Hairless mouse에 자외선-B를 일회 조사한 후 시간에 따른 피부보호기능과 표면구조변화의 정도를 TEWL과 주름살밀도로 측정하였다. 자외선-B의 조사 량은 0.5, 1과 3 MED 였으며, 측정 및 관찰은 조사전과 조사 후 1, 3, 5, 7 및 14일에 수행하였다. TEWL은 Evaporimiter로, 주름살밀도는 silicone replica와 image-analyzer를 이용하여 측정하였다. 조사전과 0.5MED 그룹들의 TEWL값은 변화가 없었으나, 1과 3MED그룹들의 TEWL값은 현저한 변화를 보여 3일째에 극대 값을 보였고, 이후 감소하기 시작하여 14일째에는 거의 정상 값에 도달하였다. 반면 주름살밀도는 자외선-B의 조사량에 비례하는 경향을 보여 모든 조사 그룹에서 3-5일째까지 감소한 후 서서히 증가하였다. 결과로부터, 1) 자외선 조사 후 시간에 따른 TEWL과 주름살밀도의 최대, 소 값은 3일째에 나타났으며, 2) 주름살밀도의 회복정도가 조사량에 상관없이 시간에 따라 일정한 기울기를 보였으며, 3) 주름살밀도측정만이 Sub-erythemal 손상의 정도차를 유의하게 보여주었다.

The importance of cornified envelope (CE)-bound lipids to epidermal barrier function is increasingly being recognized. In the present study, we intentionally damaged the cornified layer of hairless mice by ultraviolet irradiation and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment, and assessed the changes in epidermal barrier function by measuring Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). We also measured changes in the amount of CE-bound lipids using thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results showed that both treatments increased TEWL and decreased CE-bound lipids (omega-hydroxy cerami de and omega-hydroxy acid). In addition, investigation of the chronological changes in TEWL revealed an inverse relationship between TEWL and CE-bound lipids, and a correlation between CE-bound lipids and epidermal barrier function. We then measured the amount of CE-bound lipids in the cheek and the medial side of the upper arm in humans. The results showed that because the cheek receives external stimulation on a daily basis, the amount of CE-bound lipids was significantly lower, while the level of TEWL was higher. These observations, together with those from the animal study, indicate that CE-bound lipids are related to epidermal barrier function.

Background and Objectives: The skin barrier protects skin against a harmful environment. Its function includes an antimicrobial barrier as well as a physical barrier. Stress is harmful to the skin barrier and there are many studies on this, but there are few about the effect of stress during pregnancy on the skin barrier of offspring. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stress during pregnancy on the skin barrier of offspring by examination with the naked eye, cortisol, weight, TEWL and histologic tests. Materials and Methods: Male hairless mice ten weeks old were coupled with females for three days. After twelve days the females were divided into two groups. We stressed one group and not the other group. The offspring from the non-stressed (N group) and stressed (S group) grew up until four weeks. The S group was exposed to chronic mild stress using the chronic stress model protocol modified method of Wilner and Towell for a week. We made examinations with the naked eye, assessment of cortisol, weight, TEWL, and histologic test to contrast the S group with the N group. Statistical analysis was performed by using Mann-Whitney and Friedman test. Statistical significance was achieved if the probability was less than 5% (p<0.05). Results: 1. By making an examination with the naked eye, S group showed papules, creases and dryness on their skin, but N showed no change compared with normal skin. 2. There was no statistically significant difference between S group and N group in cortisol (p>0.05). 3. There was no statistically significant difference between S group and N group in weight. N group had less weight than S group (p<0.05). 4. There was no statistically significant difference between S group and N group in TEWL (p>0.05). 5. There was no statistically significant difference between S group and N group in TEWL recovery (p>0.05). 6. In TEWL and TEWL recovery, there was statistically significant difference by time between S group and N group (p<0.005). Histologically, S group showed a thicker epidermis and epidermal crest than N group. Conclusions: We found that stress during pregnancy has negative effects on the skin barrier of offspring. Though there were no statistically significant differences between S group and N group in TEWL recovery, we found evidence that the recovery of skin barrier function is interrupted by stress during pregnancy by examination with both the naked eye and histology.

Objective : Prolonged use of systemic corticosteroids negatively impacts skin barrier function. Corticosteroids have a major role in the practical management of many diseases, so it is necessary to find the drug or supplement which could keep the skin healthy during the systemic corticosteroids therapy. Seed of Trichossnthcs kiiilowii was commonly used for pulmonary disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Many studies have investigated and found that seed of Trichosanthes kirilowii has anti-bacterial, anti-HIV, anti-tumor and immunoregulatory functions. This study was performed to investigate the effect of seed of Trichosmthes kirilowii on the Skin Barrier Method : Triamcinolone 0.4mg was injected male hairless mice for 5 weeks ( 2 times a week, totally 10 times), Just before the first injection, hairless mice were divided into 3 groups; Control ( normal saline medicated group ), GroupA( seed of Trichosuuhes kirilowii qd/day medicated group ) and GroupB( seed of Trichosuuhes kiiilowii bid/day medicated group ), Body weight of all the groups were checked during the experiment, After $10^{th}$ injection, TEWL (Transeidermal water loss) of 3 groups were artificially increased by 9 times tape stripping and the changes of TEWL were checked at before stripping, right after, 2h, 4h, 6h, 24h, 48 and 72h later after stripping, AST, ALT and CBC were also checked. Indeed, stratum corneum of 3 groups were also examined and compared with that of normal hairless mouse. Results : 1. GroupB showed significantly lower body weight among three groups 2, There was no statistical difference at AST, ALT and CBC among three groups 3. GroupB was showed significantly lower TEWL than TEWL of Control at 48h later. 4 GroupB recovered it's TEWL of before tape stripping at 24h later, GroupA recovered that at 48h and Control recovered that at 72h later at the same condition 5. Stratum corneum of GroupA and GroupB were looked almost normal and healthy. On the contrary, stratum corneum of Control was looked thin and unhealthy. Conclusions : Seed of Ttichossnthes kirilowii has some effects on skin barrier function, especially TEWL of high dose corticosteroids injected hairless mouse and the efficacy seemed to be related with the dosage.

본 연구에서는 lactic acid (LA) 및 gluconolactone (GL)의 피부 장벽 개선 효능을 평가하기 위하여 피부세포에서 필라그린, 로리크린, hyaluronic acid (HA), hyaluronan synthase-2 (HAS2), aquaporine-3 (AQP3)의 발현량 및 임상시험을 통한 수분 함유량과 경표피수분손실량(transepidermal water loss, TEWL)을 평가하였다. 장벽 기능(필라그린, 로리크린)과 보습 기능(HA, HAS2, AQP3)에 관련된 인자들의 발현량을 qRT-PCR과 Western blot으로 측정한 결과, H2O2 처리에 의해 감소된 인자들의 발현량이 LA, GL 및 혼합물 처리로 mRNA전사량과 단백질 발현량을 유의적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). LA와 GL 혼합물을 함유하는 나노에멀젼을 에멀젼 반전법으로 제조한 결과 평균 입자 크기는 299.9±0.287 nm로 확인되었다. 나노에멀젼의 TEWL을 Vapometer로 측정한 결과, 제품 사용 2주 후 및 제품 사용 4주 후에 제품 사용 전에 비하여 각각 15.53%, 26.73% 정도 TEWL이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 나노에멀젼의 피부 수분함유량을 Corneometer로 측정한 결과, 제품 사용 2주 후 및 제품 사용 4주 후에 제품 사용 전에 비하여 각각 15.40%, 26.59% 정도 수분 함유량이 유의적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 따라서 LA 및 GL의 피부 장벽 기능 및 보습 효과는 피부 보습 관련 단백질인 HA, HAS2 및 AQP3 발현 증가와 피부 장벽 기능의 주요인자인 필라그린과 로리크린의 발현 증가를 통한 수분 함유량 증가 및 TEWL 감소에 의해 나타나는 것으로 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 개발 가능성을 제시한다.

피부는 스모그, 담배연기 및 UV와 같은 외부환경으로부터 신체를 보호하는 가장 큰 기관이며, 보호 기작으로서 각질세포와 그 사이를 메우고 있는 세라마이드, 콜레스테롤, 지방산 등의 세포간지질이 라멜라 액정 구조로 피부 장벽을 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세포간지질 중 세라마이드 생합성과 관련되어 있는 세린-팔미토일 전이효소(serine-palmitoyltransferase, SPT) 발현을 western blot으로 확인한 결과, 제주산양산삼 추출물이 농도의존적으로 SPT 단백질 발현을 증가시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 제주산양산삼 추출물을 5% 함유한 제형을 2주간 피부에 도포 후 TEWL을 측정하였을 때, 제주산양산삼 추출물을 함유한 에멀젼 도포부위의 TEWL이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구결과는 제주산양산삼 추출물이 SPT의 발현 증가를 통해 세포간 지질의 핵심성분인 세라마이드의 생합성을 증가시켰음을 보여준다. 따라서 제주산양산삼 추출물은 피부장벽기능을 개선시켜 TEWL 감소 효과를 나타내며, 이를 통해 화장품 분야에서 피부장벽 강화 및 보습소재로서 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.
