Though melatonin is known to improve ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative damage and inflammatory conditions via blockade of nuclear factor (NF)-κB, interleukin (IL)-6, there is no report on anti-wrinkle effect of melatonin to date. Hence in the present study, anti-wrinkle mechanism of melatonin was elucidated in UVB treated HaCaT keratinocytes and hairless mice. Herein melatonin protected against a radical initiator tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH) induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, matrix metalloprotease 1 (MMP-1) and cytotoxicity in HaCaT keratinocytes. Also, melatonin suppressed the expression of sonic hedgehog (SHH) and GLI for hedgehog signaling, p-NF-kB, cyclooxygenase (COX-2), p-ERK for inflammatory responses in UVB treated HaCaT keratinocytes. Furthermore, melatonin protected skin from wrinkle formation, transdermal water loss in hairless mice irradiated by UVB for 8 weeks. Notably, melatonin prevented against epidermal thickness and dermal collagen degradation in UVB irradiated hairless mice by Hematoxylin & Eosin and Masson’s trichrome staining. Taken together, these findings suggest that melatonin reduces wrinkle formation via inhibition of ROS/SHH and inflammatory proteins such as NF-kB/COX-2/ERK/MMP1.

Abstract The cellular signalling pathways of a potent 20-epi-22-oxa vitamin D3 analogue (KH 1060) were examined in vivo in a hairless mouse model. Seventy two hours after a single topical application of KH 1060 a thickening of the epidermis (from 24·8 ±1·2 μm at 0·01 pmol/cm2 KH 1060 to 124·2 ± 6 μm at 5 pmol/cm2 KH 1060, P<0·001) was elicited due to epidermal hyperproliferation. This effect could be blocked by topical 2·5 μmol/cm sphingosine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C. Two hours after topical application of 2·5 pmol/cm2 KH 1060 a translocation of protein kinase C activity from cytoplasm to the membrane fractions was observed. Moreover, using a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction technique, a transient upregulation of c-fos gene expression was seen 2 hours after topical treatment with KH 1060. The expression of c-fos was dependent on protein kinase C activation, since after pretreatment with the protein kinase C blocker sphingosine, c-fos messenger RNA was not detected. These findings strongly suggest that KH 1060 stimulates epidermal growth through activation of the protein kinase C - c-fos signalling axis in vivo. Journal of Endocrinology (1994) 143, 521–525

The cellular effects of u.v. radiation have been studied by using a hairless-mouse model in vivo. U.v. B radiation (u.v.B) induced the activity of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in mouse epidermis. Maximal induction was noted after radiation with 90 mJ/cm2, and increased ODC activity was first detected 2 h after u.v.B exposure. U.v.B. also induced the expression of the ODC gene in a time- and dose-dependent manner, but did not induce the levels of actin mRNA transcripts. Cycloheximide treatment did not alter basal levels of ODC mRNA transcripts and had no effect on the u.v.B induction of ODC-gene expression. The results of these experiments demonstrate that u.v.B radiation induces both the expression of the ODC gene and the activity of the enzyme, and provides a useful ‘in vivo’ paradigm for the analysis of the molecular effects of u.v.B radiation.
