New pharmaceutical concepts for sebaceous gland diseases: implementing today’s pre-clinical data into tomorrow’s daily clinical practice.

Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2012 Jan 17;
Zampeli VA, Makrantonaki E, Tzellos T, Zouboulis CC

The human sebaceous gland is a microscopic branched type multiacinar gland been present everywhere on the body except on the palms and soles, whereas they are sparsely located on the dorsum of hands and feet. Several medical conditions are related with sebaceous gland pathology, such as acne, sebaceous hyperplasia, sebaceous adenoma and sebaceous carcinoma. Acne is a common, complex, chronic disorder of the human pilosebaceous unit that mostly occurs in adolescence and young adulthood. The sebaceous gland plays an exquisite role in the initiation of the disease. The multifactorial nature of the pathogenesis of acne includes increased sebum production, alteration of the quality of sebum lipids, inflammatory processes, interaction with neuropeptides and dysregulation of the hormone microenvironment, follicular hyperkeratinization and inflammation maintained by Propionbacterium acnes products within the follicle. On the other hand, the sebaceous gland, as a major and critical compartment of human skin, is also affected through ageing, both intrinsic and extrinsic, which lead to distinct clinical and histological changes. Intrinsic ageing of the sebaceous gland is determined primarily by genetic factors and hormonal status, with androgens playing a major role. A clinical manifestation associated with intrinsic ageing changes is skin xerosis. Extrinsic ageing of human sebaceous gland is mainly caused by accumulating UV irradiation, especially UVA. Photoageing of sebaceous gland is expressed with a wide spectrum of benign and malignant sebaceous tumours, such as sebaceous hyperplasia, sebaceous carcinoma and Muir-Torre syndrome. This review will focus on the pathogenesis of the most common sebaceous gland diseases and their molecular pathways which may represent future pharmaceutical targets.

Genetic diversity of Propionibacterium acnes strains isolated from human skin in Japan and comparison with their distribution in Europe.

J Med Microbiol. 2012 Jan 13;
Dekio I, Rajendram D, Morita E, Gharbia S, Shah HN

Propionibacterium acnes, a commensal of human skin, is also an opportunistic pathogen of common acne and other infectious diseases. However, it is still not obvious which strain is pathogenic for a certain infectious diseases, and investigations to characterise pathogenic strains using molecular typing methods such as multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using several housekeeping genes has been in progress. However, to date, such analysis has focused mainly on strains isolated from Europeans, and it is unclear whether the clonal distribution in other parts of the world is similar. Here, we analysed 50 strains of P. acnes from healthy humans and patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) in Japan and utilised MLST of seven housekeeping genes to study their clonal patterns. The MLST successfully typed the strains into five types, IA, IB1, IB2, II, and III. Strains that belonged to types IA, IB, II were common on the human skin of both populations (Europe and Japan), but this study demonstrated the first association of type III strains with the human skin, existing both on the skin of AD and non-AD population. These results indicate the global existence of type III strains on the human skin.

Intratumoral Injection of Propionibacterium acnes Suppresses Malignant Melanoma by Enhancing Th1 Immune Responses.

PLoS One. 2011; 6(12): e29020
Tsuda K, Yamanaka K, Linan W, Miyahara Y, Akeda T, Nakanishi T, Kitagawa H, Kakeda M, Kurokawa I, Shiku H, Gabazza EC, Mizutani H

Malignant melanoma (MM) is an aggressive cutaneous malignancy associated with poor prognosis; many putatively therapeutic agents have been administered, but with mostly unsuccessful results. Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is an aerotolerant anaerobic gram-positive bacteria that causes acne and inflammation. After being engulfed and processed by phagocytes, P. acnes induces a strong Th1-type cytokine immune response by producing cytokines such as IL-12, IFN-γ and TNF-α. The characteristic Th2-mediated allergic response can be counteracted by Th1 cytokines induced by P. acnes injection. This inflammatory response induced by P. acnes has been suggested to have antitumor activity, but its effect on MM has not been fully evaluated.We analyzed the anti-tumor activity of P. acnes vaccination in a mouse model of MM. Intratumoral administration of P. acnes successfully protected the host against melanoma progression in vivo by inducing both cutaneous and systemic Th1 type cytokine expression, including TNF-α and IFN-γ, which are associated with subcutaneous granuloma formation. P. acnes-treated tumor lesions were infiltrated with TNF-α and IFN-γ positive T cells. In the spleen, TNF-α as well as IFN-γ producing CD8(+)T cells were increased, and interestingly, the number of monocytes was also increased following P. acnes administration. These observations suggest that P. acnes vaccination induces both systemic and local antitumor responses. In conclusion, this study shows that P. acnes vaccination may be a potent therapeutic alternative in MM.
