Abstract

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin barrier defects that are often measured by biophysical tools that observe the functional properties of the stratum corneum (SC).

Objectives To employ in vivo infrared spectroscopy alongside biophysical measurements to analyse changes in the chemical composition of the SC in relation to AD severity.

Methods We conducted an observational cross-sectional cohort study where attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATRFTIR) spectroscopy measurements were collected on the forearm alongside surface pH, capacitance, erythema and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), combined with tape stripping, in a cohort of 75 participants (55 patients with AD stratified by phenotypic severity and 20 healthy controls). Common FLG variant alleles were genotyped.

Results Reduced hydration, elevated TEWL and redness were all associated with greater AD severity. Spectral analysis showed a reduction in 1465 cm–1 (full width half maximum) and 1340 cm–1 peak areas, indicative of less orthorhombic lipid ordering and reduced carboxylate functional groups, which correlated with clinical severity (lipid structure r=–0.59, carboxylate peak area r=–0.50).

Conclusions ATR-FTIR spectroscopy is a suitable tool for the characterization of structural skin barrier defects in AD and has potential as a clinical tool for directing individual treatment based on chemical structural deficiencies.

What is already known about this topic?
- The skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by atypical lipid levels and structure, diminished natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and filaggrin deficiency.
- As a result of these structural alterations, normal skin barrier function is reduced.
- Purpose-built probes or assays are typically used to monitor and quantify biochemical changes, such as pH, moisturization factors, hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), on the epidermal surface as a result of the onset of dermatitis.
What does this study add?
- Characteristics from the mid-infrared spectra collected from participants’ skin provided molecular insight into the pathogenesis of AD.
- Lipid- and carboxylate-associated mid-infrared peaks were strongly associated with biophysical measurements, including skin hydration, NMF and TEWL.
- Peaks analysis also indicated a filaggrin deficiency, caused by genetic deposition or inflammatory action.
- Early detection of a genetic predisposition to AD would allow for preventative measures to be undertaken.

Abstract

Skin represents the main barrier against the external environment, but also plays a role in human relations, as one of the prime determinants of beauty, resulting in a high consumer demand for skincare-related pharmaceutical products. Given the importance of skin aging in both medical and social spheres, the present research aims to characterize microscopic changes in human skin composition due to intrinsic aging (as opposed to aging infuenced by external factors) via histological analysis of a photoprotected body region. Samples from 25 autopsies were taken from the periumbilical area and classifed into four age groups: group 1 (0–12 years), group 2 (13–25 years), group 3 (26–54 years), and group 4 (≥55 years). Diferent traditional histological (hematoxylin–eosin, Masson’s trichrome, orcein, toluidine, Alcian blue, and Feulgen reaction) and immunohistochemical (CK20, CD1a, Ki67, and CD31) stains were performed. A total of 1879 images photographed with a Leica DM3000 optical microscope were morphometrically analyzed using Image ProPlus 7.0 for further statistical analysis with GraphPad 9.0. Our results showed a reduction in epidermis thickness, interdigitation and mitotic indexes, while melanocyte count was raised. Papillary but not reticular dermis showed increased thickness with aging. Specifcally, in the papillary layer mast cells and glycosaminoglycans were expanded, whereas the reticular dermis displayed a diminution in glycosaminoglycans and elastic fbers. Moreover, total cellularity and vascularization of both dermises were diminished with aging. This morphometric analysis of photoprotected areas reveals that intrinsic aging signifcantly infuences human skin composition. This study paves the way for further research into the molecular basis underpinning these alterations, and into potential antiaging strategies.

abstract

Our skin protects us from external threats including ultraviolet radiation, pathogens and chemicals, and prevents excessive trans-epidermal water loss. These varied activities are reliant on a vast array of lipids, many of which are unique to skin, and that support physical, microbiological and immunological barriers. The cutaneous physical barrier is dependent on a specific lipid matrix that surrounds terminally-differentiated keratinocytes in the stratum corneum. Sebum- and keratinocyte-derived lipids cover the skin's surface and support and regulate the skin microbiota. Meanwhile, lipids signal between resident and infiltrating cutaneous immune cells, driving in-flammation and its resolution in response to pathogens and other threats. Lipids of particular importance include ceramides, which are crucial for stratum corneum lipid matrix formation and therefore physical barrier functionality, fatty acids, which contribute to the acidic pH of the skin surface and regulate the microbiota, as well as the stratum corneum lipid matrix, and bioactive metabolites of these fatty acids, involved in cell signalling, inflammation, and numerous other cutaneous processes. These diverse and complex lipids maintain homeostasis in healthy skin, and are implicated in many cutaneous diseases, as well as unrelated systemic conditions with skin manifestations, and processes such as ageing. Lipids also contribute to the gut-skin axis, signalling between the two barrier sites. Therefore, skin lipids provide a valuable resource for exploration of healthy cutaneous processes, local and systemic disease development and progression, and accessible biomarker discovery for systemic disease, as well as an opportunity to fully understand the relationship between the host and the skin microbiota. Investigation of skin lipids could provide diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and help identify new targets for interventions. Development and improvement of existing in vitro and in silico approaches to explore the cutaneous lipidome, as well as advances in skin lipidomics technologies, will facilitate ongoing progress in skin lipid research.
