摘要

Nowadays, silica products are widely used in daily life, especially in skin applications, which inevitably increases the risk of silica exposure in general population. However, inadequate awareness of silica's potential hazards and lack of self-protection are of concern. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by progressive tissue fibrosis under environmental and genetic interactions. Silica exposure is considered an important causative factor for SSc, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. Within this study, we showed that lower doses of silica significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, and activation of human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) within 24 h. Silica injected subcutaneously into mice induced and exacerbated skin fibrosis. Notably, silica increased histone deacetylase-4 (HDAC4) expression by inducing its DNA hypomethylation in normal HSFs. The elevated HDAC4 expression was also confirmed in SSc HSFs. Furthermore, HDAC4 was positively correlated with Smad2/3 phosphorylation and COL1, α-SMA, and CTGF expression. The HDAC4 inhibitor LMK235 mitigated silica-induced upregulation of these factors and alleviated skin fibrosis in SSc mice. Taken together, silica induces and exacerbates skin fibrosis in SSc patients by targeting the HDAC4/Smad2/3 pathway. Our findings provide new insights for evaluating the health hazards of silica exposure and identify HDAC4 as a potential interventional target for silica-induced SSc skin fibrosis.
