Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease worldwide. The major causes of AD are skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated the anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation effects of extract (CAE) and its regulation of the skin barrier and immune functions in AD. In vitro experiments revealed that CAE decreased the reactive oxygen species levels and inhibited the translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), further reducing the secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 induced by interferon-γ (IFN-γ)/tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Moreover, CAE decreased IFN-γ/TNF-α-induced NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) expression levels. It also restored the protein levels of skin barrier function-related markers including filaggrin and claudin-1. In vivo experiments revealed that CAE not only reduced the redness of the backs of mice caused by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) but also reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory factors in their skin. CAE also reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and immune cell infiltration in DNCB-treated mice. Overall, CAE exerted anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation effects and ameliorated skin barrier dysfunction, suggesting its potential as an active ingredient for AD treatment.
特应性皮炎(AD)是一种全球性的常见皮肤病。AD 的主要病因包括皮肤屏障缺陷、免疫功能紊乱和氧化应激。在本研究中,我们研究了 提取物(CAE)的抗氧化和抗炎作用及其对 AD 皮肤屏障和免疫功能的调节作用。体外实验表明,CAE 降低了活性氧水平,抑制了核因子-κB(NF-κB)的易位,从而减少了干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)/肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)诱导的白细胞介素(IL)-1β和 IL-6 的分泌。此外,CAE 降低了 IFN-γ/TNF-α诱导的 NOD 样受体热蛋白结构域相关蛋白 3(NLRP3)、半胱天冬酶-1、高迁移率族蛋白 B1(HMGB1)和晚期糖基化终产物受体(RAGE)的表达水平。它还恢复了皮肤屏障功能相关标志物的蛋白水平,包括丝聚合蛋白和闭合蛋白-1。体内实验表明,CAE 不仅减轻了 2,4-二硝基氯苯(DNCB)引起的小鼠背部发红,还降低了皮肤中促炎因子的水平。CAE 还降低了 DNCB 处理小鼠的经表皮水分流失(TEWL)和免疫细胞浸润。总的来说,CAE 发挥了抗氧化和抗炎作用,并改善了皮肤屏障功能障碍,表明其可能成为 AD 治疗的活性成分。
