July 2017 in “eLife” The study identified Type XVII collagen (COL17) as a crucial regulator of epidermal cell proliferation in the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) of both neonatal and aged mice. In neonatal mice, the absence of COL17 led to transient hyperproliferation due to disrupted Wnt signaling, which was reversible by replenishing COL17. In aged skin, loss of COL17 caused by inactive atypical protein kinase C signaling resulted in hyperproliferation, which could be suppressed by overexpressing human COL17. The research highlighted COL17's role in maintaining skin homeostasis and suggested its potential as a target for anti-aging treatments. However, the study faced limitations, including discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo results and a small sample size of patients with COL17A1 mutations, indicating a need for further investigation.
[object Object] The study investigated the role of Type XVII collagen (COL17) in the interfollicular epidermis (IFE), focusing on its potential as an anti-aging molecule and its regulation of proliferation through Wnt signaling. It was found that loss of COL17 led to hyperproliferation and altered Wnt signaling, with aging also reducing COL17 levels and causing similar effects. However, reviewers noted concerns about the strength of the link between Wnt signaling and the observed phenotype, the transient nature of hyperproliferation in mice compared to humans, and speculative discussions on COL17's role in oncogenesis. Discrepancies between in vivo and in vitro findings were highlighted, and further validation was suggested to clarify these observations before publication.
The study examined the role of Type XVII collagen (COL17) in the regulation of interfollicular epidermis (IFE) homeostasis and its connection to Wnt signaling, with implications for skin aging. It found that COL17 deficiency led to transient hyperproliferation in neonatal mice, which decreased over time, and suggested a potential anti-aging role for COL17. However, the study faced criticism for the weak link between Wnt signaling and the observed phenotype, the transient nature of hyperproliferation, and discrepancies between in vivo and in vitro findings. Despite its high quality, the study required further validation and additional experiments to strengthen its conclusions and clarify the role of COL17 in preventing oncogenesis.
