Potential roles of gut microbial tryptophan metabolites in the complex pathogenesis of acne vulgaris

Abstract: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease in which the influence of gut microbiota has been implicated but without clarification of mechanisms. Gut microbiota may exert such an influence via metabolites, particularly those of tryptophan. End metabolites of tryptophan activate receptors, including aryl hydrocarbon, G protein-coupled, and pregnane X receptors to stabilize the immune microenvironment and intestinal mucosal homeostasis. Any impact on the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris remains unclear. Th… Show more

“…38,40 For example, skin microbiota may play a regulatory role in local skin inflammation in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris or atopic dermatitis via metabolites of tryptophan metabolism. 41 The sequencing data correlates with the metabolomic analyses, showing modulation of the tryptophan pathway that may partly be due to the changes in the microbiota at the skin surface, especially species within the genus Malassezia. Based on sequencing analysis, a decrease of Malassezia was observed after SSR exposure in the absence of SPF50+ sunscreen.…”

“…Tryptophan metabolism end products may activate the immune system through binding to AhR, which is a ligand‐dependent transcription factor shown to have important roles in skin physiology and immune‐inflammatory diseases 38,40 . For example, skin microbiota may play a regulatory role in local skin inflammation in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris or atopic dermatitis via metabolites of tryptophan metabolism 41 …”

“…38 Increased intestinal probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium , may generate tryptophan-derived end metabolites which regulate sebum synthesis. 39 Interestingly, this bacterium only enriched after the intervention in group OT. Both the gut and skin possess extensive innervation and vascularization, as they are essential for immune and neuroendocrine functions.…”

“…28 Pathogenesis of acne is complex; in addition to the functional alterations of the sebaceous glands and the hormonal microenvironment [6], the inflammation caused by Cutibacterium acnes 29 and alterations of the intestinal microbiota could cause acne. 28 The last two aspects correlate with the role inflammation might have on prostate carcinogenesis. 7 Cutibacterium acnes has been isolated from prostate tissue (prostatectomy); compared to samples with benign hyperplasia, the frequency of this bacteria was higher in samples with prostate cancer.…”
