Problems solved by technology

However, sunscreens contain chemicals that can trigger photosensitivity, so that the combination of these chemicals and UV rays can have adverse effects on the skin, such as rashes or more severe sunburn
In addition, collagen or hyaluronic acid injected into the skin is easily decomposed by enzymes in the body over time, so these substances must be injected regularly, which is costly
Oral supplementation of collagen or hyaluronic acid will cause these large molecules to be digested into small molecules of amino acids or monosaccharides in the gastrointestinal tract. Although the body can use these amino acids or monosaccharides to synthesize proteins or polysaccharides, it does not necessarily form Collagen or hyaluronic acid, so supplementation with collagen or hyaluronic acid has limited real effect

Embodiment 1

[0036] Preparation of Ascophyllum nodosum extract

[0037] Firstly, wash the Ascophyllum nodosum, and process it into an appropriate size by, for example, cutting and grinding, and then extract the treated Ascophyllum nodosum with water, alcohol, or a mixture of alcohol and water. The solvent is preferably water, and the liquid-solid ratio of the solvent to the Ascophyllum nodosum is 5-20:1-5. The extraction temperature is between 50°C to 100°C, preferably 80°C to 95°C. The extraction time in this embodiment is 0.5-3 hours.

[0038] After the Ascophyllum nodosum extract obtained through the above extraction steps is cooled to room temperature, it can be filtered through a 400 mesh filter to remove residual solids. The filtered Ascophyllum nodosum extract can be further concentrated under reduced pressure at 45° C.˜70° C. to obtain a concentrated product. In order to obtain the solid Ascophyllum nodosum extract, the aforementioned Ascophyllum nodosum extract concentrated und...

[0040] Ascophyllum nodosum extract enhances the expression of specific gene groups in epidermal keratinocytes

[0041] In order to explore the regulatory effect of Ascophyllum nodosum extract on gene expression in skin cells, in this example, qPCR technology was used to measure the gene expression changes of primary human epidermal keratinocytes HPEK-50 treated with water extract of Ascophyllum nodosum. First, the 1.5×10 5 HPEK-50 cells were inoculated into each well of a 6-well plate containing 2 mL of cell culture medium and cultured at 37°C. Secondly, these cells were treated with 2 mL of SFM medium containing 1 mg / mL Ascophyllum nodosum water extract (triple experiment), which was used as the experimental group. At the same time, another group of HPEK-50 cells treated with SFM medium without Ascophyllum nodosum water extract was set as a control group. After 6 or 24 hours, the cells were harvested for qPCR.

[0044] Extract of Ascophyllum nodosum enhances the resistance of dermal fibroblasts to ultraviolet radiation

[0045] To examine whether Ascophyllum nodosum extract affects skin resistance to UV irradiation, the cell survival of human dermal fibroblasts CCD-966SK irradiated with UVA after treatment with Ascophyllum nodosum extract was assessed using a cell survival assay (MTT assay) Rate. In short, the 5×10 3 CCD-966SK cells were inoculated into each well of a 96-well plate containing 200 μL of cell culture medium. After culturing at 37°C for 24 hours, the cell medium was removed and 200 μL of cells containing 1 mg / mL Ascophyllum nodosum water extract was added. Medium to cells were used as experimental groups, which were further cultured at 37°C for 24 hours. Thereafter, the cells were subjected to 12 J / cm in a UV irradiation box (Vilber) 2 Ultraviolet A (wavelength 315-400nm) is irradiated for 1 hour, and this radiation dose will cause half of the cells to die. At the sa...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for modulating the expressions of the group of genes, comprising administering to a subject a composition comprising an effective amount of an Ascophyllum nodosum extract, wherein the gene group includes: (i) a Group A gene selected from the group consisting of transglutaminase (TGM1), keratin proteins (KRT14), filament aggregating proteins (FLG), aquaporins3(AQP3), Beta glucocerebrosidase (GBA), Hyaluronic acid synthase3 (HAS3), and combinations thereof; or (ii) a Group B gene selected from the group consisting of free hyaluronic acid synthetase (HAS2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP2), Lysine oxidase (LOX), and combinations thereof. The Ascophyllum nodosum extract improves skin moisture, skin elasticity, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the use of the extract of Ascophyllum nodosum, in particular to the use of the extract of Ascophyllum nodosum for regulating the expression of gene groups. Background technique [0002] The skin is the first line of defense for the human body to isolate the damage from the external environment, such as ultraviolet rays, pathogens, friction, etc., and to prevent water loss. From the outside to the inside, the skin consists of the epidermis, the dermis, which is mainly composed of connective tissue, and the subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and is constantly renewed. There are continuously dividing cells (such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, melanocytes) between the epidermis and dermis, and the activities of these cells are very sensitive to ultraviolet rays. The dermis contains collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which give the skin elasticity and support. As we grow older, the ...
