This study introduced P450 enzyme fusion gene into <em>S. cerevisiae</em> BY4741, then fermenting <em>trans</em>-2-decenoic acid could produce 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid. With the biosynthesized 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, we explored its potential application in skin care. Transcriptomic results suggested that 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid promoted epidermal barrier function and dermal energy metabolism. In vitro experiments revealed that within the epidermal layer, 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid activated <em>PPARα</em> signaling and enhanced the expression of downstream genes <em>IVL</em>, <em>LOR</em>, <em>FLG</em>, and <em>TGM1</em>, thereby promoting epidermal differentiation. It upregulated the expression of <em>SPT</em>, <em>GBA</em>, and <em>ACACA</em>, increasing intercellular lipid content and accelerating the formation of the cornified envelope. In the dermal layer, 10-HDA is capable of enhancing the mitochondrial membrane potential, reinforcing the proton gradient, thereby increasing the efficiency of the coupled electron transport chain and leading to the generation of more ATP. It also upregulates NADPH, providing a certain level of reductive power to reduce the production of oxidative by-products, improving mitochondrial functional efficiency. Taken together, these findings indicated that in addition to its application in food and health products, biologically synthesized 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid could serve as an effective skincare ingredient, contributing to skin barrier repair and resistance against skin aging.

In the present study, we uncovered the role of Reh in modulating chemosensitivity of cDDP in HCC. We found that combinational treatments of Reh and cDDP significantly reduced the cell proliferation of HCC cells at relatively lower concentrations for each drug. Cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase was markedly induced in HCC cells co-treated with Reh and cDDP compared with cDDP alone group. In addition, Reh dramatically enhanced the capacity of cDDP to induce apoptosis in HCC cells through increasing Caspase-3 cleavage. Co-treatment with Reh and cDDP effectively suppressed tumor growth in xenograft mouse models of HCC without adverse effects. Moreover, migration and invasion of HCC cells were significantly restrained by combinational treatments of Reh and cDDP. Mechanistically, tripartite motif protein 21-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (TRIM21-PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway was considerably impeded in HCC cells and tumor tissues by Reh and cDDPco-treatment. Notably, we found that constitutive activation of AKT almost completely abrogated the capacity of Reh plus cDDP to inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.
