Does p38 MAP Kinase Inhibition reduce Propionibacterium acnes-Induced Inflammation in Vitro?
The data demonstrate that P. acnes induces p38-dependent inflammatory responses in keratinocytes, and suggest that p38 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory acne.
The conclusion was limited by small sample sizes and potential uncontrollable influence factors on fecal microbiota.
