To evaluate the effect of antioxidant on the cytotoxicity induced by oxidative stress of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured human skin melanocytes, colorimeric assay of XTT and tyrosinase activity assay were adopted after human skin melanocytes were preincubated for 2 hours in the media containing various concentrations of superoxide dismutase (SOD) before the treatment of hydrogen peroxide. Light microscopic study was carried out in same cultures. The results of this study were as follows 1. Cell viability of human skin melanocytes was significantly decreased by 30 and $40{\mu}M$ of hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$), respectively. 2. XTT50 was determined at $30{\mu}M$ after human skin melanocytes were treated with $10{\sim}40{\mu}M$ of hydrogen peroxide for 6 hours. 3. The cell viability of cultured human skin melanocytes pretreated with SOD was increased than that of cultured human skin melanocytes treated with $H_2O_2$ dose-dependently. 4. In tyrosinase activity of human skin melanocytes, the cell treated with SOD showed brown stain compared with $H_2O_2$ treated cells, dark stain. 5. In light microscopy, cultured human skin melanocytes exposed to $H_2O_2$ showed morphological changes such as the decreased cell number and cytoplasmic processes, compared with control. 6. In light microscopy, cultured human skin melanocytes pretreated with SOD showed the increase of cell number and cytoplasmic processes compared with $H_2O_2-treated$ group. From these results, it is suggested that oxidative stress of ROS such as $H_2O_2$ has cytotoxicity by showing the decreased cell viability, the increased tyrosinase activity and mophological changes of the decreased cell number and cytoplasmic processes. While, antioxidant like SOD was effective in the prevention of oxidative stress-mediated cytotoxicity by the increased cell viability, decreased tyrosinase activity and the protection of degenerative morphological changes in cultured human skin melanocytes.

In order to examine oxidative stress of reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant effect of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) extract, human skin melanoma cells were treated with various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$). Antioxidant effect of CRP extract on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity, cell viability, DPPH-radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. In this study, $H_2O_2$ decreased cell viability of cultured human skin melanoma cells in dose- and time-dependent manners, and then, midcytotoxicity value (MCV) was determined at $60\;{\mu}M$ after human skin melanoma cells were cultured for 5 hours in the media containing $20{\sim}60\;{\mu}M$ of $H_2O_2$, respectively. The $H_2O_2$ was on cultured human skin melanoma cells because MCV of $H_2O_2$ was lower than $100\;{\mu}M$. In the antioxidant effect of CRP extract, CRP extract increased cell viability DPPH-radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity. From these results, it is suggested that $H_2O_2$ was very toxic on cultured human skin melanoma cells. And also, CRP extract has the antioxidant effect on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity.

In order to evaluate on the cytotoxicity of methyl mercury (MM) and antioxidant effect of phenolic compound, poncirin against MM-induced cytotoxicity, XTT assay was performed to determine the cell viability after human skin fibroblasts (Detroit 51) were grown in the media containing various concentrations of methylmercuric chloride (MMC). And also, the antioxidant effect of poncirin on the cytotoxicity induced by MMC was examined by cell viability and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in these cultures. MMC decreased cell viability in dose-dependent manner in these cultures and the midcytotoxicity value was determined at concentration of 30 ${\mu}M$ MMC after human skin fibroblasts were treated with $10\sim50{\mu}M$ MMC for 72 hours, respectively. MMC was highly toxic on cultured human skin fibroblasts by toxic criteria. MMC-mediated cytotoxicity was related with oxidative stress by the diminution of toxic effect according to the treatment of vitamin E. In the antioxidant effect of poncirin, it showed vitamin E-like DPPH radical scavenging activity at 90 ${\mu}g/ml$ poncirin and also, remarkably increased cell viability compared with MMC-treated group. From these results, it is suggested that MMC-mediated cytoxicity was highly toxic and was related with oxidative stress in cultured human skin fibroblasts, and also phenolic compound such as poncirin showed the protection on MMC-induced cytotoxicity by antioxidant effect in these cultures.

Fructan, a polysaccharide existing in plants or produced by microorganisms, is a sugar polymer of fructose with $\beta$-2,6 linkages. In this study, we investigated some cosmeceutical properties of Fructan such as moisturizing effect, cell proliferation effect, anti-inflammation effect and cell cytotoxicity. Zymomonas mobilis, a microorganism producing Fructan, was cultured in a medium containing 10％ sucrose and 2％ yeast extract as main components for 24 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7. Fructan was obtained by precipitation from the cultured medium by adding alcohol (alcohol ratio of 1:3) after removing the enzyme by centrifuging. Fructan exhibited almost same moisturizing effect as hyaluronic acid and cell proliferation effect on human fibroblast and keratinocyte as well. Moreover, on cell proliferation test on bio-artificial skin constructed by 3-dimensional(3-D) culture after inducing primary skin inflammation with 0.5％ sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), the 3-D artificial skin treated with 0.01 mg/ml, 0.05mg/ml of Fructan exhibited higher cell proliferation than the 3-D artificial skin treated with SLS only. On anti-inflammation test on 3-D artificial skin evaluated by measuring secreted quantity of interleukin-1$\alpha$ (IL-1$\alpha$) which is a pre-inflammatory mediator induced by SLS, the quantity of IL-1$\alpha$on the 3-D artificial skin treated with 0.01 mg/ml, 0.05mg/ml of Fructan was less than the one on the 3-D artificial skin treated with SLS only. As a result of these studies, Fructan has anti-inflammation effect against inflammatory reaction by a skin irritant as well as cell proliferation effect in bio-artificial skin. Fructan was also evaluated as a safe material without any toxicity in safety tests using fibroblasts and animals.

Adriamycin (Doxorubicin HCl)의 혈관밖 유출에 따른 조직의 손상, 특히 피부괴양 및 괴사 기전을 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 흰쥐 피부세포를 이용한 in vitro 실험에서 adriamycin에 의한 산소라디칼 생성 및 그와 관련된 세포독성 기전으로 지질과산화를 검토하였다. Adriamycin은 흰쥐 태자 피부의 배양세포에서 lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) 유리를 용량 및 시간 의존적으로 증가 시켰으며, NADPH 및 NADH 첨가 조건에서 $superoxide\;anion(O^-\;_2{\cdot})$ 생성을 현저히 증가시켰다. Adriamycin은 지질과산화 반응의 척도인 malondialdehyde(MDA) 생성을 역시 NADPH, NADH 존재하에서 용량의존적으로 증가시켰고, 산소라디칼 제거물질들인 superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase 및 thiourea와 항산화물질인 butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT), ${\alpha}-tocopherol$은 MDA 생성증가를 현저히 억제하였다. 1, 3,-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea(BCNU)를 처리하여 산화성 공격에 대한 방어기전의 하나인 glutahione 체계를 억제할 경우 adriamycin에 의한 MDA 생성은 더욱 현저히 증가하였고, 이는 역시 항산화 물질들에 의하여 억제되었다. 이상의 연구성적에서 adriamycin은 산소라디칼 생성의 증가와 그에 따른 지질과산화를 촉진하므로서 피부세포에 손상을 줄 것으로 사료되었다.

Since the skin covers most surfaces of the body, it is susceptible to damage, which can be fatal depending on the degree of injury to the skin because it defends against external attack and protects internal structures. Various types of artificial skin are being studied for transplantation to repair damaged skin, and recently, the production of replaceable skin using three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has also been investigated. In this study, skin tissue was produced using a 3D bioprinter with human skin cell lines and cells extracted from mouse skin, and the printing conditions were optimized. Gelatin was used as a bioink, and fibrinogen and alginate were used for tissue hardening after printing. Printed skin tissue maintained a survival rate of 90% or more when cultured for 14 days. Culture conditions were established using 8 mM calcium chloride treatment and the skin tissue was exposed to air to optimize epidermal cell differentiation. The skin tissue was cultured for 14 days after differentiation induction by this optimized culture method, and immunofluorescent staining was performed using epidermal cell differentiation markers to investigate whether the epidermal cells had differentiated. After differentiation, loricrin, which is normally found in terminally differentiated epidermal cells, was observed in the cells at the tip of the epidermal layer, and cytokeratin 14 was expressed in the lower cells of the epidermis layer. Collectively, this study may provide optimized conditions for bioprinting and keratinization for three-dimensional skin production.

There are many different approaches to healing of acute and chronic ulcer and large skin defect, such as burn. Currently available wound covers fall into two categories. Permanent covering, such as autografts, and temporary ones, such as allograft including de-epidermized cadaver skin, bioartificial skin, xenografts, and synthetic dressings. Autologous skin grafting in the form of split- or full-thickness skin is still the good standard. Following on from developments in the 1980s involving the use of cultured keratinocyte grafts in wound healing, the last decade has been great progress in the fabrication of composite bioartificial skin grafts. However, two bottleneck on producing cultured bioartificial skin, whether of the simple epithelial cell sheet type, or the more complex composite type, continue to be the generation of sufficient keratinocytes cheaply and quickly and develop biocompatible dermal scaffolds. This article covers the development, clinical application, and current research directions associated with bioartificial skin.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Baickbujasan(BB) on the skin damage and depigmentation. Method : The inhibition of tyrosinase activity, melanogenesis and cell viability in cultured B16 melanoma cells were measured. In order to test effects of reduction of melanogenesis, B16 F-10 mouse melanoma stem line was employed to extract melanin from cultured cell, where BB was added or not, and was dissolved in alkali for colorimetric analysis. Also, in order to test skin alteration in C57BL/6 after UV irradiation, the animals were grouped into a UV urradiation group and UV irradiation after BB application group. Dopa oxidase tissue staining was excuted to invesitage the change in the distribution of active melanin cell. The distribution of active melanin cell in inner skin of iNOS after damage from UVB irradiation and the manifestation condition of P53 which takes part in natural death of keratinocyte were examined. Result : The results indicate that BB has significant effects on tyrosinase activity, and melanogenesis in vivo test. BB seems to reduce C57BL/6, external dermatological damage, for instance, erythematous papule, eczema, loss of keratinocyte, reduction in pus, and relieves dermatological damages. Conclusion : BB can be applied externally for UV protection and depigmentation.
