UV irradiation induced formation of reactive oxygen radical species and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are thought to be involved in photo-damage to the skin. MMP-1 is the major collagenolytic enzyme responsible for collagen destruction in skin tissue. To develop new anti-photoaging agents, a series of 2,2'-dithiocinnamate derivatives and 2,2'-dithio or 2-thiobenzoate derivatives were designed and synthesized. The biological activities of the synthesized compounds were assayed for ABTS [2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethyl-benzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] radical scavenging activity, MMP-1 inhibitory activity, and cytotoxicity to human dermal fibroblast cells. Compounds with potential of resistance to UV irradiation were identified. These compounds are expected to be useful for preventing photo-damage to the skin.

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation induces the accumulation of free radicals in the skin, resulting in oxidative damage and accelerated aging. As a natural anti-oxidant, squalene has been applied as a cosmetic additive. Nonetheless, the liquid oil state of squalene and its low solubility in water usually limits the practical application of squalene.

Background/objectives: UV radiation is a major factor contributing to DNA damage in skin cells, including stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells, leading to the depletion of these crucial cells. This study examined whether a mixture of Indian gooseberry and barley sprout (IB) could inhibit UVB irradiation and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced photoaging and oxidative stress in the skin using HaCaT, Hs27, and B16F10 cells.
Materials/methods: The moisturizing-related factors, the collagen synthesis-related c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Fos/c-Jun/matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) pathway, and the melanogenesis-related cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP-responsive binding protein (CREB)/melanocyte inducing transcription factor (MITF)/tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)/tyrosinase activation pathways were analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis.

Objective: UV irradiation of the skin induces photo damage and generates cytotoxic intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), activating the unfolded protein response (UPR) to adapt or reduce these UVB-mediated damages. This study was designed to understand the role of the UPR mediator IRE1α in the antioxidant response following UVB irradiation of mouse skin and keratinocytes.
Methods: We used mice with an epidermal deletion of IRE1α and primary mouse keratinocytes to examine effects of UV on different parameters of the antioxidant response in the presence and absence of functional IRE1α.

Metabolites resulting from the bacterial fermentation of dietary fibers, such as short-chain fatty acids, especially butyrate, play important roles in maintaining gut health and regulating various biological effects in the skin. However, butyrate is underutilized due to its unpleasant odor. To circumvent this organoleptic unfavorable property, phenylalanine butyramide (PBA), a butyrate precursor, has been synthesized and is currently available on the market.
