Research progress of vitiligo repigmentation: from oxidative stress to autoimmunity.
Cellular and Molecular Biology 2024 April 29
Vitiligo belongs to a frequent chronic autoimmune skin disease with the features of pigmented plaques on the diseased skin along with potential damage of melanocytes. There are many factors underlying the pathogenesis of vitiligo, among which oxidative stress is extensively regarded to be the critical factor leading to the loss of melanocytes. The changed redox state resulting from oxidative stress, containing ROS overproduction along with the reduced activity of the skin's antioxidant system, makes melanocytes less resistant to exogenous or endogenous stimuli, and ultimately pushes normal defense mechanisms, resulting in the loss of melanocytes. Given the crucial potential of innate together with adaptive immunity in vitiligo, there is growing evidence of a relation between oxidative stress and autoimmunity. Our review offers estimable insights into the possible properties of oxidative stress and autoimmunity in pathogenesis of vitiligo, as well as the potential role of antioxidant-based supportive therapy in vitiligo repigmentation, providing a hopeful value for further research and development of effective treatments.
