Intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including lifestyle and sun exposure, can contribute to cell senescence, which impairs skin homeostasis, that may in turn lead to skin aging. Senescent cells have a specifc secretome, called the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that includes MMPs, CXCLs and S100A8/9. Reducing the SASP with senotherapeutics is a promising strategy to reduce skin aging. Here we evaluated the efect of a formula containing niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which are known to limit senescence and skin aging. We conducted three diferent studies. (1) Ex vivo explants treated with the formula had more collagen and glycosaminoglycan. (2) In a clinical trial with forty-four women, two months of treatment improved fne lines, wrinkles, luminosity, smoothness, homogeneity, and plumpness. (3) In a third study on thirty women, we treated one arm for two months and took skin biopsies to study gene expression. 101 mRNAs and 13 miRNAs were diferentially expressed. We observed a likely senomorphic efect, as there was a decrease in many SASP genes including MMP12 and CXCL9 and a signifcant downregulation of autocrine signaling genes: S100A8 and S100A9. These pharmaco-clinical results are the frst to demonstrate the senomorphic properties of an efective anti-aging formula in skin.

Abstract: The dermal–epidermal junction (DEJ) is essential for maintaining skin structural integrity and regulating cell survival and proliferation. Thus, DEJ rejuvenation is key for skin revitalization, particularly in age-related DEJ deterioration. Radiofrequency (RF) treatment, known for its ability to enhance collagen fiber production through thermal mechanisms and increase heat shock protein (HSP) expression, has emerged as a promising method for skin rejuvenation. Additionally, RF activates Piezo1, an ion channel implicated in macrophage polarization toward an M2 phenotype and enhanced TGF-β production. This study investigated the impact of RF treatment on HSP47 and HSP90 expression, known stimulators of DEJ protein expression. Furthermore, using in vitro and aged animal skin models, we assessed whether RF-induced Piezo1 activation and the subsequent M2 polarization could counter age-related DEJ changes. The RF treatment of H2O2 -induced senescent keratinocytes upregulated the expression of HSP47, HSP90, TGF-β, and DEJ proteins, including collagen XVII. Similarly, the RF treatment of senescent macrophages increased Piezo1 and CD206 (M2 marker) expression. Conditioned media from RF-treated senescent macrophages enhanced the expression of TGF-β and DEJ proteins, such as nidogen and collagen IV, in senescent fibroblasts. In aged animal skin, RF treatment increased the expression of HSP47, HSP90, Piezo1, markers associated with M2 polarization, IL-10, and TGF-β. Additionally, RF treatment enhanced DEJ protein expression. Moreover, RF reduced lamina densa replication, disrupted lesions, promoted hemidesmosome formation, and increased epidermal thickness. Overall, RF treatment effectively enhanced DEJ protein expression and mitigated age-related DEJ structural changes by increasing HSP levels and activating Piezo1.

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.

Abstract

Skin represents the main barrier against the external environment, but also plays a role in human relations, as one of the prime determinants of beauty, resulting in a high consumer demand for skincare-related pharmaceutical products. Given the importance of skin aging in both medical and social spheres, the present research aims to characterize microscopic changes in human skin composition due to intrinsic aging (as opposed to aging infuenced by external factors) via histological analysis of a photoprotected body region. Samples from 25 autopsies were taken from the periumbilical area and classifed into four age groups: group 1 (0–12 years), group 2 (13–25 years), group 3 (26–54 years), and group 4 (≥55 years). Diferent traditional histological (hematoxylin–eosin, Masson’s trichrome, orcein, toluidine, Alcian blue, and Feulgen reaction) and immunohistochemical (CK20, CD1a, Ki67, and CD31) stains were performed. A total of 1879 images photographed with a Leica DM3000 optical microscope were morphometrically analyzed using Image ProPlus 7.0 for further statistical analysis with GraphPad 9.0. Our results showed a reduction in epidermis thickness, interdigitation and mitotic indexes, while melanocyte count was raised. Papillary but not reticular dermis showed increased thickness with aging. Specifcally, in the papillary layer mast cells and glycosaminoglycans were expanded, whereas the reticular dermis displayed a diminution in glycosaminoglycans and elastic fbers. Moreover, total cellularity and vascularization of both dermises were diminished with aging. This morphometric analysis of photoprotected areas reveals that intrinsic aging signifcantly infuences human skin composition. This study paves the way for further research into the molecular basis underpinning these alterations, and into potential antiaging strategies.
