Abstract

This study was intended to identify the effectiveness of Lithospermum erythrorhizon in the UVB-damaged mouse skin. The C57BL/6 mouse that weighted about 18 g were divided into three groups; the control group (A group), the UVB irradiated group (B group), and the group treated with Lithospermum erythrorhizon extracts after UVB irradiation (C group). In the results of superoxidase dismutant(SOD) activities, the C group was meaningfully lower at the 48hrs, 120 hrs, and 168 hrs group than B group (p<0.05). In the result of catalase(CAT) activities, the C group was decreased at the 120 hrs and 168 hrs group, but meaningless (p>0.05). In the result of light micrograph observation, the B group observed sunburn cells in the epidermis and acute inflammation in the dermis at the 24 hrs and 48 hrs. And proliferation of the epidermis and the stratum granulosum, and found the hyperkertosis at the 72 hrs, 120 hrs, and 168 hrs group than C group. The C group alleviated inflammation in the dermis than B group at the 24 hrs and 48 hrs. And inhibited the proliferation of the epidermis at the 72 hrs, 120 hrs, and 168 hrs groups than B group. In conclusion, Lithospermum erythrorhizon water extracts may protect the UVB-damaged mouse skin.

본 연구는 UVB 조사로 인해 발생된 유해산소와 마우스 피부조직 변화에 대한 자초추출물의 유효성을 알아보기 위해 UVB 조사군과 UVB 조사 후 자초추출물을 도포한 군으로 비교 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. CAT, SOD의 활성도에서는 UVB 조사 후 자초추출물 도포군이 UVB 조사군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 그리고 조직학적 변화에서, UVB 조사군은 표피층이 얇아지며 표피괴사 형태와 진피조직에서 염증세포가 많이 관찰되었다. 또한 표피층이 증식되는 과각화현상이 보이며 표피-진피 능선도 느슨하게 관찰되어졌으며, 모낭의 소실 또한 관찰되었다. UVB 조사 후 자초추출물 도포군에서는 표피층은 더 얇아졌으나 표피 괴사현상은 보이지 않으며 염증부위는 UVB 조사군에 비해 훨씬 경감된 상태였다. 48시간군부터 표피층이 재생되어졌으며, 표피 증식과 과립층의 배열이 억제되고 정상적인 모낭과 표피-진피 능선을 관찰할 수 있었고 168시간군에서는 control 수준으로까지 회복되어진 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상 실험결과를 종합해 볼 때, 자초추출물은 UVB 조사로 발생된 유해산소 활성을 감소시켜주며, 급성반응인 일광화상세포, 염증반응을 감소시킬 수 있으며 피부염증을 예방하는 광보호제로서의 사용도 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
