This study was performed to evaluate the effect of persimmon leaves extract on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured melanoma cells. The B16/F10 melanoma cells were treated with various concentrations of t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). And also, the effect of persimmon leaves (PL) extract on the cytotoxicity mediated by t-BHP was done on the cell viability, tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis by colorimetric assays. In this study, t-BHP decreased cell viability in dose-dependent manner and XTT90 and XTT50 values were measured at 10 and 35 uM of PL, respectively in these culture. And also, XTT50 value was assessed as a highly toxic effect on cultured melanoma cells by the toxic criteria. In the effect of PL extract on the t-BHP-mediated cytotoxicity, PL extract significantly increased the cell viability injured by t-BHP in cultured B16/F10 melanoma cells. PL also showed the decreased tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. From these results, it is suggested that ROS such as t-BHP showed highly toxic effect on cultured melanoma cells, and also, PL extract inhibited the tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in cultured melanoma cells injured by ROS.

Purpose: This study was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of Persimmon Leaves extract (PL) on melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells B16F10. Methods: The inhibitory effects of PL on melanin synthesis were determined by in vitro assay. To elucidate inhibitory effects of PL on melanin synthesis, we determined the melanin release and melanin production in B16F10. And to investigate the action mechanism, we assessed the gene expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, PKA, PKC${\beta}$, ERK-1, ERK-2, AKT-1, MITF in B16F10. Results: 1. PL inhibited melanin release, melanin production in B16F10. 2. PL inhibited tyrosinase activity in vitro and in B16F10. 3. PL suppressed the expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2 in B16F10. 4. PL suppressed the expression of PKA, PKC${\beta}$ in B16F10. 5. PL increased the expression of ERK-1, ERK-2, AKT-1 in B16F10. 6. PL suppressed the expression of MITF in B16F10. Conclusion: From these results, it may be concluded that PL is possesed of the antimelanogenetic effects.

본 연구에서는 시엽의 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 항산화와 인간섬유아세포인 CCD-986sk 세포에서의 항주름 효과를 알아보았다. 전자공여능 측정, ABTS⁺ radical 소거능 측정을 통해 항산화 활성을 확인한 결과, 시엽은 1,000 ㎍/ml 농도에서 대조군인 ascorbic acid와 농도 의존적으로 유사한 항산화 활성을 보였다. Elastase 저해 활성 측정, Collagenase 저해 활성 측정을 통해 항주름 효과를 확인한 결과, 시엽은 1,000 ㎍/ml 농도에서 대조군인 epigallocatechin gallate와 농도 의존적으로 유사한 항주름 효과를 나타내었다. UVB로 유도된 CCD-986sk 세포 내 pro-collagen type I의 합성률과 MMP-1의 저해률을 측정한 결과 대조군인 EGCG는 20 ㎍/ml에서 90.2%, 시엽은 30 ㎍/ml에서 88.5%의 pro-collagen 합성률을 보였다. 또한 EGCG 20 ㎍/ml와 시엽 30 ㎍/ml에서 각각 33.0%, 40.8%의 MMP-1 저해율을 확인하였다. Western blot을 통하여 시엽의 pro-collagen type I과 MMP-1의 단백질 발현량을 측정한 결과 UVB 단독군 대비 시엽을 함께 처리했을 때 pro-collagen type I의 단백질 발현량이 증가하고 MMP-1의 단백질 발현량이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 위 실험결과에 따라 시엽이 UVB 자극에 의한 광노화를 예방하고 항산화, 항주름 효과가 있음을 확인하여 화장품의 천연물 소재로서의 이용이 기대된다.
