The fact that the skin is a major site of total body sterologensis, coupled both with the apparent absence of low density lipoprotein receptors on keratinocytes and with the lack of influence of serum cholesterol on epidermal sterologensis, has created the impression that epidermal lipid synthesis might be autonomous, i.e. nonregulatable. Recent studies have shown, however, that disruption of cutaneous barrier function with acetone or detergents stimulates epidermal sterologensis (J Lipid Res 26:418–427, 1985). To correlate further sterologenesis with barrier function, we measured de novo synthesis of cholesterol and total nonsaponifiable lipids in essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) hairless mice. Animals with defective barrier function, manifested by abnormal transepidermal water loss, demonstrated a 2-fold increase in epidermal cholesterol and total nonsaponifiable lipid synthesis over controls while synthesis in the dermis was unchanged. Epidermal sterologenesis in EFAd animals, repleted with linoleic acid either systematically or topically, returned toward normal as barrier function improved. Moreover, plastic occlusion of EFAD mouse skin normalized epidermal sterologensis at 1 and 3 days. These results provide further evidence that epidermal sterologenesis is not entirely autonomous, and can be regulated by water barrier requirements.
