It has been reported that pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and panthenol, an alcohol derivative of pantothenic acid, have beneficial moisturizing effects on the skin. However, few studies have investigated the mechanism of action of pantothenic acid on skin tissues. We tried to clarify the role of pantothenic acid on skin function by using keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The depletion of pantothenic acid from the culture medium suppressed keratinocyte proliferation and promoted differentiation. Moreover, pantothenic acid depletion decreased the synthesis of keratinocyte growth factor and procollagen 4a2 in fibroblasts. These results suggest that pantothenic acid is essential for maintaining keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation.

Article Synopsis
- * The diagnosis of PKAN relies on clinical observations, a specific brain MRI finding called the "eye of the tiger," and genetic testing for mutations in the pantothenate kinase 2 (PANK2) gene, which plays a crucial role in coenzyme A (CoA) production.
- * Research shows that combining multitarget supplements (like pantothenate, pantethine, omega-3, and vitamin E) with standard
Potential Biomarkers for Neurobrucellosis Diagnosis and Treatment Based on Cerebrospinal Fluid Metabolomics Analysis.
Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom
February 2025
Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, Hohhot, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Zhenzhu Tongluo pills (ZZTL) have shown potential neuroprotective effects for treating neurobrucellosis (NB) in Inner Mongolia, but the specific mechanisms are not well understood.
- - Through LC-MS analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, 225 common metabolites were identified between NB patients and control subjects, with notable changes indicating dysregulation in purine metabolism and vitamin B deficiencies in NB patients that were reversed by ZZTL therapy.
- - This study suggests that analyzing CSF metabolomics can help distinguish NB patients from healthy controls, offering useful insights for diagnosis and treatment strategies.
