Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is enhanced in fibroblasts of aging skin; tripterine and ginsenoside Rd possess immunosuppression and anti-aging effects. Arotinoid ethyl ester can used to treat sun-induced aging skin, which accompanied by many side effects, OBJECTIVE: To discuss the regulation role of ginsenoside Rd, celastrol, arotinoid ethyl ester on MMP-1 and MMP-3 of the cultured fibroblasts of the human dermis in vitro. METHODS: The human dermis circumcision by surgical excision on newborn was obtained from Department of Surgery, Luzhou Medical College, and the informed consent obtained from patients. Culture of fibroblasts were as follow: ①No treatment in the normal control group. ②Radiated with 80 kJ/m~2 ultraviolet and treated by 100mg/L8-methoxypsoralen in the positive control group. ③Treated by ultraviolet radiation+8-methoxypsoralen+arotinoid ethyl ester in the arotinoid ethyl ester group. ④Treated by ultraviolet radiation +8-methoxypsoralen+triptolide in the triptolide group. ⑤Treated byultraviolet radiation+8-methoxypsoralen+ginsenoside Rd in the ginsenoside Rdgroup. The triptolide group was divided into 3 groups with doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/L. The ginsenoside Rd group was divided into 3 groups with doses of 20, 50 and 100 mg/L. The immunohistochemistry staining of MMP-1 and MMP-3 of the fibroblasts in each group was observed. RESULTS and CONCLUSION: The expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3 were significantly increased in the positive control group, which had a significant difference to the normal control group (P < 0.05). Compared to the positive control group, the expression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 significantly decreased in the treatment groups (P < 0.05); however, the differences among each treatment groups had no significance (P > 0.05). The results demonstrated that:①Ginsenoside Rd and tripterine exhibit comparably effect on prevent and cure sun-induced aging skin.②The wide ranges of effective concentration lead to little side effect to the body. ③The action mechanisms of ginsenoside Rd, celastrol and arotinoid ethyl ester in preventing and curing sun-induced aging skin is adjusting the expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3.
