Abstract

To evaluate the whitening effect of Camellia sinensis water extract (CSWE), CSWE was treated to melan-a cells. Total polyphenol contents and flavonoid contents of CSWE were 102 mg/g and 87 mg/g, respectively. The electron-donating ability of CSWE revealed a dose-dependent response, showing the excellent ability of 82% at 800 ${\mu}g$/mL, and which was higher than the arbutin (48%). The CSWE significantly (p<0.001) suppressed the melanin synthesis and the development of melanocyte dendrites was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. The CSWE significantly (p<0.001) inhibited both intra-cellular and cell-extracted tyrosinase activities. And inhibitory efficacies of CSWE on both melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity were significantly (p<0.001) higher than the arbutin. The tyrosinase protein expression was not influenced by arbutin treatment. However, CSWE treatment significantly (p<0.001) reduced it. Both arbutin and CSWE treatment did not influence on mRNA expressions of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 and tyrosinase related protein-2.

홍차 열수추출물의 멜라닌 합성 저해능과 작용기전을 알아보기 위해 in vitro 실험으로 항산화능을 확인한 후, melan-a 세포를 사용하여 멜라닌 합성 저해능, tyrosinase 활성 저해능 및 발현저해능 등에 대한 실험을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다.(1) 항산화능 실험에서 홍차 열수추출물의 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 102, 87 mg/g으로 양성대조군인 알부틴(25, 11 mg/g)보다 높았고, 전자공여능 역시 800 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 82%로 알부틴(48%)보다 높았다. (2) Melan-a 세포 실험에서 홍차 열수추출물은 수지상돌기의 발달과 멜라닌 생합성을 효과적으로 저해하였고, 멜라닌 합성 저해능과 tyrosinase 활성 저해능이 알부틴보다 유의하게 (p<0.001) 높았다. (3) Tyrosinase 단백질 발현 저해능 실험에서 알부틴은 발현에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않은 반면, 홍차 열수추출물은 발현을 유의하게 (p<0.001) 저해하였다. (4) 유전자 발현 저해능 실험에서 알부틴과 홍차 열수추출물 모두 tyrosinase, TRP-1과 TRP-2의 mRNA 발현에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구를 통하여, 홍차 열수추출물은 우수한 항산화능과 함께 멜라닌 합성 저해능을 확인하였으며, 이는 tyrosinase의 생합성을 저해시키기 보다는 tyrosinase 단백질 발현량을 줄이고 tyrosinase 활성을 감소시킴으로써 멜라닌 합성을 저해시키는 것으로 사료된다.
