The efficacy of wheat extract oil (WEO), standardized to glucosylceramides, for protecting against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced damage of skin barrier function was assessed using the SHK-1 hairless mouse model and two human skin cell lines, namely, CCD-986sk and HeCaT. The ability of repeated oral administration of 30, 60, and 120 mg of WEO/kg/day for 12 weeks to prevent skin damage of SKH-1 hairless mice induced by UVB irradiation was evaluated. The results demonstrated that UVB-induced water evaporation (transepidermal water loss, TEWL) was significantly decreased by WEO. Similarly, UVB-induced losses in moisture and skin elasticity were improved by WEO supplementation. WEO attenuated the tissue procollagen type I, hyaluronic acid (HA), and ceramide reductions induced by UVB treatment as well. Collagen concentrations in skin tissue were increased in the WEO-treated mice, while UVB-induced epidermal thickening was reduced. In vitro studies using HeCaT human keratinocytes confirmed increased HA and collagen synthesis in response to WEO treatment. This may occur via WEO suppression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), since its induction by UVB treatment was diminished in treated CCD-986sk cells. Oral administration of WEO improves skin barrier function in UVB-irradiated mice by attenuating damage typically observed in photoaging. This research further clarifies the clinical benefits previously observed by dietary WEO consumption.

Abstract Objectives The efficacy of wheat extract oil (WEO), standardized to glucosylceramides, for protecting against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced damage of skin barrier function was assessed using the SHK-1 hairless mouse model and two human skin cell lines, namely, CCD-986sk and HeCaT. Methods The ability for repeated oral administration of 30, 60, and 120 mg of WEO/kg/day for 12 weeks to prevent skin damage of SKH-1 hairless mice induced by UVB irradiation was evaluated. To complement this work, and better understand the mechanism(s) through which this dietary ingredient works, changes in procollagen, hyaluronic acid (HA) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) levels were assessed in response to UVB treatment in the presence and absence of WEO. Results The results demonstrated that UVB-induced water evaporation (transepidermal water loss, TEWL) was significantly decreased by WEO. Similarly, UVB-induced losses in moisture and skin elasticity were improved by WEO supplementation. WEO attenuated the tissue procollagen type I, HA, and ceramide reductions induced by UVB treatment as well. Collagen concentrations in skin tissue were increased in the WEO-treated mice, while UVB-induced epidermal thickening was reduced. In vitro studies using HeCaT human keratinocytes confirmed increased HA and collagen synthesis in response to WEO treatment. This may occur via WEO suppression of MMP-1, since its induction by UVB treatment was diminished in treated CCD-986sk cells. Conclusions Oral administration of WEO improves skin barrier function in UVB-irradiated mice by attenuating damage typically observed in photoaging. This research further clarifies the clinical benefits previously observed by dietary WEO consumption.

Alterations of skin barrier function affect quality of life and there is a need to develop dermatological/cosmetic treatments to reinforce or restore it. Inspiring of Hailey-Hailey disease, in which barrier alteration is due to a mutation of a Calcium-transporting protein (ATP2C1), we focused on the role of minerals and more especially those contained in Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc (SGMB) spring water to reinforce barrier function. Objectives: Demonstrate the interest to enrich SGMB spring water with manganese to improve both keratinocytes differentiation and barrier function. Methods: Effects of treatments on the expression of ATP2C1 and on the expression of key markers in keratinocyte differentiation and barrier function were studied by gene expression analysis on keratinocytes monolayers and also by measuring the protein expression of transglutaminase 1 using in situ immunofluorescence and image analysis in keratinocytes monolayers. Results: SGMB spring water stimulates transcriptomic expression of key markers involved in keratinocytes differentiation and barrier function while manganese gluconate has no effect. Combination of both dramatically enhances keratinocytes differentiation, in a synergistic way, at both transcriptomic and protein level. None of treatments modulated ATP2C1 expression. Conclusion: These results highlight the interest to enrich SGMB spring water with manganese to boost keratinocytes differentiation and barrier function.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease. AD is typically characterized by skewed T helper (Th) 2 inflammation, yet other inflammatory profiles (Th1, Th17, Th22) have been observed in human patients. How cytokines from these different Th subsets impact barrier function in this disease is not well understood. As such, we investigated the impact of the canonical Th17 cytokine, IL-17A, on barrier function and protein composition in primary human keratinocytes and human skin explants. These studies demonstrated that IL-17A enhanced tight junction formation and function in both systems, with a dependence on STAT3 signaling. Importantly, the Th2 cytokine, IL-4 inhibited the barrier-enhancing effect of IL-17A treatment. These observations propose that IL-17A helps to restore skin barrier function, but this action is antagonized by Th2 cytokines. This suggests that restoration of IL-17/IL-4 ratio in the skin of AD patients may improve barrier function and in so doing improve disease severity.
