摘要
The silk protein sericin has been identified as a potent antioxidant and photoprotective agent against ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation in mouse skin model. In this study, we have investigated the anti-apoptotic effect of sericin in UVB (30 mJ/cm(2))-irradiated human keratinocytes. Flow cytometry analysis has shown that pre-treatment with sericin inhibits UVB-induced apoptosis. The pre-treatment with sericin suppresses bax expression, up-regulates the expression of bcl-2, prevents both the activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Generation of intracellular hydrogen peroxide in UVB-treated keratinocytes is inhibited through pre-treatment with sericin suggesting that sericin probably prevents mitochondrial damage.
