Ageing is a natural process that affects all tissues and organs in the human body, including the skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body and serves as a protective barrier between the internal and external environments. Primary human dermal fibroblasts are the most abundant cells in the dermis and play a crucial role in skin ageing. The significance of studying the effect of ageing on primary human dermal fibroblasts lies in the potential to develop interventions that can delay or reverse the signs of ageing.
Understanding the changes that occur in primary human dermal fibroblasts as a result of ageing is critical for the development of interventions that can delay or reverse the signs of skin ageing and improve skin health and quality of life. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of primary human dermal fibroblasts as a tool for studying skin ageing and developing new interventions. This article will discuss the changes that occur in primary human dermal fibroblasts as a result of ageing, including changes in gene expression, proliferation, and ECM production. It will also highlight the different perspectives and theories on the mechanisms that contribute to skin ageing, including oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. By understanding the mechanisms that contribute to skin ageing, we can develop targeted interventions that can improve skin health and quality of life for people of all ages.
Changes in gene expression
Primary human dermal fibroblasts undergo changes in gene expression as they age, resulting in altered cell behaviour and function. Studies have shown that there is a downregulation of genes that are involved in cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair mechanisms in aged fibroblasts. Additionally, there is an upregulation of genes that are associated with inflammation and the production of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes. These changes in gene expression contribute to the development of skin ageing characteristics such as wrinkle formation, thinning of the skin, and loss of elasticity.
Proliferation
In the context of primary human dermal fibroblasts, proliferation refers to the process of cell division and replication, leading to an increase in the number of fibroblast cells. Fibroblasts are responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skin, which includes collagen, elastin, and other structural components. Proliferation plays a critical role in the repair and regeneration of damaged skin tissue.
One of the hallmarks of ageing in primary human dermal fibroblasts is a decrease in cell proliferation. As cells age, their ability to divide and replicate diminishes, resulting in a decrease in the number of cells in the skin. This decrease in cell proliferation contributes to the thinning of the skin, which is a characteristic of skin ageing.
Scientists have conducted studies to understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to decreased proliferation in fibroblasts during ageing. These studies have identified various molecular pathways and signalling molecules involved in regulating cell proliferation, such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and growth factors. By targeting these pathways, researchers hope to develop interventions that can stimulate fibroblast proliferation and improve skin health during ageing.
Extracellular matrix secretion
As primary human dermal fibroblasts age, they undergo a decrease in ECM production and secretion, which contributes to the development of skin ageing characteristics. Studies have shown that the activity of fibroblasts decreases with age, resulting in a decreased production of ECM components. Collagen production in aged fibroblasts is reduced, leading to a decreased density and altered organization of collagen fibres in the skin. Elastin production also decreases with age, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity.
In addition to the decrease in ECM secretion, several mechanisms contribute to skin ageing. One of the most widely accepted theories is the oxidative stress theory. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as a byproduct of cellular metabolism, and their accumulation can lead to oxidative stress and cellular damage. Oxidative stress is thought to contribute to skin ageing by damaging cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. This damage can result in cellular senescence, which is the state of irreversible growth arrest that occurs in cells that have undergone extensive proliferation.
Mechanisms that contribute to skin ageing:
Skin ageing is a complex and multifactorial process that is influenced by a variety of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Several mechanisms contribute to skin ageing, including oxidative stress, telomere shortening, and mitochondrial dysfunction, which we will discuss in more detail below.
Oxidative stress is one of the most widely accepted theories of skin ageing. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as a byproduct of cellular metabolism, and their accumulation can lead to oxidative stress and cellular damage. ROS can damage cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and lipids, leading to cellular senescence and apoptosis. Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible growth arrest that occurs in cells that have undergone extensive proliferation, and it contributes to the development of skin ageing characteristics such as wrinkles and sagging.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is another mechanism that contributes to skin ageing. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells, generating energy through oxidative phosphorylation. However, as mitochondria age, they accumulate damage to their DNA, proteins, and lipids, resulting in decreased energy production and increased ROS production. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to skin ageing by reducing energy availability, leading to decreased ECM production and increased inflammation.
Conclusion:
The effect of ageing on primary human dermal fibroblasts is a complex process that involves changes in gene expression, cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix secretion. These changes contribute to the development of skin ageing characteristics such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms that contribute to skin ageing and to develop interventions that can delay or reverse the signs of ageing. Understanding the effect of ageing on primary human dermal fibroblasts is essential for advancing the field of dermatology and improving the quality of life for individuals as they age.
