The dermal-epidermal junction of human skin exhibits age-related remodelling, resulting in a flattened appearance and reduced surface area. Despite this, a paucity of information is available regarding which protein components change with advancing age. Here we report a significant reduction in the protein distribution of collagen IV (P<0.0001), collagen VII (P<0.001), collagen XVII (P<0.01), integrin β4 (P<0.001) and laminin-332 (P<0.0001) in intrinsically aged skin. The functional implication of this altered protein composition appears to be loss of structural integrity and may, in part, explain the increased fragility of aged skin.
人类皮肤的真皮-表皮交界处呈现出与年龄相关的重塑,导致外观变平且表面积减小。尽管如此,关于哪些蛋白质成分会随着年龄增长而变化的信息却很少。在此,我们报告在自然老化的皮肤中,IV型胶原蛋白(P<0.0001)、VII型胶原蛋白(P<0.001)、XVII型胶原蛋白(P<0.01)、整合素β4(P<0.001)和层粘连蛋白-332(P<0.0001)的蛋白质分布显著减少。这种蛋白质组成改变的功能影响似乎是结构完整性的丧失,并且可能部分解释了老化皮肤脆弱性增加的原因。
