Disease ⇒ Acne {40000267} Record Keys Type:Disease Parent:[ ] Definition:Acne Details Initialisation date:[ ] Other Terms:[ ] Meta Information MedDra ID:10000496 MedDra Level:pt ICD:[ ] Category:[ ] Zone:[ ] Mechanism:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Cutibacterium acnes, #Staphylococcus epidermidis] - Acne > increased #Actinobacteria followed by #Firmicutes and #Proteobacteria, #Cutibacterium,#Staphylococcus and #Corynebacterium. - C. acnes > major species in terms of mean abundance, followed by #Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) and #Staphylococcus hominis (S. hominis); [1.2] - An acneic #Cutibacterium acnes strain as well as its porphyrins activate NRLP3 inflammasome assembly, while this was not observed with a non-acneic strain. [1.3] [#Gender] - The men > a lower abundance of 18 microbes such as Butyricicoccus, Clostridium sensu stricto, Faecalibaculum, Bacillus, Lactococcus, Blautia, Clostridiales, Lachnospiracea incertae sedis, Ruminococcus at genus level > disordered metabolism of fatty acids. - The female patients > increased Clostridium sensu stricto and declined Oscillibacter and Odoribacterin > dysbiosis of amino acids metabolism [1.4] - #Lactobacilli can reduce acne lesions after daily application on the skin [1.5] [1.6] [#Omega 3] - After 10 weeks of omega-3 fatty acid or γ-#Linoleic acid supplementation, inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions decreased significantly. [1.7] - the taxa #Enhydrobacter and #Stenotrophomonas were positively associated with transepidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum hydration, respectively. [1.8] [#Psoriasis] [1.9] [#Antibiotic Therapy] - oral antibiotics for acne are a risk factor for new onset #Crohn’s disease [#Cutibacterium acnes] [#Antibiotic Therapy] - a strain of #Staphylococcus capitis (S. capitis E12) that selectively inhibited growth of C. acnes with potency greater than antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of acne. [1.11] - #Linoleic acid, a fatty acid required for acylceramide synthesis and essential for corneocyte lipid envelope formation. - This fatty acid is decreased in the epidermis in patients with ichthyosis, and acne-prone patients have low concentrations of #Linoleic acid and a relative lack of ceramide. [1.12] [#Reactive Oxygen Species] - #Propionibacteriaceae are Gram-positive, anaerobic rods associated with human infections, including corneal infections, and are often found in acne vulgaris patients. - Intradermal infections of #Propionibacteriaceae generate ROS and #Nitric Oxide and induce the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Since an imbalance of these ROS and antioxidative tear proteins favors the development of tear film instability [1.13] - the topical application of #Lactobacillus strains was shown to reduce inflammatory lesions related to acne, presumably through modulating the immune response [1.14] [#Psoriasis] [#Ultraviolet Exposure] References Notes[ ]
