Tailored 3D Agarose-Well Integrated with Human Skin Equivalents for Enhanced Skin Penetration Assessment
We developed a tailored 3D Agarose-well system integrated with reconstructed human skin equivalents to enhance skin penetration assessments. This system addresses common limitations in traditional trans-well reconstructions, such as dermal layer contraction and limited lateral diffusion, by entangling collagen fibrils within the Agarose-well. We evaluated the penetration behavior of three peptides, with and without skin-penetrating peptide (SPP) sequences, alongside adenosine, a known anti-wrinkle agent. Despite a SPP having a molecular weight approximately four times greater than that of adenosine, its kinetic constant was similar, with values of about 39 and 34, respectively. Moreover, this living skin equivalent system not only allowed for the evaluation of adenosine penetration, but also demonstrated its biological effects, with adenosine significantly enhancing procollagen synthesis by approximately 23% compared to the control. Overall, this novel strategy holds the potential for tailoring 3D Agarose-wells and advancing high-performance gel development, making it a promising approach for applications in tissue engineering, medical science, regenerative medicine, and cosmetics.
