Multiple factors are involved in acne pathogenesis, and sebum secretion is one of the main ones. The role sebum plays in acne development has not been completely elucidated yet; however, increasing amounts of data seem to confirm the presence of alterations in sebum from acne patients. Altered ratio between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids has been indicated as an important feature to be considered in addition to the altered amount of specific fatty acids such as linoleic acid. Furthermore…

The aim of this study was to review the literature regarding the new concepts on the pathogenesis of acne to find out whether modifications in the sebum composition lead to a greater proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes that obstruct the follicular ostium and favor the formation of comedones.

Evidence is provided that sebum quantity per se cannot be the only responsible factor for the development of acne, as demonstrated by the success of treatment with agents with no primary effect on sebum excretion rate.

Overall, the data indicated an association between the clinical grading of acne and sebaceous lipid fingerprints and highlighted DGs as more abundant in sebum from adolescents affected with acne.
Updated Treatment for Acne: Targeted Therapy Based on Pathogenesis

Future treatment for acne should embrace approaches that target the main etiological factors of acne, and specific emphasis on aggressive treatment in the acute inflammatory phase to reduce the likelihood of scarring and other clinical sequelae, such as pigmentary changes would be highly desirable.

Investigation of the consequences of insulin treatment in human in vitro cultured immortalized sebocytes confirmed that the human sebum has a special species-specific composition, and showed that their differentiation is an important factor during acne pathogenesis.
Evidence for the Important ¬Role of Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Acne
- BiologyGalen Medical Journal
- 2019
It is believed that ROS can contribute significantly to the acne vulgaris pathobiology via toll-like receptor (TLR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), mTOR pathway, and innate immune system, resulting in inflammation by alterations in the generation of several proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1, IL-8, and TNF-α.
The role of inflammation in the pathology of acne.

Evidence is presented to support the notion that acne is primarily an inflammatory disease, challenging the current nomenclature of noninflammatory versus inflammatory acne lesions and suggesting that the nomenClature is outdated and incorrect.

The results clearly show that squalene is a highly effective oxygen‐scavenging agent and may first induce comedogenesis and, as a secondary event, cause a large reduction in oxygen tension in the human pilo‐sebaceous duct.

Understanding the factors and mechanisms that regulate sebum production is needed in order to identify new targets that could be addressed to achieve a selective modulation of lipid biosynthesis as a novel therapeutic strategy to correct lipid disregulations in acne and other disorders of the pilosebaceous unit.
