UNASSIGNED: In the present study, we investigated whether PA promotes inflammasome-mediated inflammation of sebocytes both in vivo and in vitro.
UNASSIGNED: We intradermally injected PA into the mice ears. And, we treated cultured human sebocytes with PA. Inflammasome-mediated inflammation was verified by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and ELISA.
UNASSIGNED: PA-treated mice developed an inflammatory response associated with increased interleukin (IL)-1β expression in the sebaceous glands. When PA was added to cultured human sebocytes, caspase-1 activation and IL-1β secretion were significantly enhanced. In addition, NLRP3 knockdown attenuated IL-1β production by sebocytes stimulated with PA. PA-mediated inflammasome activation required reactive oxygen species.
UNASSIGNED: These findings indicate that PA activates the NLRP3 inflammasome before induction of an inflammatory response in sebocytes. Thus, PA may play a role in the inflammation of acne.
■在本研究中,我们研究了PA是否在体内和体外促进炎症小体介导的皮脂腺细胞炎症。
■我们将PA皮内注射到小鼠耳朵中。And,我们用PA处理培养的人皮脂细胞。炎症小体介导的炎症通过免疫组织化学证实,Westernblot和ELISA。
■PA处理的小鼠出现了与皮脂腺中白细胞介素(IL)-1β表达增加相关的炎症反应。当PA添加到培养的人皮脂腺细胞中时,caspase-1激活和IL-1β分泌显著增强。此外,NLRP3敲低减弱了用PA刺激的皮脂细胞产生的IL-1β。PA介导的炎性小体活化需要活性氧。
■这些发现表明,PA在诱导皮脂腺细胞的炎症反应之前激活了NLRP3炎性体。因此,PA可能在痤疮的炎症中起作用。
