Abstract

Findings from large epidemiologic studies indicate that there is a link between smoking and extrinsic skin ageing. We previously reported that matrix metalloproteinases (MMP s) mediate connective tissue damage in skin exposed to tobacco smoke extracts. Tobacco smoke contains more than 3800 constituents, including numerous water‐insoluble polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH s) that trigger aryl hydrocarbon receptor (A h R) signalling pathways. To analyse the molecular mechanisms involved in tobacco smoke–induced skin ageing, we exposed primary human fibroblasts and keratinocytes to tobacco smoke extracts. Hexane‐ and water‐soluble tobacco smoke extracts significantly induced MMP‐1 m RNA in both human cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes in a dose‐dependent manner. To clarify the involvement of the A h R pathway, we used a stable A h R‐knockdown H a C a T cell line. A h R knockdown abolished the increased transcription of the A h R‐dependent genes CYP 1 A 1/CYP 1 B 1 and MMP‐1 induced by either of the tobacco smoke extracts. Furthermore, the tobacco smoke extracts induced 7‐ethoxyresorufin‐O‐deethylase activity, which was almost completely abolished by A h R knockdown. Likewise, treating fibroblasts with A h R pathway inhibitors, that is, the flavonoids 3‐methoxy‐4‐nitroflavone and α‐naphthoflavone, blocked the expression of CYP 1 B 1 and MMP‐1. These findings suggest that the tobacco smoke extracts induce MMP‐1 expression in human fibroblasts and keratinocytes via activation of the A h R pathway. Thus, the A h R pathway may be pathogenetically involved in extrinsic skin ageing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
