In this study, we prepared CheonJeongKiBo-Dan(7 oriental medicinal plants, 7OMP: Astragalus Membranaceus root, Panax Ginseng root, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) root, Schizandra Chinensis fruit, Polygonatum Odoratum, Rehmannia Glutinosa root, Paeonia Albiflora root) by extracting them in one reactor and studied its efficacies on skin. UV irradiation has been suggested as a major cause of photoaging in skin. In order to investigate protective effects against UV-B induced cellular damage, 7OMP was extracted with 70% ethanol and dissolved in DMSO. The protective effect was detected by MTT assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, phosphorylation of ATR and p53 in human dermal fibroblast cell system after UV-B irradiation. 7OMP reduced UV-B-induced cellular damage in HDFs cells, and inhibited ROS generation. UV-B-induced toxicity accompanying ROS production and the resultant DNA damage are responsible for activation of ATR, p53 and Bad. In this study, 7OMP hampered phosphorylations of ATR and p53 in human dermal fibroblasts. Therefore, 7OMP may be protective against UV-induced skin photoaging.

본 연구는 장내세균 Bifidobacterium bifidum 배양액과 추출액을 사용하여 자외선B를 조사한 인간 진피섬유아세포에서 세포생존율과 세포 노화 및 세포주기의 변화를 살펴봄으로써 자외선B에 의한 세포 보호 효능을 평가하였다. 우선 자외선B를 조사한 결과 광량에 비례하여 HDFs의 생존율이 감소하였으며 $100mJ/cm^2$ 조사 시 67.3%로 떨어졌으나 B. bifidum 배양액과 추출액 처리 후 세포생존율을 증가시켜 자외선B에 대한 보호 효능이 있었다. 그리고 $SA-{\beta}-gal$ activity 변화를 측정한 결과에서 세포 노화율을 감소시켰음을 확인하였다. 또한, propidium iodide staining을 통하여 세포주기상 Sub-G1기 세포 수가 감소하였으므로 apoptosis를 억제하였고 이는 세포주기를 정상화하는 데 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. B. bifidum 배양액과 추출액 처리한 결과 세포 내 활성산소종이 감소함에 따라 p53과 p21의 발현을 감소시켰으며, 따라서 이에 본 연구에서 B. bifidum 배양액과 추출액은 UV-B로 인한 손상을 보호하는 효과가 있음을 규명하였다.

A new concept of "photo" -antisense method has been evaluated, where the inhibition of gene expression by the conventional antisense method is enhanced by photochemical binding between antisense oligonucleotides conjugated with photo-reactive compound and target mRNA or DNA. Fluorescein labeled oligodeoxyribonucleotides (F-DNA) was delivered to cell nuclei in the encapsulated form in multilamellar lecithin liposomes with neutral charge. F-DNA was previously shown to photo-bind to the complementary stranded DNA, and the delivery system using neutral liposome to be effective in normal human keratinocytes. In the present study, we used human kidney cancer G401.2/6TG.1 cell line to be advantageous in reproducible experiments. p53 was adopted as a target gene since antisense sequence information has been accumulated. The nuclear localization ofF-DNA was identified by comparing the fluorescence ofF-DNA with that of Hoechst 33258 under fluorescence microscope. After 7hr incubation to accumulate p53 protein induced by UV -B, p53 protein was quantified by Western blot. After 2hrs from F-DNA application, about 30% of cell population incorporated F-DNA in their nuclei with some morphological change possibly due to liposomal toxicity. Irradiation of visible light longer than 400nm from solar simulator at this time enhanced the inhibitory action of antisense F-DNA. The present results suggest that photo-antisense method is promising to control gene expression in time and space dependent manner. Further improvement of F-DNA delivery to cancer cells in the stability and toxicity is in progress. progress.

The present study assessed the effects of an aqueous extract of Acanthopanax koreanum root (AE) and of AE following fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium bifidum) (AEF) on human skin fibroblast HS68 cells exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation and oxidative stress. AEF effectively antagonized the senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining and upregulation of p53 and p21^Cip1/WAF1 induced by UVB or H₂O₂ treatment in HS68 cells. It also exhibited excellent antioxidant activities in radical scavenging assays and reduced the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species induced by UVB or H₂O₂ treatment. The antioxidant and antisenescent activities of AEF were greater than those of nonfermented A. koreanum extract. AEF significantly repressed the UVB- or H₂O₂-induced activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and -3, overexpression of MMP-1, and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation. This repression of NF-κB activation and MMP-1 overexpression was attenuated by a mitogen-activated protein kinase activator, suggesting that this AEF activity was dependent on this signaling pathway. Taken together, these data indicated that AEF-mediated antioxidant and anti-photoaging activities may produce anti-wrinkle effects on human skin.

Quercetin is a major dietary flavonoid found in onions, apples, tea, and red wine, and potentially has beneficial effects on disease prevention. We carried out this study to investigate the effect of quercetin on UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells and to further understand the mechanisms of its action. The anti-inflammatory activity of quercetin was investigated and quercetin significantly suppressed the NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. Post treatment of quercetin decreased UV irradiation-induced phosphorylation of JNK, p38 MAPK, and ERK by 91%, 21%, and 17%, respectively. MMP-1 is mainly responsible for the degradation of dermal collagen during the aging process of human skin and quercetin suppressed the UVB-induced MMP-1 by 94%. Binding studies revealed that quercetin binds to p38 with high binding affinity ($1.85{\times}10^6M^{-1}$). The binding model showed that the 4'-hydroxy groups of the B-ring of quercetin participated in hydrogen bonding interactions with the side chains of Lys53, Glu71, and Asp168 and the 5-hydroxy group of the A-ring formed a hydrogen bond with the backbone amide of Met109. The major finding of this study shows that quercetin inhibits phosphorylation of JNK, p38 MAPK, and ERK pathway leading to the prevention of MMP-1 expression in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Therefore, our findings suggested the potentials of quercetin as a skin anti-photoaging agent.

본 연구는 염색 공정의 표준화와 재현성을 확립하기 위해 홍화 황색소의 모섬유에 대한 염색성을 조사하는데 목적이 있다. 홍화 황색소는 물로 추출한 후 농축, 동결건조하여 분말상태로 만들어 사용하였다. 염색 온도 및 시간, 염료 농도, 염액의 pH 등에 따른 염착성과 색상 변화에 대해 조사하였으며, 세탁 및 일광견뢰도를 평가하였다. 염착량은 $50^{\circ}C$까지 서서히 증가하다가 이후 급격히 증가하여 $90^{\circ}C$에서 최고 값을 나타냈다. 염착은 초기 10분 이내에 빠르게 일어났으며 이후 서서히 증가하다가 40~60분 사이에 평형에 도달하였다. 염료 농도가 증가함에 따라 염착량이 계속 증가하여 점점 진하고 어두운 노랑색이 되었다. 산성 조건에서 염착이 잘 되었으며 pH 3.0에서 최대염착량을 보였다. 얻은 결과를 근거로 최적 염색 조건은 $90^{\circ}C$, 40분, pH 3.5으로 설정하였으며, 최적 조건에서 염색한 시료들 간의 색차는 0.53~1.75로서 재현성이 우수하였다. 후매염은 염착성 증진에 효과가 없었으나, 다양한 톤과 농담의 노랑색을 얻을 수 있었다. 세탁(드라이크리닝)견뢰도는 4/5등급으로 좋은 편이었으나 20시간 조사 후 일광견뢰도는 Fe과 Cu매염한 경우 3/4등급으로 색차가 가장 적었다. 결과를 종합해 볼 때 매염제가 색상톤을 다양하게 하는 효과는 있었지만, 염착량과 견뢰도 향상에 기여하지 못하였다. 홍화 황색소는 모염색에서 매염제 없이 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있고, 따라서 환경에 피해를 주지 않을 것으로 사료된다.

UV-irradiated skin shows acutely erythema, edema, pigmantation (sunbum) and chronically coarse wrinkling, roughness, dryness, laxity (photoaging). Jawoongo(紫雲膏, JW) is clinically useful external application and effective bum, sunburn, wound and symptom of dryness(燥症) in skin disease. In this experiment, we examined if JW could cure the UVB-mediated acute skin damages, inhibit UVB-mediated oxidative stress and inflammation of skin, and block the photoaging. In vivo test, we found that JW could effectively cure the UVB-mediated acute skin damages(erythema, edema, angiogenesis, hyperplasia, infiltration of lymphocytes) and inhibit expression of HSP70, CYP1A1 and p53. We also found that JW could repair destruction of collagen fiber and inhibit activation of MMP-9, and inhibit expression of $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65, iNOS, hyperplasia of keratynocyte. In vitro test, we found that JW could inhibit expression of IKK, iNOS mRNA, and production of NO. These findings shows that JW could cure the UVB-mediated acute skin damages, inhibit UVB-mediated oxidative stress and inflammation of skin, and block photoaging.

자외선에 의한 조류기원 용존유기물의 특성변화를 조사하기 위하여 배양한 남조류 두종 (Microcystis aeruginosa, Oscillatoria agardhii)의 체외배출용존유기물에 자외선 처리전과 처리후의 생분해도와 유기물의 화학적조성을 비교하였다. 자외선처리는 pyrex용기에 시료를 넣고 인공자외선램프(UVA: 40 W/$m^2$, UVB: 2 W/$m^2$)로 24시간 조사하였다. 유기물의 화학적조성은 XAD-8, 양이온, 음이온수지를 이용하여 소수성 산 (hydrophobic acids; HoA), 소수성 중성 (hydrophobic neutrals;HoN), 친수성 산 (hydrophilic acids; HiA), 친수성 염기 (hydrophilic bases; HiB), 그리고 친수성 중성 (hydrophilic neutrals; HiN)의 5개 분획으로 분류하였다. 자외선처리동안 유기물의 농도변화는 거의 없었던 반면 생분해도는 자외선처리 전에 비해 현저히 감소하였다(M. aeruginosa: 17%, O. agardhii: 28% 감소). 또한 자외선 처리 전과 후의 유기물의 화학적조성도 상당한 차이를 보였다. 자외선처리 후 HiB분획(단백질, 아미노산류)은 감소한 반면 HiA분획 (카복실산류)은 증가하였다. 유기산분석에서도 3종류의 카복실산이 자외선처리 후 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 수체의 유기물은 자외선에 의해 난분해성 유기물이 분해되거나 잘게 쪼개져 이분해성 유기물로 전환되는 것으로 알려졌다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 조류기원의 이분해성 유기물의 경우는 자외선에 의해 완전한 광분해는 보이지 않았지만 난분해성 유기물로 전환되었고 화학적조성도 바뀌었다. 이는 유기물의 기원과 종류에 따라 자외선에 대한 영향이 다르다는 것을 시사한다.0.73, P< 0.001). 본 연구기간동안 동물플랑크톤 섭식에 의한 청수기는 관찰되지 않았으며, 동 ${\cdot}$ 식물플랑크톤의 다양성은 식물플랑크톤의 생물량 증가 시 회복되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과에서는 부영양 호수에서 동물플랑크톤의 섭식이나 제한영양염의 결핍이 식물플랑크톤의 현존량에 영향을 출 수 있으나 군집의 변화를 야기하지는 못함이 제시되었다.X>$NH_4\;^+$, $NO_3\;^-$, $PO_4\;^{3-}$ 및 $SiO_2$의 용출량 범위는 각각 -9${\sim}$ 105 mgN $m^{-2}day^{-1}$, -156${\sim}$62 $m^{-2}day^{-1}$ -5${\sim}$5 $m^{-2}day^{-1}$, 및 12 ${\sim}$ 117 $m^{-2}day^{-1}$였다. 낙동강과 서낙동강에서 식물플랑크톤의 1차 생산성과 조체의 C:N:P의 Redfield 비율 106: 16: 1을 이용하여 추정한결과 저질에서 용출되는 $NH_4\;^+$는 식물플랑크톤의 요구량의 9 ${\sim}$23%이었고, $PO_4\;^{3-}$는 11 ${\sim}$ 22%를 차지하였다.도로 검출되어 이를 고려한정수공정의 관리가 필요하리라 생각된다.$yr^{-1}$)의 71%가 감소되어야 할 필요성이 제기되었다. 또한 여름철 심층 산소 고갈이 야기되었고, 이 시기에 퇴적물로 용출된 인이 식물플랑크톤 성장에 이용될 수 있기때문에 퇴적물에 대한 관리도 수행될 필요가 있다

Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation may activate or deteriorate cultured human epidermal melanocytes, depending on the doses and culture conditions. In this study, we examined whether apoptosis of melanocytes can be induced by physiologic doses of UVB irradiation. PI staining for DNA condensation and flow cytometric analyses demonstrated the apoptotic cell death of melanocytes after UVB irradiation. The level of p53 and Bax revealed a dose-dependent increase with increasing dose of UVB, but the level of Bcl-2 remained unchanged. Confocal microscopic examination showed that Bax moved trom a diffuse to a punctate distribution after UVB irradiation. However, there were no changes in the pattern of Bcl-2. We next examined the downstream targets of apoptosis. Our results showed that a precursor form of caspase-3 disappeared with increasing doses of UVB. We also observed cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) after UVB irradiation. In addition, UVB irradiation resulted in a remarkable activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). These results indicate that UVB may induce apoptosis via JNK activation in human melanocytes.
