  • Descrição: The cannabinoid receptor type-1 (CB1R) is a major regulator of metabolism, growth and inflammation. Yet, its potential role in the skin is not well understood. Our aim was to evaluate the role of CB1R in aging-like diabetic skin changes by using a CB1R knockout mouse model. We evaluated several signals of skin aging in wild-type control (WT), WT streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic mice (WT DM), CB1R knockout (CB1RKO) and CB1RKO DM mice. We quantified markers of inflammation, angiogenesis, antioxidant enzymes and collagen content. Moreover, we evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and macrophage phenotype, M1 and M2. CB1R expression is decreased in the skin of WT DM mice and collagen levels are decreased in the skin of WT DM, CB1RKO and CB1RKO DM mice. Additionally, the absence of CB1R correlated with higher expression of pro-inflammatory markers, also evident in WT DM or CB1RKO DM mice. Moreover, the M1/M2 macrophage ratio and ROS levels were significantly elevated but in the diabetic WT and the CB1RKO mice, consistent with a significant decrease in the antioxidant capacity of the skin. Our results indicate that CB1R deficiency in the skin may lead to accelerated skin aging due to the increased production of ROS, a decrease in the antioxidant defenses and a higher pro-inflammatory environment. A significant decrease in the CB1R expression may be a significant contributing factor to the early aging-like changes in diabetes. •CB1R is significantly decreased in the skin of diabetic mice.•CB1R deficiency promotes aging-like changes in the skin.•CB1R deficiency decreases the antioxidant defense enzymes in the skin.•Decreased CB1R expression may in part contribute to the early onset of skin aging-like changes in diabetes.
