Abstract

In modern society, where tension and stress are ubiquitous, individuals often experience psychological imbalances. These stressors not only affect mental well-being but also manifest physically, through the skin. Consequently, a new term psychodermatology combining psychiatry and dermatology, has emerged, garnerning attention and research focus. In this study, we aimed to develop materials improving chronic skin conditions caused by stress by utilizing a compound of Cucurbita moschata, Paeonia japonica, and Prunus cerasus known to alleviate skin disorders. We sought to develop and validate the efficacy of materials alleviating chronic skin conditions induced by stress in keratinocytes..Therefore, in this study we analyzed the effects of a complex extract using Cucurbita moschata, Paeonia japonica, and Prunus cerasus on HaCaT keratinocyte cells to understand how it influences them. The complex extract on HaCaT keratinocyte cells showed a concentration-dependent decrease in the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MDC, and TARC at concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 ㎍/mL. Particularly noteworthy was the efficacy observed in inhibiting IL-1β, with a reduction of over 40% at a concentration of 100 ㎍/mL. Additionally, the production levels of AQP-3, HA, and filaggrin exhibited a significant concentration-dependent increase. The protein expression of p-ERK, p-JNK, and p-p38, which were elevated by TNF-α/IFN-γ, was significantly decreased with the treatment of the complex extract. These findings suggest that the compound extract may be utilized as a material for treating and preventing skin conditions, potentially mitigating the adverse effects of the mutual relationship between skin disorders and stress.

현대사회에서 스트레스와 긴장감은 피할 수 없는 요인이다. 다양한 피부질환은 스트레스를 일으키는 중요한 요인으로 언급되고 있다. 피부질환을 가진 환자들은 수면상태가 원활하지 않아 전반적으로 수면 효율이 낮다. 또한 피부질환으로 인해 심리적 스트레스 수치가 높아지고, 이와 같은 과정은 반복적으로 발생하고 있다. 피부질환과 스트레스는 상호적으로 연관되어 있으며, psychodematology에 대한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 피부질환을 저하 시킬 수 있는 호박, 작약, 타트체리 복합물을 활용하여 피부 각질 형성 세포에서 스트레스로 인한 만성 피부질환을 개선할 수 있는 소재를 개발하고 효능을 입증하고자 하였다. HaCaT 각질형성세포에 복합 추출물은 12.5, 25, 50, 100 ㎍/mL 농도 의존적으로 TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MDC, TARC 발현량이 저해되었으며 특히 IL-1β의 경우, 100 ㎍/mL의 농도에서 40% 이상 저해하는 우수한 효능을 확인하였다. 또한 AQP-3, HA, filaggrin의 생성량 농도 의존적으로 유의미한 증가를 보이며 TNF-α/IFN-γ로 증가된 p-ERK, p-JNK, p-p38의 단백질 발현은 복합 추출물의 처리로 유의하게 감소시 키는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통하여 해당 복합 추출물은 피부질환을 치료 및 예방할 수 있는 소재로서 활용가치가 있는 것으로 판단되며, 이는 피부질환과 스트레스 간의 상호 관계의 악영향을 낮춰 줄 것으로 판단된다.
