Improvement of Antioxidant Defences in Keratinocytes Grown in Physioxia: Comparison of 2D and 3D Models

Résumé

Keratinocytes prevent skin photoaging by ensuring the defence against oxidative stress, an excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). They are localized within the epidermis where the oxygen level (1-3% O2), named physioxia, is low compared to other organs. Oxygen is essential for life but also generates ROS. Most of the in vitro studies on keratinocyte antioxidant capacities are performed under atmospheric oxygen, named normoxia, which is very far from the physiological microenvironment, thus submitting cells to an overoxygenation. The present study is aimed at investigating the antioxidant status of keratinocyte grown under physioxia in both 2D and 3D models. First, we show that the basal antioxidant profiles of keratinocytes display important differences when comparing the HaCaT cell line, primary keratinocytes (NHEK), reconstructed epidermis (RHE), and skin explants. Physioxia was shown to promote a strong proliferation of keratinocytes in monolayers and in RHE, resulting in a thinner epidermis likely due to a slowdown in cell differentiation. Interestingly, cells in physioxia exhibited a lower ROS production upon stress, suggesting a better protection against oxidative stress. To understand this effect, we studied the antioxidant enzymes and reported a lower or equivalent level of mRNA for all enzymes in physioxia conditions compared to normoxia, but a higher activity for catalase and superoxide dismutases, whatever the culture model. The unchanged catalase amount, in NHEK and RHE, suggests an overactivation of the enzyme in physioxia, whereas the higher amount of SOD2 can explain the strong activity. Taken together, our results demonstrate the role of oxygen in the regulation of the antioxidant defences in keratinocytes, topic of particular importance for studying skin aging. Additionally, the present work points out the interest of the choice of both the keratinocyte culture model and the oxygen level to be as close as possible to the in situ skin.
