During the process of differentiation, keratinocytes in the epidermis undergo a noticeable reduction in iron content. Conversely, psoriatic lesions, characterized by disruptions in epidermal differentiation, frequently reveal an excessive accumulation of iron within keratinocytes that have undergone differentiation. In this study, we clarified the significance of attenuated cellular iron content in the intricate course of epidermal differentiation. We illustrated this phenomenon through the utilization of hinokitiol, an iron chelator derived from the heartwood of Taiwanese hinoki, which forcibly delivers iron into cells independent of the intrinsic iron-regulation systems. While primary cultured keratinocytes readily succumbed to necrotic cell death by this iron chelator, mild administration of the hinokitiol-iron complex modestly disrupts the process of differentiation in these cells. Notably, keratinocyte model cells HaCaT and anaplastic skin rudiments exhibit remarkable resilience against the cytotoxic impact of hinokitiol, and the potent artificial influx of iron explains a suppressive effect selectively on epidermal differentiation. Moreover, the augmentation of iron content induced by the overexpression of divalent metal transporter 1 culminates in the inhibition of differentiation in HaCaT cells. Consequently, the diminution in cellular iron content emerges as an important determinant influencing the trajectory of keratinocyte differentiation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mtomcs\/mfae014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T07:01:54Z","timestamp":1709794914000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The decline in cellular iron is crucial for differentiation in keratinocytes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Junya","family":"Abe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University. 1 , Gakuen-Uegahara, Sanda 669-1330 , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuichi","family":"Aono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University. 1 , Gakuen-Uegahara, Sanda 669-1330 , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9652-5412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yohei","family":"Hirai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University. 1 , Gakuen-Uegahara, Sanda 669-1330 , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"100861","key":"2024040511024464400_bib1","first-page":"14","article-title":"The changing landscape of iron deficiency","volume":"75","author":"Camaschella","year":"2020","journal-title":"Mol.
