The Role of Epidermis and Lipids of Stratum Corneum in Skin Barrier Function of Guinea Pig

Abstract
|
|
|
Stratum corneum plays a role of protective barrier and its protective function mainly depends on the lipids of stratum corneum. Many kinds of skin disease develop when toxic materials are impacted on the skin of which barrier function is already
disturbed by various insults.
In order to investigate the role of epidermis and lipids of stratum corneum were evaluated in the white guinea pig skin of various conditions conditions including normal(group A), removal of skin(group B), removal of stratum corneum(group C),
single
application of solvent(group D), eight consecutive applications of solvent(group E) and correction group of percutaneous absorption(group F). Percutaneous absorption was determined by indirect method of measuring the radioactivity in urine for 5
days
following topical application of C14-hydrocortisone in group A, B, C, D and E. Lipids of stratum corneum were evaluated by high performance thin layer chromatography and laser densitometer in group A, D and E.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. Patterns of percutaneous absorption of C14-hydrocortisone in each group for 5 days were different(P<0.05). Especially on day 1, absorbed doses(%) of C14-hydrocortisone of group B(34.1*14.0) and group C(25.1* 15.2) were increased
statistically
than the absorbed doses of group A(0.9*0.2), D(0.8*0.2) and E(1.0*0.4( (P<0.05). Absorbed doses of each group were not different on day 2 to day 5.
2. The major group of lipid is statum corneum of normal guinea pig was the sphingolipids, which comprise 37.7*2.5% of the total lipid and then free sterol comprise 22.8*3.0%, sterol ester 12.6*1.1%, free fatty acids 9.7*2.2%, triglyceride
8.5*1.1%,
phospholipids 6.8*1.7% and cholesterol sulfate comprise 2.1*2.6% of total lipid.
3. Lipid composition of group D was not different form group A, but lipid composition of group E was different from group A and D. Sphingolipids of group E(72.3*28.0), expressed as arbitrary unit, increased statistically than sphingolipids of
group
A(25.8*4.2) and D(21.8*6.7) (P<0.05). but the other lipid components of group E were not different from those of group A and D.
