Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is caused by various factors, including complex interactions between immune responses and imbalances in T helper cells. In order to resolve the side effects of steroid-based treatment and rapidly improve atopy symptoms, the development of preventive substances for new treatments and as food supplements is essential. Nakai (PKN) is traditionally used as an effective herbal medicine for pain relief, anti-inflammation, and edema, and dried PKN is boiled and drunk as a tea to prevent them; however, its effect on skin manifestations such as atopy are unclear. Therefore, we investigated the in vivo and in vitro effects of PKN extract on improving symptoms of atopy as a potential treatment. By evaluating dermatitis scores and conducting histopathological analysis in mice with Dermatophagoides farina-induced atopy-like pathology, we demonstrated that PKN extract alleviated atopy symptoms. Moreover, PKN extract restored a reduction in the protein levels of skin barrier-related factors in skin tissue. Through in vitro analysis, we examined the impact of PKN on JAK/STAT signaling in IL-4/IL-13-stimulated human keratinocytes and elucidated the mechanisms that suppress the levels of skin barrier factors and inflammation. PKN extract inhibited JAK/STAT phosphorylation stimulated by IL-4/IL-13. Furthermore, docking analysis of PKN constituents indicated binding to JNK1/2 and STAT3/6 and a subsequent inhibition of signal transduction. Therefore, this suggests that PKN extract has potential not only as a treatment but also as a food supplement to improve atopic dermatitis by strengthening skin barrier factors and inhibiting key signaling molecules.

摘要

特应性皮炎由多种因素引起,包括免疫反应与辅助性T细胞失衡之间的复杂相互作用。为了解决基于类固醇治疗的副作用并迅速改善特应性症状,开发新的治疗用预防物质以及作为食品补充剂至关重要。中井(PKN)传统上用作缓解疼痛、抗炎和消肿的有效草药,干燥的PKN煮成茶饮用可预防这些症状;然而,其对特应性等皮肤表现的作用尚不清楚。因此,我们研究了PKN提取物作为一种潜在治疗方法对改善特应性症状的体内和体外作用。通过评估皮炎评分并对粉尘螨诱导的特应样病理小鼠进行组织病理学分析,我们证明PKN提取物减轻了特应性症状。此外,PKN提取物恢复了皮肤组织中皮肤屏障相关因子蛋白水平的降低。通过体外分析,我们研究了PKN对白细胞介素-4/白细胞介素-13刺激的人角质形成细胞中JAK/STAT信号传导的影响,并阐明了抑制皮肤屏障因子水平和炎症的机制。PKN提取物抑制白细胞介素-4/白细胞介素-13刺激的JAK/STAT磷酸化。此外,PKN成分的对接分析表明其与JNK1/2和STAT3/6结合,并随后抑制信号转导。因此,这表明PKN提取物不仅有作为治疗方法的潜力,而且有作为食品补充剂通过增强皮肤屏障因子和抑制关键信号分子来改善特应性皮炎的潜力。
