- the invention relates to the use of a hydrolyzate of the peel of immature fruits of Punica granatum for preventing and / or combating acne.
- the active principle according to the invention is capable of having a positive influence on these four biological components of acne.
- the active principle according to the invention is capable of acting on the various factors increasing sebogenesis.
- various endogenous (eg hormones, C. acnes, lipophagic activity) and exogenous (eg stress) factors the metabolism of the sebaceous glands is activated, characterized by quantitative and qualitative modifications of the sebum. This results in an increase in sebogenesis and consequently in an abnormally high production of sebum.
- the active principle according to the invention is also capable of acting on hyperkeratinization, another component of acne.
- Hyperkeratinization is an early biological event in the development of acne lesions. It is characterized by an abnormality of proliferation and keratinization of follicular keratinocytes favoring obstruction of the excretory duct, poor evacuation of sebum and consequently dilation of the pilosebaceous duct at the origin of the formation of a microcomedon.
- the active principle according to the invention also acts on inflammation, the third component of acne.
- Inflammation is the biological phenomenon concomitant with all the stages of the formation of acne lesions: microcomedon, comedo, inflammatory lesion, post-inflammatory erythema and even scar.
- the bacterium C. acnes plays an essential role in the appearance of inflammatory lesions. It stimulates the production of pro-inflammatory mediators by several cell types of the pilosebaceous unit (keratinocytes, sebocytes, immune cells infiltrating acne lesions).
- the active principle according to the invention has the capacity to act on the cutaneous microbiota of acne-prone skin.
- C. acnes The Cutibacterium acnes bacteria (C. acnes) is considered to be one of the major pathogenic factors contributing to the development of acne. Acne is characterized by a loss of phylotypic diversity of C. acnes in favor of the IA1 phylotype.
- the population of C. acnes phylotype IA1 has an ability to communicate and organize itself to set up virulence factors (eg formation of biofilms) via the quorum sensing system and thus colonize the follicle.
- the active principle according to the invention restores the homeostasis of acne-prone skin.
- the sebaceous glands are sensitive to androgens. They have the enzymatic equipment necessary for the metabolism of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and specific receptors for DHT. Stimulation of these receptors activates genes involved in the production of sebum.
- DHT dihydrotestosterone
- Stimulation of these receptors activates genes involved in the production of sebum.
- DHT dihydrotestosterone
- the number of receptors for DHT is increased in the acne sufferer as well as his sensitivity to DHT. This is why acne is considered "a peripheral hormonal disease".
- the active principle according to the invention inhibits the conversion of testosterone into DHT, and thus limits the excess of androgens involved in the pathophysiology of acne.
- Sebum is a substrate of choice for the growth of microorganisms contributing to the development of acne, such as C. acnes, it has been shown that C. acnes has an activity which stimulates lipogenesis. In acne, the hyperproliferative bacteria would be able to stimulate directly, or indirectly via soluble factors, the production of lipid droplets by the sebocytes. By this mechanism, C. acnes is able to aggravate hyperseborrhea, a major pathophysiological component of acne.
- the active principle according to the invention limits the secretion of lipids in the sebocytes.
- the active principle according to the invention inhibits the secretion of lipids induced by substance P or by the combination of C. acnes and substance P on sebocytes.
- the active principle according to the invention makes it possible to normalize the activity of the sebaceous gland, a key biological component of pathophysiology acne.
- the active principle according to the invention is also capable of acting on the hyperkeratinization which occurs in acne.
- Hyperkeratinization is an early biological event in the development of acne lesions. This is an abnormality in the proliferation and keratinization of the keratinocytes that line the wall of the follicle. It leads to an accumulation of corneocytes and obstruction of the excretory duct. These changes alter the normal evacuation of sebum causing retention and dilation of the pilosebaceous duct, causing the formation of a microcomedon. The latter is a preclinical lesion invisible to the naked eye characterized histologically by the distension of the wall of the follicle and which progressively progresses to the comedo.
- cytokeratin-16 CK-16
- Squalene a component of sebum, is the main source of peroxidized lipids in acne-prone skin. Beyond causing skin irritation, peroxidized squalenes exert a strong comedogenic power, colonization by C. acnes.
- C. acnes By colonizing the pilosebaceous duct, C. acnes is able to modify the biology of keratinocytes and influence their proliferation and differentiation.
- the bacterium stimulates the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the pilosebaceous follicle, in particular interleukin la (IL-la), a major factor in the appearance of hyperkeratinization.
- IL-la interleukin la
- this cytokine is capable of activating the genes encoding cytokeratins, in particular CK-16, but also of inducing the production of other keratins such as CK-5.
- studies have shown that C. acnes is able to exert a direct effect on the biology of keratinocytes and the formation of microcomedones.
- a hydrolyzate of the peel of immature fruits of Punica granatum according to the invention is capable of having an effect on the hyperkeratinization which occurs in acne.
- the active principle according to the invention is capable of:
- the active principle according to the invention is also capable of acting on the inflammation which occurs in acne.
- Inflammation is a fundamental process present throughout the development of acne lesions. Indeed, it is present from the early stages to the later stages of the pathology.
- C. acnes actively participates in the creation of an inflammatory environment.
- the bacteria By colonizing the pilosebaceous follicle, the bacteria play an essential role in triggering the inflammatory reaction and the appearance of inflammatory lesions. It stimulates the production of inflammation mediators by several cell types of the pilosebaceous unit.
- exogenous and endogenous factors such as hormones, stress, composition of sebum, etc., accentuate the inflammatory phenomenon.
- keratinocytes Several cell types of the pilosebaceous follicle are involved in these inflammatory mechanisms: keratinocytes, sebocytes but also immune cells infiltrating acne lesions.
- the modification of the composition of the sebum and in particular the peroxidation of squalenes influences the inflammatory state of the pilosebaceous follicle by stimulating the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-Ia by the keratinocytes.
- colonization of the pilosebaceous follicle by C. acnes leads to the production and secretion by the keratinocytes of numerous pro-inflammatory mediators:
- MMP2 - metalloproteinases
- the active principle according to the invention inhibits the secretion of chemokines, cytokines and metalloproteinases in reconstructed 3D epidermis mimicking acne-prone skin.
- Sebocyte inflammation [0126] Sebocyte inflammation.
- Acne is characterized by a change in the composition of the microenvironment of the sebaceous follicles inducing colonization and increased metabolic activity of C. acnes.
- the bacteria are able to induce an inflammatory response at the level of the sebocytes which produce numerous pro-inflammatory mediators.
- sebocytes secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, etc.) contributing to the inflammatory reaction observed in acne lesions.
- the secretion of these mediators confers on the sebocytes the capacity to promote the differentiation of the naive helper T lymphocytes into Th17, thus reinforcing the inflammatory phenomenon.
- the sebaceous gland is sensitive to negative emotions such as stress. It has been shown that acne patients exhibit increased innervation in the environment of the sebaceous glands indicating the existence of communication between the nervous and sebaceous systems.
- substance P as a neurotransmitter of inflammation in acne has so far been well described in the literature. It causes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, etc.) exacerbating the inflammatory environment of the sebaceous glands.
- an infiltrate of immune cells is present in the acne lesions, an infiltrate composed mainly of CD4 + helper T lymphocytes.
- Thl7 Thl7 lymphocytes contribute significantly to the inflammatory phenomenon.
- C. acnes has been shown to have the ability to induce differentiation of naive lymphocytes into Th17 lymphocytes.
- IL-17 interleukin 17
- the presence of IL-17 results in the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators by epithelial cells, such as IL-8 and CCL20, thereby exacerbating the inflammatory process.
- the appearance and exacerbation of the inflammatory phenomenon described in acne lesions therefore involves various protagonists and factors.
- the inflammatory mediators produced promote comedogenesis and then the rupture of the follicle leading to the appearance of inflammatory lesions.
- the active principle is capable of regulating the biology of LThl7 and of limiting the inflammation induced by these cells.
- a hydrolyzate of the peel of immature fruits of Punica granatum is capable of having an effect on the inflammation which occurs in acne.
- the active principle according to the invention is capable of:
- a marker of the pathophysiology of acne in particular by inhibiting the secretion of CCL5, of CCL20, of CXCL1, and by inhibiting the secretion of IL-Ia, of IL-8, and inhibiting the secretion of MMP2 and MMP9;
- the active principle according to the invention is capable of acting against C. acnes.
- Cutibacterium acnes is a major species of the cutaneous commensal flora, the preferred habitat of which is the pilosebaceous follicle. This bacteria is considered to be one of the major pathogenic factors contributing to the development of acne. Studies on C. acnes and its role in acne have brought to light new data and mechanisms explaining its virulence in pathology.
- the bacterial component is therefore an important parameter in the development of acne lesions. Targeting the bacterium C. acnes phylotype IA1 and reducing its virulence is an essential strategy to fight against this pathology.
- the active principle according to the invention limits the growth of the bacterium C. acnes phylotype IA1.
- the microcomedones constitute anaerobic microenvironments rich in lipids, favorable to the growth and establishment of C. acnes. Indeed, the latter can behave like an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium thanks to a mode of growth in biofilm.
- the biofilm is a heterogeneous structure made up of the bacterial population enclosed in an extracellular matrix of DNA, proteins and polysaccharides produced by it, all adhering to a surface. This biofilm growth gives bacteria specific properties of morphology, growth, communication and resistance to biocides in order to optimize their survival.
- QS quorum sensing
- the active principle according to the invention also exhibits an anti-bacterial effect against the bacteria which are involved in acne, in particular C. acnes of phylotype IA1.
- the direct anti-bacterial efficacy of the active principle according to the invention is real since it
- the active principle according to the invention is capable of targeting the four major components of the pathophysiology of acne. It normalizes the activity of the sebaceous gland. It also has keratolytic activity and controls colonization by C. acnes. It reduces the inflammatory sebocytic, keratinocyte and lymphocyte responses of the Thl7 type. Finally, it acts directly as an anti-bacterial by limiting the growth of C. acnes and by inhibiting quorum sensing and the formation of a bacterial biofilm. [0148] Its therapeutic efficacy has been clinically demonstrated on adult volunteers suffering from mild to moderate acne: the number of acne lesions is significantly reduced with a lower GEA score. This active ingredient improves the quality and appearance of acne-prone skin. It is a high-performance treatment combining speed of action and efficiency in the daily care of acne-prone skin.
- the invention relates to the use of an active principle comprising a hydrolyzate of the peel of immature pomegranate fruit on acne-prone skin for:
- the invention thus also relates to a non-therapeutic process, namely a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for treating the skin for an anti-acne effect, which consists in the topical application to the skin of a composition comprising a principle. active according to the invention.
