Article Synopsis
  • * In a study, two polysaccharides (A1 and A2) were isolated and their effects on cell proliferation and inflammation were assessed in a UVB-damaged skin model.
  • * A1 and A2 enhanced cell growth, improved mitochondrial function, reduced inflammatory markers, and increased key skin proteins, indicating ABP's potential to repair UVB-induced skin damage via the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

This study takes the fruit of Tratt (RRT) as a fermentation substrate and carries out a quantitative visual analysis of the domestic and foreign literature on screenings of five different lactic acid bacteria to obtain a fermentation broth. Systemic anti-photoaging effects are analyzed at the biochemical, cellular, and molecular biological levels. DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities are used to verify the antioxidant capacity of the RRT fruit fermentation broth in vitro.

Aging is closely related to many diseases and is a long-term challenge that humans face. The oxidative damage caused by the imbalance of free radicals is an important factor in aging. In this study, we investigate the antioxidant and antiaging activities of fermented coix seed polysaccharides (FCSPs) via in vitro and in vivo experiments.

UV and external environmental stimuli can cause oxidative damage to skin cells. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in cell damage have not been systematically and clearly elucidated. In our study, an RNA-seq technique was used to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the UVA/HO-induced model.

Oxidative stress is an important factor on both aging and disease. Among foods endowed with beneficial healthy properties, rice is a very useful material, not only because it has a good amino acid ratio and produces antioxidant peptides through microbial fermentation, but also for its inexpensive availability. In this study, rice was treated with , and the resulting mixture of small peptides with less than 11 amino acids (RFP) was extracted and purified from the fermentation broth.

Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can cause skin damage and premature aging. This study demonstrates that Lactobacillus reuteri SJ-47 strain exopolysaccharides (EPS) protect human skin fibroblasts (HSF) under UVA radiation. During the course of the experiments, we investigate the oxidative stress protection and antiaging effects of exopolysaccharides on HSF at the biochemical, cellular, and molecular levels.

Fibroblasts account for more than 95% of dermal cells maintaining dermal structure and function. However, UVA penetrates the dermis and causes oxidative stress that damages the dermis and accelerates skin aging. Puerarin, the main active ingredient of , has been demonstrated to withstand oxidative stress caused by a variety of factors.

Yunnan Baiyao is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that can be formulated into a powder or capsule form. The mechanism by which it exerts its anti-inflammation effect, which is used in skin care products, needs to be further explored. In this study, we established the -induced mouse skin inflammatory model to investigate the effects of Yunnan Baiyao by the method of RNA-sequencing technology.

UVA can cause oxidative stress and photoaging of cells. We established a UVA-induced oxidative stress model of human fibroblasts and focused on the antioxidant and anti-photoaging ability of fermented . Compared with the unfermented , fermented has better DPPH free radical and hydroxyl free radical scavenging ability, significantly reduces the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improves the antioxidant level.

Opuntia milpa alta polysaccharides (ODP) are bioactive compounds extracted from Opuntia milpa alta and widely used in the treatment of diseases, but the therapeutic mechanism of ODP on inflammatory injury remains unclear. Therefore, this study explores the effects and mechanisms of ODP in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation of human keratinocytes (HaCaT). In this experiment, ODP was extracted via the water extraction and fermentation methods, respectively.

In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatograph-liquid chromatography (GPC-LC), and scanning electron microscopy () were used to analyze the molecular characteristics of fermented polysaccharides (FDOP) by . The characteristic structural peak of FDOP was more prominent, showing a smaller molecular structure, and its porous structure showed better water solubility. The protective effect of FDOP on the damage of human skin fibroblasts (HSF) caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation was investigated by evaluating its antioxidative and antiaging indices.

Purpose: Damage caused by oxidative stress leads to the premature aging of cells. Mogrosides, the main active components of , have strong antioxidant activity; however, it is unclear whether mogroside V (MV) exerts these effects in skin cells. This was investigated in the present study by evaluating the protective effects of MV against oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (HO) in skin fibroblasts.

The hydroalcoholic extract of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) seed residues (HYD-SBSR) is a potential skin whitening agent. To test this material as a potential skin whitening agent, we identified and quantified the main chemical constituents of HYD-SBSR by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadruple mass spectrometry (UPLC-QQQ-MS).
