- Abstract
Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin disease associated with the dysfunction of vascular and immunological systems. Treatment options for rosacea are difficult to implement. Oroxylin A(OA), a traditional Chinese medicine, has anti-inflammation effects in a variety of inflammatory diseases. However, it is not known that whether OA exerts protective effects against LL-37-induced rosacea. In this study, bioinformatics analyses showed that the mechanisms of rosacea and the pharmacological targets of OA were highly overlapped. Subsequently, it was shown that the administration of OA resulted in a notable amelioration of rosacea-like skin lesions, as evidenced by a reduction in immune cell infiltration, modulation of cytokine production, and inhibition of angiogenesis. Plus, it was shown that OA effectively suppressed the generation of ROS generated by LL-37, as well as the subsequent activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. To explore further, we found that OA inhibited LL-37-induced ROS production via SIRT3-SOD2 signaling pathway in keratinocytes. Based on the aforementioned evidence, it can be inferred that OA exhibits a mitigating effect on the inflammatory response in rosacea by modulating the SIRT3-SOD2-NF-κB signaling pathway., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
