Abstract
-
Chlorophyllin (CHL), a chlorophyll-derivative, exhibits several
beneficial properties, including antibacterial, antioxidant,
and anticancer activities. However, its antibacterial and
anti-inflammatory activities against Propionibacterium acnes
have not been described. The antibacterial activity of this compound
was evaluated in vitro using the broth microdilution
method
. CHL had an inhibitory effect on the growth of P.
acnes (MIC = 100 μM). In a real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase
chain reaction and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay, CHL significantly decreased interleukin-8
(IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)
production in a dose-dependent manner, decreasing both
mRNA and protein levels for these chemokines in THP-1
cells indicating the anti-inflammatory effects of it. To investigate
the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory
properties of CHL in THP-1 cells stimulated
by P. acnes, we used western blotting to analyze the effect of
CHL on activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB. CHL inhibited
P. acnes-induced IL-8 and MCP-1 production via
blockade of NF-κB activation in THP-1 cells. Therefore,
based on these results, we suggest that CHL is a useful agent
to control the growth of P. acnes involved in acne inflammation
and prevent acne.

Abstract
-
While it is generally accepted that Propionibacterium acnes
is involved in the development of acne, other bacteria including
Staphylococcus epidermidis have also been isolated
from the acne lesion. The interaction between Lactobacillus
reuteri, a probiotic bacterium, and acnegenic bacteria is
unclear. This study examined the effects of L. reuteri on the
proliferation of P. acnes and S. epidermidis. Human-derived
L. reuteri strains (KCTC 3594 and KCTC 3678) and rat-derived
L. reuteri KCTC 3679 were used. All strains exhibited
significant inhibitory effects on the growth of P. acnes and
S. epidermidis. The proliferation of P. acnes was decreased
by 2-log scales after incubation with L. reuteri for 24 h. In
addition, the proliferation of S. epidermidis was decreased
by 3-log scales after incubation with L. reuteri for 24 h,
whereas the growth of L. reuteri was unaffected by P. acnes
or S. epidermidis. Among the L. reuteri strains examined, L.
reuteri KCTC 3679 had the strongest inhibitory effect on
the growth of P. acnes and S. epidermidis, followed by L.
reuteri KCTC 3594 and L. reuteri KCTC 3678. Interestingly,
reuterin, an antimicrobial factor, was produced only by L.
reuteri KCTC 3594. The most pronounced the antibacterial
activities of L. reuteri were attributed to the production of
organic acids. Overall, these results suggest that L. reuteri
may be a useful probiotic agent to control the growth of
bacteria involved in acne inflammation and prevent acne.

Abstract
-
The in vitro antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant Propionibacterium acnes of kaempferol isolated from the Impatiens balsamina alone and in combination with erythromycin or clindamycin antibiotics was investigated. The antibiotic combination effect against antibiotic-resistant P. acnes was studied by checkerboard test. Kaempferol and quercetin demonstrated antibacterial activities against P. acnes. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for both compounds were ≤32 μg/ml and ≤64 μg/ml for clindamycin-sensitive and-resistant P. acnes, respectively. The four combination formulations (kaempferol and either erythromycin or clindamycin; quercetin and either erythromycin or clindamycin) exhibited a synergic inhibition of P. acnes growth. The combination of kaempferol with quercetin showed an indifferent effect. The combination of clindamycin with kaempferol or quercetin showed a greater synergic effect than that of erythromycin with kaempferol or quercetin. Thus, these combinations demonstrated the potential to treat acne.

Abstract

Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) plays an important role in the disease pathogenesis of acne vulgaris, a disorder of pilosebaceous follicles, seen primarily in the adolescent age group. In the present study, the presence of antibodies against P. acnes (MTCC1951) were detected in acne patient (n=50) and disease free controls (n=25) using dot-ELISA and Western blot assay. The ability of P. acnes to induce proinflammatory cytokines by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), obtained from acne patients and healthy subjects, were also analysed. The patients (n=26) who were culture positive for skin swab culture, were found to have a more advanced disease and higher antibody titres (1:4000 to >1:16000) compared to the P. acnes negative patients (n=24) and normal controls (n=25). An analysis of patients' sera by western blot assay recognized a number of antigenic components of P. acnes, ranging from 29 to 205 kDa. The major reactive component was an approximately 96 kDa polypeptide, which was recognised in 92% (24 of 26) of the patients sera. Further, the P. acnes culture supernatant, crude cell lysate and heat killed P. acnes whole cells, obtained from 72-h incubation culture, were observed to be able to induce significant amounts of IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-[alpha]) by the PBMCs in both the healthy subjects and patients, as analysed by cytokine-ELISA. The levels of cytokines were significantly higher in the patients than the healthy subjects. A major 96 kDa polypeptide reactant was eluted from the gel and was found to cause dose dependent stimulation of the productions of IL-8 and TNF-[alpha]. Thus, the above results suggest that both humoral and pro-inflammatory responses play major roles in the pathogenesis of acne.
