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.

피부 섬유아세포는 인간 피부의 주요 콜라겐 생산 세포이다. 노화가 진행되면, 섬유아세포에서의 콜라겐 생산이 감소되고, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)에 의해 시작되는 콜라겐 조각화가 증가된다. 즉 섬유아세포의 콜라겐 항상성의 불균형으로 인해 피부 collagenous, 세포외기질(ECM)의 구조와 기능이 변형되어, 피부노화가 촉진되는 것이다. Cysteine rich protein 61 (CCN1)는 CCN family의 일부이며, 인간피부의 섬유아세포에서 콜라겐 항상성을 조절하는 단백질이다. 노화된 인간 피부 섬유아세포에서의 CCN1 과 발현은 실질적으로 유형 I procollagen 생성을 감소시킴과 동시에 MMP-1의 발현을 증가시켜 섬유의 콜라겐 저하를 일으킨다. 그리고 노화된 섬유아세포는 노화 전 섬유아세포에 비해 증식률이 감소한다. 본 연구에서 만들어 사용한 복제 노화 피부 섬유아세포는 유형 I procollagen의 생성량이 감소하였고, MMP-1의 발현 수준이 증가하는 특징을 나타냈다. 또한 CCN1 단백질의 발현이 증가되고, 증식률이 감소하는 특징을 나타냈다. 가수분해 구멍갈파래 추출물은 노화 전 섬유아세포에서 새로운 콜라겐의 합성을 촉진하고 자외선에 의해 증가된 MP-1의 발현을 감소시켜 광노화를 개선하는 물질로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 활성을 나타내는 가수분해 구멍갈파래 추출물을 사용하여, 복제 노화 피부 섬유아세포에서 가수분해 구멍갈파래 추출물에 의한 CN1 단백질의 발현 억제 여부를 조사하였으며, 이들 추출물은 배양된 복제 노화 피부 섬유아세포에서 유형 I procollagen의 생성을 증가시켰으며, MMP-1 발현을 억제시키는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 콜라겐 항상성을 조절하는 단백질인 CN1 발현을 크게 감소시켰으며, 노화세포의 증식률을 증가시켰다. 이 결과는 복제 노화 섬유아세포가 in vitro 자연 노화모델로 화장품 원료 활성 연구에 사용될 수 있음을 말한다. 그리고 가수분해 구멍갈파래 추출물은 광노화 뿐 아니라 자연노화를 개선하는 피부미용제로 주름개선 기능성 화장품에 사용가능 하다는 것을 의미한다.

Mechanical stimulation is known to activate several cellular signal transduction pathways, leading to the induction of signaling molecules and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, thereby modulating cellular activities, such as proliferation and survival. In this study, primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were seeded onto chitosan-based scaffolds, and then cultured for 3 weeks in a bioreactor under a cyclic strain of 1 Hz frequency. Compared to control samples cultured under static conditions, the application of a cyclic strain stimulated the proliferation of HDFs in I week, and by week 3 the thickness of the cell/scaffold composites increased 1.56 fold. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining of the culture media obtained from the cell/scaffold samples subjected to the cyclic strain, revealed increases in the expression and secretion of ECM proteins, such as fibronectin and collagen. These results suggest that the preconditioning of cell/scaffold composites with a cyclic strain may enhance the proliferation of HDFs, and even facilitate integration of the engineered artificial dermal tissue into the host graft site.

말채나무는 한국의 민간요법으로 사용되던 약재이다. 자외선은 피부의 광손상을 일으키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 자외선에 의한 손상된 세포를 회복시키기 위해서 효소처리 된 말채나무잎추출물(CWE)을 사용하였다. 섬유아세포에 UVB를 조사한 후, CWE를 처리하여 세포의 회복을 조사하였다. UVB를 조사한 섬유아세포에는 caspase-3 활성, phospho-p53, ${\gamma}H2AX$, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) formation, 그리고 DNA fragmentation이 증가하게 된다. 그러나 CWE를 UVB가 조사된 섬유아세포에 12 h 처리하였을 때 caspase-3 활성, phospho-p53, ${\gamma}H2AX$, CPDs formation, 그리고 DNA fragmentation이 감소하였다. 또한 CWE은 인체첩포시험을 통해 인체피부에 자극을 유발하지 않음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 종합할 때 CWE는 자외선에 대한 광보호 효과가 있는 원료로서 가능성을 가지고 있다고 판단된다.

Background: The cellular senescence of primary cultured cells is an irreversible process characterized by growth arrest. Restoration of senescence by ginsenosides has not been explored so far. Rg3(S) treatment markedly decreased senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels in senescent human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). However, the underlying mechanism of this effect of Rg3(S) on the senescent HDFs remains unknown. Methods: We performed a label-free quantitative proteomics to identify the altered proteins in Rg3(S)-treated senescent HDFs. Upregulated proteins induced by Rg3(S) were validated by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analyses. Results: Finally, 157 human proteins were identified, and variable peroxiredoxin (PRDX) isotypes were highly implicated by network analyses. Among them, the mitochondrial PRDX3 was transcriptionally and translationally increased in response to Rg3(S) treatment in senescent HDFs in a time-dependent manner. Conclusion: Our proteomic approach provides insights into the partial reversing effect of Rg3 on senescent HDFs through induction of antioxidant enzymes, particularly PRDX3.

Cytokines are hormone-like proteins which mediate and regulate inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in the final differentiation of B cells into antibody-producing cells. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a neutrophil chemotactic factor that plays an important role in the recruitment of neutrophil to inflammatory loci. Inflammatory mediators by cells in the gingiva have been implicated in the initiation and progression of periodontitis and oral infection. The purpose of this study was conducted to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) on production of IL-6 and IL-8 by human gingival and facial dermal fibroblasts. Primary cultured human gingival and facial dermal fibroblasts were incubated with LPS (0.01, 0.1, $1.0{\mu}g/ml$), SEB (0.01, 0.1, $1.0{\mu}g/ml$) or LPS $(0.1{\mu}g/ml)$ plus SEB $(0.1{\mu}g/ml)$. Culture supernatants were collected at 24, 48, and 72 hrs and assessed for IL-6 and IL-8 production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IL-6 production in gingival fibroblasts stimulated with LPS was higher than that with SEB. IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-6 production in facial dermal fibroblasts was increased only by stimulation with a high concentration of LPS $(1.0{\mu}g/ml)$. Its production in facial dermal fibroblasts by exposure with SEB was decreased in comparison with control, nontreated cells. Therefore, gingival fibroblasts showed higher sensitivity than facial dermal fibroblasts in response to low concentration of LPS. Also, IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-8 production in gingival fibroblasts was enhanced greatly only by stimulation of high concentration of LPS $(1.0{\mu}g/ml)$. That by exposure with SEB was increased only in 24 hrs cultivation. IL-8 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-8 production in facial dermal fibroblasts was decreased by LPS and increased only in 48 hrs cultivation by SEB. IL-8 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was enhanced only in 48 hrs cultivation in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. therefore, IL-6 and IL-8 production were released at various quantities according to bacterial toxin applied and site of fibroblast harvested. These results suggest that gingival fibroblasts may be concerned with IL-6 and IL-8 related inflammatory response more than facial dermal fibroblasts.

피부재생에 대한 지방줄기세포 배양상등액(ADSC-CM)의 효능에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. ADSC-CM이 피부재생에 기여하는 기작은 명확하지 못하지만, ADSC-CM은 다양한 분비물을 포함하고 있고 따라서 피부트러블 처리를 위한 훌륭한 재료이다. 저 산소 상태에서 생산된 ADSC-CM, 즉 advanced adipose-derived stem cell protein extract (AAPE)는 피부재생에 보다 좋은 재료이다. 본 연구는 피부 재생에 결정적 역할을 하는 인체 primary 세포인 섬유아세포(HDF)와 케라티노사이트(HK)를 이용하여 AAPE의 효능을 검증하였다. 0.32 ${\mu}g/ml$ AAPE에서 콜라겐 합성이 관찰 되었으며 AAPE는 stress fiber 형성을 강화하였다. DNA microarray 결과에서는 세포증식, 세포이동, 세포부착, 상처반응에 관여하는 133개의 유전자 발현이 조절되는 것을 알았다. Antibody array를 통해 CD54, FGF-2, GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-6, VEGF, TGF-${\beta}2$, TGF-${\beta}3$, MMP-1, MMP-10, 그리고 MMP-19와 같은 MMP, 성장인자, 사이토카인등 25개의 알려진 단백질이 포함되어 있다는 것을 알았다. 따라서, AAPE는 HK의 세포생물학적 기능을 활성화 할 수 있다고 사료되며 HDF에서는 콜라겐 합성을 유도하였다. 이러한 결과는 AAPE가 피부재생에 임상적 적용이 가능하리라는 것을 의미한다.

A novel retinol derivative, polyethoxylated retinamide (Medimin A) was synthesized, as an anti-aging agent. Collagen synthesis, skin permeation, stability, and toxicity of Medimin A were evaluated and compared with those of retinol and retinyl palmitate. In vitro collagen synthesis was evaluated by quantitative assay of [$^3H$]-proline incorporation into collagenase sensitive protein in fibroblast cultures. For in vitro skin permeation experiments, Franz diffusion cells (effective diffusion area: $1, 766{\;}\textrm{cm}^2$) and the excised skin of female hairless mouse aged 8 weeks were used The stabilities of retlnoids were evaluated at two different temperature ($25{\;}^{\circ}C$ and $40{\;}^{\circ}C$) and under UV in solubilized state and in OW emulsion. To estimate the safety, acute oral toxicity, acute dermal toxicity, primary skin irritation, acute eye irritation and human patch test were performed The effect of Medimin A on collagen synthesis was similar to that of retinol. The skin permeability of Medimin A was higher than those of retinol and retinyl palmitate. The Medimin A was more stable than retinol and retinyl palmitate. Medimin A was nontoxic in various toxicological tests. These results suggest that Medimin A would be a good anti-aging agent for enhancing bioavailability and stability.

Purpose : In this study, we intended to observe the anti-wrinkle and moisturizing effects of dried pomegranate juice concentration powder (PCP) using in vitro test. Materials and methods : Antioxidant effects of PCP were determined by free radical scavenging capacity (DPPH assay) and the cytotoxicity of PCP was examined in human keratinocyte (HaCaT) and human primary dermal fibroblast-neonatal (HDF) cells. To investigate the moisturizing effect of PCP, hyaluronan synthesis was examined in HaCaT cells. Activity of procollagen production were assessed in HDF cells and elastase inhibition properties of PCP were evaluated in cell free condition, to determine their anti-wrinkle effects. Metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) activity was also assessed following UVB irradiation, in the current in vitro experiment. Results : No PCP treatment related significant cytotoxic effects were demonstrated against to the both HDF and HaCaT cells. PCP showed favorable free radical scavenging activities in dose-dependent manner. In PCP-treated HaCaT cells, hyaluronan synthesis was non-significantly but markedly increased, and pro-collagen productions were significantly increased in HDF cells, at all three different concentrations (0.25, 0.75 and 1 mg/ml), and elastase inhibitory activities were observed by PCP treatment. A significant decrease in UVB-induced MMP-1 activity was also observed in 1 mg/ml PCP-treated HDF cells as compared to those of UVB-exposed cells. Conclusions : Taken together, these results suggest that PCP has favorable antioxidant, anti-wrinkle and moisturizing effects without meaningful cytotoxicity on HDF and HaCaT cell lines.

본 연구에서는 발효 돈태반 (fermented porcine placenta, FPP)과 그의 주요 다이펩타이드인 L-Leucyl-Glycine (Leu-Gly), Glycyl-L-Leucine (Gly-Leu)의 섭취가 UVB 조사에 의한 무모 쥐의 피부 주름 생성에 미치는 효능을 알아보았다. Human Primary Dermal fibroblasts-Neonatal (HDF-N) 세포에서 세포 독성을 나타내지 않는 농도를 설정하여 평가하였을 때, FPP, Leu-Gly, Gly-Leu 처리 시 procollagen의 증가 및 MMP-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1)의 감소를 확인하였다. 또한 무모 생쥐에 주 3회 UVB를 조사하여 광노화를 유도하였고, FPP 10, 100 mg/kg, Leu-Gly 10 mg/kg, Gly-Leu 10 mg/kg을 매일 총 8주간 경구투여 한 후, 주름생성, 홍반및 MMPs의 발현량을 측정하였다. 8주간 진행된 동물 실험 결과 UVB만 조사한 군과 비교하여 UVB를 조사하고 FPP, Leu-Gly, Gly-Leu을 섭취시킨 군에서 주름생성과 홍반이 감소하였고 피부 수분함량과 콜라겐 생합성이 증가하였다. 뿐만 아니라 FPP, Leu-Gly, Gly-Leu 섭취군에서 콜라겐 분해효소인 MMP-3, MMP-13의 mRNA 발현량이 감소하였고, MMP-2와 MMP-9의 활성이 감소하였다. 결과를 종합하였을 때, FPP의 주요 다이펩타이드인 Leu-Gly과 Gly-Leu은 자외선에 의한 주름 생성을 억제하고, 피부 손상을 회복시키는 효능을 갖는 피부미용식품 소재로서 활용 가능성이 클 것으로 사료된다.
