小干扰RNA透皮递送策略研究进展

小干扰RNA (Small interfering RNA,siRNA)已被用于各种皮肤病的治疗。然而,由于siRNA具有电负性、极性强、易被核酸酶降解以及难以突破皮肤表皮屏障等缺陷,使其应用受限。因此,安全高效的siRNA递送载体是siRNA有效治疗皮肤病的前提。近年来,随着对siRNA研究的不断深入,基于脂质、聚合物、肽和纳米颗粒的递送系统的开发取得了很大进展,一些新的siRNA透皮递送载体应运而生,如类脂质体、树枝状聚合物、细胞穿透肽、球形核酸纳米颗粒等等。文中将重点介绍近年来siRNA透皮递送载体的最新研究进展。     

Cutaneous gene transfer and therapy: the present and the future

The easy accessibility of the skin as a therapeutic target provides an exciting potential for this organ for the development of gene therapy protocols for cutaneous diseases and a variety of metabolic disorders. Thus far, full phenotypic reversion of a diseased phenotype has been achieved in vivo for junctional epidermolysis bullosa and X-linked or lamellar ichthyosis and in vitro for xeroderma pigmentosum. These recessive skin diseases are characterized by skin blistering, abnormalities in epidermal differentiation and increased development of skin cancers, respectively. Corrective gene delivery at both molecular and functional levels was achieved by transduction of cultured skin cells using retroviral vectors carrying the specific curative cDNA. These positive results should prompt clinical trials based on transplantation of artificial epithelia reconstructed ex vivo using genetically modified keratinocytes. Promising results have also been obtained in phenotypic reversion of cells isolated from patients suffering from a number of metabolic diseases such as gyrate atrophy, familial hypercholesterolemia or phenylketonuria. In these diseases transplantation of autologous artificial epithelia expressing the transgenes of interest or direct transfer of the DNA to the skin represents a potential therapeutic approach for the systemic delivery of active molecules. Successful cutaneous gene therapy trials, however, require development of protocols for efficient gene transfer to epidermal stem cells, and information about the host immune response to the recombinant polypeptides produced by the implanted keratinocytes. The availability of spontaneous animal models for genodermatoses will validate the gene therapy approach in preclinical trials.

Lésions cutanées et retour de voyage: ectoparaistes et larva migrans: des diagnostics à ne pas méconnaître

Many people spend their vacations in areas with endemic parasitic diseases. Skin lesions caused by ectoparasites and larva migrans are often easily detected during clinical examination. Laboratory evidence of parasitic disease is essential because most skin lesions are non-specific, and different parasitic diseases can coexist in the same area of the world. Treatment is varies and is based on the parasitic disease in question.     

Phenotyping of epidermal dendritic cells: clinical applications of a flow cytometric micromethod.

BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases is largely based on the patient's history and the morphological analysis of the skin lesion. Laboratory data, such as serum IgE-level and prick and patch tests, may be helpful but do not assess individual lesions. The assumption of our approach is that each individual lesion is associated with a specific microenvironment and that the immunophenotype of the two epidermal dendritic cell populations, Langerhans cells (LC) and inflammatory dendritic epidermal cells (IDEC), reflects this environment in a disease-specific manner. METHODS: A flow cytometric micromethod was developed to directly analyze individual inflammatory human skin lesions. Crude epidermal single cell suspensions were prepared by trypsinization, stained for three-color analysis with different monoclonal antibodies and the vital stain 7-amino-actinomycin-D, and finally analyzed on a single laser equipped FACScan flow cytometer. RESULTS: With a limited set of cell surface markers, such as FcepsilonRI, FcgammaRII/CD32, CD1b and CD36, highly specific diagnostic criteria for atopic dermatitis and inflamed human skin could be established. CONCLUSIONS: Phenotyping of epidermal dendritic cells is a useful procedure helpful in differential diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases.     

Ecotoxicological assessment and dermal layer interactions of nanoparticle and its routes of penetrations

Our review focused on nanomaterials-based toxicity evaluation and its exposure to the human and aquatic animals when it was leached and contaminated in the environment. Ecotoxicological assessment and its mechanism mainly affect the skin covering layers and its preventive barriers that protect the foreign particles' skin. Nanoscale materials are essential in the medical field, especially in biomedical and commercial applications such as nanomedicine and drug delivery, mainly in therapeutic treatments. However, various commercial formulations of pharmaceutical drugs are manufactured through a series of clinical trials. The role of such drugs and their metabolites has not met the requirement of an individual's need at the early stage of the treatments except few drugs and medicines with minimal or no side effects. Therefore, biology and medicines are taken up the advantages of nano scaled drugs and formulations for the treatment of various diseases. The present study identifies and analyses the different nanoparticles and their chemical components on the skin and their effects due to penetration. There are advantageous factors available to facilitate positive and negative contact between dermal layers. It creates a new agenda for an established application that is mainly based on skin diseases.

Emerging role of immune cell network in autoimmune skin disorders: An update on pemphigus,vitiligo and psoriasis

Autoimmune skin diseases are a group of disorders that arise due to a deregulated immune system resulting in skin tissue destruction. In the majority of these conditions, either autoreactive immune cells or the autoantibodies are generated against self-antigens of the skin. Although the etiology of these diseases remains elusive, biochemical, genetic, and environmental factors such as infectious agents, toxins damage the skin tissue leading to self-antigen generation, autoantibody attack and finally results in autoimmunity of skin. Immune dysregulation, which involves predominantly T helper 1/17 (Th1/Th17) polarization and the inability of regulatory T cells to regress immune response, is implicated in autoimmune skin diseases.The emerging roles of immune cells, cytokines, and chemokines in the pathogenesis of common autoimmune skin diseases like pemphigus, vitiligo, and psoriasis are discussed in this review. The main focus is on the interplay between immune cell network including the innate and adaptive immune system, regulatory cells, immune checkpoints and recently identified tissue-resident memory cells (TRMs) in disease pathogenesis and relapse. We also attempt to highlight on the immune mechanisms common to these diseases which can be targeted for designing novel therapeutics.     

Separation and mass spectrometric characterization of covalently bound skin ceramides using LC/APCI-MS and Nano-ESI-MS/MS

Ceramides covalently bound to keratinocytes are essential for the barrier function of the skin, which can be disturbed in diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. These ceramides of the classes omega-hydroxyacyl-sphingosine and omega-hydroxyacyl-6-hydroxysphingosine contain an omega-hydroxy fatty acid. For their separation and identification, a new analytical approach based on normal phase liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry and tandem nano-electrospray mass spectrometry, respectively, is presented here. Tandem mass spectrometry provided structural information about the sphingoid base as well as the fatty acid moieties. The chain lengths of the bases ranged from C12 to C22, the chain lengths of the fatty acids varied between C28 and C36. In total, 67 ceramide species have been identified in human skin. The analytical methods presented in this work can be helpful for investigating alterations in the ceramide composition of the skin as seen in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and diseases with impaired epidermal barrier function.     

Comparison of two methods for noninvasive determination of carotenoids in human and animal skin: Raman spectroscopy versus reflection spectroscopy

Based on compelling in vivo and in vitro studies on human skin, carotenoids are thought to be of great interest as powerful antioxidants acting to prevent free‐radical‐induced damages, including premature skin ageing and the development of skin diseases such as cancer. Among the available techniques that are suitable for noninvasive determination of carotenoids in human skin, are resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) and reflection spectroscopy (RS). For RS, a LED‐based miniaturized spectroscopic system (MSS) was developed for noninvasive measurement of carotenoids in human skin. The optimization and subsequent calibration of the MSS was performed with the use of RRS. A strong correlation between the carotenoid concentration determined by the RS and for the RRS system was achieved for human skin in vivo (R = 0.88) and for bovine udder skin in vitro (R = 0.81).

Antibiotic sensitivity of bacterial isolates from cases of canine dermatitis

Among 97 bacterial isolates, 74 strains of Staphylococcus spp developed from 95 swabs taken from skin lesions in dogs. Twenty-eight staphylococcal strains resistant to methicillin and/or oxacillin were identified and mecA expression was confirmed for 14 of these strains. S. aureus and S. intermedius group (SIG) strains were particularly relevant in our cases due to their antibiotic resistance leading to an increased veterinary and public health risk. We suggest a diagnostic protocol based on cytological examination, bacterial identification to species level, and antibiotic sensitivity testing prior to prescribing antibiotic treatment for canine skin diseases.     

活化T 细胞核因子在皮肤疾病发生与发展中的作用

活化T细胞核因子(nuclear factor of activated T cell,NFAT)作为细胞信号转导中的一类重要因子,最早被认为是一种能结合和上调T细胞中IL-2基因启动子的诱导性核因子,现发现它不仅在免疫系统中发挥功能,在肿瘤发生、发展中也起着关键性作用。近年来,越来越多的研究显示NFAT与人类皮肤疾病的发生、发展密切相关。在多种皮肤疾病患者真表皮成分中,NFAT异常表达,促进T细胞活化、表皮细胞增殖及自身免疫反应的形成,甚至促进肿瘤形成和浸润转移。本文旨在阐述研究发现的NFAT在皮肤疾病中发挥的重要作用,涉及T细胞活化、自身免疫反应形成、肿瘤形成及其浸润转移,以及NFAT在皮肤疾病中作用机制,预测这些研究结果对于皮肤病的治疗有着重要意义。     

Automated classification of healthy and keloidal collagen patterns based on processing of SHG images of human skin

All‐optical microspectroscopic and tomographic tools have a great potential for the clinical investigation of human skin and skin diseases. However, automated optical tomography or even microscopy generate immense data sets. Therefore, in order to implement such diagnostic tools into the medical practice in both hospitals and private practice, there is a need for automated data handling and image analysis ideally implementing automized scores to judge the physiological state of a tissue section. In this contribution, the potential of an image processing algorithm for the automated classification of skin into normal or keloid based on second‐harmonic generation (SHG) microscopic images is demonstrated. Such SHG data is routinely recorded within a multimodal imaging approach. The classification of the tissue implemented in the algorithm employs the geometrical features of collagen patterns that differ depending on the constitution, i.e., physiological status of the skin.
