The identification of novel reagents that exert a biological ultraviolet (UV)-protective effect in skin cells represents an important strategy for preventing UV-induced skin aging. To this end, we investigated the potential protective effects of Ettlia sp. YC001 extracts against UV-induced cellular damage in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). We generated four different extracts from Ettlia sp. YC001, and found that they exhibit low cytotoxicity in NHDFs. The ethyl acetate extract of Ettlia sp. YC001 markedly decreased UVB-induced cytotoxicity. Additionally, the ethyl acetate extract significantly inhibited the production of hydrogen peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species. Moreover, it inhibited UVB-induced thymine dimers, as confirmed by luciferase assay and thymine dimer dot-blot assay. Thus, the study findings suggest Ettlia sp. YC001 extract as a novel photoprotective reagent on UVB-induced cell dysfunctions in NHDFs.

자외선은 피부 노화를 가속화하여 피부 광노화를 유발하고, 일광 화상, 피부암 등을 유발한다. 자외선 차단제를 사용하더라도 일부 자외선에 의하여 피부 손상은 유발될 수 있기 때문에 자외선에 대한 피부 자체의 방어력을 올려주는 것이 필요하다. 최근, 식물에서 자외선 보호 기능을 하는 것으로 알려진 COP1이 사람의 피부에서도 자외선에 대한 반응들을 조절한다고 새롭게 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는, COP1과 그의 결합 단백질 DET1이 사람 피부의 각질형성세포에서 자외선에 대한 시그날 조절 물질인 c-Jun 단백질 양을 조절하는 것을 확인하였다. 자외선에 노출 시 COP1과 DET1 발현이 감소하였고, 그 영향으로 c-Jun 단백질이 증가하였다. 반대로 COP1과 DET1을 발현하는 DNA를 transfection 시켜줄 경우 c-Jun 단백질 양이 감소하였다. 피부 각질형성 세포에서 COP1과 DET1의 발현을 조절할 수 있는 물질을 탐색한 결과, 초피나무 열매 추출물이 COP1과 DET1의 발현을 증가시켜 주었다. 초피나무 열매 추출물은 c-Jun 시그날에 의해서도 조절되는 MMP1이 자외선에 의해 유도되는 것을 억제하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 초피나무 열매 추출물 PPAR-${\alpha}$ 활성이 있어 장벽강화를 통한 피부 보호 효과가 있는데, 자외선에 의하여 염증 유발 물질인 IL-6와 IL-8의 발현이 증가하는 것도 억제하였다. 사람의 팔에 자외선을 쪼여 준 경우에도 초피나무 열매 추출물이 홍반이 생기는 것을 억제하고 홍반에 의한 색소침착도 억제하였다. 종합적으로, 초피나무 열매 추출물은 다양한 메카니즘을 통하여 자외선으로부터 피부를 보호해 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Tea flavonoids and polyphenols are well known for their extraordinary antioxidant activity which is considered important for anti-aging processes in animals. This study evaluated the anti-wrinkle effects of three different kinds of tea (Camellia sinensis) water extracts (CSWEs) including green, white, and black teas using a photoaged hairless mouse model. Data showed that the CSWE-treatment greatly improved skin conditions of mice suffering from UVB-induced photoaging, based on the parameters including the skin erythema index, moisture capacity, and transepidermal water loss. In addition, the wrinkle measurement and image analysis of skin replicas indicated that CSWEs remarkably inhibited wrinkle formation. In histological examination, the CSWE-treated mice exhibited diminished epidermal thickness and increased collagen and elastic fiber content, key signatures for skin restoration. Furthermore, the reduced expression of MMP-3, a collagen-degradative enzyme, was observed in the skin of CSWE-treated animals. Interestingly, comparative data between green, white, and black tea indicated that the anti-wrinkle activity of white tea and black tea is equally greater than that of green tea. Taken together, these data clearly demonstrated that CSWEs could be used as an effective anti-wrinkle agent in photoaged animal skin, implying their extended uses in therapeutics.

자외선에 의한 만성 피부손상에 대한 누에동충하초($Paecilomyces$ $japonica$)추출물(PJE)의 방어효과를 피부주름 및 암발생을 지표로 관찰하였다. 자외선 단독 조사마우스에서 피부노화의 지표인 피부주름이 형성되었으며, PJE투여에 따라 주름등급은 낮게 나타났다. 실험 22주에 자외선 단독조사군에서 부형제 복강내주사군은 88.9%, 연고기재 피부도포군에서는 44.4%의 동물에서 1개 이상의 피부암이 발생되었다. PJE 복강내 주사의 경우 암발생 개시시간이 지연되었으며, 발생율은 PJE 복강내 주사군 및 피부도포군에서 공히 감소하였고, PJE 복강내 주사군의 경우 마리당 발생암의 수도 감소하였다. 실험 22주에 PJE 복강내 주사군에서는 80.0%, 피부도포군에서는 75.0%의 동물에서 암은 발생되지 않았다. 결론적으로 자외선 만성 노출에 의해 피부의 광노화 및 광발암이 나타났고 PJE에 의해 피부만성 손상이 완화됨을 알 수 있었다.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound found in various natural products such as grapes and berries and possesses anti-cancer, anti-hyperlipidemia, and anti-aging properties. Recently, it has been reported that resveratrol inhibits ${\alpha}$-melanocyte-stimulating hormone signaling, viability, and migration in melanoma cells. However, these effects have not been confirmed in vivo, specifically brownish guinea pigs. To evaluate the potential of resveratrol as a regulator of melanin for hyperpigmentation therapy, the influence of resveratrol on pigmentation was investigated by ultraviolet B-induced hyperpigmentation in brownish guinea pig skin. We found that resveratrol reduced the expression of melanogenesis-related proteins tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related proteins 1 and 2, and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor in melanoma cells. Furthermore, topical application of resveratrol was demonstrated to significantly decrease hyperpigmentation on ultraviolet B-stimulated guinea pig skin in vivo. Based on our histological data, resveratrol inhibits melanin synthesis via a reduction in tyrosinase-related protein 2 among the melanogenic enzymes. This study is the first to provide evidence supporting resveratrol as a depigmentation agent, along with further clinical investigation of resveratrol in ultraviolet B-induced skin disorders such as hyperpigmentation and skin photoaging.

Angelica tenuissima root has historically been used as a traditional medicine in Korea. Previous studies have identified the anti-melanogenic effects of the extract of A. tenuissima root fermented by Aspergillus oryzae (FAT). This study investigated the protective effects of FAT against ultraviolet light B exposure (UVB; $30mJ/cm^2$) in HaCaT (human keratinocyte) or Hs68 (human foreskin fibroblast) skin cells. FAT treatment was able to stimulate wound healing rate at the basal condition. FAT also favored the maintenance and/or improvement of extracellular matrix impairment caused by UVB irradiation through: 1) upregulation of procollagen Type-1 synthesis and secretion; 2) suppression of MMP-1 and elastase expression. FAT was able to play a role in the attenuation of inflammatory responses caused by UVB irradiation via upregulation of photo-protective hemeoxygease-1 and suppression of proinflammatory cyclooxygenase-2 expression. After further verification of the anti-photoaging potential of FAT, it could be utilized as an effective ingredient in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle cosmetics.

Retinoids are essential regulators of spithelial cell growth and celluar differentiation. They are also known to be effective in photoaging. It was reported that topical application of retinoic acid improves facial wrinkle carsed by collagen synthesis reduction in photodamaged skin. Collagen synthesis by retinoic acid may contribute to the wrinkle effacement. Since celluar retinoic acid binding protein II is slsctively induced in human skin and dermal fibroblasts in vitro by retinoic acid, this response can be used to mesure retinoids potency and activity. In order to know the activity of retinoids and their relations with collagen synthesis, we treated dermal fibroblasts with retinoids for 48 hours at 10-6-10-7M and measured CRABPII mRNA level by quantitative Nortern blotting. We also measured the rate of collagen systhesis by retinoids using 3-dimensional dermal equivalent. CRABPII mRNA level was increased 3-fold by retinoic acid, 2.1-fold by retinol and 1.4-fold by retinaldehyde. Collagen systhesis was increased 34% by all-trans retinioc acid, 26% by retinol, 17% by retinaldehyde and 7% by retinyl palmitate. From the above results, retinoids were found to be a potent indecers of CRABPII mRNA and collagen synthesis. Though retinoic acid was the most effective, its use has been restricted because of the side effects. Instead, retinol can be a best candidate in cosmetics for the treatment of photodamaged skin in terms of efficacy and safety.
