Popis: Adiponectin is known to have beneficial effects on lipid and insulin metabolism, wound healing, and cellular senescence, but its effect on skin barrier formation remains unknown. We investigated the effects of adiponectin on keratinocyte lipid synthesis with respect to skin barrier function. Lipid staining revealed an adiponectin-mediated increase in keratinocyte intracellular and reconstructed epidermal lipid content. Moreover, significant increases in the levels of ceramide and its downstream metabolites (sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate) following adiponectin stimulation were detected using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Expression levels of keratinocyte differentiation markers were also increased. Adiponectin also increased expression of lipid biosynthesis enzymes (fatty acid synthase, HMG-CoA reductase, and serine palmitoyltransferase), nuclear hormone receptors (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and liver X receptors), and the adiponectin signal molecule SIRT1. Suppression of SIRT1, liver X receptor-α, or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α downregulated the expression of lipid synthetic enzymes, decreasing lipid content. Inhibition of adiponectin receptors decreased expression of nuclear hormone receptors, SIRT1, lipid-synthesizing enzymes, and sphingolipids. Thus, activation of adiponectin signaling increases the expression of transcription factors, including SIRT1, liver X receptor-α, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α, enhancing lipid synthesis and keratinocyte cell differentiation and possibly aiding in the maintenance of skin barrier homeostasis.
