Lipid Signaling in Keratinocytes: Lipin-1 Plays a Part

    April 2016 in “ Journal of lipid research ”

    TLDR Lipin-1 is important for skin cell differentiation and skin barrier function.
    The document discussed the role of Lipin-1 in lipid signaling within keratinocytes, highlighting its crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism and signaling pathways in these skin cells. The study by Chae et al. (2016) revealed that Lipin-1 modulated PKC activity by controlling DAG levels, with knockdown of Lipin-1 leading to increased PA, decreased DAG, reduced PKC-α activity, and increased p21 levels, resulting in growth arrest and decreased differentiation markers keratins 1 and 10. Despite statistically significant findings, the effects were minor, possibly due to incomplete Lipin-1 knockdown. The study underscored the importance of Lipin-1 in lipid signaling and keratinocyte differentiation, suggesting further research using advanced models to fully understand its role and mechanisms.

      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.

      The conversation is about hair loss treatments, with users recommending finasteride and minoxidil as effective solutions. Some users report side effects, but overall, the consensus is to use these treatments rather than waiting for a cure.
