Background : The white jelly mushroom (Tremella fuciformis), one of the most popular edible fungi, has medicinal properties. However, the effects of T. fuciformis in skin whitening or anti-wrinkle efficacy has not been defined to date. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of T. fuciformis extracts on whitening and anti-wrinkle efficacy in skin cells. Methods and Results :We prepared T. fuciformis extracts with water. The extracts ($80^{\circ}C$) contained 12.11 mg/g polyphenol and 8.54 mg/g flavonoid concentration. T. fuciformis extracts markedly decreased melanin contents and tyrosinase activity in ${\alpha}$-MSH-stimulated melanocytes (B16F10 cells). In addition, the mRNA expression of melanin formation factors, such as microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) and tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP-2) were significantly down-regulated in ${\alpha}$-MSH-stimulated melanocyte. Furthermore, T. fuciformis extracts increased the synthesis of type I procollagen and reduced mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) in the human dermal fibroblast (HDFn cells). These data indicated that T. fuciformis extracts induce repression of cellular melanogenesis and protect against wrinkles caused by UVB-stimulated damage. Conclusions : Thus T. fuciformis extracts could be a cosmetic candidate for skin whitening and anti-wrinkle effects.

The bark of Berberis koreana Palibin was fermented by Bifidobacterium longum B6 and Lactobacillus paracasei at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hour, then extracted by water solvent at $100^{\circ}C$ for 180 min. Total pholyphenol and flavonoid contents were improved by fermentation process, compared to conventional water extraction. The barks of B. koreana Palibin extracts by B. longum B6 (FE-B.L.) and by L. paracasei (FE-L.P.) showed 17% and 16% cytotoxicity on human normal cell lines(HEK293) at 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$ of the highest concentration, respectively, which was about 3~5% lower than 20% from normal extracts (NE). DPPH radical scavenging activity of the FE-B.L. and FE-L.P. were about 73% and 75.9% higher than 56.8% of NE. The highest inhibitory potency on xathine oxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities were also measured as 31.9% and 61.9% by adding FE-L.P. of 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$. On tyrosinase inhibition test, the FE-L.P. showed highest activity as 75.9% at 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$. Generally, FE-L.P. showed higher antioxidant activities as well as higher tyrosinase inhibition activity, possibly due to high contents of total pholyphenol and flavonoid. In general, fermentation of barks of B. koreana Palibin has relatively better biological activities than normal extracts. Specifically, the extracts fermented by L. paracasei showed higher activities than that from B. longum B6.

In this study, the antioxidative effect, cellular protective effect and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract ($11.48\;{\mu}g$/mL) showed more excellent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical, DPPH) scavenging activity (FSC50) than those of leaf and stem extracts ($17.45\;{\mu}g$/mL). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity (OSC50) of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/H2O2 system were investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract ($0.56\;{\mu}g$/mL) showed 3 times more excellent ROS scavenging activity than L-ascorbic acid ($1.50\;{\mu}g$/mL). The protective effects of the ethyl acetate fractions of extracts from different parts of Cosmos bipinnatus on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The ethyl acetate fractions of leaf and stem extract and flower extracts suppressed photohemolysis in a concentration dependent manner ($10\sim50\;{\mu}g$/mL). The inhibitory effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract ($62.75\;{\mu}g$/mL) on tyrosinase was investigated to assess the whitening efficacy. The ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract showed 3.5 times higher tyrosinase inhibitory effect than arbutin ($226.88\;{\mu}g$/mL) known as an effective whitening agent. These results indicate that fractions of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. Fractions of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts can be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antioxidant and whitening.

Background: Panax ginseng is a marvelous herbal remedy for all ailments of body. That may be why it is called Panax, which means "cure for all". Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our skin; however, increased melanin production can lead to tumor formation. Human exposure to ultraviolet B radiation has increased extensively owing to the increased sunlight due to global warming. Consequently, a phenomenon called photoaging has been observed for all skin colors and types. As a result of this phenomenon, a set of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases, which serve as degradation enzymes for extracellular matrix proteins, mainly collagen, is increased, causing depletion of collagen and resulting in early wrinkle formation. Methods: Therefore, in our study, we used the murine melanoma cell line B16/F10 to study the inhibition of melanogenesis by Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) extract in vitro and HRM-2 hairless mice exposed to artificial ultraviolet B to examine the efficacy of KRG in vivo. We prepared a 3% red ginseng extract cream and evaluated its effects on human skin. Results: Our results demonstrated that KRG induced potent suppression of tyrosinase activity and melanin production in B16/F10 cells; moreover, it reduced the transcription and translation of components involved in the melanin production pathway. In the in vivo experiments, KRG potently suppressed the expression of matrix metalloproteinases, reduced wrinkle formation, and inhibited collagen degradation. On human skin, ginseng cream increased skin resilience and skin moisture and enhanced skin tone. Conclusion: Therefore, we conclude that KRG is an excellent skin whitening and antiaging product.

The activation of NF-$\kappa$B induced by kojic Acid, an inhibitor of tyrosinase for biosynthesis of melanin in melanocytes, was investigated in human transfectant HaCaT and SCC-13 cells. These two keratinocyte cell lines transfected with pNF-$\kappa$B-SEAP-NPT plasmid were used to determine the activation of NF-$\kappa$B. Transfectant cells release the secretory alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) as a transcription reporter in response to the NF-$\kappa$B activity and contain the neomycin phosphotransferase (NPT) gene for the dominant selective marker of geneticin resistance. NF-$\kappa$B activation was measured in the SEAP reporter gene assay using a fluorescence detection method. Kojic Acid showed the inhibition of cellular NF-$\kappa$B activity in both human keratinocyte transfectants. It could also downregulate the ultraviolet ray (UVR)-induced activation of NF-$\kappa$B expression in transfectant HaCaT cells. Moreover, the inhibitory activity of kojic Acid in transfectant HaCaT cells was found to be more potent than known antioxidants, e.g., vitamin C and N~acetyl-L-cysteine. These results indicate that kojic Acid is a potential inhibitor of NF-$\kappa$B activation in human keratinocytes, and suggest the hypothesis that NF-$\kappa$B activation may be involved in kojic Acid induced anti-melanogenic effect.

본 연구에서는 밤나무 잎 추출물의 항산화 활성 및 주름과 미백에 관련된 tyrosinase와 elastase의 활성에 대한 억제 효능을 측정하였으며, 밤나무 잎 추출물에 함유된 플라보노이드 성분에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 항산화 활성측정 결과로, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH)을 이용한 free radical 소거활성은 50% ethanol 추출물($13.6{\mu}g/mL$ < ethyl acetate 분획(6.2) < aglycone 분획(2.1)으로 나타났고, lumionl-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(ROS)의 소거활성은 aglycone 분획(0.8) < 50% ethanol 추출물(0.5) < ethyl acetate 분획(0.3) 순으로 나타났다. NET법을 이용한 xanthine과 xanthine oxidase의 반응으로부터 생성된 ${O_2}^{{\cdot}\;-}$의 소거활성은 aglycone 분획(65.5)이 ethyl acetate 분획(145.5)보다 더 높게 나타났으며, rose-bengal과 빛으로 유도된 사람 적혈구의 용혈에 대한 세포보호 활성은 $10{\mu}/mL$에서 aglycone 분획이 가장 높은 세포보호 활성을 나타내었다. Elastase 저해활성은 aglycone 분획이 oleanolic acid ($13.7{\mu}/mL$)에 비해 훨씬 좋은 $9.1{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 뛰어난 주름 개선효과가 있을 것으로 생각된다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 aglycone 분획이 미백 관련 화장품 고시 원료인 arbutin ($226.2{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 훨씬 좋은 $21.6{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 뛰어난 미백 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되어 B16 melanoma 세포를 이용한 멜라닌 합성 저해 활성을 측정하였다. 측정에 앞서 세포 독성 실험에서는 ethyl acetate 및 aglycone 분획이 $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이하에서 80% 이상의 세포 생존율을 나타내었고, $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이하에서의 멜라닌 합성 저해활성 측정 결과, ethyl acetate 및 aglycone 분획이 arbutin보다 훨씬 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 항산화 및 항노화 활성을 나타내는 밤나무 잎 추출물의 플라보노이드 성분을 TLC와 HPLC를 통해 분석한 결과 kaempferol, quercetin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, hyperin, rutin이 함유되어 있었고, 그 중에서도 quercitrin이 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 밤나무 잎 추출물이 free radical, ROS를 소거하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리킨다. 또한 자외선으로 인한 기미, 주근깨 과형성 및 주름 생성에 있어 상당한 저해 효과를 나타낼 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 레몬밤추출물과 발효추출물의 항산화, 성분 분석 및 tyrosinase 저해 효과에 관한 조사를 수행하였다. 추출물의 free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}$)은 발효추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획 ($8.38{\mu}g/mL$)에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었고, 또한 Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_{2}O_{2}$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 레몬밤추출물의 총 항산화능은 발효추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획($0.63{\mu}g/mL$)에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 레몬밤추출물과 발효추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 세포보호 효과를 측정하였다. 레몬밤추출물과 발효추출물의 경우 $5\;{\sim}\;75{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 농도 의존적으로 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. Tyrosinase의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)는 50 % ethanol 추출물($365{\mu}g/mL$) < 발효추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획($122.43{\mu}g/mL$) < ethyl acetate 분획($94.8{\mu}g/mL$) 순으로 나타났다. 레몬밤추출물 중 ethyl acetate 분획과 발효추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획은 TLC에서 공통으로 2개의 띠로 분리되었다. 또한 HPLC (330 nm)에서도 ethyl acetate 분획과 발효추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획이 각각 2개 peak로 나타났다. 각각의 크로마토그래피로부터 ethyl acetate 분획의 peak 1 (51.64 %)은 caffeic acid, peak 2 (48.36 %)는 rosmarinic acid 임을 확인하였으며, 또한 발효추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획에서도 peak 1 (4.13 %)과 peak 2 (95.87 %)는 각각 caffeic acid와 rosmarinic acid로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과들은 레몬밤의 50 % ethanol 추출물 및 발효추출들이 $^{1}O_{2}$ 혹은 다른 ROS를 소광시키거나 소거함으로써 그리고 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 그리고 또한, 레몬밤 추출물과 발효추출물의 성분 및 함량을 분석함으로써 발효 후에 차이점을 확인, 이를 통한 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.
