This research was carried out to investigate the moisturizing effects of Agarum cribrosum extract on normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). Moisturizing effects of A. cribrosum extract on NHEKs were measured by quantitative realtime RT-PCR to verify the gene expressions related to skin hydration, hyaluronic acid (HA)-ELISA to detect HA production, and cell viability assays. A. cribrosum extract increased the mRNA levels of the AQP3 and HAS2 genes and HA production in NHEKs. On the other hand, A. cribrosum extract decreased the mRNA level of the KRT1 and KRT10 genes known as differentiated keratinocyte marker in NHEKs. This research showed the moisturizing effects of A. cribrosum extract. The results indicate that A. cribrosum extract can be a potent functional ingredient for skin hydration and anti-aging products. Further study is warranted regarding the use of A. cribrosum extract to develop not only cosmetics but also food and medicine.

피부조직 콜라겐의 열안정성에 대한 기초자료를 얻고자 DSC를 이용하여 Tm(transition temperature)와 ${\Delta}H(enthalpy)$를 측정하였다. 수화시간과 수화율에 따른 불용성 콜라겐의 DSC 특성은 수화시간에 비하여 수화율이 콜라겐 구조안정성에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 수화율이 증가할수록 Tm은 낮아지고 ${\Delta}H$는 증가하였다. 주령 및 성별에 따른 acetone dried skin의 Tm 및 ΔH는 암컷의 경우보다 수컷의 경우가 다소 높았으며, 주령이 증가할수록 Tm과 ${\Delta}H$가 서서히 증가하고 있어 열안정성은 나이와 관계가 있음을 보여주었다. Acetone dried skin의 경우와는 달리 염가용성 콜라겐의 DSC 특성값은 암컷의 경우가 수컷의 경우보다 다소 높았으며, 암컷의 Tm과 ${\Delta}H$는 주령의 증가에 따라 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 피부조직내에서의 콜라겐 구조는 성별 또는 주령에 따라 달리 변화되고 있음을 간접적으로 시사한 것으로 생각되었다.

얼굴 피부는 신체 건강을 표현할 뿐만 아니라 매력을 결정하는 요소 중 하나이다. 특히 윤기 나는 피부는 대부분의 사람들이 선호하며 윤기 나는 피부 표현을 위해 다양한 화장품들이 만들어져왔다. 하지만 윤기 있는 피부는 주관적 평가이기 때문에 기름진 피부의 경우 기존의 피부 윤기 평가 방법으로는 명확한 윤기 있는 피부로 평가하기가 어렵다. 더욱이 윤기와 유사하게 광이 있지만 부정적으로 평가되는 번들거리는 피부와 명확한 분류 기준 또한 없는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 피부측정 파라미터 5개[피부 광채, 피부 보습, 피부 투명도, 피부 피지, 안면 이미지]를 측정하였고, 연구대상자들이 촬영된 안면 이미지를 근거하여 각각의 윤기 있는 피부와 번들거리는 피부의 이미지를 선별하여 피부 측정의 정량화를 통해 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 번들거리는 피부에서 피부 광채 및 피지 증가, 투명도 감소, 보습 감소를 확인하였다. 그러나 윤기 있는 피부의 경우 피부 광채, 피지, 투명도는 유사한 패턴을 보였지만 보습이 유의차 있게 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서는 기기측정 및 정량적 평가를 통해서 윤기 있는 피부와 번들거리는 피부를 분류하는 객관적 평가 기준을 제시하고자 한다.

Objectives : Skin aging is generally characterized by wrinkles, sagging, loss of elasticity roughness, pigmentation and dryness. This changes is caused by reducing the elements constituting the extracellular matrix contributing to the physiological properties of the skin, such as collagen fiber, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid. Adequate skin hydration is important to maintain normal skin function and reduce skin aging. The present study is objective to observe skin moisturizing effects of Unripe apple(UA, Immature fruit of Malus pumila Mill) in vivo and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods : ICR mice were orally administerd UA(100, 200 and 400mg/kg/day) for 8 weeks, and skin water contents and the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-𝛽1, ceramide, hyaluronan and collagen type I(COL1) were measured in dorsal back skin of the mice. Gene expression of hyaluronan synthase(HAS1, HAS2, HAS3), collagen synthase(COL1A1, COL1A2) and TGF-𝛽1 were also determined by realtime RT-PCR. Results : Skin water contents and the expression of TGF-𝛽1, ceramide, COL1 and hyaluronan were significantly increased in UA group(100, 200 and 400mg/kg/day) compared to vehicle control. The mRNA expression of HAS isoform(HAS1, HAS2, HAS3), COL1A1, COL1A2, and TGF-𝛽1 were also significantly increased by UA. Conclusions : UA has skin moisturizing effects and enhancement activities in skin function related components(COL1, hyaluronan, ceramide and TGF-𝛽1). These results suggested that UA can be a developing candidate for developing alternative skin protective agent or functional food ingredient.

Objective : The object of this study was to assess the efficacy of hydrolysate from Phellinus igniarius(HPI) on anti-aging activities in vitro measurement and mini clinical study performed on 5 subjects. Methods : To evaluate skin anti-aging efficacy of HPI, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity, type I collagen synthesis, inhibition of nitric oxide(NO) production, inhibiton of tyrosinase, hyaluronan synthase(HAS)2, 3 mRNA expression were measured in vitro. Also, mini clinical study of skin hydration was performed on 5 subjects using HPI in distilled water(DW) and 1,3-butylene glycol diluted solution(30% in DW). Results : 1. DPPH radical scavenging activity of HPI was increased in a dose-dependant. 2. Type I collagen synthesis was increased in 50, 100 and 500㎍/㎖ of HPI. 3. NO production was not inhibited in all concentrations of HPI. 4. Tyrosinase was inhibited in 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000㎍/㎖ of HPI. 5. HAS2 mRNA expression was increased in 50, 100, 150 and 200㎍/㎖ of HPI, HAS3 mRNA expression was increased in 100, 150, and 200㎍/㎖ of HPI. 6. In the mini clinical study of 5 subjects, there was a difference in skin hydration over time for each solutions, but it was not statistically siginificant. Conclusions : HPI increased DPPH radical scavenging activity, type I collagen synthesis, and HAS2, HAS3 mRNA expression. HPI also suppressed tyrosinase. The findings of this study suggest that HPI can be used as an skin anti-aging material.
