Symbiotic microorganisms: prospects for treating atopic dermatitis.

Expert Opin Biol Ther

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease. The pathogenesis is unclear but may be related to genetic, immune, and environmental factors and abnormal skin barrier function. Symbiotic microorganisms in the gut and on the skin are associated with AD occurrence.

Areas Covered: We discuss the metabolism and distribution of intestinal and skin flora and review their relationship with AD, summarizing the recent applications of intestinal and skin flora in AD treatment, and discussing the prospect of research on these two human microbiota systems and their influence on AD treatment. The PubMed database was searched to identify relevant publications from 1949 to 2020 for the bibliometric analysis of atopic dermatitis and symbiotic microorganisms.

Expert Opinion: Many studies have suggested a potential contribution of microbes in the intestine and on the skin to AD. Bacteria living on the skin can aggravate AD by secreting numerous virulence factors. Moreover, the metabolism of intestinal flora can influence AD occurrence and development via the circulatory system. Current evidence suggests that by regulating intestinal and skin flora, AD can be treated and prevented.

This study aims to explore the measurement agreement between direct and indirect health utility measures in four chronic dermatological conditions (atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, pemphigus, psoriasis). Outpatients survey data collected between 2015 and 2021 were analysed. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome measures included time trade-off (TTO), EQ-5D-5L and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).

The skin is a barrier that protects the human body against environmental factors (physical, including solar radiation, chemicals, and pathogens). The integrity and, consequently, the effective metabolic activity of skin cells is ensured by the cell membrane, the important structural and metabolic elements of which are phospholipids. Phospholipids are subject to continuous transformation, including enzymatic hydrolysis (with the participation of phospholipases A, C, and D) to free polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which under the influence of cyclooxygenases (COX1/2), lipoxygenases (LOXs), and cytochrome P450 (CYPs P450) are metabolized to various classes of oxylipins, depending on the type of PUFA being metabolized and the enzyme acting.
