Inflammation and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the structural and functional modifications leading to skin ageing.

The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of pro-inflammatory markers and ECM molecules in human dermal fibroblasts derived from young and middle-aged women and the effects of lactose-modified chitosan (Chitlac®, CTL), alone or in combination with mid-MW hyaluronan (HA), using an in vitro model of inflammation. To assess the response of macrophage-induced inflamed dermal fibroblasts to HA and CTL, changes in cell viability, pro-inflammatory mediators, MMPs and ECM molecules expression and intracellular ROS generation are analysed at gene and protein levels.

Abstract

Inflammation and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the structural and functional modifications leading to skin ageing. The reduction of inflammation, cellular oxidation and dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) alterations may prevent the ageing process. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of pro-inflammatory markers and ECM molecules in human dermal fibroblasts derived from young and middle-aged women and the effects of lactose-modified chitosan (Chitlac®, CTL), alone or in combination with mid-MW hyaluronan (HA), using an in vitro model of inflammation. To assess the response of macrophage-induced inflamed dermal fibroblasts to HA and CTL, changes in cell viability, pro-inflammatory mediators, MMPs and ECM molecules expression and intracellular ROS generation are analysed at gene and protein levels. The expression of pro-inflammatory markers, galectins, MMP-3 and ECM molecules is age-related. CTL, HA and their combination counteracted the oxidative damage, stimulating the expression of ECM molecules, and, when added to inflamed cells, restored the baseline levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, GAL-1, GAL-3 and MMP-3. In conclusion, HA and CTL mixture attenuated the macrophage-induced inflammation, inhibited the MMP-3 expression, exhibited the anti-oxidative effects and exerted a pro-regenerative effect on ECM.
