Abstract

Glucosylceramides (GluCer) are known to play an important role in both water retention and epidermal permeability barrier function in the mammalian stratum corneum. In this study, we investigated the effects of pineapple fruit extract containing glucosylceramides (PFEG) on the maintenance and recovery of skin barrier function using atopic dermatitis-induced animal models. Five-week-old male Hos:HR-1 mice were divided into four groups fed on standard diet, unsaturated fatty acids-deficient (HR-AD) diet, and HR-AD diet supplemented with 0.01% or 0.1% pineapple-GluCer. Skin barrier function was evaluated by transepidermal water loss (TEWL), dermal moisture content, moisture content of the stratum corneum and wrinkle formation. The control group (HR-AD administration group) showed increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), while the epidermal moisture content and the moisture content of the stratum corneum slowly decreased. However, in the PFEG groups (with 0.1% or 0.01% glucosylceramide), the TEWL levels were significantly reduced at 2 weeks. The PFEG also helped maintain skin moisturizing function by significantly suppressing the decrease of the epidermal moisture content and the moisture content of the stratum corneum. These results show that the PFEG is effective for maintaining and improving the function of the skin barrier. Therefore, this study suggests that PFEG is a potential candidate material for skin functional foods.

본 연구는 PFEG(글루코실세라마이드 4.0% 함유)가 저 미네랄 특수사료(HR-AD)를 섭취시킨 헤어리스 마우스에서 발생하는 피부장벽 붕괴에 대한 억제작용이 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 4주간의 투여를 통해 정상군(Rabo MR Stock)과 비교하여 대조군(HR-AD)에서는 경피 수분 손실량(TEWL)이 서서히 상승하여 피부장벽기능의 붕괴가 발생함과 동시에 표피 수분량 및 각층 수분량도 서서히 저하되는 것이 확인되었다. 육안적으로는 깊은 주름 형성이 확인되었으며 조직학적 소견에서는 표피의 비후와 각화 항진이 확인되었다. 그러나 PFEG를 섭취시킨 시험군에서는 대조군에서 유발되는 피부장벽기능 붕괴에 대한 억제 효과가 확인되었다. 즉, 글루코실세라마이드 0.01% 배합군 및 0.1% 배합군에서는 섭취 시작 2주일째 이후 야기되는 TEWL 상승을 완전히 억제하였다. 또한, 저하되는 표피 수분량, 각층 수분량에 대해서도 유의하게 억제하여 피부 보습 기능을 유지하고 있었다. 육안적으로도 깊은 주름 형성은 억제되었으며, 조직학적인 검토에서도 표피의 비후나 각화 항진은 확인되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 HR-1 마우스의 피부 세라마이드 생산 개선에 기인한 결과라고 예상된다. 즉, HR-AD 섭취에 의해 HR-1 마우스는 세라마이드를 포함한 피부 지질의 함량 및 구성에 이상이 생기고, 피부 수분량이 급격히 줄어들어 피부 보습 능력이 저하된다. 그런데 PFEG의 혼합 투여는 손상된 피부의 세라마이드 함량 및 구성을 정상과 가깝게 만들어, 대조군에서 나타나는 증상의 발현을 억제하는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과로부터 PFEG의 섭취는 피부장벽기능의 손상으로 발생하는 다양한 피부 수분 손실을 억제함으로써 피부 보습 개선에 우수한 효능이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 PFEG가 피부 보습에 도움을 주는 건강기능성 원료로서 이용 가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있다.
