Effect of cutaneous permeability barrier disruption on HMG-CoA reductase, LDL receptor, and apolipoprotein E mRNA levels in the epidermis of hairless mice.

Effect of cutaneous permeability barrier disruption on HMG-CoA reductase, LDL receptor, and apolipoprotein E mRNA levels in the epidermis of hairless mice.

Disruption of the permeability barrier results in an increase in cholesterol synthesis in the epidermis. Inhibition of cholesterol synthesis impairs the repair and maintenance of barrier function. The increase in epidermal cholesterol synthesis after barrier disruption is due to an increase in the a...
