Research paper thumbnail of Molecular Characterization of Inflammation and Staphylococcus aureus Colonization of Involved Skin of Atopic Dermatitis Patients

The aim of this work was to propose a new non-invasive approach to enumerate the genes coding for the toxins of SA in atopic skin samples. In parallel, the study aimed to evaluate the change in AD through 3 markers of the inflammatory response: IL-8, IL-1RA/IL-1α and IL-18. These methods were tested on 31 patients with AD, and finally on a group of 19 subjects for whom clinical improvement had been reported after various treatments. The study revealed the presence of a large number of genes encoding toxins in atopic samples, indicating a high rate of SA colonization, and also an increase in the level of all cytokine markers in atopic skin compared to the skin of healthy subjects. Finally, we found a positive correlation between increases in the...

This new strategy has been tested with regard to two enzymatic activities of the skin barrier: extracellular glucosidase and esterase/lipase. An analysis of the requirements for the glycosidic bond hydrolysis of any glycoconjugate by beta-glucocerebrosidase indicates that the release of the moiety linked to the glucose unit is obtained as long as the glycosidic bond being broken is not hindered, and as long as the leaving group property of the released moiety is good enough. This strategy was first applied to the release of the antioxidant delta-tocopherol. It was then extended to retinoic acid by introducing a spacer between the glucose unit and the bioactive moiety. This spacer was either a good leaving group such as hydroquinone, or a structure akin to a ceramide, n...

The present invention also relates to such a composition, or a diglyceride 1.3 of formula (I), for use in the fight against embrittlement of the cutaneous barrier and in particular to prevent or reduce the penetration of exogenous molecules in the skin following an embrittlement of the skin barrier.

However, many aspects remain poorly understood such as where and when is the early stage of the Propionibacterium acnes colonization in follicular unit? Our research aimed at providing a precise analysis of microcomedone's structure to better understand the interplay between Propionibacterium acnes and follicular units, and therefore, the role of its interplay in the formation of acne lesions. Methods: Microcomedones were sampled using cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping (CSSS). Their morphology was investigated with multiphoton imaging and their ultrastructure with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Bacterial lipase activity in the microcomedones was quantified using a dedicated enzymatic test as well as a Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis. The porphyrin produced by bacteria was analysed with HPTLC and fluorescence spectroscopy. Results: The imaging analysis showed that microcomedones' structure resembles a pouch, whose interior is mostly composed of lipids with clusters of bacteria and whose outer shell is made up of corneocyte layers. The extensive bacteria colonization is clearly visible using TEM. Even after sampling, clear lipase activity was still seen in the microcomedone. A high correlation, r = .85, was observed between porphyrin content measured with HPTLC and with fluorescence spectroscopy. These observations show that microcomedones, which are generally barely visible clinically, already contain a bacterial colonization.

It causes the aggressive malignancy known as Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATL), HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP), and infective dermatitis. Although strong immune responses are generated against the virus, they do not eliminate HTLV-1. HTLV-1 propagates within and between individuals via cell-to-cell transmission. Here we demonstrate that the contact formed between a dendritic cell (DC) and an HTLV-1-infected T cell can reduce dendritic cell (DC) immunological functions by reducing TLR responses, IL-12 p40/p70 expression and MHC-II expression on the DC. These DC-T cell contacts induce spleen tyrosine kinase-mediated c-Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway activation on DCs but are independent of DC-SIGN signalling. Furthermore, both Alu-PCR and highthroughput integration site analysis of HTLV-1 show little evidence of integrated proviruses in DCs. Finally, we show that DCs can re-transfer HTLV-1 to target autologous CD4 + T-cells in trans. These findings suggest that DC/T-cell virological synapses contribute not only to viral cell-to-cell transmission in trans, but also to down-modulation of host innate and adaptive immunity against HTLV-1. Restoring DC functions in HTLV-1 infection might improve the early immune control of the virus and reduce the risk of emergence of ATL and other diseases including infective dermatitis.

Research paper thumbnail of Association between collagen production and mechanical stretching in dermal extracellular matrix: In vivo effect of cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler. A randomised, placebo-controlled study

To ascertain the association between dermal mechanics modulated by a hyaluronic acid-based filler effect and metabolism. Sixty females were randomised to receive a 0.5mL injection of HA gel or isotonic sodium chloride (control) in the arm. Skin biopsies were taken at baseline and after 1, 3 and 6 months. Protein and gene expression of procollagen, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and MMP tissue inhibitors (TIMP1) were measured blind by ELISA and qPCR, respectively. Injected volumes were measured by high-frequency ultrasound and radiofrequency analysis. Skin layer effects of injections were analysed by finite element digital modelling. One month after injection, the filler induced an increase in procollagen (p=0.0016) and TIMP-1 (p=0.0485) levels and relative gene expression of procollagen III and I isoforms compared with the controls. After 3 months, procollagen levels remained greater than in the controls (p=0.0005), whereas procollagen expression and TIMP-1 and MMP content were no longer different. Forty-three percent of the injected filler volume was found at 1 month, 26% after 3 months and 20% after 6 months. The ultrasound imaging technique limited the scope of the investigation and precluded an evaluation of the action of the filler at the hypodermic level. Integrating both mechanical and biological aspects, our results suggest that mechanical stress generated by cross-linked HA plays a role in dermal cell biochemical response.

Acne is a multifactorial disease driven by physiological changes occurring during puberty in the ... more Acne is a multifactorial disease driven by physiological changes occurring during puberty in the pilosebaceous unit (PSU) that leads to sebum overproduction and a dysbiosis involving notably Cutibacterium acnes. These changes in the PSU microenvironment lead to a shift from a homeostatic to an inflammatory state. Indeed, immunohistochemical analyses have revealed that inflammation and lymphocyte infiltration can be detected even in the infraclinical acneic stages, highlighting the importance of the early stages of the disease. In this study, we utilized a robust multi-pronged approach that included flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and bioinformatics to comprehensively characterize the evolution of the infiltrating and resident immune cell populations in acneic lesions, beginning in the early stages of their development. Using a discovery cohort of 15 patients, we demonstrated that the composition of immune cell infiltrate is highly dynamic in nature, with the relative abundance ...
