Abstract

The cutaneous lymphatic system in humans plays a crucial role in draining interstitial fluid and activating the immune system. Environmental factors, such as ultraviolet light and natural aging, often affect structural changes of such lymphatic vessels, causing skin dysfunction. However, some limitations still exist because of no alternatives to animal testing. To better understand the skin lymphatic system, a biomimetic microfluidic platform, skin-lymph-on-a-chip, was fabricated to develop a novel in vitro skin lymphatic model of humans and to investigate the molecular and physiological changes involved in lymphangiogenesis, the formation of lymphatic vessels. Briefly, the platform involved co-culturing differentiated primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs) in vitro. Based on our system, LymphanaxTM, which is a condensed Panax ginseng root extract obtained through thermal conversion for 21 days, was applied to evaluate the lymphangiogenic effect, and the changes in molecular factors were analyzed using a deep-learning-based algorithm. LymphanaxTM promoted healthy lymphangiogenesis in skin-lymphon-a-chip and indirectly affected HDELCs as its components rarely penetrated differentiated NHEKs in the chip. Overall, this study provides a new perspective on LymphanaxTM and its effects using an innovative in vitro system.

인체 피부 림프계는 간질액을 배출하고 면역 시스템을 활성화하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 자외선과 자연적인 노화와 같은 환경 요인들은 종종 이러한 림프관의 구조적 변화를 일으키며, 이로 인해 피부 기능 장애를 발생시키기도 한다. 그러나 이러한 연구를 위한 동물 실험 대체 방안이 없기 때문에 여전히 연구를 진행하기엔 적합하지 않은 제한 사항들이 존재한다. 인체 피부 림프계를 더 잘 이해하고 림프관 형성에 관련된 분자 및 생리학적 변화를 조사하기 위해, 생체 모방 미세유체 플랫폼인 'skin-lymph-on-a-chip'을 제작하여, 새로운 체외 인체 피부 림프 모델을 개발하였다. 간단히 말해, 이 플랫폼은 체외에서 분화된 일차 정상 인간 표피 각질형성세포(NHEKs)와 피부 림프 내피세포(HDLECs)를 공동 배양하는 것을 의미한다. 약 500 시간 동안 자연 발효를 통해 확보하고 집약된 인삼 뿌리 추출물인 LymphanaxTM의 림프관 형성 효과를 평가하기 위해 해당 시스템에 적용하였고, 분자 수준 요인들의 변화는 딥러닝 기반 알고리즘을 사용하여 분석하였다. 결론적으로, LymphanaxTM는 skin-lymph-on-a-chip에서 건강한 림프관 형성을 촉진하였고, 그 성분들이 칩내에서 분화된 NHEKs를 거의 침투하지 않는 결과를 통해, HDELCs에 간접적으로 영향을 미쳤음을 확인하였다. 전반적으로, 이 연구는 기존과 차별화된 체외 인체 피부 림프모델 시스템의 확보와 더불어 이를 통한 LymphanaxTM의 림프 활성화 효과에 대한 새로운 관점을 제공한다.
