[PMID: 36844531 PMCID: PMC9948169 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c07507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In diabetic patients, the process of wound healing is usually delayed or impaired. A diabetic environment could be associated with dermal fibroblast dysfunction, reduced angiogenesis, the release of excessive proinflammatory cytokines, and senescence features. Alternative therapeutic treatments using natural products are highly demanded for their high potential of bioactive activity in skin repair. Two natural extracts were combined to develop fibroin/aloe gel wound dressing. Our previous studies revealed that the prepared film enhances the healing rate of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Moreover, we aimed to explore its biological effects and underlying biomolecular mechanisms on normal dermal, diabetic dermal, and diabetic wound fibroblasts. Cell culture experiments showed that the γ-irradiated blended fibroin/aloe gel extract film promotes skin wound healing by enhancing cell proliferation and migration, vascular epidermal growth factor (VEGF) secretion, and cell senescence prevention. Its action was mainly linked to the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathway known to regulate various cellular activities, including proliferation. Therefore, the findings of this study confirm and support our previous data. The blended fibroin/aloe gel extract film displays a biological behavior with favorable properties for delayed wound healing and can be considered as a promising therapeutic approach in the treatment of diabetic nonhealing ulcers.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12020300. [PMID: 36829859 PMCID: PMC9951876 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12020300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Dermis fibroblasts are very sensitive to penetrating UVA radiation and induce photo-damage. To protect skin cells against this environmental damage, there is an urgent need for effective compounds, specifically targeting UVA-induced mitochondrial injury. This study aimed to analyze the effect of carnosine on the proteome of UVA-irradiated human skin fibroblast, cultured in a three-dimensional (3D) biological system recapitulating dermal compartment as a test system to investigate the altered cellular pathways after 48 h and 7 days of culture with or without carnosine treatment. The obtained results indicate that UVA dysregulates Oxidative Phosphorylation, the Fibrosis Signaling Pathway, Glycolysis I and Nrf2-mediated Oxidative Stress Response. Carnosine exercises provide a protective function against the harmful effects of UVA radiation by activating the Nrf2 pathway with the upregulations of some ROS-detoxifying enzymes such as the glutathione S-transferase (GST) protein family. Additionally, carnosine regulates the activation of the Epithelial Adherens Junction and Wound Healing Signaling Pathway by mediating the activation of structural proteins such as vinculin and zyxin as well as fibronectin 1 and collagen type XVIII alpha 1 chain against UVA-induced changes.

Ma J, Teng Y, Huang Y, Tao X, Fan Y. Autophagy plays an essential role in ultraviolet radiation-driven skin photoaging. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:864331.

Abstract
Photoaging is characterized by a chronic inflammatory response to UV light. One of the most prominent features of cutaneous photoaging is wrinkling, which is due primarily to a loss of collagen fibers and deposits of abnormal degenerative elastotic material within the dermis (actinic elastosis). These changes are thought to be mediated by inflammation, with subsequent upregulation of extracellular matrix-degrading proteases and down-regulation of collagen synthesis. Autophagy is a vital homeostatic cellular process of either clearing surplus or damaged cell components notably lipids and proteins or recycling the content of the cells’ cytoplasm to promote cell survival and adaptive responses during starvation and other oxidative and/or genotoxic stress conditions. Autophagy may also become a means of supplying nutrients to maintain a high cellular proliferation rate when needed. It has been suggested that loss of autophagy leads to both photodamage and the initiation of photoaging in UV exposed skin. Moreover, UV radiation of sunlight is capable of regulating a number of autophagy-linked genes. This review will focus on the protective effect of autophagy in the skin cells damaged by UV radiation. We hope to draw attention to the significance of autophagy regulation in the prevention and treatment of skin photoaging.

Abstract
Although many bioactive peptides have been identified from the frog skins, their protective effects and the molecular mechanisms against skin photodamage are still poorly understood. In this study, a novel 20-residue peptide (antioxidin-NV, GWANTLKNVAGGLCKMTGAA) was characterized from the skin of plateau frog Nanorana ventripunctata. Antioxidin-NV obviously decreased skin erythema, thickness and wrinkle formation induced by Ultraviolet (UV) B exposure in hairless mice. In UVB-irradiated keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and hairless mice, it effectively inhibited DNA damage through reducing p-Histone H2A.X (γH2AX) expression, alleviated cell apoptosis by decreasing the expression of apoptosis-specific protein (cleaved caspase 3), and reduced interleukin-6 (IL-6) production via blocking UVB-activated Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/p38/JNK/NF-κB signaling. In UVB-irradiated human skin fibroblasts (HSF cells) and hairless mice, it effectively restored HSF cells survival rate, and rescued α-SMA accumulation and collagen (especially type I collagen) production by restoring transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad2 signaling. We found that antioxidin-NV directly and rapidly scavenged intracellular and mitochondrial ROS in HaCaT cells upon UVB irradiation, and quickly eliminated the artificial free radicals, 2, 2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+). Taken together, antioxidin-NV directly and rapidly scavenged excessive ROS upon UVB irradiation, subsequently alleviated UVB-induced DNA damage, cell apoptosis, and inflammatory response, thus protecting against UVB-induced skin photoaging. These properties makes antioxidin-NV an excellent candidate for the development of novel anti-photoaging agent.

J Cosmet Dermatol 2020; 20:2277-2286.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wrinkles and extracellular matrix (ECM) loss are common signs of skin aging and are thought to be the result of damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS); ROS induces an imbalance between ECM degradation and production. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluate soy peptides (SP) and collagen peptides (CP), alone and in combination, for their ability to inhibit ROS formation and increase ECM gene expression in order to ameliorate the signs of skin aging. METHODS Using tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH)-treated dermal fibroblasts, we explored the potential of CP and SP to inhibit ROS formation by flow cytometry, as well as their effect on ECM component genes by real-time quantitative PCR. In addition, we examined the effect of CP and SP on UVA irradiated fibroblasts in a 3D collagen lattice model that measured contractility. RESULTS The results showed that the combination of CP and SP synergistically reduces ROS formation. This combination also increased expression of collagen I, collagen II, elastin, and fibronectin in t-BuOOH-treated or untreated dermal fibroblasts. In the UVA-treated 3D collagen lattice model, the results show that CP and SP significantly improved fibroblast contractility when compared to UVA control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, CP and SP attenuate the loss of contractility due to UVA damage, inhibit t-BuOOH-induced ROS formation, and improve expression of ECM component genes.

Abstract
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a major contributor to premature skin aging and carcinogenesis, which is mainly driven by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). There is growing interest for research on new strategies that address photoaging prevention, such as the use of nanomaterials. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) show enzyme-like activity in scavenging ROS. Herein, our goal was to study whether under ultraviolet A rays (UVA)-induced oxidative redox imbalance, a low dose of nanoceria induces protective effects on cell survival, migration, and proliferation. Fibroblasts cells (L929) were pretreated with nanoceria (100 nM) and exposed to UVA radiation. Pretreatment of cells with nanoceria showed negligible cytotoxicity and protected cells from UVA-induced death. Nanoceria also inhibited ROS production immediately after irradiation and for up to 48 h and restored the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and GSH level. Additionally, the nanoceria pretreatment prevented apoptosis by decreasing Caspase 3/7 levels and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Nanoceria significantly improved the cell survival migration and increased proliferation, over a 5 days period, as compared with UVA-irradiated cells, in wound healing assay. Furthermore, it was observed that nanoceria decreased cellular aging and ERK 1/2 phosphorylation. Our study suggests that nanoceria might be a potential ally to endogenous, antioxidant enzymes, and enhancing the redox potentials to fight against UVA-induced photodamage and consequently modulating the cells survival, migration, and proliferation.
