5-Aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy suppresses lipid secretion of primary sebocytes through AMPK/SREBP-1 pathway.
Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy 2021 December
BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease around pilosebaceous unit. 5-Aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is an effective therapy for severe acne vulgaris. However, its specific treatment mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the potential mechanism of how ALA-PDT induced lipid secretion inhibition in acne vulgaris.
METHODS: Primary human sebocytes and sebaceous gland of golden hamster were treated with/without ALA-PDT. Cell viability was evaluated by Live/Dead Cell assay. Fluorescence microscope was used to observe lipids secretion in sebocytes after Nile red staining. The expression of SREBP-1 after ALA-PDT was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Regulation of ALA-PDT on AMPK/SREBP-1 was evaluated by western blot.
RESULTS: The results showed that ALA-PDT suppressed lipid secretion of primary human sebocytes. In addition, ALA-PDT could inhibit the expression of SREBP-1 in vitro. We also found that ALA-PDT activated AMPK pathway, down-regulating the expression of SREBP-1 in sebocytes after ALA-PDT.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings elucidate that ALA-PDT suppresses lipid secretion through AMPK/SREBP-1 pathway in treatment of acne vulgaris.
