Resveratrol, a phytoalexin found at high levels in grapes and in grape products such as red wine, has been reported to possess a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities including anti-oxident, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and anti-carcinogenic effects, but its molecular mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of resveratrol on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced growth inhibitory activity and cell growth-regulatory gene products in astroglioma C6 cells to elucidate its possible mechanism for anti-cytotoxicity. It is shown that LPS induced time-dependent growth inhibition and morphological changes of C6 cells, which were recovered by pre-treatment with resveratrol. The anti-proliferative effect of LPS was associated with the induction of tumor suppressor p53 and cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor p21 (WAF1/CIP1) expression assessed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in time-dependent manner in C6 cells. In addition, the pro-apoptotic Bax expression was also up-regulated in LPS-treated C6 cells without alteration of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL expression. However, resveratrol significantly inhibited LPS-induced p53, p21 and Bax levels, suggesting that the modulation of p53, p21 and Bax levels could be one of the possible pathways by which resveratrol functions as anti-cytotoxic agent.

본 연구는 황기 에탄올 추출물과 황기 생물전환 추출물의 기능성 화장품 소재로서 가능성 여부를 규명하고자 하였다. 항산화 효과를 확인하기 위해 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하였고, 세포실험을 통해 피부 세포에 대한 독성과 피부 세포 노화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 항산화 실험 결과, 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 효과에서는 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드의 함량이 농도 의존적으로 증가하였고, 생물전환 추출물에 비해 에탄올 추출물에서 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 황기 추출물과 생물전환된 황기추출물이 HDF 세포에서 농도 의존적으로 MMP1 발현 억제 효과가 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 황기 추출물과 황기 생물전환 추출물의 기능성 화장품 소재로 사용 시 항산화와 피부 노화 예방 관점에서의 기능성 화장품 소재로 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
