Newest firstAirborne particulate matter (PM) is a major environmental pollutant that accelerates skin aging, inflammation, and barrier impairment. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid derived from Cannabis sativa, has shown anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects, yet its role in protecting full-thickness human skin from pollution-induced damage remains unclear. In this study, human full-thickness ex vi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabinol (CBN) is a secondary metabolite of cannabis whose beneficial activity on inflammatory diseases of human skin has attracted increasing attention. Here, we sought to investigate the possible modulation by CBN of the major elements of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), in both normal and lipopolysaccharide-inflamed human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). CBN was found to increase the expression of cannabinoid re…
Background:Cannabis sativa L. (C. sativa) has a long history of medicinal use. Its inflorescences contain bioactive compounds like non-psychotropic cannabidiol (CBD), which is well known for its anti-inflammatory potential in skin conditions such as psoriasis, and psychotropic Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Keratinocytes, the main cells in the epidermis, are crucial for regulating skin inflammation by producing m…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Chronic inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and chronic wounds, affect nearly two billion people worldwide, impose substantial morbidity and economic burden, and remain only partially controlled by existing therapies. The cutaneous endocannabinoid system (ECS), comprising cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and their metabolic enzymes, regulates inflammation,…
Open article record in new tab ↗Ceramides, a class of sphingolipids containing a backbone of sphingoid base, are the most important and effective structural component for the formation of the epidermal permeability barrier. While ceramides comprise approximately 50% of the epidermal lipid content by mass, the content is substantially decreased in certain inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), causing improper barrier functio…
Canine atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial allergic disease associated with immune and abnormal skin barrier dysfunction and it is one of the primary causes of pruritus. Using a novel in vitro model of AD, here we tried to revert the alteration of transcriptional regulation of AD canine key genes testing a nutraceutical mixture containing flavonoids, stilbene, and cannabinoids, which are already well-known…
Open article record in new tab ↗Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is an established animal model for allergic contact dermatitis. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the sensitization phase of CHS by initiating T cell responses to topically applied haptens. The cannabinoid receptors 1 (CB1) and 2 (CB2) modulate DC functions and inflammatory skin responses, but their influence on the capacity of haptenized DCs to induce CHS is still unkn…
