For a long time Rhus vemiciflua Stokes (RVS) has been traditionally used as a herbal plant in Asia. In this study, we have investigated the effect of acetone extract of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVSE) and fisetin, a component of RVSE, on DNA damage response in NIH3T3 cells. Exposure of cells to DVB light $(200 J/m^2)$ and postincubation in growth medium for 48 hr resulted in a decrease of cell viability to about $10-20\%$ of nontreated control. Addition of various concentrations of RVSE in the postincubation medium, however, significantly increased the cell viability as compared with the values expected. The genotoxicity-decreasing effect was also demonstrated in cells exposed to UVB light and incubated in medium containing fisetin. The genotoxicity-decreasing effect of RVSE and fisetin was further demonstrated by various analyses including cell morphology studies, trypan blue exclusion assay and DAPI staining. By Annexin V binding analysis, RVSE and fisetin were shown to decrease the early apoptosis induced by UVB exposure. These results suggest the RVSE contain components that either increase the DNA repair or decrease the apoptosis in UVB-exposed cells.

본 연구에서는 피부의 표피와 진피에 분포하는 HaCaT 세포와 HDF 세포를 이용하여 항산화효과가 우수한 두릅순 추출물의 처리가 UVB에 의한 피부광노화를 억제할 수 있는지 알아보기 위하여 피부 염증반응과 관련한 사이토카인과 피부의 주요 구성 단백질인 collagen에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 MMP-1, type-I procollagen, TRPV-1 등의 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. HaCaT에 두릅순 추출물을 24시간 전처리한 경우 UVB ($55 mJ/cm^2$) 노출로 인해 증가한 염증매개인자인 IL-6, IL-8, $PGE_2$를 유의하게 감소시켰다. 또한, 피부 collagen의 정상적인 구조 및 양에 영향을 미치는 단백질들의 발현을 측정한 결과 HaCaT에서는 UVB 조사로 인해 증가한 TRPV-1과 MMP-1 단백질의 발현이 두릅순 에탄올 추출물의 전처리로 모두 감소하였고, HDF에서는 UVB를 조사한 대조군에 비하여 두릅순 추출물 처리가 MMP-1 단백질 발현을 감소시키는 동시에 collagen의 전구체인 type-I procollagen의 발현을 증가시키는 효과를 보였다. 이들 결과들로부터 항산화효과가 우수한 두릅순 70% 에탄올 추출물은 피부세포에서 UVB에 의한 염증반응을 억제시키는 동시에 피부 collagen의 감소를 억제시킴으로써 피부 광노화를 예방할 수 있는 천연 소재로 이용될 수 있다고 본다.

The objective of this study was to evaluated the photoprotective effects of porcine placenta extract (PPE) on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative stress in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) to evaluate its functional activities as a skin food ingredient. PPE prepared by subcritical water extraction was termed SPE, and subsequently digested by enzymes to prepare E-SPE. Increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels (192.0%) induced by UVB were decreased by SPE and E-SPE. SPE had more effective ROS scavenging activity than E-SPE treatment. UVB treatment increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), and this elevated expression was decreased by E-SPE treatment. High-dose treatment with E-SPE (50 and 100 µg/mL) reduced TIMP-1 expression levels of UVB-C (control) to 33.5 and 34.6%, respectively. In contrast, at low SPE doses (1 and 10 µg/mL), the treatment slightly decreased TIMP- 1 expression levels to 73.3% and 71.3% of UVB-C, respectively. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the protective effect of SPE and E-SPE against UVB damage in keratinocytes via ROS scavenging, down-regulating MMP-2 expression and up-regulating TIMP- 1 expression. This highlights the potential for SPE as an ingredient in the preparation of functional food against photoaging.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure is a risk factor for skin damage resulting in oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) to improve its biological activities using a three-step steaming process. We investigated the protective effects of PG and steamed PG extracts on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) against UVB radiation-induced oxidative stress and inflammation as well as the underlying mechanisms. The antioxidant potential of the PG extracts was evaluated by measuring the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) scavenging activity. ABTS and DPPH were shown by the 0, 30, and 70% ethanol extracts of 2S-PG and 3S-PG ($IC_{50}$, 28~45 and $27{\sim}30{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). Treatment of UVB-irradiated cells with steamed PG ($25{\sim}400{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect their viability. The streamed PG extract suppressed UVB-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, streamed PG extract reduced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression in UVB-irradiated HDF, regulating nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$ expression. These findings suggest that steamed PG extract may be potentially effective against inflammation associated with UVB-induced oxidation stress.

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation alters multiple molecular pathways in the skin, thereby inducing skin damage, including photoaging. In recent years, probiotics have gained interest due to their beneficial effects on skin health, such as inhibiting atopic dermatitis and improving skin immunity or inflammation. However, little is known about the effects of probiotics on UVB-induced photoaging. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum HY7714 against UVB-induced photoaging in human dermal fibroblasts and hairless mice. The results showed that L. plantarum HY7714 treatment effectively rescued UVB-reduced procollagen expression through the inhibition of UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Data from a western blot showed that L. plantarum HY7714 inhibited the phosphorylation of Jun N-terminal kinase, thereby suppressing the UVB-induced phosphorylation and expression of c-Jun. Oral administration of L. plantarum HY7714 clearly inhibited the number, depth, and area of wrinkles in hairless mouse skin. Histological data showed that L. plantarum HY7714 significantly inhibited UVB-induced epidermal thickness in mice. Western blot and zymography data also revealed that L. plantarum HY7714 effectively inhibited MMP-13 expression as well as MMP-2 and -9 activities in dermal tissue. Collectively, these results provide further insight regarding the skin biological actions of L. plantarum HY7714, a potential skin anti-photoaging agent.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation causes DNA base modifications. One of these changes leads to the generation of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) due to oxidative stress. In human skin, this modification may induce sunburn, inflammation, and aging and may ultimately result in cancer. We investigated whether phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene), by enhancing the expression and activity of 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase 1 (Ogg1), had an effect on the capacity of UVB-exposed human HaCaT keratinocytes to repair oxidative DNA damage. Here, the effects of phloroglucinol were investigated using a luciferase activity assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions, western blot analysis, and a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Phloroglucinol restored Ogg1 activity and decreased the formation of 8-oxoG in UVB-exposed cells. Moreover, phloroglucinol increased Ogg1 transcription and protein expression, counteracting the UVB-induced reduction in Ogg1 levels. Phloroglucinol also enhanced the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) as well as Nrf2 binding to an antioxidant response element located in the Ogg1 gene promoter. UVB exposure inhibited the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk), two major enzymes involved in cell protection against oxidative stress, regulating the activity of Nrf2. Akt and Erk phosphorylation was restored by phloroglucinol in the UVB-exposed keratinocytes. These results indicated that phloroglucinol attenuated UVB-induced 8-oxoG formation in keratinocytes via an Akt/Erk-dependent, Nrf2/Ogg1-mediated signaling pathway.

자외선B(UVB: 290-320 nm) 방사선으로도 알려진 중간 파장 태양광선은 인간에게 조기 노화 및 산화손상에 의존하는 피부암을 유발할 수 있다. UVB가 유발하는 반응성 산소종(ROS)의 형성은 종종 이러한 광선에 과도하게 노출되는 결과로 MMP-1과 MMP-3와 같은 매트릭스 금속단백질(MMP)을 활성화할 수 있다. 이 효소들은 인간의 섬유질에서 type 1형 콜라겐을 분해한다. 본 연구에서는 블루베리(EEB)의 에틸 아세테이트 추출물의 항산화 및 항노화 효과를 평가했다. 블루베리의 항산화 실험은 DPPH 분석과 CCD-986sk 세포를 사용하여 ROS 생성을 평가했다. 블루베리의 주름방지 효능을 평가하기 위해 MMP-1 생성과 type 1형 procollagen 합성을 평가하고 Western Blot과 RT- PCR을 통해 MMP 1, 3의 발현량을 평가하였다. EEB는 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼의 소거능을 보이며 UVB에 유도된 ROS의 생성을 저해하였다. 또한 EEB는 procollagen 생성감소 및 MMP-1 생성량의 증가 등 광노화 및 피부암과 관련된 UVB로 야기되는 과정을 억제하였다. 더 정확히 말하면, EEB (50㎍/ml)는 MMP-1과 -3의 mRNA와 단백질 발현을 현저히 억제하였다. EEB의 항노화 효과는 항산화 작용에 기인한다. 이러한 연구 결과는 EEB가 type 1형 procollagen, MMP-1, MMP-3의 수준을 조절함으로써 인간 섬유아세포에서 UVB가 유발하는 노화로부터 보호 효과를 가지고 있음을 나타낸다.

Reactive oxygen species are capable of damaging biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, which can not only lead to various diseases, but also oxidative damage resulting aging. In our previous study, Cercis chinensis (Leguminosae) showed a potent antioxidant activity. Nineteen compounds were isolated through antioxidant activity-guided fractionation. The C. chinensis extract and some of the constituents exhibited a potent antioxidant activity on the free radicals and lipid peroxidation and a notable protective effect on the t-BuOOH induced oxidative damage. In vivo test of skin damage induced by UVB irradiation, the extract of C. chinensis and a constituent, piceatannol, exhibited a significant protective effect. The life-span of the HEK-N/F cells were extended by 1.21-2.12 fold as a result of the continuous administration of 3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of the C. chinensis extract and the active constituents compared to that of the control. These observations were attributed to the inhibitory effect of the C. chinensis extract and its constituents on the age-dependent shortening of the telomere. Thus, C. chinensis was demonstrated to protect the skin cells against oxidative stress and inhibit thereby the cellular aging, followed by expectation as anti-aging cosmetic ingredient.
