Abstract
Skin is the ultimate barrier between body and environment and prevents water loss and penetration of pathogens and toxins. Internal and external stressors, such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR), can damage skin integrity and lead to disorders. Therefore, skin health and skin ageing are important concerns and increased research from cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors aims to improve skin conditions and provide new anti-ageing treatments. Biomolecules, compared to low molecular weight drugs and cosmetic ingredients, can offer high levels of specificity. Topically applied enzymes have been investigated to treat the adverse effects of sunlight, pollution and other external agents. Enzymes, with a diverse range of targets, present potential for dermatological use such as antioxidant enzymes, proteases and repairing enzymes. In this review, we discuss enzymes for dermatological applications and the challenges associated in this growing field.

Abstract
Cancer is a progressive disease of multi-factorial origin that has risen worldwide, probably due to changes in lifestyle, food intake, and environmental changes as some of the reasons. Skin cancer can be classified into melanomas from melanocytes and nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) from the epidermally-derived cell. Together it constitutes about 95% of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) are creditworthy of 99% of NMSC due to the limited accessibility of conventional formulations in skin cancer cells of having multiple obstacles in treatment reply to this therapeutic regime. Despite this, it often encounters erratic bioavailability and absorption to the target. Nanoparticles developed through nanotechnology platforms could be the better topical skin cancer therapy option. To improve the topical delivery, the nano-sized delivery system is appropriate as it fuses with the cutaneous layer and fluidized membrane; thus, the deeper penetration of therapeutics could be possible to reach the target spot. This review briefly outlooks the various nanoparticle preparations, i.e., liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, transferosomes, transethosomes, nanoemulsions, and nanoparticles technologies tested into skin cancer and impede their progress tend to concentrate in the skin layers. Nanocarriers have proved that they can considerably boost medication bioavailability, lowering the frequency of dosage and reducing the toxicity associated with high doses of the medication.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Tumorigenesis and progression are accompanied by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and adaptive elevation of antioxidant expression levels. Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are among the most important antioxidants and are widely distributed in a variety of cancers. PRDXs are involved in the regulation of a variety of tumor cell phenotypes, such as invasion, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness. PRDXs are also associated with tumor cell resistance to cell death, such as apoptosis and ferroptosis. In addition, PRDXs are involved in the transduction of hypoxic signals in the TME and in the regulation of the function of other cellular components of the TME, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages. This implies that PRDXs are promising targets for cancer treatment. Of course, further studies are needed to realize the clinical application of targeting PRDXs. In this review, we highlight the role of PRDXs in cancer, summarizing the basic features of PRDXs, their association with tumorigenesis, their expression and function in cancer, and their relationship with cancer therapeutic resistance.

Abstract
Chronic skin inflammatory diseases are associated with abnormal immune responses characterized by skin barrier dysfunction. Keratinocytes participate in immune homeostasis regulated by immune cells. Immune homeostasis dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of skin diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which are produced by activated keratinocytes. 12(S)-Hydroxy eicosatetraenoic acid [12(S)-HETE], an arachidonic acid metabolite, has anti-inflammatory properties. However, the role of 12(S)-HETE in chronic skin inflammatory diseases has not been elucidated yet. In this study, we investigated the effect of 12(S)-HETE on TNF-α/interferon (IFN)-γ-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression. Our data showed that 12(S)-HETE modulates TNF-α mRNA and protein expression in TNF-α-/IFN-γ-treated human keratinocytes. Molecular docking analyses demonstrated that 12(S)-HETE bound to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, thus preventing ERK activation and downregulating phosphorylated ERK expression. We also demonstrated that 12(S)-HETE treatment inhibited IκB and ERK phosphorylation and nuclear factor (NF)-κB, p65/p50, and CCAAT/enhancerbindingproteinβ (C/EBPβ) translocation. Overall, our results showed that 12(S)-HETE attenuated TNF-α expression and secretion by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK/NF-κB and C/EBPβ signaling pathways. Overall, these results suggest that 12(S)-HETE effectively resolved TNF-α-induced inflammation.

Exploration of the Protective Mechanism of Bax Removal against Ischemia Reperfusion Injury of Skin Flap through the p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:1175078. [PMID: 36299606 PMCID: PMC9592197 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1175078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
This research is aimed at exploring the influences of the Bax gene in the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and its protective mechanism against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of skin flap. Forty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were equally divided into the experimental group (Bax gene knockout rats) and control group. The dorsal flap model was prepared, and the survival rate of flap was observed after surgery. The rat flap tissue was cut and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The distribution characteristics of p38MAPK and Bax were detected to evaluate the protective mechanism of Bax gene knockout on IRI of skin flap. After surgery, the survival rate of flaps in the experimental group (82.32%, 70.28%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (57.64%, 46.14%) (P < 0.05). The results of HE staining showed that on the 1st day after surgery, compared with those in the control group, the skin flaps of the rats in the experimental group were arranged more neatly. The results of TUNEL staining showed that compared with that of the control group, the tissue structure of the skin flap of the experimental group was normal and only a few apoptotic cells appeared. In addition, compared with that in the control group (7.14, 4.25, 3.48, 2.18/6.46, 7.12, 4.86, and 2.44), the expression of Bax and p38 MAPK in the experimental group (0.96, 0.81, 0.76, 0.55/1.63, 1.33, 1.01, and 0.56) significantly decreased (P < 0.05). In short, after the Bax gene was knocked out, injury of the flap after ischemia-reperfusion was considerably improved, which may play a protective role on the IRI of the flap by affecting the p38MAPK pathway.

Abstract
We published the first paper to characterize GPX2 (aka GSHPx-GI) as a selenoenzyme with glutathione peroxidase activity in 1993. Among the four Se-GPX isozymes, GPX1-4, GPX1 and GPX2 are closely related in terms of structure, substrate specificities, and subcellular localization. What sets them apart are distinct patterns of gene regulation, tissue distribution and response to selenium. While we identified the digestive tract epithelium as the main site of GPX2 expression, later work has shown GPX2 is found more widely in epithelial tissues with concentration of expression in stem cell and proliferative compartments. GPX2 expression is regulated over a wide range of levels by many pathways, including NRF2, WNT, p53, RARE and this often results in attaching undue significance to GPX2 as GPX2 is only a part of a system of hydroperoxidase activities, including GPX1, peroxiredoxins and catalase. These other activities may play equal or greater roles, particularly in cell lines cultured without selenium supplementation and often with very low GPX2 levels. This could be assessed by examining levels of mRNA and protein among these various peroxidases at the outset of studies. As an example, it was found that GPX1 responds to the absence of GPX2 in mouse ileum and colon epithelium with higher expression. As such, both Gpx1 and Gpx2 had to be knocked out in mice to produce ileocolitis. However, we note that the actual role of GPX1 and GPX2 in relation to peroxiredoxin function is unclear. There may be an interdependence that requires only low amounts of GPX1 and/or GPX2 in a supporting role to maintain proper peroxiredoxin function. GPX2 levels may be prognostic for cancer progression in colon, breast, prostate and liver, however, there is no consistent trend for higher or lower levels to be favorable.

Abstract
Pufferfish are considered a culinary delicacy but require careful preparation to avoid ingestion of the highly toxic tetrodotoxin (TTX), which accumulates in certain tissues. In this study, the tissue distribution of peroxiredoxin-1 from Takifugu bimaculatus was investigated. The peroxiredoxin-1 protein was obtained by in vitro recombinant expression and purification. The recombinant protein had a strong ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals, protect superhelical DNA plasmids from oxidative damage, and protect L929 cells from H2O2 toxicity through in vitro antioxidant activity. In addition, we verified its ability to bind to tetrodotoxin using surface plasmon resonance techniques. Further, recombinant proteins were found to facilitate the entry of tetrodotoxin into cells. Through these analyses, we identified, for the first time, peroxiredoxin-1 protein from Takifugu bimaculatus as a potential novel tetrodotoxin-binding protein. Our findings provide a basis for further exploration of the application of peroxiredoxin-1 protein and the molecular mechanisms of tetrodotoxin enrichment in pufferfish.

Abstract
11 S, 17S-dihydroxy 7,9,13,15,19 (Z,E,Z,E,Z)-docosapentaenoic acid (DoPE) is a derivative of docosapentaenoic acid, a specialized pro-resolving mediator of inflammation such as lipoxins, resolvins, maresins, and protectins. PM10 is a fine dust particle that induces oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, aging, and cancer. The anti-inflammatory mechanism of DoPE, however, has not yet been elucidated. In these studies, we investigated whether DoPE has anti-inflammatory effects in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. We demonstrated that DoPE suppressed PM10-induced expressions of IL-6 mRNA and protein in human HaCaT keratinocytes. We also investigated the modulating effects of DoPE on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). ROS production, extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, and translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) p65 and NF-kB activity were suppressed by DoPE in PM10-stimulated HaCaT cells. Collectively, our results demonstrated that DoPE inhibited IL-6 expression by reducing ROS generation, suppressing ERK phosphorylation, and inhibiting translocation of NF-kB p65 and NF-kB activity in PM10-stimulated HaCaT cells, suggesting that DoPE can be useful for the resolution of the inflammation caused by IL-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can induce apoptotic cell death in numerous cancer cells. Pterostilbene (PTE), a natural polyphenolic compound, induces cell apoptosis in many human cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated whether PTE could enhance H2O2-induced cell apoptosis in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells in vitro. The morphological change of HaCaT cells was observed and photographed under a contrast-phase microscope. The percentage of cell viability was measured by propidium iodide exclusion assay. Cell apoptosis was performed by Annexin V/PI double staining and assayed by flow cytometer. DNA condensation was measured by DAPI staining. The protein expression was determined by western blotting. ROS production-associated proteins were also assayed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. RESULTS PTE pre-treatment enhanced H2O2 (600 μM)-induced cell morphological changes and reduced the total cell number (cell viability). The decreased cell viability in HaCaT cells was through induction of apoptotic cell death, which was confirmed by Annexin V/PI double staining and DAPI staining. Western blotting studies indicated that HaCaT cells which were pre-treated with PTE (100 μM) and then co-treated with H2O2 (600 μM) for 12 h showed significantly increased levels of SOD (Cu/Zn), SOD (Mn), Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, PARP, p53, p-p53, and p-H2A.X but decreased levels Bcl-2 and catalase. Results also showed that HaCaT cells pre-treated with PTE and then co-treated with H2O2 had increased expression of SOD (Cu/Zn) and glutathione but decreased catalase. CONCLUSION These observations suggest that PTE pre-treatment can enhance the H2O2-induced apoptotic cell death in keratinocyte cells and may be an effective candidate for the treatment of proliferative keratinocytes.

Abstract
Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer, and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is one of the most important carcinogens in cigarette smoke. NNK modulates the expression of peroxiredoxin (Prdx) I in lung cancer. Prdx1 is upregulated in lung squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma, and considered a potential biomarker for lung cancer. The current article reviewed the role and regulatory mechanisms of Prdx1 in NNK-induced lung cancer cells. Prdx1 protects erythrocytes and DNA from NNK-induced oxidative damage, prevents malignant transformation of cells and promotes cytotoxicity of natural killer cells, hence suppressing tumor formation. In addition, Prdx1 has the ability to prevent NNK-induced lung tumor metabolic activity and generation of large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS-induced apoptosis, thus promoting tumor cell survival. In contrast to this, Prdx1, together with NNK, can promote the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and migration of lung tumor cells. The signaling pathways associated with NNK and Prdx1 in lung cancer cells have been discussed in present review; however, numerous potential pathways are yet to be studied. To develop novel methods for treating NNK-induced lung cancer, and improve the survival rate of patients with lung cancer, further research is needed to understand the complete mechanism associated with NNK.
