Abstract

Ceramide, cholesterol and free fatty acids are the major intercellular lipids, maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier. However, the roles of these lipids in canine skin barrier function are little known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repairing effects of 2% ceramide (CER), 2% cholesterol (CHO), 2% linoleic acid (LIN) and 2% intercellular lipid mixture (ILM) on damaged canine skin barrier by 1.25% sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin pH and skin thickness were assessed. Histological profiles and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) profiles were assessed on day 12. SLS effectively induced the canine skin barrier damage. TEWL was significantly decreased by topical application of CER and ILM in SLS and vehicle-treated skin on day 8 and 12, respectively (p < 0.05, p < 0.0 I). By end of the experiment all lipids significantly decreased the TEWL as compared with SLS and vehicle control, but CER and ILM more significantly decreased the TEWL than UN and CHO, respectively (p < 0.01). Skin hydration was significantly increased by CER and ILM during experimental periods (p < 0.01). Skin pH was significantly decreased by CER, LIN and ILM. In histological profiles, the thickness of the stratum corneum (SC) was significantly increased by the SC lipids as compared with vehicle and SLS (p < 0.01). Especially, CER and ILM showed more prominent improvement of barrier recovery. In TEM of the SC, SLS induced exfoliations of corneodesmosomes in the SC, and CER and ILM effectively protected exfoliations of corneodesmosomes on SLS-damaged canine skin. These results indicated that topical application of CER and ILM dramatically improved damaged-skin barrier function by SLS. Also, it was considered that the use of CER or ILM was recommended for the management of skin barrier dysfunction by irritant and inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis.

세라마이드, 콜레스테롤, 자유지방산은 각질세포간 주요 지질로써 피부장벽의 생성과 유지에 있어 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나, 개에서 각질세포간 지질에 대한 역할은 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 개에서 1.25% sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS)에 의한 피부 장벽손상 유발후 2% 세라마이드, 2%콜레스테롤, 2% 리놀레익산과 이들 세가지 지질의 혼합제 (혼합제)의 장벽손상 복구를 평가하고자 실시하였다. 피부장벽기능은 표피경유수분소실(TEWL), 피부 수화도, 피부 산도, 피부 두께 측정을 통하여 평가하였고 최종적으로 조직학적 분석과 투과 전자 현미경 (TEM)을 통하여 피부 장벽구조를 평가하였다. SLS는 개의 피부에 효과적으로 피부장벽 손상을 유발하였다. 표피경유수분소실은 세라마이드와 혼합제 적용부위에서 계면활성제 및 대조군과 비교하여 유의적인 감소를 나타내었다 (p<0.05, p<0.01). 표피경유수분소실은 12일째에 모든 지질 적용군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나 특히 세라마이드와 혼합제에서 콜레스테롤과 리놀레익산보다 유의적으로 감소하였다 (p<0.01). 실험 기간 동안, 피부 수화도는 세라마이드와 혼합제에서 유의적 증가를 보였다 (p<0.01). 조직학적 분석에서도 각각의 지질들은 피부손상을 회복시켰다. 특히 세라마이드와 혼합제의 효과가 탁월하였고 각질층의 두께도 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 증가되었다. 피부 산도는 세라마이드, 리놀레익산, 혼합제에서 유의적으로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 따라서 세라마이드와 혼합제의 국소적용은 계면활성제에 의한 피부 장벽 손상에 효과가 탁월함을 확인하였으며 아토피와 같은 염증성 피부염과 외부 자극에 의한 피부 장벽 손상시에도 세라마이드 또는 혼합제의 병용이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.
