Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Brunfelsia grandiflora ethanol extract (BGEE) on the induction of autophagy via regulation of SIRT1 expression and p53 activation in a human lung fibroblast cell line, IMR 90. BGEE at a concentration of $5{\mu}g/ml$ or more exhibited a cytotoxic effect on IMR 90 cells. For the first time, this study showed that BGEE induces autophagy in normal human lung fibroblasts. BGEE also increased the expression level of beclin-1 at $2.5{\mu}g/ml$ or less and Atg7 at $5{\mu}g/ml$, both of which are known to be involved in the induction of autophagy. In addition, BGEE modulated the expression of other proteins related to autophagy in normal human lung fibroblasts. The expression levels of p53 and p-p53, an active form of p53, were decreased in the presence of BGEE at a noncytotoxic concentration. In contrast, the expression level of SIRT1 was increased in human lung fibroblasts treated with BGEE at a noncytotoxic concentration. Moreover, SA-${\beta}$-Gal staining, an aging marker, was reduced in the normal human lung fibroblasts treated with BGEE. These findings suggest that BGEE promotes the induction of autophagy and antiaging through the modulation of p53 and SIRT1 in human lung fibroblasts.
