생체에서 가장 많은 비율로 분포하고 있는 콜라겐 펩타이드는 동물의 뼈와 해양 생물의 비늘에 많이 함유되어 있다. 콜라겐은 동물 생체의 여러 결합조직에서 구조 단백질로 흔하게 발견된다. 또한, 이들은 생물 의료 자재, 제약, 화장품, 식품 및 가죽 산업에 널리 이용된다. 각종 어류 비늘에서 추출된 펩타이드는 UVB 조사에 의해 유도된 피부의 손상 및 광 노화에 대한 보호 효과가 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, UVB 조사에 대한 옥돔 비늘 유래의 펩타이드 특성은 명확히 알려져 있지 않다. 이 연구에서는 옥돔 비늘 추출물에서 분리된 1 kDa 이상(HMP)과 1 kDa 이하(LMP)의 펩타이드를 이용하여 UVB 조사에 의해 유도된 피부 손상과 광 노화에 대한 효과를 연구하였다. 이들 펩타이드는 농도 의존적으로 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 보였으며 LMP는 HaCaT 인간 피부세포에서 UVB 조사에 의해 유도된 세포 지질 과산화 산물인 8-isoprostane 생성을 억제하였다. 그리고 LMP와 HMP는 B16F10 마우스 흑색종 세포에서 tyrosinase 활성 및 melanin 함량을 감소시켰으며 또한 HaCaT 세포에서 UVB로 유도된 elastase 활성을 감소시켰고 matrix metalloproteinase-1의 활성을 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과는 옥돔 비늘에서 유래된 펩타이드가 미백효과, 항산화제 및 광 노화 억제제로서 유용한 물질이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Fucodiphlorethol G (6'-[2,4-dihydroxy-6-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenoxy)phenoxy]biphenyl-2,2',4,4',6-pentol) is a compound purified from Ecklonia cava, a brown alga that is widely distributed offshore of Jeju Island. This study investigated the protective effects of fucodiphlorethol G against oxidative damage-mediated apoptosis induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. Fucodiphlorethol G attenuated the generation of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals and intracellular reactive oxygen species in response to UVB irradiation. Fucodiphlorethol G suppressed the inhibition of human keratinocyte growth by UVB irradiation. Additionally, the wavelength of light absorbed by fucodiphlorethol G was close to the UVB spectrum. Fucodiphlorethol G reduced UVB radiation-induced 8-isoprostane generation and DNA fragmentation in human keratinocytes. Moreover, fucodiphlorethol G reduced UVB radiation-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, generation of apoptotic cells, and active caspase-9 expression. Taken together, fucodiphlorethol G protected human keratinocytes against UVB radiation-induced cell damage and apoptosis by absorbing UVB radiation and scavenging reactive oxygen species.

자외선인 ultraviolet B (UVB)는 피부각질세포의 DNA 잔기에 손상을 준다. 특히, DNA의 pyrimidine 잔기 손상인 cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD)의 형성은 피부 광노화의 대표적인 지표로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 피부 각질세포에서 UVB에 의한 DNA 손상을 완화 시키는 소재로 감초추출물(Glycyrrhiza glabra extract, G. glabra extract)의 효능을 확인하였다. 먼저 피부각질세포에서 UVB 의존적으로 CPD형성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이후 감초추출물에 의해 UVB 유발 CPD 형성이 유의하게 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 추가로 DNA 손상회복 인자의 mRNA 발현이 감초추출물에 의해 증가하는 것도 확인하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해 감초추출물의 피부각질세포에서의 DNA 보호 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Ulva lactuca methanol extracts against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced DNA damage in HaCaT cells. First, the contents of general and antioxidative nutrient contents of Ulva lactuca were measured. The moisture, carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat and ash were 14.01%, 44.80%, 23.19%, 3.10% and 14.90%, respectively. Magnesium that acts as DNA repair enzyme cofactor was the most abundant mineral followed by Ca, P and Fe. The total phenolic and anthocyanoside contents of Ulva lactuca were 2.69 mg/g and 0.13 mg/g, respectively. Cells treated with Ulva lactuca methanol extracts for 24 hours post UVB exposure increased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner compared to the non-treated control. Also, Ulva lactuca methanol extracts decreased the levels of UVB-induced DNA damage such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer and DNA damage response (DDR) proteins such as p-p53 and p21. These results suggest that Ulva lactuca methanol extracts comprising physiological active substances such as Mg, polyphenols and anthocyanosides promote DNA repair by regulating genes related with DDR.

Objectives: Betula Platyphylla(BP) has been used as a analgesic, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant drug in Eastern Asia. However, it is still unknown whether BP ethanol extract could exhibit the inhibitory activities against ultraviolet B(UVB)-induced skin injury on human keratinocytes, HaCaT cells. This study was aimed to investigate the protective activity of BP ethanol extract on UVB-irradiated skin injury in HaCaT cells. Methods: The skin injury model of HaCaT cells was established under UVB stimulation. HaCaT keratinocyte cells were pre-treated with BP ethanol extract for 1 h, and then stimulated with UVB. Then, the cells were harvested to measure the cell viability, production of reactive oxygen species(ROS), pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin(IL) 1-beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-𝛼, hyaluronidase, type 1 collagen, matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)s. In addition, we examined the mitogen activated protein kinases(MAPKs) and inhibitory kappa B alpha(I𝜅;-B𝛼) as inhibitory mechanisms of BP ethanol extract. Results: The treatment of BP ethanol extract inhibited the UVBinduced cell death and ROS production in HaCaT cells. BP ethanol extract treatment inhibited the UVB-induced increase of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-𝛼. BP ethanol extract treatment inhibited the increase of hyaluronidase, MMP and decrease of collagen. BP ethanol extract treatment inhibited the activation of MAPKs and the degradation of I𝜅-B𝛼. Conclusions: Our result suggest that treatment of BP ethanol extract could inhibit the UVB-induced skin injury via deactivation of MAPKs and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-𝜅B) in HaCaT cells. This study could suggest that BP ethanol extract could be a beneficial agent to prevent skin damage or inflammation.

This study was designed to investigate the cytoprotective effect of rosmarinic acid (RA) on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative stress in HaCaT keratinocytes. RA exerted a significant cytoprotective effect by scavenging intracellular ROS induced by UVB. RA also attenuated UVB-induced oxidative macromolecular damage, including protein carbonyl content, DNA strand breaks, and the level of 8-isoprostane. Furthermore, RA increased the expression and activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, heme oxygenase-1, and their transcription factor Nrf2, which are decreased by UVB radiation. Collectively, these data indicate that RA can provide substantial cytoprotection against the adverse effects of UVB radiation by modulating cellular antioxidant systems, and has potential to be developed as a medical agent for ROS-induced skin diseases.

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces cellular damage. A variety of cellular responses for repairing cellular damage including DNA damage occur after UV irradiation. During the repair processes, expression and activation of various molecules are regulated depending on the types of cellular damage. Parkin is an E3 ligase and act as a tumor suppressor. Recently, it has been reported that Parkin is involved in the DNA repair process. In the current study, we investigated whether UVB irradiation influences expression of Parkin. Parkin expression transiently decreased after UVB irradiation both at the mRNA and protein levels, but returned to normal levels thereafter. Taken together with cell viability data, Parkin expression is down-regulated during UVB-induced suppression of cell growth and is increased again in accordance with recovery of UVB-induced cell growth inhibition. However, Parkin overexpression or knockdown did not influence UVB-induced cell growth inhibition and recovery. We propose that Parkin could be a useful molecular marker for evaluating conditions of cells after UVB irradiation.

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.

피부는 인체를 구성하는 가장 큰 장기로 생체 내부를 보호한다. 자외선은 피부에 광노화와 산화적 손상을 비롯한 다양한 염증반응을 일으킨다. 본 연구의 목적은 섬유아세포에서 UVB를 조사하여 Saponaria 추출물의 보호 효과를 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 UVB에 의한 세포독성과 산화적 세포사멸, NO 및 PGE₂ 생성에 대한 보호활성을 나타내는 Saponaria의 유효성을 평가하였다. HS68 세포를 UVB(120mJ/cm²)에 조사하고 100, 200, 400 ㎍/mL의 다양한 농도로 Saponaria 추출물로 24시간 동안 처리하였으며, 자외선 B에 의해 생성된 세포 내 활성 산소 종(ROS)은 DCF-DA 염색 후 분광 형광계를 사용하여 검출하였다. 또한 지질 과산화는 배양 배지로 분비되는 8-이소프로스탄의 수준을 측정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 Saponaria 추출물이 UVB에 의한 세포독성을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 산화적 세포 손상은 UVB로 유도된 HS68 섬유아세포에서 PGE₂를 매개하였고, 이는 사포나리아 추출물 처리에 의하여 유의하게 억제되었다. 또한, 이들 추출물의 보호 효과는 농도 의존적으로 세포내 ROS 생성 및 지질 과산화 억제에 의해 매개되는 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 결과는 Saponaria 추출물이 자외선 B에 의한 산화적 스트레스로 매개한 피부 손상을 억제하여 세포 보호효과를 나타내므로 항노화 기능성 소재로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

UVR-induced immunosuppression contributes to skin cancer. The aim was to construct accurate dose response curves for primary and secondary contact sensitivity for solar-simulated UVR (ssUVR; 290-400nm), UVA and UVB as the role of UVA in immunosuppression is controversial. We used a xenon arc source. The mice were immobilised, enabling accurate dosing. C57BL/6 mice were immunosuppressed at half the dose of ssUVR required to cause sunburn but not by higher doses (up to the sunburn dose). Thus, ssUVR causes systemic immunosuppression only over a narrow, low dose range. UVA caused suppression at low but not high doses whereas UVB induced immunosuppression at all doses tested. 8 weeks later the mice were resensitised to assess tolerance. Mice exposed to the minimum immunosuppressive dose of ssUVR prior to primary sensitisation were tolerant to re-sensitisation. However, at higher doses of ssUVR, these mice were protected from tolerance. Interestingly, while low doses of UV A caused immunosuppression, even lower doses enhanced the response to the second sensitisation. Higher doses of UVA had no affect. UVB induced tolerance in a dose related manner. Thus, ssUVR only induces immunosuppression and tolerance over a narrow dose range. Both UVA and UVB are immunosuppressive at this dose, while higher doses of UVA protect from the suppressive effects of UVB. Surprisingly very low doses of UVA enhanced memory development. Thus UVR has complex effects on the immune system depending on dose and spectrum.
