Lipid Droplets And Associated Proteins In Sebocytes

    November 2015 in “ Experimental Cell Research ”

    TLDR Sebum from sebocytes is important for skin health and linked to conditions like acne and hair loss.
    The document discussed the role of lipid droplets (LDs) and associated proteins in sebocytes, the cells in sebaceous glands responsible for lipid production. It highlighted the importance of proteins like histone H3, perilipins (PLIN1 to PLIN5), and the CIDE family (CIDEA, CIDEB, CIDEC) in lipid metabolism and storage. The studies revealed that deficiencies in CIDE proteins led to decreased triglyceride storage and increased lipolysis, causing lean phenotypes. However, research was limited by inadequate in vitro models for sebaceous differentiation, as current cell lines do not fully replicate the three-dimensional structure of sebaceous glands in vivo.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

      A user shared their initial experiences with The Ordinary hair density serum, which contains Redensyl (taxifolin). They observed increased hair volume but also developed pimples, likely due to the serum stimulating sebaceous glands.

      The post and conversation discuss the link between DHT (a hormone), scalp itchiness, and hair loss. Some users share their experiences and treatments, including the use of fluconazole, corticosteroids, and ketoconazole shampoo, with one user suspecting minoxidil as a potential cause of their symptoms.
