Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin disorders. However, the impact of IL-22 on microRNA (miRNA) expression in epidermal keratinocytes is unknown. Here we show that IL-22 induces miR-184 in reconstituted human epidermis (RHE) and in the HaCaT keratinocyte cell line. Exposure to IL-22 increased miR-184 expression 8- and 15-fold in RHE and HaCaT cells, respectively. Oncostatin M, an unrelated proinflammatory cytokine, also raised miR-184 expression in RHE and HaCaT keratinocytes. Pharmacologic and genetic inhibition demonstrated that cytokine-induced expression of miR-184 was mediated by signal transducer and activation of transcription 3 (STAT3). Argonaute 2 (AGO2), a member of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), is a predicted miR-184 target. Using protein, messenger RNA and reporter analyses, we found that miR-184 regulates the expression of AGO2. We conclude that cytokine-induced miR-184 attenuates AGO2 expression in keratinocytes.

A multimodal approach to assess the safety of oral care products using 2D and 3D cellular models.

Article Synopsis
- Periodontitis affects about 3.9 billion people and is linked to both oral health and potential systemic issues, leading to investigations into the safety of oral care products containing sodium perborate.
- The study tested the toxicity of six commercial products and sodium perborate on human cells using methods that included 2D and 3D cell cultures, with different exposure times.
- Findings revealed that while sodium perborate was toxic at high concentrations in 2D cultures, it was largely non-toxic in 3D models at lower concentrations, underlining the importance of testing methods in assessing product safety.
Design and Biocompatibility of Biodegradable Poly(octamethylene suberate) Nanoparticles to Treat Skin Diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Biodegradable POS nanoparticles (POS-NPs) can effectively encapsulate different drugs for treating skin disorders, with a focus on caffeine, quercetin, hydrocortisone, and adapalene.
- The size and charge of the nanoparticles varied significantly based on the drug used, affecting their stability and encapsulation efficiency.
- While some formulations, like hydrocortisone and caffeine, showed unsuitable skin penetration, adapalene had a high permeation rate and low toxicity in tests with reconstructed human epidermis.
The evaluation of skin sensitization potential of the UVCB substance diisopentyl phthalate by in silico and in vitro methods.

Diisopentyl phthalate (DiPeP) is primarily used as a plasticizer or additive within the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and has many additional industrial applications. Its metabolites were recently found in urinary samples of pregnant women; thus, this substance is of concern as relates to human exposure. Depending upon the nature of the alcohol used in its synthesis, DiPeP may exist either as a mixture consisting of several branched positional isomers, or as a single defined structure.

The objective of Safe-by-Design (SbD) is to support the development of safer products and production processes, and enable safe use throughout a materials' life cycle; an intervention at an early stage of innovation can greatly benefit industry by reducing costs associated with the development of products later found to elicit harmful effects. Early hazard screening can support this process, and is needed for all of the expected nanomaterial exposure routes, including inhalation, ingestion and dermal. In this study, we compare in vitro and ex vivo cell models that represent dermal exposures (including HaCaT cells, primary keratinocytes, and reconstructed human epidermis (RhE)), and when possible consider these in the context of regulatory accepted OECD TG for in vitro dermal irritation.

Keratinocytes prevent skin photoaging by ensuring the defence against oxidative stress, an excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). They are localized within the epidermis where the oxygen level (1-3% O), named physioxia, is low compared to other organs. Oxygen is essential for life but also generates ROS.
