Abstract

The skin epidermis is continually infuenced by a myriad of internal and external elements. At its basal layer reside epidermal stem cells, which fuels epidermal renovation and hair regeneration with powerful self-renewal ability, as well as keeping diverse signals that direct their activity under surveillance with quick response. The importance of epidermal stem cells in wound healing and immune-related skin conditions has been increasingly recognized, and their potential for clinical applications is attracting attention. In this review, we delve into recent advancements and the various physiological and psychological factors that govern distinct epidermal stem cell populations, including psychological stress, mechanical forces, chronic aging, and circadian rhythm, as well as providing an overview of current methodological approaches. Furthermore, we discuss the pathogenic role of epidermal stem cells in immune-related skin disorders and their potential clinical applications.

In developed economies, the growing number of older individuals is a pressing issue. As a result, research progress into ageing has emphasized the significance of staying healthy in one’s later years. Stem cells have a fundamental role to play in fostering diverse cell types and necessary processes for tissue repair and regeneration. Stem cells experience the effects of ageing over time, which is caused by their functional deterioration. Changes to stem cells, their niches and signals from other tissues they interact with are crucial factors in the ageing of stem cells. Progress in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has greatly advanced stem cell research. This review examines the mechanisms of stem cell ageing, its impact on health and investigates the potential of stem cell therapy, with a special emphasis on the skin.

Abstract

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin barrier defects that are often measured by biophysical tools that observe the functional properties of the stratum corneum (SC).

Objectives To employ in vivo infrared spectroscopy alongside biophysical measurements to analyse changes in the chemical composition of the SC in relation to AD severity.

Methods We conducted an observational cross-sectional cohort study where attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATRFTIR) spectroscopy measurements were collected on the forearm alongside surface pH, capacitance, erythema and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), combined with tape stripping, in a cohort of 75 participants (55 patients with AD stratified by phenotypic severity and 20 healthy controls). Common FLG variant alleles were genotyped.

Results Reduced hydration, elevated TEWL and redness were all associated with greater AD severity. Spectral analysis showed a reduction in 1465 cm–1 (full width half maximum) and 1340 cm–1 peak areas, indicative of less orthorhombic lipid ordering and reduced carboxylate functional groups, which correlated with clinical severity (lipid structure r=–0.59, carboxylate peak area r=–0.50).

Conclusions ATR-FTIR spectroscopy is a suitable tool for the characterization of structural skin barrier defects in AD and has potential as a clinical tool for directing individual treatment based on chemical structural deficiencies.

What is already known about this topic?
- The skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by atypical lipid levels and structure, diminished natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and filaggrin deficiency.
- As a result of these structural alterations, normal skin barrier function is reduced.
- Purpose-built probes or assays are typically used to monitor and quantify biochemical changes, such as pH, moisturization factors, hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), on the epidermal surface as a result of the onset of dermatitis.
What does this study add?
- Characteristics from the mid-infrared spectra collected from participants’ skin provided molecular insight into the pathogenesis of AD.
- Lipid- and carboxylate-associated mid-infrared peaks were strongly associated with biophysical measurements, including skin hydration, NMF and TEWL.
- Peaks analysis also indicated a filaggrin deficiency, caused by genetic deposition or inflammatory action.
- Early detection of a genetic predisposition to AD would allow for preventative measures to be undertaken.
