RESUMO
Objective@#To study the protective effect of adipose-derived stem cell conditioned medium against ultraviolet radiation B (UVB)-induced photoaging and replicative senescence in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs).@*Methods@#HDFs were cultured and passaged in vitro, and treated with ADSC-CM after being irradiated once with UVB. The mRNA expression of CollagenⅠ(Col1), CollagenⅢ(Col3) and Elastin were detected by real-time PCR to define the anti-aging effects of ADSC-CM. The protein expressions of phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) and p-p38 were detected by Western blot.@*Results@#①Both successive passage and UVB irradiation reduced the expression of Col1, Col3 and Elastin in HDFs.②ADSC-CM inhibited the reduction of Col1, Col3 and Elastin protein expressions induced by successive passage and UVB. ③ADSC-CM activated p38 and JNK pathway. Downregulation of p38 MAPK by SB203580 decreased the mRNA expression of Col1, Col3, and Elastin. Inhibiting JNK by SP600125 did not induce significant ECM changes.@*Conclusions@#Both intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli can decrease the expression of collagen and elastin, common markers of skin aging in HDFs, and ADSC-CM can attenuate the above decreasing and promoting the expression of ECM by p38 signaling pathway.
