Carbon dioxide inhibits UVB-induced inflammatory response by activating the proton-sensing receptor, GPR65, in human keratinocytes
Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the predominant gas molecule emitted during aerobic respiration. Although CO2 can improve blood circulation in the skin via its vasodilatory effects, its effects on skin inflammation remain unclear.

| Sumario: | Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the predominant gas molecule emitted during aerobic respiration. Although CO2 can improve blood circulation in the skin via its vasodilatory effects, its effects on skin inflammation remain unclear. The present study aimed to examine the anti-inflammatory effects of CO2 in human keratinocytes and skin. Keratinocytes were cultured under 15% CO2, irradiated with ultraviolet B (UVB), and their inflammatory cytokine production was analyzed. Using multiphoton laser microscopy, the effect of CO2 on pH was observed by loading a three-dimensional (3D)-cultured epidermis with a high-CO2 concentration formulation. Finally, the effect of CO2 on UVB-induced erythema was confirmed. CO2 suppressed the UVB-induced production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in keratinocytes and the 3D epidermis. Correcting medium acidification with NaOH inhibited the CO2-induced suppression of TNFα and IL-6 expression in keratinocytes. Moreover, the knockdown of H+-sensing G protein-coupled receptor 65 inhibited the CO2-induced suppression of inflammatory cytokine expression and NF-κB activation and reduced CO2-induced cyclic adenosine monophosphate production. Furthermore, the high-CO2 concentration formulation suppressed UVB-induced erythema in human skin. Hence, CO2 suppresses skin inflammation and can be employed as a potential therapeutic agent in restoring skin immune homeostasis. |
