Description

Cultured human sebocytes exhibit morphological changes during growth, transitioning from flat and elongated cells with round nuclei to larger, roundish cells with abundant cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei as secondary colonies develop. While maintaining key sebocytic traits, these cells undergo incomplete terminal differentiation in vitro. They synthetize fatty acids without bacterial involvement, express interleukin 1α, and respond to androgens in a location-dependent manner. Androgen-induced sebocyte proliferation is inhibited by spironolactone, and these cells demonstrate strong type 1 5α-reductase expression, metabolizing testosterone. Hormones like insulin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and hydrocortisone stimulate proliferation, while retinoids inhibit proliferation, lipid synthesis, and differentiation, with isotretinoin as the most potent compound. Vitamin A proves crucial for sebocyte activity and differentiation, substitutable in part by synthetic retinoids.

Application

  • FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Human SebocytesHuman sebocytes serve as a valuable in vitro model for fundamental research into the function and regulation of sebaceous cells, as well as a tool for exploring treatments of sebaceous gland-related conditions like acne and seborrhea. With their application in various studies, these cells shed light on sebaceous gland activity and its cellular-level control. Moreover, they enable the evaluation of agents’ inhibitory effects on sebocyte activity, contributing to a deeper understanding of these conditions and potential therapeutic strategies.
