Propionibacterium acnes Activates the IGF-1/IGF-1R System in the Epidermis and Induces Keratinocyte Proliferation

Abstract: Propionibacterium acnes has a major role in the development of acne lesions. IGF-1 stimulates the proliferation of keratinocytes via an activation of the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Zinc has been proven to work efficiently against inflammatory acne and to modulate the IGF-1 system. Our objectives were to study the modulation of IGF-1 and IGF-1R expression by P. acnes extracts and to determine their modulation by zinc gluconate. In vivo, we analyzed biopsies of acne lesions and healthy skin, and in vitro we used s… Show more

“…Our experimental results showing decreases in SREBP-1 protein and gene expression, a master regulator of lipid synthesis in the sebaceous glands [25,26], might explain critical steps involved with sebosuppression. As possible upstream molecular events, attenuated activation of IGF-1/IGF-1 receptor system after antimicrobial activities of LFCO against P. acnes might lead to suppression of SREBP-1 [27,28]. A decrease in IGF-1R expression after LFCO treatment was observed.…”

“…Lastly, P. acnes has been shown to increase the production of IGF‐1 by keratinocytes 63 . This can then activate IGF‐1R, mostly located in the basal layer of the epidermis and also induced by P. acnes , leading to proliferation of the keratinocytes and an increase in filaggrin expression through a paracrine pathway 63 . This can potentially be another mechanism by which P. acnes can potentiate comedogenesis.…”
