triggers interleukin-1β (IL-1β) by activating the pyrin domain-containing 3 protein (NLRP3) inflammasome of the NOD-like receptor family in human monocytes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) acts as a trigger for the production of IL-8 and activates theNLRP3 inflammasome. IL-8 promotes the metastasis and multiplication of different cancerous cells, whereas keratinocyte proliferation and migration contribute to the progression of AV. A steroidal saponin called polyphyllin I (PPI) that is extracted from Paris polyphylla’s rhizomes has anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigates the regulatory role of P. acnes in the secretion of IL-8 mediated by the CD36/NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1)/ROS/NLRP3/IL-1β pathway and the effects of PPI on the CD36/NOX1/ROS/NLRP3/IL-1β/IL-8 pathway and human keratinocyte proliferation and migration. HaCaT cells were cultured and stimulated with 108 CFU/ml of P. acnes for 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 hours. P. acnes induced IL-8 secretion from HaCaT cells via the CD36/NOX1/ROS/NLRP3/IL-1β pathway. PPI inhibited the CD36/NLRP3/NOX1/ROS/IL-8/IL-1β pathway and HaCaT cell proliferation and migration. PPI alleviates P. acnes-induced inflammatory responses and human keratinocyte proliferation and migration, implying a novel potential therapy for AV.

The delayed and impaired wound healing caused by dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly reported. Puerarin, the major isoflavone found in Pueraria montana var. lobata (Willd.) Sanjappa & Pradeep promoted the wound healing process in diabetic rats. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of puerarin on DEX-impaired wound healing have not been investigated. This study examined the potential uses of puerarin in upregulating keratinocyte proliferation and migration in dexamethasone (DEX)-suppressed wound healing model. The effects of puerarin on wound healing in vivo were investigated by taking full-thickness 5 mm punch biopsies from the dorsal skin of BALB/c mice and then treating them topically with 0.1% DEX. For the in vitro study, DEX-treated HaCaT cells were used to examine the effects of puerarin on DEX-induced keratinocyte proliferation and migration and the mechanisms of its action. Puerarin, when applied topically, accelerated the wound closure rate, increased the density of the capillaries, and upregulated the level of collagen fibers and TGF-β in the wound sites compared to the DEX-treated mice. Puerarin promoted the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes by activating the ERK and Akt signaling pathways in DEX-treated HaCaT cells. In conclusion, puerarin could be effective in reversing delayed and disrupted wound healing associated with DEX treatments.

Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a common disorder of human skin involving the sebaceous gland and Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). Although there are a number of treatments suggested for acne, many of them have limitations in their safety and have efficacy issues. Therefore, there is a high demand to develop safe and effective novel acne treatments. In the present study, we demonstrate the protective effects of Rosa davurica Pall. leaves (RDL) extract against P. acnes-induced inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that RDL dose-dependently inhibited the growth of skin bacteria, including P. acnes (KCTC3314) and aerobic Staphylococcus aureus (KCTC1621) or Staphylococcus epidermidis (KCTC1917). The downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines by RDL appears to be mediated by blocking the phosphorylations of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and subsequent nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways in P. acnes-stimulated HaCaT cells. In a mouse model of acne vulgaris, histopathological changes were examined in the P. acnes-induced mouse ear edema. The concomitant intradermal injection of RDL resulted in the reduction of ear swelling in mice along with microabscess but exerted no cytotoxic effects for skin cells. Instrumental analysis demonstrated there were seven major components in the RDL extract, and they seemed to have important roles in the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects of RDL. Conclusively, our present work showed for the first time that RDL has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects against P. acnes, suggesting RDL as a promising novel strategy for the treatment of acne, including natural additives in anti-acne cosmetics or pharmaceutical products.

Chemically modified non-antimicrobial tetracycline derivatives and other low-molecular-weight synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors inhibited keratinocyte migration. Since 72-kDa gelatinase-A (MMP-2) was the major gelatinase in our culture conditions, the results suggest that this MMP may be important in the regulation of keratinocyte mobility. On the other hand, we measured only gelatinase activities (MMP-2 and -9) present in culture medium, and therefore the results do not reveal how the inhibitors affect other MMPs as well as MMP levels close to the cell membranes. Overall, CMTs were found to be efficient in the inhibition of keratinocyte migration.

Purpose: To determine the effect of miR-485-5p on keratinocyte proliferation and migration.Methods: Human primary keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were treated with different concentrations of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF)-β1. miR-485-5p expression levels were determined using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) and wound healing assays were performed to investigate the regulatory effects of miR-485-5p on cell viability and migration of HaCaT cells. Downstream target gene expression of miR-485-5p was determined using a luciferase activity assay.Results: In HaCaT cells, miR-485-5p was time- and dose-dependently downregulated by TGF-β1 treatment (p < 0.05). Forced expression of miR-485-5p decreased cell viability and migration of HaCaT cells (p < 0.05). Knockdown of miR-485-5p enhanced HaCaT cell viability and migration. Integrin subunit alpha-5 (ITGA5) was predicted and verified to be a downstream target of miR-485-5p in HaCaT cells. Overexpression of ITGA5 attenuated the miR-485-5p-induced decrease of HaCaT cell viability and migration (p < 0.05).Conclusion: MiR-485-5p reduces cell proliferation and migration of keratinocytes through the regulation of ITGA5. This mechanism provides a potential therapeutic strategy for skin wound healing. Keywords: ITGA5, Keratinocyte, Cell migration, MiR-485-5p, Cell proliferation, Wound healing

Acne vulgaris (acne) is a common inflammatory skin disorder, and Propionibacterium acnes plays a major role in the development and progression of acne inflammation. Herbs possessing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity have been applied as a medical option for centuries. In this study, we examined the suppressive effect of ethanolic oregano (Origanum vulgare) extract on live P. acnes-induced in vivo and in vitro inflammation. Following ethanol extraction of oregano leaves, four compounds with strong antioxidant activity, including rosmarinic acid, quercetin, apigenin, and carvacrol, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Using the mouse ear edema model, we demonstrated that ethanol oregano extracts (EOE) significantly suppressed P. acnes-induced skin inflammation, as measured by ear thickness (32%) and biopsy weight (37%). In a separate study, using the co-culture of P. acnes and human THP-1 monocytes, EOE reduced the production of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α up to 40%, 37%, and 18%, respectively, as well as the expression of these three pro-inflammatory mediators at the transcriptional level. Furthermore, EOE inhibited the translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) into the nucleus possibly by inactivating toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2). The suppressive effect of EOE on live P. acnes-induced inflammatory responses could be due, in part, to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but not the anti-microbial effect of EOE.

The NF-κB family of transcription factors is a well-established regulator of the immune and inflammatory responses and also plays a key role in other cellular processes, including cell death, proliferation, and migration. Conserved residues in the trans-activation domain of RelA, which can be posttranslationally modified, regulate divergent NF-κB functions in response to different cellular stimuli. Using rela−/−mouse embryonic fibroblasts reconstituted with RelA, we find that mutation of the threonine 505 (T505) phospho site to alanine has wide-ranging effects on NF-κB function. These include previously described effects on chemotherapeutic drug-induced apoptosis, as well as new roles for this modification in autophagy, cell proliferation, and migration. This last effect was associated with alterations in the actin cytoskeleton and expression of cellular migration–associated genes such as WAVE3 and α-actinin 4. We also define a new component of cisplatin-induced, RelA T505–dependent apoptosis, involving induction of NOXA gene expression, an effect explained at least in part through induction of the p53 homologue, p73. Therefore, in contrast to other RelA phosphorylation events, which positively regulate NF-κB function, we identified RelA T505 phosphorylation as a negative regulator of its ability to induce diverse cellular processes such as apoptosis, autophagy, proliferation, and migration.
