Background: BIOGF1K, a compound-K-rich fraction, has been shown to display anti-inflammatory activity. Although Panax ginseng is widely used for the prevention of photoaging events induced by UVB irradiation, the effect of BIOGF1K on photoaging has not yet been examined. In this study, we investigated the effects of BIOGF1K on UVB-induced photoaging events. Methods: We analyzed the ability of BIOGF1K to prevent UVB-induced apoptosis, enhance matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, upregulate anti-inflammatory activity, reduce sirtuin 1 expression, and melanin production using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, melanin content assay, tyrosinase assay, and flow cytometry. We also evaluated the effects of BIOGF1K on the activator protein-1 signaling pathway, which plays an important role in photoaging, by immunoblot analysis and luciferase reporter gene assays. Results: Treatment of UVB-irradiated NIH3T3 fibroblasts with BIOGF1K prevented UVB-induced cell death, inhibited apoptosis, suppressed morphological changes, reduced melanin secretion, restored the levels of type I procollagen and sirtuin 1, and prevented mRNA upregulation of MMP-1, MMP-2, and cyclo-oxygenase-2; these effects all occurred in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, BIOGF1K markedly reduced activator-protein-1-mediated luciferase activity and decreased the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinases (extracellular response kinase, p38, and C-Jun N-terminal kinase). Conclusion: Our results strongly suggest that BIOGF1K has anti-photoaging activity and that BIOGF1K could be used in anti-aging cosmeceutical preparations.

이온쌍고속액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 현재 우리나라에서 식품에 사용이 허용된 타르색소 8종과 일본등 외국에서는 허용되어 있으나 우리나라에서 허용되어 있지 않은 11종 등 총 19종의 동시 및 계통분석법을 확립하였다. HPLC에 사용한 컬럼은 Symmetry $C_18$, 이동상은 0.01 M TBA-Br이 함유된 0.025 M 초산암모늄용액-아세토니트릴-메탄올(65 : 25 : 10)과 0.01 M TBA-Br이 함유된 0.025 M 초산암모늄용액-아세토니트릴-메탄올(40 : 50 : 10)를 구배용매조성법(gradient mode)으로 사용하였다. 자외선 검출기의 파장은 동시분석의 경우 254 nm, 계통분석은 황색계통 420 nm, 적색계통 520 nm 그리고 청색 및 녹색계통은 620 nm로 설정하였다. 이때 색소들의 검출한계는 적색계통이 $0.05\;{\mu}g/g$, 황색계통은 $0.03\;{\mu}g/g$, 청색 및 녹색계통은 $0.01\;{\mu}g/g$이었다. Sep-pak $C_18$을 이용한 색소의 정제 방법은 혼합색소표준용액의 pH를 $5{\sim}6$으로 조정하고 0.1% TBA-Br을 가하여 색소를 보유시킨 다음 0.1% 염산-메탄올로 색소를 용출하여 HPLC로 분석하였다. 19종의 타르색소를 동시분석하는데 35분이, 계통분석시에는 18분 정도가 소요되었고 두 경우 모두 양호한 분리를 보였다.
