摘要

Skin homeostasis is indispensable for terrestrial life. The skin, sitting at the interface between the dry external environment and the aqueous interior, acts as a barrier to delimit each from the other. Maintaining this barrier function is critical - if it is compromised, pathogen ingress and water loss may have potentially severe consequences. Skin function is supported by an intricate regulatory network incorporating both protein-coding genes as well as non-coding RNA transcripts. This review will focus on microRNAs, a subset of non-coding RNAs which target specific messenger RNAs for post-transcriptional repression. MicroRNAs regulate every aspect of skin biology, from initial cell fate determination during embryogenesis, to steady state keratinocyte maturation and barrier renewal, as well as coordination of the healing process in response to skin damage. An increased appreciation for the role of microRNAs in skin pathologies not only sheds light on the importance of these small RNAs in healthy skin function, but also provides an expanding repertoire of potential therapeutic targets through which these conditions may be addressed. Mammalian skin appears simple. Its core function is to shield the body from the external environment. Water must be retained to sustain life, whilst harmful pathogens and other environmental insults must be kept out. This simplicity in function belies the array of intricate processes necessary to maintain the skin's barrier function - multiple series of highly-ordered molecular and cellular events control constant epidermal rejuvenation, as well as rapid repair of any epithelial damage sustained. For internal homeostasis to be maintained, epithelial integrity is essential, and contingent upon precise spatiotemporal control of protein expression in the skin.
