Abstract

Melanin is a polymer substance that plays an important role in the determination of hair growth and skin color in vivo. However, melanin, which is over-produced by reactive oxygen species, is known to cause stains, freckles, and hypercholesterolemia, which are associated with aging. Previous studies have shown that polyphosphate, one of the components of Rhynchosia Nulubilis, inhibits skin aging induced by ultraviolet rays. The aim of this study is to investigate the direct effect of Rhynchosia Nulubilis ethanolic extract (RNEE) on melanin synthesis. In this study, RNEE showed no antioxidative effects on scavenging activity of DPPH radical in addition to reducing power. The cytotoxicity of RNEE was increased in a dose-dependent manner in an MTT assay. In addition, RNEE increased tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in DOPA-oxidation experiments. RNEE did not promote the conversion L-DOPA into melanin in live cells, but melanin production was promoted in the RNEE-treated group after H2O2 pretreatment compared to the control group in which melanin production was reduced by treatment with H2O2. In addition, RNEE increased the expression level of tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2) and increased the expression level of tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1) at a concentration of $16{\mu}g/ml$. In particular, it was found that RNEE increased the expression level of SOD-3, by which superoxide anion is converted to hydrogen peroxide, higher than the control and ${\alpha}$-MSH used as a positive control at a concentration of more than $16{\mu}g/ml$. The results suggest that RNEE can induce melanogenesis related to black hair.

멜라닌은 생체 내에서 발모 및 피부색을 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 고분자 물질이다. 하지만 활성산소에 의해 과도하게 생성된 멜라닌은 노화와 관련된 기미, 주근깨와 과색소 침착증 등을 야기한다고 알려져 있다. 이와 관련된 천연물 중 서목태 성분의 하나인 polyphosphate는 자외선에 의해 손상되는 피부 노화를 억제한다고 보고되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 멜라닌 합성에 대한 RNEE의 직접적인 효과를 조사한 것이다. 본 연구에서 RNEE는 DPPH radical의 소거효과 및 환원력과 같은 항산화 효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다. MTT 실험을 수행한 결과, RNEE는 농도 의존적으로 세포독성을 증가시켰다. 또한, RNEE는 tyrosinase 활성과 DOPA-oxidation 실험 결과에서 멜라닌 합성을 증가시켰다. RNEE는 살아있는 세포에서 L-DOPA에 의한 유발되는 melanin생성 촉진 효과는 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 과산화수소를 처리하여 melanin 생성을 감소시킨 대조군과 비교시 과산화수소 전처리 후 RNEE를 처리한 군에서는 melanin 생성 촉진 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 RNEE는 tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2)의 발현을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1)의 단백질발현도 대조군과 비교시 $16{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 superoxide anion을 과산화수소로 변환시키는 SOD-3의 발현을 조사한 결과 $16{\mu}g/ml$ 이상의 농도에서 대조군과 양성 대조군인 ${\alpha}$-MSH보다 단백질 발현이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, 이상의 결과는 서목태가 흑모와 관련 있는 멜라닌 생성을 촉진하는 기능적인 잠재성을 가지고 있다는 것을 암시한다.
