본 연구는 참까막살 에탄올 추출물이 천연 미백 소재로의 가능성을 알아보기 위해 멜라닌 함량, 세포내 tyrosinase 활성 측정 및 Western blotting 실험이 수행되었다. 참까막살 에탄올 추출물의 농도에 따른 MTT assay를 통해 세포 생존율 및 증식에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 $500{\mu}g/ml$ 농도까지를 실험 조건으로 설정하였다. B16F10 melanoma cell의 melanin 생성에 미치는 영향을 측정한 결과 대조군에 비하여 ${\alpha}-MSH$만 처리한 경우 뚜렷하게 증가하였고, 참까막살 에탄올 추출물을 100, 300, $500{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 각각 처리한 결과 ${\alpha}-MSH$만을 처리한 것에 비해 25%, 30%, 35%로 농도 의존적으로 감소하였다. Tyrosinase 활성도 100, 300, $500{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 처리한 결과 ${\alpha}-MSH$만을 처리한 것에 비해 6%, 12%, 21%로 감소하였다. 참까막살 에탄올 추출물의 멜라닌 합성 관련 단백질 발현에 대한 영향을 확인하기 위하여 Western blot으로 미백관련 전사인자인 MITF, TRP-1, TRP-2, Tyrosinase 발현을 조사하였다. ${\alpha}-MSH$을 단독 처리한 경우에 각 단백질의 발현이 현저하게 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고 반면 참까막살 에탄올 추출물을 처리한 경우 농도 의존적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 $500{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 매우 효과적으로 억제되었다. 본 연구 결과 참까막살 에탄올 추출물은 멜라닌 생합성에 관련된 유전자인 MITF, TRP-1, TRP-2, Tyrosinase의 발현을 억제하는 것으로 나타나, 향후 기능성 화장품 개발에 있어 효과적인 미백 기능성 해양 소재로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

To examine the potential of Terminalia chebula as a whitening agent, we measured antioxidant activity using DPPH$\cdot$, ABTS${\cdot}^+$ assays and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, and depigmenting activity using B16F10 melanoma cells. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was monitored by $H_2DCFDA$ fluorescence labeling, and melanin contents in B16F10 melanoma cells by 960 $J/m^2$ dose of UVA-induced oxidative stress. The radical-scavenging activities of T. chebula extract (TCE) were measured in terms of $EC_{50}$ values using DPPH$\cdot$, ABTS${\cdot}^+$ assays and FRAP value were 280.0 ${\mu}g/mL$, 42.2 ${\mu}g/mL$ and 113.1 ${\mu}mol$ $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O/g$, respectively. We found that ROS and melanin concentrations were reduced by TCE treatments of 25 ${\mu}g/mL$ under UVA-induced oxidative stress. Tyrosinase activity and melanin contents in $\alpha$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)-induced melanoma cells both decreased dose-dependently in the treatment groups. TCE similarly reduced melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells stimulated by $\alpha$-MSH as compared to arbutin as a positive control. T. chebula may prove to be a useful therapeutic agent for hyperpigmentation and an effective component in skin whitening and.or lightening cosmetics.

$\beta$-Immunan, a proteoglycan, was isolated from the mycelium of Canoderma lucidum which belongs to a medicinal mushroom. The effects of $\beta$-Immunan on cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions mediated by carbohydrate-recognition and the mechanism responsible for the inhibition of experimental metastasis of Bl6-F10 and B16/BL6 murine melanoma were studied. The results showed that $\beta$-Immunan inhibited Bl6-Fl melanoma cell's adhesion to laminin and asialofetuin-induced homotypic aggregation and reduced invasion against Bl6-F10 murine melanoma cells through matrigel in vivo assay. When $\beta$-Immunan was intraperitoneally administrated to C57B/6 mice bearing B16/BL6 murine melanoma cells, it was decreased the number of pulmonary metastatic colony by the dose dependent manner ranging from 20 to 100 mg/kg/day. The results indirectly indicate that clinical treatment with $\beta$-Immunan might be expected to exhibit anti-metastatic effect. In the pulmonary metastasis, the number of pulmonary metastatic colony of melanoma when $\beta$-Immunan was intraperitoneally administrated to C57BL/6 mice bearing B16/BL6 murine melanoma cells by intravenous injection were decreased by the dose dependent manner ranging from 20 to 100 mg/kg/day.

Objective : Melanin is one of the most important facor in skin color. Melanin protects human skin from ultraviolet radiation otherwise it causes melanin pigmentation. So this experiment is carried out for test whether Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi(SBG) inhibits melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity in mouse B16 melanoma cells. Method : The melanin synthesis inhibition effects of SBG were examined by in vitro melanin production assay. We assessed inhibitory effects of SBG on melanin contents from B16F1 melanoma cell, on tyrosinase activity(cell and cell free system), effect of SBG on the expression tyrosinase, Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor(MITF), Extracellular signal-regulated Kinase(ERK). Result : SBG inhibited melanin synthesis induced $\alpha$-MSH($\alpha$-Melanin Stimulating Hormone) in B16F1. SBG inhibited tyrosinase activity and expression. And SBG down-regulates MITF and stimulated ERK activation in B16F1. Conclusion : According to above results, SBG was improved its suppression effect to the inhibition of melanin synthesis, tyrosinase activation, and tyrosinase promotor activation. So SBG is considered to be used for an strong source of skin whitening effect.

The present study observed the effects of a green tea (Camellia sinensis) flower extract (GTFE) on melanin synthesis in B16-F10 melanoma cells. GTFE exhibited antioxidant activity on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, GTFE significantly diminished ${\alpha}-melanocyte$ stimulating hormone (${\alpha}-MSH$) stimulated cellular melanin content and tyrosinase activity throughout the concentration range evaluated. Based on RNA sequencing analysis, differential gene expression patterns observed in ${\alpha}-MSH$ stimulated B16-F10 melanoma cells were normalized by the addition of GTFE. In particular, the expression levels of melanoregulin and tyrosinase genes which are key regulating genes in melanin synthesis were up-regulated by 3.5 and 3 fold respectively by ${\alpha}-MSH$, and were normalized to control levels by the addition of GTFE. The results suggest that GTFE inhibits melanin synthesis in ${\alpha}-MSH$ stimulated B16-F10 melanoma cells by normalizing expression of genes that are essential for melanin synthesis. Overall, the results suggest that GTFE could be applied in the development of a whitening agent for the treatment of dermal hyperpigmentation.

파이토케미컬의 일종인 EGCG는 녹차의 카테킨 성분으로, 세포 내 신호 경로 조절을 통하여 항산화, 항암효과를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 hypoxia 상태인 B16F10 피부암 세포에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$를 포함한 AMPK의 신호경로를 통하여 EGCG의 apoptosis 유도 효과를 규명하였다. AMPK는 hypoxia, 영양분 결핍, 운동, heat shock 등, 세포 내 ATP의 결핍에 의해서 활성화되며 암세포의 증식을 억제하고 apoptosis를 유도한다. 세포에서 중요한 에너지 센서로서 작용하는 AMPK가 hypoxia 상태의 암세포 내에서는 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 전사 활성을 유도하는데, HIF-$1{\alpha}$는 hypoxia 상태에서 산소 결핍에 반응하는 첫 번째 전사 조절인자로서 암세포의 생존을 위한 세포내 산소공급과 혈관신생형성을 조절한다. Hypoxia 상태가 아닌 B16F10 세포에서와 hypoxia 상태에서의 B16F10 세포에서 EGCG에 의한 apoptosis 효과를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, hypoxia 상태에서 EGCG는 더 강한 apoptosis를 유도하며, 혈관신생형성을 조절할 수 있는 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 전사 활성을 억제시킨다. 이러한 관찰을 통해 EGCG가 hypoxia 상태의 피부암 세포에서 암의 성장과 신생혈관형성을 저해하는 것으로 보인다. 이와 같은 연구는 향후 식품에 첨가된 파이토케미컬을 이용하여 암을 예방하는 연구에서 있어서, 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다.

Objectives : Since hypopigmentation is known to increase the risk of skin cancer, melanogenesis in the skin needs to be regulated. Here, we evaluated the melanogenesis stimulatory effects of a modified Goagium herbal remedy (HR) and HR+ox bile (Bos taurus domesticus) extract (OBE) to address hypopigmentation disorders. Methods : B16F10 melanoma cells were treated with different dosages of HR and HR+OBE for 24 to 48 h after 1 h of 10 nM ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH). After the treatment, cell viability, tyrosinase activity, melanin synthesis and the expression of genes related to melanin synthesis were measured and the regulation of the ${\alpha}$-MSH signalling through cAMP responding element binding protein (CREB) was determined. Results : HR and HR+OBE with the ranges of $15{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$ did not affect cell viability in melanoma cells. The 1 h treatment of HR+OBE (50 and $100{\mu}g/mL$) potentiated the phosphorylation of CREB by enhancing ${\alpha}$-MSH signaling and its 24 h treatment increased CREB expression. Consistent with CREB potentiation, their treatment for 24 h, the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MIFT), tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein (TRP)-1 and TRP-2 were increased in realtime PCR. Ultimately, the 48 h treatment of HR+OBE (50 and $100{\mu}g/mL$) increased tyrosniase activity and melanin contents in the melanoma cells in comparison to the control. Conclusions : HR+OBE (50 and $100{\mu}g/mL$) increases melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells via the stimulation of tyrosinase activity and expression of MIFT, tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2. HR+OBE can be used as the a possible treatment for hypopigmentation of the skin.

미역, 다시마 등 갈조류의 추출물로서 생리활성성분으로 각광 받고 있는 fucoidan이 멜라닌 합성에 미치는 영양을 알아봄으로써 미백제로서의 개발 가능성 여부를 확인하지 위하여 B16F10 melnoma 세포를 이용하여 멜라닌 합성과 tyrosmase 활성도에 대한 실험의 결과 B16F10 melnoma 세포의 멜라닌 생성과 tyrosinase 활성도는 fucoidan의 농도가 증가함에 따라 농도 의존적으로 억제되었다. B16F10 melnoma 세포에 ${\alpha}$-MSH를 투여 후 멜라닌 생성과 tyrosinase의 활성도 역시 fucoidan의 농도가 증가할수록 멜라닌 생성과 tyrosmase 활성도가 억제되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 DOPA 염색의 결과 fucoidan은 농도 의존적으로 tyrosinase 활성도를 억제하였다. 이상의 결과 해조 추출 다당류인 furosinase은 B16F10 melanoma 세포의 멜라닌 합성과 tyrosinase 활성도 억제 작용을 나타내므로 미백 활성 물질로서의 가능성을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Flavonoids are class of polyphenolic compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom, which display a variety of biological activities, including antiviral, antithrombotic, antiinflammatory, antihistaminic, antioxidant and free-radica 1 scavenging abilities. The antioxidant enzyme (AOE) system plays an important role in the defense against oxidative stress insults. To determine whether flavonoid, myricetin can exert antioxidative effects not only directly by modulating the AOE system but also scavenging free radical, we investigated the influence of the flavonoid myricetin on cell viability, different antioxidant enzyme activities, ROS level and the expression of different antioxidant emzyme in B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Myricetin in a concentration range from 6.25 to $50\;{\mu}M$ decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activities, but catalase (CAT) activity was increased. In the myricetin-treated group, ROS levels were decreased dose-dependently. Antioxidant enzyme expression was measured by RT-PCR. Myricetin treatment of B16F10 cells increased catalase expression. Expression levels of copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn SOD) were not affected by exposure of myricetin. Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) and GPx expression levels decreased slightly after myricetin treatment. In conclusion, the antioxidant capacity of myricetin was due to CAT and free-radical scavenging.

Tumor angiogenesis, growth and metastasis are three closely related processes. We therefore investigated the effects of barbigerone on all three in the B16F10 tumor model established in both zebrafish and mouse models, and explored underlying molecular mechanisms. In vitro, barbigerone inhibited B16F10 cell proliferation, survival, migration and invasion and suppressed human umbilical vascular endothelial cell migration, invasion and tube formation in concentration-dependent manners. In the transgenic zebrafish model, treatment with $10{\mu}M$ barbigerone remarkably inhibited angiogenesis and tumor-associated angiogenesis by reducing blood vessel development more than 90%. In vivo, barbigerone significantly suppressed angiogenesis as measured by H and E staining of matrigel plugs and CD31 staining of B16F10 melanoma tumors in C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, it exhibited highly potent activity at inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis to the lung of B16F10 melanoma cells injected into C57BL/6 mice. Western blotting revealed that barbigerone inhibited phosphorylation of AKT, FAK and MAPK family members, including ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPKs, in B16F10 cells mainly through the MEK3/6/p38 MAPK signaling pathway. These findings suggested for the first time that barbigerone could inhibit tumor-angiogenesis, tumor growth and lung metastasis via downregulation of the MEK3/6/p38 MAPK signaling pathway. The findings support further investigation of barbigerone as a potential anti-cancer drug.
