Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation alters multiple molecular pathways in the skin, thereby inducing skin damage, including photoaging. In recent years, probiotics have gained interest due to their beneficial effects on skin health, such as inhibiting atopic dermatitis and improving skin immunity or inflammation. However, little is known about the effects of probiotics on UVB-induced photoaging. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum HY7714 against UVB-induced photoaging in human dermal fibroblasts and hairless mice. The results showed that L. plantarum HY7714 treatment effectively rescued UVB-reduced procollagen expression through the inhibition of UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Data from a western blot showed that L. plantarum HY7714 inhibited the phosphorylation of Jun N-terminal kinase, thereby suppressing the UVB-induced phosphorylation and expression of c-Jun. Oral administration of L. plantarum HY7714 clearly inhibited the number, depth, and area of wrinkles in hairless mouse skin. Histological data showed that L. plantarum HY7714 significantly inhibited UVB-induced epidermal thickness in mice. Western blot and zymography data also revealed that L. plantarum HY7714 effectively inhibited MMP-13 expression as well as MMP-2 and -9 activities in dermal tissue. Collectively, these results provide further insight regarding the skin biological actions of L. plantarum HY7714, a potential skin anti-photoaging agent.

Metformin has been shown to be useful in reducing insulin resistance by restoring sensitivity. Recent evidence suggests that metformin might also possess anti-tumour activity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cisplatin combined with metformin on the proliferation, invasion and migration of HNE1/DDP human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, and to provide a new target for treating metastasis. The MTT assay was used to assess viability of HNE1/DDP cells after exposure to different concentrations of 2, 5-diaminopyrimidine-4, 6-diol (DDP; 2, 4, 8, 16, and $32{\mu}mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$), metformin (5, 10, 15, 20, and $25{\mu}mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$), and $4{\mu}mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of DDP combined with metformin. Wound healing and transwell migration assays were performed to assess cell migration and invasion, and expression of E-cadherin and MMP-9 was detected using Western blotting. MTT assay results showed that DDP could inhibit the proliferation of HNE1/DDP cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of $32.0{\mu}mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ at 24 h (P < 0.05), whereas low concentrations of DDP had almost no inhibitory effects on cell invasion and migration. DDP combined with metformin significantly inhibited cell invasion and migration. In addition, genes related to migration and invasion, such as those of E-cadherin and MMP-9, showed differential expression in the NPC cell line HNE1/DDP. In the present study, with an increasing concentration of metformin, the expression of MMP-9 was downregulated whereas that of E-cadherin was significantly upregulated. Taken together, our results show that cisplatin combined with metformin has effects on proliferation, invasion, and migration of human NPC cells.

본 연구는 항주름 소재를 개발하기 위해서 목단피로부터 gallic acid (GA)를 분리하여 항산화능을 측정하였고, HaCaT 세포에서 세포독성을 측정하였다. 또한 HaCaT 세포에서 tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$)에 의해 유도되는 matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) mRNA 발현, protein 발현, 분비에 대한 GA의 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과로써 GA는 30 ${\mu}g/mL$의 $IC_{50}$과 함께 항산화능을 나타내었고, 그것의 항산화능은 합성항산화제인 butylated hydroxyanisol (BHA)보다 높았다. GA는 HaCaT 세포에서 고농도인 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ 처리시 약한 세포독성을 나타내었다. 또한 HaCaT세포에서 TNF-${\alpha}$ (10 ng/mL)의 처리에 의해 증가된 MMP-1의 mRNA 발현, protein 발현, 분비는 GA의 처리에 의해 농도 의존적으로 유의적인 감소를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 그러므로 GA는 항산화 효과와 TNF-${\alpha}$로부터 유도되는 MMP-1의 발현을 저해함으로써 피부 주름을 개선할 수 있는 주름개선제로서의 활용가능성을 확인하였다.

The effects of Lavandula angustifolia extract fermented with Pediococcus pentosaceus DK1 on UVB-mediated MMP-1 expression and collagen decrease in human skin fibroblasts were determined, and the conversion of its components was also analyzed. Fermentation was performed at varying L. angustifolia extract and MRS medium concentrations, and optimal fermentation conditions were selected. L. angustifolia extracts showed decreased cytotoxicity after fermentation in the fibroblasts. UVB-irradiated fibroblasts treated with fermented L. angustifolia extract showed MMP-1 expression 8.2-14.0% lower than that in UVB-irradiated fibroblasts treated with non-fermented extract. This was observed even at fermented extract concentrations lower than those of non-fermented extracts. Fibroblasts treated with fermented L. angustifolia extract showed 20% less reduction in collagen production upon UVB irradiation than those treated with non-fermented extracts. UVB-irradiated fibroblasts treated with fermented L. angustifolia extracts showed 50% higher inhibition of ROS generation than those treated with non-fermented extract. Luteolin and apigenin glycosides of L. angustifolia were converted during fermentation, and identified using RP-HPLC and LC/ESI-MS. Therefore, the effects of L. angustifolia extract on MMP-1 expression and collagen decrease in UVB-irradiated human skin fibroblasts were increased through fermentation by P. pentosaceus.

Background: In aged skin, reactive oxygen species (ROS) induces degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to visible aging signs. Collagens in the ECM are cleaved by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Syringaresinol (SYR), isolated from Panax ginseng berry, has various physiological activities, including anti-inflammatory action. However, the anti-aging effects of SYR via antioxidant and autophagy regulation have not been elucidated. Methods: The preventive effect of SYR on skin aging was investigated in human HaCaT keratinocytes in the presence of H₂O₂, and the keratinocyte cells were treated with SYR (0-200 ㎍/mL). mRNA and protein levels of MMP-2 and -9 were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Radical scavenging activity was researched by 2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays. LC3B level was assessed by Western blotting and confocal microscopy. Results: SYR significantly reduced gene expression and protein levels of MMP-9 and -2 in both H₂O₂-treated and untreated HaCaT cells. SYR did not show cytotoxicity to HaCaT cells. SYR exhibited DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities with an EC₅₀ value of 10.77 and 10.35 ㎍/mL, respectively. SYR elevated total levels of endogenous and exogenous LC3B in H₂O₂-stimulated HaCaT cells. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy inhibitor, counteracted the inhibitory effect of SYR on MMP-2 expression. Conclusion: SYR showed antioxidant activity and up-regulated autophagy activity in H₂O₂-stimulated HaCaT cells, lowering the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 associated with skin aging. Our results suggest that SYR has potential value as a cosmetic additive for prevention of skin aging.

Primary culture된 연골세포 in vitro 실험모델을 이용하여 칠레와 덴마크 두 지역으로부터 생산된 로즈힙 추출물의 관절염 관련 효과를 비교 확인하였다. 먼저 MTT 시험법을 통해 세포 사용 적정농도를 600 ${\mu}g/mL$ 이하로 결정하였고 이를 근간으로 연골세포사멸억제, 염증관련인자(TNF-${\alpha}$, NO, Cox-2) 및 연골세포조직의 이화작용과 동화작용에 관여하는 인자의 유전적 발현을 측정하였다. $H_2O_2$ 처리에 따른 산화적 독성으로 연골세포 사멸을 유도한 실험에서 로즈힙 추출물은 정상세포 수준으로 사멸을 억제하였으며 이러한 효과는 칠레산에서 비교적 높게 나타났다. TNF-${\alpha}$의 생성 억제는 로즈힙 추출물 처리 시 27.4~31.9% 정도의 저해효과가 나타났지만 농도 의존적이지는 않았으며 두 지역 간의 유의성도 나타나지 않았다. NO의 생성 억제의 경우 농도의존적인 감소를 보였으며 고농도에서는 덴마크산이 보다 효과적인 것으로 확인되었다. Cox-2의 발현억제는 농도의존적인 경향을 나타내었으며 칠레산에서 다소 효과적인 것으로 여겨졌다. 연골세포조직의 동화작용과 이화작용에 관여하는 인자들 중 동화작용 인자인 collagen type I의 경우 고농도에서 정상세포 수준으로 발현을 촉진시킨 것으로 나타났지만 collagen type II의 발현에는 영향이 없었음을 확인하였다. 특히 aggrecan의 경우는 정상세포군에 비해서는 미비하였지만 $H_2O_2$ 처리군에 비해서는 유의적으로 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 측정하였던 동화작용 인자들 중에서는 지역적인 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. 이화작용에 관여하는 인자로서 MMP3, 7, 13의 유전자 발현을 측정한 결과 $H_2O_2$ 처리군에 비해 유의적으로 감소시킨 것으로 확인되었는데, 특히 MMP13에서 가장 큰 감소 효과를 나타내었다. 두 지역 간의 비교에서는 MMP3의 경우 고농도에서 덴마크산이 다소 효과가 높은 것으로 인지된 반면, MMP7, 13의 경우는 지역적인 차이가 유의적으로 나타나지는 않았다. 실험한 결과를 종합해 보면 로즈힙 추출물은 primary culture된 in vitro 실험모델에서 관절염 형성 억제효과가 있을 것으로 확인되었지만 지역적인 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 생각된다. 본 실험의 한계점으로는 기존에 사용되던 관절염 치료제 또는 건강기능식품을 양성대조군으로 사용하지 못하였기 때문에 로즈힙 추출물의 효과를 정량화하여 비교하지 못한점이 있음으로 향후 이 점을 보완할 필요성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are crucial extracellular matrices degrading enzymes that take important roles in metastasis of cancer progression as well as other significant conditions such as oxidative stress and hepatic fibrosis. Natural products are on the rise for their potential to provide remarkable health benefits. In this context, halophytes have been of interest in the nutraceutical field with reported instances of isolation of bioactive compounds. In this study, Limonium tetragonum, an edible halophyte, was studied for its ability to inhibit MMP-2 and -9 using HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells. Results showed that L. tetragonum extract was able to inhibit the enzymatic activity and mRNA expression of MMP-2 and -9 according to gelatin zymography and RT-PCR assays, respectively, but it was not able to significantly change the MMP pathway related factors such as tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. Also, Mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway-related protein levels and their phosphorylation were assayed. While the phosphorylated p38 levels were decreased, extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase were not affected by L. tetragonum treatment. In conclusion, it was suggested that L. tetragonum contains substances acting as MMP inhibitors on enzymatic activity rather than intracellular pathway intervention, which could be useful for further utilization of L. tetragonum as a source for anti-MMP agents.

자외선에 의한 활성산소 종의 생성과 피부 광노화 촉진은 피부표면 조직의 파괴와 피부염증유발, 홍반 등을 수반하며, 일상생활에서 항상 생활 자외선에 노출되어 있는 피부는 이러한 위험 요인과 직면하고 있다. 병이소초추출물의 유해 라디칼 소거 효과 실험 결과 $IC_50$ values가 $18.2\;{\mu}g/mL$로 superoxide 소거 효과가 우수하게 나타났으며, 세포 내에서 ROS에 의해 형광을 띠는 물질로 전환되는 CM-DCFDA를 이용하여 ROS의 양을 측정한 결과 자외선에 의해 증가된 세포 내 ROS의 양이 병이소초 추출물을 처리함으로써 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 30 % 이상의 우수한 소거효과를 나타내었다. 섬유아세포에 자외선(UVA) $6.3\;J/cm^2$으로 조사하고 병이소초 추출물을 처리한 결과, 자외선에 의해 높아졌던 MMP-1 단백질 발현량이 농도의존적으로 감소하였으며, $50\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 37.7 % 정도의 MMP-1 발현 억제효과를 나타냈다. RT-PCR 실험에서는 병이소초 추출물을 $10\;{\sim}\;50\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 처리한 결과, 자외선에 의해 높아졌던 MMP-1 mRNA의 발현이 농도 의존적으로 확연히 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 병이소초추출물은 자외선에 의해서 발생할 수 있는 피부손상에 대하여 효과적으로 보호할 수 있는 우수한 항산화 및 피부세포 보호소재로 적용될 수 있다.

Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 는 농도 의존적으로 DPPH와 superoxide radical에 대한 소거효과를 나타냈으며, 각각 0.8 mM에서 78%, 0.053 mM에서 92.9%로 DPPH와 superoxide radical을 소거하여 우수한 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. MMP-1 효소 활성 저해 효과도 0.16 mM에서 74%를 저해하였다. HDF에서 UVA에 의해 발현이 증가되는 MMP-1의 발현 저해 효과는 Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 0.8 uM에서 85.5%로 단백질 수준에서 모두 농도 의존적으로 발현 저해효과가 나타났다. Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 를 함유한 제품의 피부 주름개선 효과 평가 결과, Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 를 함유한 화장품을 약 8주 간 도포한 경우 유의한 주름개선 효과가 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 는 항산화 효과와 MMP-1활성 저해 효과 및 UVA에 의한 MMP-1의 발현을 저해하는 효과가 나타났으며 새로운 주름개선 기능성 화장품으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
