Background Aims: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) are known to be able to restore injured tissue via differentiation and paracrine effects. In this study, we investigated the effect of ASC on photo-aged human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) based on paracrine function. In particular, we wanted to determine a more effective method of ASC application and the fate of the photo-aged fibroblasts.

Methods: We compared two application methods of ASC: transwell and conditioned medium culture with photo-aged fibroblasts. Proliferation rate, collagen synthesis, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production and expression of p16 were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after culture. Flow cytometry for apoptosis assay was also conducted to determine the fate of the photo-aged fibroblasts.

Results: ASC induced proliferation of photo-aged HDF and type I collagen production and decreased MMP-1 production and expression of p16. In an apoptosis assay, ASC converted necrotic or late apoptotic cells to early apoptotic cells. These results were similar in both experimental groups.

Conclusions: The results indicate that the paracrine effects of ASC may have a role that is as important as cell-to-cell communication between ASC and fibroblasts. We believe that conditioned medium may be a useful material for anti-aging skin therapy instead of cell therapy. Also, ASC might have an anti-aging effect on photo-aged fibroblasts even at a genetic level.

Purpose: Photobiomodulation (PBM), encompassing low-energy laser treatment and light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy, has demonstrated positive impacts on skin rejuvenation and wound healing. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) present a promising advancement as wearable light sources for PBM. However, the biological and biochemical substantiation of their skin rejuvenation and wound healing effects remains limited.

Objective: Light therapy has attracted medical interests as a safe, alternative treatment for photo-ageing and photo-damaged skin. Recent research suggested the therapeutic activity of red and infrared (IR) lights may be effective at much lower energy levels than those used clinically. This study was to evaluate the efficacy of low-level red plus near IR light emitting diode (LED) combination on collagen and elastin and ATP production.

The skin keeps the human body healthy from extrinsic stimuli such as ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. However, chronic exposure of these stimuli reduces the number of proteins that constitute the extracellular matrix (ECM) and causes wrinkle formation. The amount of collagen, the main protein that constitutes connective tissue, is reduced in the human skin due to UV radiation.

Increased matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) expression is a feature of photo-aged skin. We investigated the effects of baicalein and sulphoraphane on ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation-induced MMP-1 expression and apoptosis using human dermal fibroblasts. UVB irradiation not only increased MMP-1 expression, but also caused apoptosis.

Aging is a biologic process characterized by time-dependent functional declines that are influenced by oxidative stress-induced inflammatory reactions. In particular, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation plays a key role in cellular senescence in photo-aged skin. However, the cellular senescence of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts by UV irradiation may differ depending on the exposure time and dosage of UV irradiation.
