Composition of human skin microbiome can be modulated Date: July 8, 2019 Source: Universitat Pompeu Fabra - Barcelona Summary: Scientists have demonstrated the use of … (2013). (2014). Recent advances in unlocking a key understanding of the cellular mechanisms through which the microbiota implement both the establishment and restoration of cutaneous homeostasis highlight three indispensable essential interactions (Figure 4): (i) antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) or other metabolites produced by reintroduction of a single of microbiota directly inhibit or kill pathogenic microorganisms (Nakatsuji et al., 2017, 2018; Williams et al., 2019); (ii) reintroduction of living microbiota induces keratinocytes and sebocytes to produce AMPs to shape microbial communities (Nagy et al., 2005, 2006; Naik et al., 2015); and (iii) reintroduction of a cocktail of microbiota has a synergistic effect on ameliorating the ecology of skin microbial communities (Paetzold et al., 2019). In follow-up studies, it was revealed that the colonization by S. aureus was almost completely eliminated, and clinical symptoms in AD severity declined by up to 30% when the product was applied twice a day for a week. Dialogue between skin microbiota and immunity. Baseline data on the mammalian skin microbiome elucidates which microorganisms are found on healthy skin and provides insight into mammalian evolutionary history. (2017) isolated the CoNS collected from the skin of normal and AD individuals using high-throughput screening for antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. Skin microbiome and skin disease: the example of rosacea. It is worth noting that initial attempts failed to consolidate the relationship between AV and the skin microflora. According to the top 10 most abundant ribotypes (RT) showing healthy and acne-specific associations, the three most abundant ribotypes (RT1, RT2, and RT3) had a similar relative abundance and evenly distributed in acne and normal pilosebaceous units (Fitz-Gibbon et al., 2013; O'Neill and Gallo, 2018). doi: 10.1016/j.jid.2016.11.045, Garmhausen, D., Hagemann, T., Bieber, T., Dimitriou, I., Fimmers, R., Diepgen, T., et al. doi: 10.1038/jid.2013.21, Fuller, J.

The human microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the corresponding anatomical sites in which they reside, including the skin, mammary glands, placenta, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung, saliva, oral mucosa, conjunctiva, biliary tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Epub 2019 Dec 25. Dis. Microflora are frequently (and more correctly) called the skin microbiota or the skin microbiome. As seen in healthy individuals, bacteria communities are the most abundant kingdom across time points and body sites for AD patients, whereas fungal communities are the least abundant and mainly Malassezia species, particularly Malassezia restricta and Malassezia globose (Findley et al., 2013; Chng et al., 2016; Oh et al., 2016). doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1610020, Sohn, E.

Recently, Paharik et al. 23, 2103–2114. For bacterial communities, investigation of AD flares demonstrated a decline in the total bacterial diversity and the dramatic increase in relative abundance of specific staphylococcal species S. aureus in the flare vs. the healthy (or post-flare) state (Figure 2). A recent comprehensive review proposes a new concept that AV may be a naturally developing, transient inflammatory interplay of adolescent facial skin with its new microbiota (C. acnes), replacing a state of previous skin homeostasis in childhood (Szegedi et al., 2019). N.O. Almost all adults are colonized with C. acnes, but only a minority suffer from acne. An adult human body has approximately 2 m2 of skin, and it contains about 10^12 numbers of bacteria. Normal Flora of Human Body Normal Flora of Skin. (2015). C. acnes predominates the microbiota of pilosebaceous units, accounting for up to 90%. (2016). The skin is an effective physical barrier against microbial invasion. Human commensals producing a novel antibiotic impair pathogen colonization. Atopic dermatitis. Are the skin products we're using hurting the cultivation of good bacteria? There is no doubt that the composition of the skin microbiota can shift dramatically during the disease progression (Kong et al., 2012). Dermatol. J. 2016 Mar 30;12(512):660-4. Notably, apart from being only a potential source of disease and contamination, the skin microbiota also contributes to the protective functions of the human skin in many ways. Rev. On the other hand, shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides much higher resolution to differentiate species-, strain- and even single-nucleotide variant (SNV)-level diversification, as all genetic material in the sample is simultaneously sequenced (Oh et al., 2014, 2016; Grogan et al., 2019). Furthermore, it is not clear how microbiome transplantation shapes microbial communities on diseased skin via cell-to-cell communication, but the complexity of communication from intraspecies to interkingdom dense network does play an important role in maintaining homeostasis of the cutaneous ecosystem.

In contrast to bacterial communities, fungi of the genus Malassezia are found throughout the body (Oh et al., 2014) but predominated at oily sites such as the face and back (Findley et al., 2013). Dermatol. The skin’s relatively dry environment and normal microbiota discourage colonization by transient microbes. Atopic dermatitis. These are consistent with the results obtained from the strain-level distribution of C. acnes. Moreover, not all strains of one species have antimicrobial activity, and the ability of inhibiting microbiota between active strains are different (Williams et al., 2019). Characterization of microbiome and human host from three cohorts of microbiome-associated conditions, using multiple 'omics technologies. The balance of metagenomic elements shapes the skin microbiome in acne and health. The aim of this chapter is to sum up important progress in the field of human skin microbiota research that was achieved over the last years.The human skin is one of the largest and most versatile organs of the human body.

As a result, the novel concept of restoring the composition and functionality of the skin microbiota to the previous indigenous state by targeted manipulation of the skin microbiota, on the basis of the skin ecosystem, has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach in the last few years (Paetzold et al., 2019; Stacy and Belkaid, 2019). doi: 10.1038/nrmicro.2017.157, Byrd, A. L., Deming, C., Cassidy, S. K. B., Harrison, O. J., Ng, W. I., Conlan, S., et al. The human skin is densely colonized by a highly diverse microbiota comprising all three domains of life. For example, the appearance of AD has been tightly associated with dysbiosis in the skin microbiota (Kobayashi et al., 2015). Colonization is driven by the ecology of the skin surface, which is highly variable depending on topographical location, endogenous host factors a … Notably, dendritic cells (DCs) extend their dendrites into the stratum corneum to acquire microbial antigens and active T cells to release cytokines. The microbiome in patients with atopic dermatitis. (2019) applied the CoNS strains collected from human subjects to identify the molecular mechanism for the effects of S. aureus on the epidermal barrier disruption in the development of AD and further determine how dysbiosis on the skin surface permits the bacteria to induce inflammation.

A novel enzyme with antioxidant capacity produced by the ubiquitous skin colonizer Propionibacterium acnes. Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of environmental and public health concerns and contribute to adverse skin attributes such as premature skin aging and pigmentary disorder. At present, reintroduction of living microbiota (a single or cocktail of microbiota) to modulate skin microbiota composition from disease microbiota states to healthy ones may represent a valid target for ecology-based therapy (Stacy and Belkaid, 2019). Cleanliness in context: reconciling hygiene with a modern microbial perspective. Invest. Two phase 3 trials of dupilumab versus placebo in atopic dermatitis. Subsequently, Gallo et al. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the bacteria present on the surface of the skin are carried out on samples with the SW Kit. Moving forward, it is clear that the technique of skin microbiome transplantation is only at the initial stages. Four most prominent bacterial taxa (Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria) and the Staphylococcaceae (a Firmicute) are found on the surface of healthy skin. Until recently, the diversity of the cutaneous microbiota was mainly investigated for bacteria through culture based assays subsequently confirmed by molecular techniques. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2016.04.008, Oh, J., Conlan, S., Polley, E.

For instance, an AIP from a CoNS species found on human skin can suppress the growth of S. aureus by interspecies agr quorum sensing mechanisms to protect against epidermal injury in AD, and application of a synthetic AIP to mouse skin colonized with S. aureus inhibited agr activity (Williams et al., 2019). Moreover, the severity of acne caused by C. acnes is typically strain specific (Allhorn et al., 2016). doi: 10.1111/j.0022-202X.2005.23705.x, Naik, S., Bouladoux, N., Linehan, J. L., Han, S.

Topographic diversity of fungal and bacterial communities in human skin. The skin represents the exterior interface between the human body with the environment while providing a home to trillions of the commensal microorganisms—collectively referred to as the skin microbiota. Our bodies share a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microbes including bacteria, fungi, mites, and viruses.Together, they make up the microbiome, which resides in particular areas of the body such as the skin and gut [1].. J. Bacteriol. In view of this, the analysis of skin microbiota constituents in skin diseases is crucial for defining the role of commensal microbes and treatment of skin diseases. Dysbiosis in acne vulgaris (AV) is characterized by a decrease in the proportion of C. acnes strains RT6 and the significant increase in the proportion of C. acnes strains RT4, RT5, RT7, RT8, RT9, and RT10. doi: 10.1111/all.12112, Geoghegan, J.  |  Pheromone cross-inhibition between Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The skin microflora are microorganisms that are resident on our skin. Findley et al. However, its expansion in certain contexts is able to counteract promptly the equilibrium state (Parlet et al., 2019), ultimately resulting in several skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD) (Kobayashi et al., 2015) and systemic lupus erythematosus (Conti et al., 2016).

Syst. The skin condition is clinically characterized by intense pruritus, relapsing eczematous lesions, and a fluctuating course (Eyerich et al., 2015; Geoghegan et al., 2018), whose manifestations not only have a substantial effect on quality of life by sleep deprivation and profoundly diminished self-esteem (Simpson et al., 2016; Weidinger et al., 2018) but also increase the risk of infection and other atopic disorders (Thaçi et al., 2016). The human skin microbiome. As such, these flares in eczema patients are thought to be driven by S. aureus skin colonization and exacerbating eczema flare-ups are associated with an increase in the number of S. aureus on affected region and a decrease in S. epidermidis that produce S. aureus-targeting bacteriocins. Med. Nakatsuji et al. Therefore, defeating the microbes in competition might contribute to treating the cutaneous disorder. Because the human skin microbiota plays an important role in the production of body odours and is attractive to A. gambiae when grown on agar plates, a correlation between skin microbiota composition and a person's attractiveness to mosquitoes can be expected. Human AMPs (such as cathelicidins and β-defensins) are produced by keratinocytes and sebocytes to potentiate the skin resistance against pathogens. Rev. (2012). J. Dermatol. Dermatol. (2016). Commensal staphylococci influence Staphylococcus aureus skin colonization and disease. 2019 Feb 1;95(2):fiy241. In contrast to clonal S. aureus strain communities, AD patients' heterogeneous S. epidermidis strain communities in both flares and post-flares were composed of multiple different strains from diverse clades (Byrd et al., 2017). JAMA Dermatol. Dermatol. (2016). Bacteria. However, further research is needed to validate whether the dysbiosis caused by the loss of such strains elevates the risk of human skin cancer.

The immunology of the porcine skin and its value as a model for human skin. Malassezia leverages the lipids of sebum and the stratum corneum to generate their own lipids in the carbohydrate-deficient and lipid-rich skin setting (Scharschmidt and Fischbach, 2013), which concurs with an enrichment of lipase genes and a depletion of carbohydrate-utilizing enzyme genes in Malassezia spp. Atopic dermatitis: the skin barrier and beyond. The interspecies interaction largely depends on antimicrobial CoNS strains producing novel AMPs (such as lantibiotic, bacteriocin, and lugdunin) and synergizing with microbiota-produced AMPs and the human AMP LL-37 or/and DCD-1(L) to selectively kill or inhibit S. aureus (Figure 4; Lee et al., 2008; Nakatsuji et al., 2017; Bitschar et al., 2019).
