In vitro and in vivo anti-photoaging effects of an isoflavone extract from soybean cake.
Journal of Ethnopharmacology 2009 October 30
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Soy has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years for its health and nutritional benefits, as well as to treat and care for the skin. Advanced skin care research has shown that soy isoflavone and genistein are effective in reducing damage to the skin from the sun.
AIM OF THE STUDY: To study the protective effects of isoflavone extract from soybean cake against the UVB-induced skin damage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The in vitro effects and possible mechanisms of soybean extract on UVB protection were determined in HaCaT cells. In the in vivo study, ICR-Foxn/(nu) mice were irradiated with UVB. The epidermal thickness, catalase and the expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were detected to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the isoflavone extract.
RESULTS: Our in vitro studies showed that UVB-induced HaCaT cell death and the phosphorylation of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 decreased in the presence of isoflavone extract. In the in vivo studies, we found that the topical application of isoflavone extract before UVB irritation decreased the epidermal thickness and the expressions of COX-2 and PCNA and increased catalase concentration. These results showed anti-photoaging effect of isoflavone extract from soybean cake involved the inhibition of UVB-induced apoptosis and inflammation.
CONCLUSIONS: It is shown that isoflavone extract from soybean cake may be functional cosmeceutical candidate for skin photoaging.
