The mechanism research of Rhubarb phenol and P38 inhibitor suppression on light aging of human skin HaCaT induced by UVB / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the rhubarb phenol and P38 inhibitor suppression on light aging of human skin HaCaT induced by UVB. Methods The potential of cell proliferation of the different concentrations of rhubarb phenol and P38 inhibitor (SB203580) on human skin HaCaT was detected by MTT method. The cells was divided into the control group, the model group, the rhubarb phenol group, the SB203580 group by random number table method after the 24 h incubation. The 10-6 mol/L rhubarb phenol and 10-7 mol/L SB203580 were added to the rhubarb phenol group and SB203580 group for 24h, The competence of cultured cell proliferation which was irradiated with UVB of intensity of 0.61mW/cm2, mutiply time of 7 min and distance of 10 cm for 24 h except the control group; Western Blot method detected rhubarb phenol and P38 inhibitor of the influence of P38, P-P38, TNF-α, IL-6 protein. Results Compared with control group, the cell proliferation in UVB group significantly reduced (P<0.01); Compared with UVB group, the expression of the P-P38 (0.419 ± 0.029, 0.398 ± 0.015 vs. 0.497 ± 0.051), TNF-α (0.435 ± 0.025, 0.411 ± 0.021 vs. 0.509 ± 0.040) and IL-6 (0.457 ± 0.027, 0.432 ± 0.018 vs. 0.478 ± 0.036) in rhubarb phenol and P38 inhibitor group significantly reduced (P<0.01). Conclusions The rhubarb phenol and P38 inhibitor could significantly suppress HaCaT cells light aging, and its mechanism may be related with inhibiting P38 signaling pathways, and inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory cytokines.
