The effects of carnosic acid on tyrosinase (TYR)/microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)/ tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1)/TYRP2 messenger ribonucleic acid expression levels and melanin content were determined.Results: Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time qRT-PCR) showed that carnosic acid decreased the expression levels of TYR/MITF/TYRP1/TYRP2 and melanin content compared to alpha-melanocite-stimulating hormone-treated B16F1 cells. The tyrosinase activity assay also revealed that carnosic acid decreased melanin production in B16F1 cells.Conclusion: These data indicate that carnosic acid increases the whitening effects on the B16F1 cells. Therefore, carnosic acid is a potential ingredient that can be used for skin whitening. Additionally, further research on the mechanisms of the action of carnosic acid should be conducted for the development of functional foods, cosmetics, and medicines.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85407238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HDF cell viability was examined after treatment with F. esculentum honey and expression of genes encoding collagen and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis.Results: Analysis of antioxidant activity showed that total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of F. esculentum honey increased in a dose-dependent manner. qRT-PCR analysis revealed an increase in mRNA expression of the collagen-producing genes, collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and collagen type III alpha 1 chain (COL3A1), whereas MMP1 and MMP3 expression decreased in HDFs treated with F. esculentum honey. Furthermore, F. esculentum honey protected HDFs from ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced cytotoxicity and reduced reactive oxygen species production. Expression of COL1A1 and COL3A1, which was reduced by UV irradiation, was restored in a dose-dependent manner, whereas expression of MMP1 and MMP3, which was increased by UV irradiation, was reduced in a dose-dependent manner in HDFs pretreated with F. esculentum honey.Conclusion: These findings indicate that F. esculentum honey is a natural antioxidant that is enriched in phenols and flavonoids and has the potential to act as an antiaging cosmetic ingredient due to its protective effects on UV irradiation-damaged skin cells.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84701981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The irritation potential of the extracts was investigated using water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1)-based cytotoxicity assay and expression analysis of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL1β in B16F10 cells and HaCaT keratinocytes, respectively. The anti-melanogenic effects of the extracts were analyzed using intracellular melanin contents and tyrosinase activity assays. The effects of the extracts on tyrosinase expression were analyzed at the mRNA and protein levels. The effects of those extracts on the stability of tyrosinase protein were analyzed by evaluating the protein level after cycloheximide treatment.Results: WST-1-based cytotoxicity assay indicated that the concentration of ≤1.0% for lotus seed and seedpod extracts did not exhibit any cytotoxicity in B16F10 cells. Also, qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of IL-1β mRNAs was not increased by those concentrations of the extracts in HaCaT keratinocytes. Additionally, intracellular melanin contents assay showed that those extracts significantly inhibited α-MSH-induced melanin synthesis. Furthermore, cellular tyrosinase activity was significantly inhibited by the extracts. Additional investigations revealed that tyrosinase activity reduction was independent of its mRNA expression level, but dependent on its protein expression level. These findings were further confirmed by the results of the cycloheximide experiments stating that the protein stability of tyrosinase was reduced after the treatment with those extracts.Conclusion: Lotus seed and seedpod extracts showed anti-pigmentation effects by accelerating degradation of tyrosinase protein at the post-translation level in B16F10 cells.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79830882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To confirm whitening effect of chambirum, tyrosinase inhibitory activity and melanin content were investigated. To confirm anti-wrinkle effect of chambirum, the elastase inhibition effect and type I procollagen production was assayed. B16F10 mouse melanoma cells and CCD986sk human dermal fibroblast cells were used to assay cell viability.Results: The DPPH radical scavenging activity of Amaranthus mangostanus ethanol extracts (AME) and Amaranthus mangostanus water extracts (AMW) was 49% and 56%, respectively, at 500 μg/mL. The SOD-like activity of AME and AMW was 67% and 57%, respectively, compared with that of the standard sample L-ascorbic acid at 38% at 1 mM. AME showed 25.9% (L-tyrosine) and 17.8% (L-DOPA), and AMW showed 23.4% (L-tyrosine) and 18.5% (L-DOPA) of tyrosinase inhibition assay. In addition, the intracellular melanin production in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells was decreased by AME and AMW by 25.5% and 24.0%, respectively. Additionally, the elastase inhibition assay results demonstrated inhibition by AME (19.7%) and AMW (17.2%) at 500 μg/mL and the amount of type I procollagen was shown to be insignificant.

The structural relationship between consumers' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control was empirically examined for this purpose.Method: As a theoretical model, behavioral studies on the selection attributes of functional cosmetics were proposed based on Ajzen's theory of planned behavior, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 22. After determining the selection attributes of functional cosmetics, a correlation analysis was performed to understand the correlation between consumer behavioral intentions leading to purchase.Result: It was verified that the higher the attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control, which are sub-elements of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the higher the consumer behavioral intention of functional cosmetics. At this time, it was discovered that the higher the perceived behavioral control among the TPB, the higher the behavioral intention. Furthermore, as the behavioral intention increased, so did the preference for wrinkle improvement, whitening improvement and UV protection among the functional cosmetic selection attributes. In this case, wrinkle improvement was discovered to have the greatest influence on consumer behavioral intention in the structural relationship of functional cosmetic selection attributes.Conclusion: Recently, as the scope of functional cosmetics has expanded and consumer interest has increased, the needs and expectations of consumers for the use of functional cosmetics have diversified, as have the functional selection properties. Therefore, it is critical to carefully consider the characteristics of consumers to establish a marketing strategy for functional cosmetics. While most previous studies related to functional cosmetics focused solely on the purchasing behavior of consumers, this study is significant in that it identified the process of behavioral intention that determines consumer behavior leading to the purchase of functional cosmetics in greater detail.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76935833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
