피부 기저막에 위치하고 있는 인간 상피 줄기 세포는 피부상피층의 항상성 유지에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 비록 상피 줄기 세포가 조직손상에 대한 반응으로 상처 회복에 필요한 새로운 세포들을 공급하고 있지만 일부 세포는 정지 상태로 남아 생존을 위해 분화와 노화로부터 보호된다. 이러한 관점에서 적소세포와 외부세포기질 단백질로 구성된 특정 미세환경인 줄기세포 적소는 줄기세포를 보호하기 위해 적절한 자극을 제공해 준다. 줄기세포 마커는 상피 줄기세포의 표면에 발현되며, 기저막의 세포외기질과 부착하여 장기간의 성장 잠재력을 가지며 외부 자극에 대한 세포 사멸의 저항성을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 외부자극의 주요 인자로써 자외선 조사가 인테그린 α2, β1 와 α6 의 발현을 저하시킴을 확인하였으며 붉나무 추출물이 자외선에 의해 유도되어지는 인테그린 발현 저하를 억제하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 붉나무 추출물은 콜라겐 IV와 라미닌과 같은 상피 줄기세포의 부착과 연관된 분자들의 발현을 상향조절 하였다. 이러한 결과는 붉나무 추출물이 줄기세포 표면의 인테그린의 발현을 증가시키고 적소에서의 세포외기질 성분의 발현을 증가시킴으로써 자외선 조사에 대한 보호효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Background: Valeriana fauriei (Valerianaceae) has been used to as a traditional medicine to treat a variety of symptoms, including headache, insomnia, hypertension, and menstrual irregularity. However, the present study investigates the species' antioxidant activity and its inhibition of oxidative DNA damage, which have yet to be studied. Methods and Results: The antioxidant activity was assessed using radical scavenging assays with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and, 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6 sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and a reducing power assay. The total phenol content was also analyzed, and phenolic compounds were detected using HPLC/UV, whereas the inhibitory effect of Valeriana fauriei on oxidative DNA damage was measured using ${\phi}-174$ RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity were $75.17{\pm}3.55%$ and $95.83{\pm}0.63%$, repectively, and the reducing power was $93.14{\pm}1.74$ at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The total phenol content was $10.24{\pm}0.04mg/g$, whereas chlorogenic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and epicatechin were identified using HPLC/UV, and the ${\phi}-174$ RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay indicated that V. fauriei provided protection against oxidative damage. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that V. fauriei has powerful antioxidant activity that can provide protective effects against the oxidative DNA damage caused by free radicals. The species, therefore, provides a valuable resource for the development of natural pharmaceutical to treat aging, cancer, and degenerative diseases.

Objectives : We investigated the anti-aging effect on skin with the extract of the needles of red pine, Pinus densiflora. Methods : We measured various effects related to skin such as the anti-oxidant effect, the protection against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, the inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, the induction of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), the reduction of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) synthesis and senescent cell. Results : The results were as follows : The extract of the needles of red pine (RP) had the potent anti-oxidant effect and the ROS scavenging effect. Also RP preserved the systemic anti-oxidant enzyme system (superoxide dismutase and catalase) from UVB irradiation. RP protected the cell membrane from the damages induced by UVB irradiation. RP induced HSP70, a mediator of resistance to UVB irradiation. RP reduced the synthesis of MMP-2 induced by UVB irradiation. And RP inhibited the amount of senescent-associated (SA) ${\beta}-galactosidase$ staining, as a marker of replicative senescence. Conclusions : The results of our study indicate that the extract of the needles of red pine, Pinus densiflora, has anti-aging effects on skin.

이산화티타늄(TiO₂)은 일반적으로 선크림 제제에 사용되어 빛의 물리적 산란 작용에 의해 피부 표면을 보호하고 유해한 자외선(UV)의 침투를 방지한다. 그러나 불활성 미네랄 성분으로 인해 피부에 사용시 백탁현상을 유발할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 또한 백탁현상을 없애기 위해 TiO₂ 입자를 나노화 하면 가시광선 투과율을 증가시켜 백탁 현상을 감소시키지만 알레르기 염증과 같은 심각한 피부 트러블을 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 산소 결핍 구조 및 질소량 제어를 이용하여 TiO₂의 밴드갭을 제어하고, 결과적으로 피부 맞춤형 유색 TiO₂를 개발하였다. 이는 백탁 현상을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 활성산소를 유발하여 피부 노화를 촉진시키는 것으로 알려진 블루라이트를 효과적으로 차단할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 밴드갭 제어 TiO₂ 화합물은 저자극이고 스펙트럼이 넓으며 환경친화적이다. 또한 이는 자외선 차단제의 sun protection factor (SPF)를 획기적으로 향상시켜 블루라이트 차단 제품에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In continuation of the previous work (Fathalla, 1992) on the synthesis of some heterocycles containing uracil moiety, we report herein the incorporation of uracil moiety into cyan-opyridine thione, thiosemecarbazone, semicarbazone, cyanopyridine, ami nocyano pyridine, isoxazoline, pyrazoline, pyrimidine, triazolo pyrimidine, pyran, selena and thiazole derivatives which might modify their biological activities. The biological studies revealed that the chemical compound III f showed high molluscicdal activity than other compounds. The profile of the nucleoprotein extracted from chemically (compound IIIc, e, f and g) treated or UV-irradiated B.alexandrina snails did not show appreciable differences when compared to non-treated (native) snails by using SDS-PAGE, where no obvious qualitative or quantitative differences were observed. Immunization of experimental animals with the nucleoprotein extracted from native, chemically (compound III f ＆ g) treated or physically treated B.alexandrina snails induced significant protection against challenge with normal S.mansoni cercariae, as compared to the non-immunized challenged control. As well as , a decrease in the number of granuloma formation and the size range of granuloma was also observed in immunized animals. It is concluded that, compounds III f and g have a potent molluscicidal activity. They also induced chemical modification comparable to that induced by physical treatment in the snail's nucleoprotein, which could possibly be used in immunization against S. mansoni infection.

In recent years, the safety of sunscreens has been challenged based on the reports of their adverse effect on users; dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and photo allergic contact dermatitis. The unscientific idea that higher SPF sunsreen is good for health mealeads many users to tend to prefer higher SPF sunscreen. In the toxicological aspect, the need to investigate the safety of sunscreens is steadily increasing. However, there were few studies on the correlation between sun protection factor (SPF) and the safety of sunscreens. The objective of this study was to assess whether there was a correlation between SPF and the safety of sunscreens. We measured in vitro SPF index using homosalate as a standard and examined the toxicity tests such as primary skin irritation tests, ocular irritation test and skin sensitization test. Homosalate (HS), octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), octyl salicylate (OS), octocrylene (OC) as UVB organic filter and benzophenone-3 (BP3), butyl methoxy dibenzoil methane (BMDM) as UVA organic filter, and titanium dioxide (TD), zinc oxide (ZO) as inorganic filters were used. The skin irritation indexes in rabbits treated with HS, OMC, OS, BP3, and BMDM were significantly increased as SPF indices were increased. Neither ocular irritation in rabbits nor skin sensitization in guinea pigs were increased. It suggests that there might be a good correlation between SPF and the skin irritation indices of organic UV filters and skin irritation might be one of most sensitive index to assess the safety of sunscreens.

The photosensitized lysis of egg lecithin lipid membranes (liposomes) have been performed to UV-B light (270-320 nm) by L-tryptophan(L-Trp) and its peptide such as N-acetylphenylalanyl-L-tryptophan(NAPT) incorporated in the liposomes(ca. 0.1% by weight) or in the external buffer (0.1-0.3 mM). Requirement of oxygenation suggests that the lysis of liposomes is caused by the photosensitized oxidation of lipids. There was significant protection against lysis photosensitized by Trp in the external buffer by low concentration of ferricyanide (0.8 mM), but there was no effect on the lytic efficiency by $N_3^-$ which is singlet oxygen($^1O_2$) quencher, indicative of an electron transfer mechanism involved in the photosensitization. The small change of the lytic efficiency with increasing pH from 4 to 9 was interpreted by large target theory and subsequently indicates that superoxide($O_2^-$) may be an active intermediate for the oxidation. The efficiency of photosensitization of Trp was higher than that of NAPT under the same experimental condition. The weak lytic efficiency of liposomes photosensitized by NAPT was enhanced by incorporating NAPT in liposomes, but it was again quenched by ${\beta}$-carotene incorporated in the bilayer of liposomes. These results indicate that a portion of liposome lysis may be due to $^1O_2$ formation from the excited NAPT.

This study was conducted to determine biological activities, such as lipid peroxidation inhibition, cytotoxicity, sun blocker, inhibition of tyrosinase, and antioxidative effect, of ethanol extracts, and of solvent fractionated ethanol extracts obtained from grape seeds and skins. The strongest lipid oxidative inhibition of 66.9% and 67.6% was observed respectively, in the presence of 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of both ethanol extract and water fraction of grape seeds. Overall, the ethanol extracts and their fractions of grape seeds exhibited stronger lipid oxidative inhibition than that of skin extracts. On the other hand, the ethanol extracts of grape skins showed stronger cytotoxicity than that of seeds on MCF-7, Hep3B, and A549 cancer cell lines. However, the water fraction of seed ethanol extracts showed the strongest cytotoxic effect of 76.52% and 67.01% on MCF-7 and Hep3B, respectively among their fractions. Ethanol seed extracts obtained at 3$0^{\circ}C$ had the strongest absorbance both at UVA region (350 nm) and UVB region (308 nm) and the chloroform fraction showed the strongest absorbance at W region and butanol fraction at UVA region among their tractions, respectively. In the meantime, the ethanol extracts obtained at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and butanol fraction showed the strongest tyrosinase inhibitory effect of 39.4% and 37.6%, respectively. This study shows that ethanol extracts and their fractions of grape seeds and skins could be potential good materials for functional food and cosmetic products.
