  • Objectives : To investigate the photoprotective effects and efficacy of Jaummi-dan (Ciyinmei-dan) on UV damage to animal skin/fibroblast cultures. Methods and Results : Hairless mice were orally administered Jaummi-dan (Ciyinmei-dan) extract and irradiated with UV for four weeks. In the Jaummi-dan (Ciyinmei-dan) treated group, a better skin appearance and less wrinkles were observed when compared to the control group. In addition, immunostaining for type 1 pN collagen showed that the amount of collagen deposition was higher in the Jaummi-dan (Ciyinmei-dan) treated group. The interstitial collagenase was measured in the cultured medium of fibroblasts after UVB irradiation using ELISA for MMP-l. Jaummi-dan (Ciyinmei-dan) treatment resulted in a significant decrease in MMP-1 secretion compared to the UVB-irradiated, untreated group. Conclusions : The results of our study indicate that orally administered Jaummi-dan (Ciyinmei-dan) seems to have photoprotective effects on UV damaged hairless mouse skin partly due to an inhibitory effect on collagen breakdown.
