The Effect of Polynucleotide-Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel in the Recovery After Mechanical Skin Barrier Disruption.
Background: The epidermal barrier acts as a defense against external agents as well as helps to maintain body homeostasis. Polynucleotides (PN), exogenous DNA fragments, promote wound repair through their stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Recent findings indicate a synergistic effect of PN and hyaluronic acid (HA) combinations in regulating inflammation and promoting cell proliferation. This study aims to elucidate the effects of PN and HA on repairing the epidermal barrier following its disruption by tape stripping (TS) in a mouse model.
Materials and methods: After disrupting the epidermal barrier using TS, a formulation containing PN (14 mg/mL) and HA (6 mg/mL) was applied. Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) was measured at 0, 3, 6, 24, 48, and 72 h. Mice were euthanized after the final application at 72 h, and tissue samples were analyzed for epidermal/dermal thickness, neutrophil infiltration, and filaggrin expression.
Results: We observed a significant reduction in TEWL in the PN+HA group compared to that in the control group (20.8 ± 0.5 vs. 43.7 ± 0.5 g/m2h at 72 h, p < 0.05), indicating an improvement in barrier function. Histological evaluation showed decreased epidermal and dermal thickening in the PN+HA group compared to that in the control group (epidermal: 29.4 ± 2.2 vs. 57.9 ± 3.5 μm; dermal: 464.8 ± 25.9 vs. 825.9 ± 44.8 μm, both p < 0.05). Additionally, neutrophil infiltration in the dermis was significantly reduced, and filaggrin protein levels were significantly higher in the PN+HA group compared to those in the control group (4.8 ± 0.4 vs. 21.1 ± 3.3 for neutrophils; 0.84 ± 0.04 vs. 0.42 ± 0.03 for filaggrin, both p < 0.05).
Conclusion: These results suggest that PN+HA may be an effective therapeutic strategy for repairing skin barrier damage.
期刊介绍:
Skin Research and Technology is a clinically-oriented journal on biophysical methods and imaging techniques and how they are used in dermatology, cosmetology and plastic surgery for noninvasive quantification of skin structure and functions. Papers are invited on the development and validation of methods and their application in the characterization of diseased, abnormal and normal skin.
Topics include blood flow, colorimetry, thermography, evaporimetry, epidermal humidity, desquamation, profilometry, skin mechanics, epiluminiscence microscopy, high-frequency ultrasonography, confocal microscopy, digital imaging, image analysis and computerized evaluation and magnetic resonance. Noninvasive biochemical methods (such as lipids, keratin and tissue water) and the instrumental evaluation of cytological and histological samples are also covered.
The journal has a wide scope and aims to link scientists, clinical researchers and technicians through original articles, communications, editorials and commentaries, letters, reviews, announcements and news. Contributions should be clear, experimentally sound and novel.
