BACKGROUND: Viaminate, a vitamin A acid drug developed in China, has been clinically used in acne treatment to regulate epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation, inhibit keratinization, reduce sebum secretion, and control immunological and anti-inflammatory actions; however, the exact method by which it works is unknown.

METHODS: In the present study, acne was induced in the ears of rats using Propionibacterium acnes combined with sebum application.

RESULTS: After 30 days of treatment with viaminate, the symptoms of epidermal thickening and keratin overproduction in the ears of rats were significantly improved. Transcriptomic analysis of rat skin tissues suggested that viaminate significantly regulated the biological pathways of cellular keratinization. Gene differential analysis revealed that the S100A8 and S100A9 genes were significantly downregulated after viaminate treatment. The results of qPCR and Western blotting confirmed that viaminate inhibited the expression of S100A8 and S100A9 genes and proteins in rat and HaCat cell acne models, while its downstream pathway MAPK (MAPK p38/JNK/ERK1/2) protein expression levels were suppressed. Additional administration of the S100A8 and S100A9 complex protein significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of viaminate on abnormal proliferation and keratinization levels in acne cell models.

CONCLUSION: In summary, viaminate can improve acne by modulating S100A8 and S100A9 to inhibit MAPK pathway activation and inhibit keratinocyte proliferation and keratinization levels.
