It is known that oestrogen influences skin wound healing by modulating the inflammatory response, cytokine expression and extracellular matrix deposition; accelerating re-epithelialization; and stimulating angiogenesis. To identify novel proteins associated with effects of oestrogen on keratinocyte, stable isotope labelling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-based mass spectrometry was performed. Using SILAC, quantification of 1085 proteins was achieved. Among these proteins, 60 proteins were upregulated and 32 proteins were downregulated. Among significantly upregulated proteins, high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) has been further evaluated for its role in the effect of oestrogen on keratinocytes. HMGB1 expression was strongly induced in oestrogen-treated keratinocytes in dose- and time-dependent manner. Further, HMGB1 was able to significantly accelerate the rate of HaCaT cell migration. To determine whether HMGB1 is involved in E2-induced HaCaT cell migration, cells were transfected with HMGB1 siRNA. Knockdown of HMGB1 blocked oestrogen-induced keratinocyte migration. Collectively, these experiments demonstrate that HMGB1 is a novel downstream mediator of oestrogen-stimulated keratinocyte migration.

Introduction: The white water lily (Nymphaea alba) is a traditional medicinal plant recognized for its diverse array of bioactive properties. However, its potential in wound healing remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile, cytotoxicity, and wound healing efficacy of Nymphaea alba flower extract (NAFE) using both in vitro and in vivo models, as well as computational network analysis.

Introduction: Exosomes produced by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have lately garnered significant attention for their capacity to enhance wound healing. Recent studies have recognized exosomes as significant secretory products from several cell types, specifically MSCs, in regulating multiple biological processes, including wound healing. This work aims to investigate the impact of exosomes derived from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) of NMRI animals on keratinocyte function.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are increasingly prevalent, and growing evidence suggests a potential link between them. However, the shared pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aims to identify the hub genes and immunological features underlying the connection between AD and UC.

Although much is known about how cells migrate through interstitial spaces consisting of predominantly of collagen-rich ECM and mesenchyme, how cells migrate through confined epithelial spaces without impairing barrier function is far less understood. Here, using live imaging of the mouse epidermis, we captured the migration of embryonic melanocytes (melanoblasts) while simultaneously visualizing the basement membrane or epithelial surfaces.

Cathelicidin LL-37, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) of the innate immune system, wards off bacterial infections. Recent research has identified plenty of biological functions of AMPs beyond their antimicrobial activity, including antioxidant, self-renewal, and procollagen properties, making them valuable for antiaging products. In this study, we assessed the antiphotoaging potential of cathelicidin LL-37 fragments and KR-12 analogs using human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF).
