Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Interest in the impact of nutrition in dermatology is rapidly increasing as patients and colleagues are continuously looking for robust evidence capable of driving their therapeutic suggestions. At the same time, few studies in dermatology are focused on the nutritional aspect, and most do not even record diet-related information.

Recently the literature has reflected the field’s increasing recognition that diet can have an immunomodulatory effect on inflammatory dermatoses and oral diseases, and diet’s therapeutic effect should be further evaluated in synergy with in-label drugs. Thus, this Special Issue aims to publish high-quality articles in dermatology that improve or summarize the overall physiological and pathological evidence regarding diet and skin.

This Special Issue will address topics including but not limited to:

  • All aspects related to the role, direct or indirect, of nutrition and skin/oral mucosa;
  • Clinical trials or interventional studies in healthy individuals or dermatology patients;
  • Metanalyses and systematic reviews investigating the impact of diet on currently approved dermatological/oral therapies, nutrients’ role in skin homeostasis, gut microbiome influence on skin dynamics, etc.;
  • Observational studies investigating the immunomodulatory effect of different diet regimens;
  • Studies investigating the role of diet in inflammation and health;
  • COVID-19-related changes of dietary behavior and its impact on dermatology patients;
  • In vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo studies focusing on diet’s contribution to skin and mucosal homeostasis;
  • Omics-based studies capable of shedding light on diet-induced biochemical modifications of skin and mucous biology in health and disease.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tooth loss due to inflammation and the loss of alveolar bone. Periodontitis is closely related to various systemic diseases and is emerging as a global health problem. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in vitro on Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) LPS-activated RAW264.7 and human gingival fibroblasts-1 (HGF-1) cells and the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of LAB on RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells. All LAB strains (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus MG4706, MG4709, and MG4711) inhibited nitric oxide (NO)/inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in P. gingivalis LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-8 and MMP-9) in HGF-1 cells. In addition, LAB treatment inhibited osteoclastogenesis by reducing tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity and cathepsin K (CtsK) through the downregulation of nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) and c-fos gene expression in RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells. Administration of MG4706 alleviated alveolar bone loss indices and reduced the gene expression of IL-1β, IL-6, MMP-8, MMP-9, and RANKL/OPG ratio in gingival tissue. In conclusion, L. rhamnosus MG4706 has the potential to alleviate periodontitis. Full article

Ceramides plays a crucial role in maintaining skin barrier function. Although foregoing evidence supported beneficial effects of topical ceramides for restoration of the skin barrier, studies on oral ceramides are extremely scarce, with most published data collected from in vivo and in vitro models. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of rice ceramides (RC) supplementation to improve skin barrier function and as a depigmenting agent through comprehensive clinical assessments. This study investigated the beneficial effects of orally administered RC supplementation in 50 voluntary participants. Skin hydration, firmness and elasticity, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), melanin index (MI), erythema index (EI), sebum production, pH, and wrinkle severity were assessed at baseline and during monthly follow-up visits. RC supplementation was found to significantly (p < 0.01) improve skin hydration, sebum production, firmness and elasticity, and wrinkle severity for three assessed areas, namely the left cheek, dorsal neck, and right inner forearm. Additionally, RC significantly (p < 0.01) reduced the rates of TEWL, levels of MI and EI. Analyses of data indicated that participants at older age were more responsive towards the effect of RC supplementation. Our findings suggest that RC supplementation can effectively improve skin barrier function, reduce wrinkle severity, and reduce pigmentation. Full article

Acne vulgaris is diagnosed in the majority of adolescents, decreasing their quality of life, while the diet may influence its aetiology in a gender-dependent manner. The aim of the study was to analyse associations between nutritional behaviours and acne-related quality of life in a population of Polish male adolescents. The study was conducted on a population of Polish secondary school adolescents (a studied sample of 925 adolescents), while the random quota sampling procedure of secondary schools was applied. To assess acne-related quality of life, the Acne Quality of Life (AQoL) Scale and Acne Disability Questionnaire (ADQ) were applied, while the Social Quality of Life (SOCQOL) Score and Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) were calculated. To assess the diet, an Acne-specific Food Frequency Questionnaire (Acne-FFQ) was applied. Neither for the ADQ results, nor for the CADI calculated on the basis of ADQ, was there an association with dietary intake (p > 0.05). The results of the SOCQOL Score (calculated on the basis of AQoL) were positively correlated with the intake of fish (p = 0.0085; R = 0.1144), salty snacks (p = 0.0495; R = 0.0854), and non-chocolate confectionary (p = 0.0078; R = 0.1156). In a group of respondents declaring any acne-related quality of life problems in AQoL, while compared with those declaring no such problems, higher intakes of dairy beverages other than milk (p = 0.0063), white bread (p < 0.0001), other white cereal products (p < 0.0001), fast foods (p = 0.0006), salty snacks (p < 0.0001), chocolate confectionary (p < 0.0001), and other confectionary (p < 0.0001), but lower intake of wholegrain bread (p = 0.0084) were observed. It may be concluded that acne-related quality of life is associated with dietary intake in a population of Polish male adolescents. In the studied population, the most prominent influencing factors were salty snacks and non-chocolate confectionary, with both of them having a proacnegenic effect. Full article

Over the last few decades, studies on the oral microbiome have increased awareness that the balance between the host and the microbial species that coexist in it is essential for oral health at all stages of life. However, this balance is extremely difficult to maintain, and many factors can disrupt it: general eating habits, sugar consumption, tobacco smoking, oral hygiene, and use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials. It is now known that alterations in the oral microbiota are responsible for developing and promoting many oral diseases, including periodontal disease. In this context, diet is an area for further investigation as it has been observed that the intake of particular foods, such as farmed animal meat, dairy products, refined vegetable oils, and processed cereals, affects the composition of the microbiota, leading to an increased representation of acid-producing and acid-tolerant organisms and periodontal pathogens. However, little is known about the influence of diet on the oral microbiome and the creation of a suitable microenvironment for the development of periodontal disease. The aim of the present study is to evaluate current knowledge on the role of diet in the oral dysbiosis underlying periodontal disease. Full article
