RESUMO
Objective To investigate the possible mechanisms using different chemicals to improve the skin aging by the effect of estrogen,vitamin E,vitamin C on the transcriptional level of MMP-1 and HAS-2 mRNAs in cultured human skin fibroblast in vitro.Methods The different concentrations of estrogen,vitamin E,vitamin C were put into cultured human skin fibroblasts.After 24 hours,RT-PCR was used to detect the effects of the different chemicals on the transcriptional levels of the HAS-2 and MMP-1 mRNAs in fibroblasts.Results The effects of estrogen and vitamin C on the MMP-1 mRNA had significant difference between the high dose group and blank control group,and between the low dose group and blank control group (P＜0.05) ; the difference between the low dose group and high dose group was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The effects of vitamin E and vitamin C on Has-2 mRNA also had significant difference between the high dose group and the blank control group,and between the low dose group and blank control group (P＜0.05),but the difference between the low dose group and high dose group was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).Conclusions Estrogen and vitamin C can reduce the transcription of MMP-1 gene,which decreases the degradation of collagen in the skin; vitamin E and vitamin C can increase the transcription of HAS-2 gene,which may possibly increase the synthesis of hyaluronic acid to alleviate the skin aging.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the Ri plasmid transformation and metabolism of ginseng products on HepG2 cells.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The inhibitory effect of ginseng saponin on hepatoma HepG2 cells was studied. The hairy root-induced conditions were screened by orthogonal experimental design. The culture conditions were determined through hairy root biomass accumulation and saponin content. The effect of ginsenoside on HepG2 cells was determined by MTT assay.</p><p><b>RESULT AND CONCLUSION</b>The optimal ginseng hairy root inducing conditions: A = 0.6, infection time of 10 min, pre-incubation time for the 3 d. The best culture conditions: MS medium, pH 6.1, 24 degrees C. At those conditions the hairy root bio-accumulation and saponin content were higher. The results of ginseng saponins on the inhibitory effect of HepG2 cells showed that inhibition of ginseng saponins on HepG2 was the concentration positively related.</p>

Plant can be used as bioreactor for heterogenous protein expression. We reviewed different expression systems of plant bioreactor as well as recent relevant developments. In addition, we discussed perspectives in combination with our own experience.
