Abstract

Skin is the largest organ that protects the body from the external environmental factors such as smog, cigarette smoke, UV. Protective skin barrier is composed with keratinizational keratinocytes and intercellular lipids such as ceramides, cholesterols and fatty acids combined by the lamellar liquid crystal structure. In this research, we confirmed that the Jeju wild ginseng (JWG) extracts dose-dependently increased the expression of serine-palmitoyltransferase (SPT) protein which is associated with ceramide biosynthesis. In addition, emulsion containing 5% JWG extract was applied on skin of human volunteers for 2 weeks and then significantly reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) compared to that of control group. As a results, JWG extract increased the biosynthesis of ceramides that is the key components of the skin lipid through enhancing expression of SPT. In addition, JWG extract reduced TEWL resulting in improvement of skin barrier function. In this context, we suggest that JWG extract could be used as a skin barrier enhancer and moisturing agents in cosmetic fileds.

피부는 스모그, 담배연기 및 UV와 같은 외부환경으로부터 신체를 보호하는 가장 큰 기관이며, 보호 기작으로서 각질세포와 그 사이를 메우고 있는 세라마이드, 콜레스테롤, 지방산 등의 세포간지질이 라멜라 액정 구조로 피부 장벽을 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세포간지질 중 세라마이드 생합성과 관련되어 있는 세린-팔미토일 전이효소(serine-palmitoyltransferase, SPT) 발현을 western blot으로 확인한 결과, 제주산양산삼 추출물이 농도의존적으로 SPT 단백질 발현을 증가시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 제주산양산삼 추출물을 5% 함유한 제형을 2주간 피부에 도포 후 TEWL을 측정하였을 때, 제주산양산삼 추출물을 함유한 에멀젼 도포부위의 TEWL이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구결과는 제주산양산삼 추출물이 SPT의 발현 증가를 통해 세포간 지질의 핵심성분인 세라마이드의 생합성을 증가시켰음을 보여준다. 따라서 제주산양산삼 추출물은 피부장벽기능을 개선시켜 TEWL 감소 효과를 나타내며, 이를 통해 화장품 분야에서 피부장벽 강화 및 보습소재로서 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.
