곰피추출물의 CCD-986sk cell line monolayer (human fibroblast, KCBL-21947)에 대한 피부세포 생리활성효과를 측정하고, 또한 곰피추출물의 Clone M-3 mouse melano-cyte cell line에 대한 melanin formation 저해효과를 측정하기 위해 in vitro레벨에서 실험을 실시하였다. 곰피는 다년생 갈조류의 일종으로 이 종은 한국 연안해역에서 중요한 1차생산자의 역할을 담당하고 있는 종이며 연안 생태계에 있어서 생태학적으로나 수산업상 매우 중요한 위치를 점유하고 있다. 최근 이러한 대형 갈조류에 관한 연구는 주로 생태학적인 관점에서 이루어져 왔으며(Notoya and Aruga 1990), 유주자의 발아와 핵분열(Yabu and Notoya 1985) 등에 관한 연구가 주로 일본의 연구자들에 의하여 보고된 바 있고, 국내에서는 Park et al. (1994)이 부산만 인근해역 곰피의 생장과 연령 조성에 관한 연구를 수행하였고, 순간접착제를 이용한 곰피의 이식 등에 관한 연구(최 등 2002)가 보고된 바 있다. 그러나 지금까지 곰피의 식품 또는 약품제제로서의 기능성을 밝히는 연구는 아직 미미한 실정으로 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 곰피추출물에 풍부하게 함유된 fucoidan, L-Ascorbic 산 및 collagen 등에 주목하여 곰피의 피부노화방지제로서의 가능성을 체계적으로 연구하기 위한 일환으로 우선 곰피추출물이 피부재생, 주름살제거 및 피부미백작용에 효과를 나타내는지 확인하기 위해 CCD-986sk cell line 및 Clone M-3 mouse melanocyte cell line을 이용하여 in vitro 수준에서 피부세포 생리활성 효과와 melanin formation 저해효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과 CCD-986sk cell line에 대한 세포생리활성 효과 실험에서 시험군인 곰피추출물 투여군은 대조군에 비해 강한 세포생리활성 효과를 나타내어 유의성 있는 실험결과를 보여주었고, Clone M-3 mouse melanocyte cell에 대한 melanin pigment 저해활성 효과 실험에서도 곰피추출물은 대조군에 비해 melanin pigment 생합성을 유의성 있게 감소시키는 실험결과를 나타내어 매우 흥미로운 결과를 보여주었다. 여러 가지 보고에 의하면 그동안 미국, 영국, 일본 등 구미 선진국의 과학자들은 intrinsic problems (피부구조 및 생리기능의 노쇠)과 extrinsic problems (자외선노출 및 스트레스)을 skin aging의 근본원인으로 규정짓고 피부 콜라겐과 엘라스틴을 재생시켜 피부 horny layer의 주름을 제거시키는 수 많은 종류의 chemical drugs를 개발하였고 현재도 개발 중에 있다 (Lavker et al. 1987; Choi and Oh 1997; Han et al. 1998). 그러나 이런 chemical에 비해 생체에 대한 부작용이나 세포독성이 상대적으로 적은 천연물을 이용하여 anti-skin aging drug을 개발하는 연구는 그 동안 부족했던 것이 현실이다. 한국은 오랜 역사를 통하여 화학물질이 아닌 다수의 천연물들을 임상에 적용하여온 역사를 가지고 있고 따라서 본 연구팀은 우리 남해안의 청정해역에서 자라는 곰피의 항피부 노화방지제로서의 개발 가능성에 주목하여 본 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 곰피추출물은 피부노화 및 skindarkness에 대한 대체치료물질 (alternative therapeutic agent)로서의 충분한 가능성을 보여주었다.

Background and Objective : Increasing interest in anti-aging and anti-wrinkling agents for the skin has triggered the recent outflow of researches and studies in this field. This study was designed to investigate the effects of bee venom on skin wrinkling and skin aging by testing the skin wrinkling, skin elasticity, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), free radical level, anti-oxidative agent level, and skin tissue after infusion of bee venom on hairless mouse. Materials and Methods : Fifteen hairless mice aged between 36~40 weeks were divided randomly into 3 Group; the Bee Venom Syringe Group, the Bee Venom Needle Group, and the control group. The Bee Venom Syringe Group were injected subcutaneously with bee venom (0.1cc in total) using an insulin syringe on three spots in the lumbar spine (one spot on the center and two spots 1~2cm to the side bilaterally). The Bee Venom Needle Group were pricked with bee venom-smeared acupuncture needles on three longitudinal spots in the lumbar spine each 1cm apart, after which the needles were removed 10 minutes later. The Control Group did not receive any form of intervention. All procedures took place thrice a week for four weeks, during which the mice were allowed free access to water and fodder. The mice were measured and compared in the weight, skin wrinkling scale, skin elasticity, and TEWL before and after the experiment. After the experiment, blood samples were taken to measure the free radical and anti-oxidative agent level, and the skin tissue was sliced for examination. Data was analyzed using the SPSS program (ver 12.0). The ANOVA analysis was used to compare and contrast the three groups, and t-test for paired samples was used to evaluate skin-wrinkling before and after experiment. The cut-off p-value of significance was set at p<0.05. Results : 1. Administration of bee venom did not cause serious weight loss or gain. 2. Compared to the control group, the Bee Venom Syringe Group and the Bee Venom Needle Group both showed a decrease in skin wrinkling scale after intervention. Especially, the Bee Venom Syringe Group showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). 3. Compared to the control group, the Bee Venom Syringe Group and the Bee Venom Needle Group both showed an increase in skin elasticity. Especially, the Bee Venom Syringe Group showed a significant increase (p<0.05). 4. No significant change in TEWL was found in the mice in all the three groups before and after experiment. 5. Free radical level was normal in all 15 mice in all the three groups, and anti-oxidative agent was not significantly different across the three groups. 6. The Bee Venom Syringe Group, the Bee Venom Needle Group, and the control group did not show any significant difference in the thickness of epidermis and dermis, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and skin wrinkling. The epidermis layer was relatively better preserved in the Bee Venom Syringe Group as compared to the Bee Venom Needle Group and the control group. Conclusion : Direct injection of bee venom on the hairless mouse using a syringe was found to improve wrinkling of the skin and increase skin elasticity but did not show effectiveness on skin dryness due to water loss. The bee venom appears to have suppressive effects on skin wrinkling, one of the symptoms of skin aging, through a process independent of suppression of free radicals or increase of anti-oxidative agent.

New supplements with preventive effects against skin photodamage are receiving increasing attention. This study evaluated the anti-photoaging effects of salmon nasal cartilage proteoglycan (SPG), acting as a functional material for skin health. We administered SPG to in vitro and in vivo models exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation and assessed its moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects on dorsal mouse skin and keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts cell lines. These results showed that SPG restored the levels of filaggrin, involucrin, and AQP3 in the epidermis of UVB-irradiated dorsal skin and keratinocytes, thereby enhancing the keratinization process and water flow. Additionally, SPG treatment increased the levels of hyaluronan and skin ceramide, the major components of intercellular lipids in the epidermis. Furthermore, SPG treatment significantly increased the levels of collagen and procollagen type 1 by down-regulating matrix metalloproteinase 1, which play a crucial role in skin fibroblasts, in both in vitro and in vivo models. In addition, SPG strongly inhibited mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) signaling, the including extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38. These findings suggest that dietary SPG may be an attractive functional food for preventing UVB-induced photoaging. And this SPG product may provide its best benefit when treating several signs of skin photoaging.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was reported to exert weak cytotoxicity against normal healthy cells such as C3H10T1/2 cells, but profound inhibitory effects on the initiation or promotion stage of chemical carcinogenesis in mammary gland, blood and mouse skin. This study was carried out to develop antitumor agents with weak side effects and strong antitumor activity. Human skin melanoma cells (HBT 69) and human oral epitheloid carcinoma cells (OCL 17) were cultured in RPMI-1640 media containing 10% fetal bovine serum, antibiotic, and fungizone. After incubation for 24 hrs, the cells were treated with various amounts of (EGCG) for 48 hrs. The growth inhibitory effects of EGCG in human oral epitheloid carcinoma cells were evaluated by the 3- (4,5-djmethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), neutral red (NR), and sulforhodamine B protein (SRB) assays of colorimetric methods. The light microscopic study was also carried out to observe morphological changes of the treated cells. These results obtained were as follows; 1. Significantly inhibitory effects of EGCG against cultured human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells. 2. Significantly inhibitory effects against cultured human skin melanoma cells treated with 50 $\mu$M EGCG, but decreased inhibitory effects in 100 $\mu$M EGCG. 3. Degenerative changes against cultured human oral epitheloid carcinoma cells. 4. Degenerative changes against human skin melanoma cells treated with 50 UM EGCG, but recovered degenerative changes in 100 $\mu$M EGCG.

The purpose of this study was to investigate usefulness of the pine needles extract on Atopic Dermatitis(AD)-like skin lesions. To investigate the effect of pine needles extract in vivo, atopic dermatitis (NC/Nga) mice using DNCB (2.4-Dinitrochlorbenzene) was used. NC/Nga mice were challenged with DNCB during 2 weeks to develope AD-like skin lesion. After that, pine needles extract was applied to AD-like skin lesion on the backs of the NC/Nga mice during 3 weeks. The efficacy of pine needles extract in the NC/Nga mice was evaluated by measurement of the skin lesion severity(NC mouse score), the serum IgE level, epidermal thickness changes, and mast cell number. Blood was collected from the retro-orbital area and the level of IgE in the blood was measured. The epidermal thickness and mast cell number were observed by microscopic method after H&E stain. The serum IgE levels were decreased after treatment with pine needles extract. The epidermal thickness and mast cell number were decreased after treatment with pine needles extract. To conclude, the topical application of pine needles extract suppressed the progression of AD-like skin lesion.
