Abstract

To investigate the alleviative effect of white tea water extract on the inflammation and skin barrier damage, skin aging animal model was produced by the irradiation of UVB to the backs of hairless mice for 12 weeks. And then experimental materials were applied topically for 4 weeks. At the 28th day of experiment, positive control (PC, 0.01% retinoic acid treatment) and experimental groups (E1, 1% white tea water extract treatment; E2, 2% white tea water extract treatment) had significantly (p<0.001) lower values of both skin erythema index and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) than the control (C, saline treatment) group. The appearance of mast cell and the degree of its degranulation in dermal and subcutaneous layers were remarkably reduced in E1 and E2 groups compared to the C group. It is found that white tea water extract is effective in skin barrier damage and inflammation in hairless mouse.

백차 열수추출물의 염증 및 피부장벽 손상완화 효과를 알아보기 위해 생후 6~7주령 암컷 SKH-1 hairless 마우스 등 부위에UVB를 12주간 조사하여 피부노화를 유발시킨 후, 실험동물을정상군(N), 대조군(UVB+saline, C), 양성대조군(UVB+0.01%retinoic acid, PC), 실험군1 (UVB+1% white tea water extract, E1), 실험군2 (UVB+2% white tea water extract, E2)로 나누어 1일 2회, 주 5일, 4주 동안 매회 200 ${\mu}L$씩 시료를 도포하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 피부 홍반도 측정에서, 실험 4주 후 C군에비해 PC, E1, E2군은 각각 31, 41, 46% 유의하게(p<0.001) 낮았다. (2) 수분함량 측정에서, 실험 4주 후 C군에 비해 PC, E1, E2군은 각각 190, 207, 225% 유의하게(p<0.001) 높았다. 경표피수분 손실량(transepidermal water loss, TEWL) 측정에서, 실험 4주후 C군에 비해 PC, E1, E2군은 각각 61, 79, 85% 유의하게(p<0.001) 낮았다. 조직학적 관찰에서, C군에 비해 E1, E2군은 표피층과 진피층의 비후, 비만세포수와 탈과립 정도가 현저하게 경감되었다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합할 때, hairless 마우스를 이용한in vivo 실험에서 백차 열수추출물 경피 도포는 자외선 조사로 인해 유발된 피부장벽 손상 및 염증 반응에 상당한 개선 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
