Effects of (-)-cannabidiol on human sebocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the current study, we aimed at exploring the effects of the major non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid of Cannabis sativa, (-)-cannabidiol (CBD), on human sebaceous gland functions. We found that CBD behaved as a highly effective anti-acne agent, targeting all the three key, sebocyte-specific steps of the pathogenesis (i.e. without compromising viability or basal sebaceous lipid production, CBD normalized pro-acne agents-induced excessive lipid synthesis, reduced proliferation and exerted anti-inflammatory actions). The goal of the present microarray analyses was to identify signaling pathways and target genes being involved in mediating the above beneficial effects of CBD.
