The effects of fucoidan-rich polysaccharides extracted from Sargassum horneri on enhancing collagen-related skin barrier function as a potential cosmetic product. J Cosmet Dermatol 2023. [PMID: 38031658 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.16108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sargassum horneri came ashore after flowing from the South China Sea to Jeju Island a few years ago. This caused a significant environmental impact on coastal areas where S. horneri has accumulated because of decomposition and the release of toxic substances, such as hydrogen sulfide. AIMS In this study, we evaluated a biological ingredient prepared from fucoidan-rich S. horneri and demonstrated its antiwrinkle effects on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced fibroblast cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fucoidan samples from S. horneri were prepared according to a previously published process with modifications. The compositional analysis of S. horneri fucoidan extract (SHFE) as well as its effects on antiaging were examined to determine its utility as a functional material. RESULTS SHFE exhibited antioxidant properties using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Treatment of UVB-induced fibroblasts with SHFE significantly increased the synthesis of procollagen compared with adenosine treatment and inhibited MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression. In a clinical study, SHFE lotion improved skin barrier effects in forearms and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values were reduced after 3 weeks of use compared with a placebo. CONCLUSION SHFE has utility as an additive with functional antiaging effects for a range of cosmetic products as it restores skin hydration in the epidermal barrier.

L-Fucose ameliorates high-fat diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis in mice. J Transl Med 2018; 16:344. [PMID: 30526624 PMCID: PMC6286552 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-018-1718-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2018] [Accepted: 12/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background l-Fucose (Fuc), a six-deoxy hexose monosaccharide, is present endogenously in humans and animals and has a wide range of biological functions. In the present study, we aimed to examine the effect of Fuc on obesity and hepatic steatosis in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods C57BL/6 mice were fed a normal chow (NC) or HFD for 18 weeks to induce obesity and fatty liver. Fuc was administered intragastrically from the 8th week to the end of the experiment (18 weeks). Results Metagenomic analysis showed that HFD altered the genomic profile of gut microbiota in the mice; specifically, expression of alpha-l-fucosidase, the gene responsible for Fuc generation, was markedly reduced in the HFD group compared with that in the NC group. Fuc treatment decreased body weight gain, fat accumulation, and hepatic triglyceride elevation in HFD-fed mice. In addition, Fuc decreased the levels of endotoxin-producing bacteria of the Desulfovibrionaceae family and restored HFD-induced enteric dysbiosis at both compositional and functional levels. Conclusion Our findings suggest that Fuc might be a novel strategy to treat HFD-induced obesity and fatty liver.

[PMID: 30126169 PMCID: PMC6117676 DOI: 10.3390/md16080286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2018] [Revised: 08/08/2018] [Accepted: 08/17/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) B exposure induces DNA damage and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes skin photoaging through signaling pathways of inflammation and modulation of extracellular matrix remodeling proteins, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). As low molecular-weight fucoidan (LMF) has potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, we examined the protective effects of LMF against UVB-induced photoaging. A UVB-irradiated mouse model was topically treated with myricetin or LMF at 2.0, 1.0 and 0.2 mg/cm2 (LMF2.0, LMF1.0 and LMF0.2, respectively) once a day for 15 weeks. Wrinkle formation, inflammation, oxidative stress, MMP expression, and apoptosis in the treated regions were compared with those in a distilled water-treated photoaging model (UVB control). LMF treatments, particularly LMF2.0 and LMF1.0, significantly inhibited the wrinkle formation, skin edema, and neutrophil recruitment into the photo-damaged lesions, compared with those in the UVB control. While LMF decreased interleukin (IL)-1β release, it increased IL-10. The LMF treatment inhibited the oxidative stresses (malondialdehyde and superoxide anion) and enhanced endogenous antioxidants (glutathione). Additionally, LMF reduced the mRNA expression of MMP-1, 9, and 13. The histopathological analyses revealed the anti-photoaging effects of LMF exerted via its antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and MMP-9-inhibiting effects. These suggest that LMF can be used as a skin-protective remedy for photoaging.

Abstract
The resilience of the human skin is mediated by elastic fibres mainly consisting of fibrillins and elastin. In order to establish a model system to study the impact of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compounds on the elastic system in vitro, we analyzed the expression of elastin in a newly developed full-thickness skin model. After a 5-week cultivation period the skin model developed a fully differentiated epidermis including a stratum corneum. The dermis contains fibroblasts embedded in extracellular matrix proteins. The models were viable until at least 51 days at the air-liquid interface (ALI) culture. Using immunohistochemistry we detected elastin first on day 7 of ALI. With proceeding culture time, elastin-positive fibres of different lengths and distribution patterns accumulated in the dermal compartment. Elastin mRNA expression started on day 7 of ALI, increased until day 10 and then dropped to a level comparable to that of day 7. Our results demonstrate that in our full-thickness skin model an in vivo-like elastic system, which clearly mimics at least two subsets of dermal elastic fibres, is generated. This physiological property favours the model as a promising animal-free approach to study those processes leading to an environment- and age-dependent decrease in skin elasticity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin aging is accompanied by wrinkle formation. At some sites, as the periorbital skin, this is a relatively early phenomenon, variable from one woman to the other and even between the right and left eye. PURPOSE We tested the effect of a preparation with fucose-rich oligo- and polysaccharide (FROP-3) on periorbital wrinkles (crow's feet) on a team of voluntaries. METHOD The efficiency of a preparation containing as active principle a fucose-rich polysaccharide in a base-cream for the treatment of temporal periorbital wrinkles on 20 voluntary women was tested as follows: the women applied the cream twice a day for 4 weeks. Negative replicas were taken on the periorbital skin before and after 4 weeks of application of the cream. The results were evaluated by semi-automated morphometry on the plastic replicas and expressed as the 'wrinkle-factor' obtained by multiplying total wrinkle length in millimeters by the average wrinkle width. RESULTS After 4 weeks of treatment, there was a significant improvement of the periorbital wrinkles for the majority of the voluntary team who tested the cream. On the 29 periocular wrinkles examined 65% showed an improvement at the end of the treatment. In two cases, the improvement was 100% on one eye (disappearance of the crow's feet) and of 75% and 79% on the other eye. On six eyes, there was no significant change after the end of the treatment, and on four eyes a worsening was observed. The age-dependent modifications showed that improvement was independent of age and was the result of individual skin reactions to the cream. The occurrence and the severity of crow's feet is highly individual, and differs from one side of the face to the other for the same person. These strong individual variations explain the highly variable results, not only from one woman to the other but also comparing one side of the face to the other for the same person. CONCLUSION Under the effect of 4 weeks of treatment with the FROP-3-containing cream, most of the voluntaries had their periorbital wrinkles attenuated and some women showed a total regression of crow's feet on one of their eyes.

Abstract
The effect of L-fucose and fucose-rich polysaccharides (FROP-s [Biomed. Pharmacother., 2003; 57: 187-94]) was investigated, using human skin fibroblast cultures at several passages. The cells were incubated with radioactive glucosamine for 24 h, followed by the determination of individual glycosaminoglycans (GAG-s) by selective hydrolysis using specific enzymes. The effect of L-fucose and of FROP-3 [Biomed. Pharmacother., in 2003; 57: 187-94], both at 1 and 10 microg/ml, added to the culture medium, was investigated. L-Fucose stimulated the incorporation of the tracer in heparan sulfates by fibroblasts at the ninth passage by 20%. FROP-3 stimulated incorporation in keratan sulfates by 45% by fibroblasts of the fifth passage. This effect was identical at both concentrations tested. For fibroblasts at the ninth passage FROP-3 stimulated incorporation in dermatan sulfate. This effect was dose dependent of the order of +67% at 1 microg/ml and +128% at 10 microg/ml. Incorporation in hyaluronan was also stimulated by about +27%. These stimulations of GAG-biosynthesis might play a role in the increase of total skin thickness of hairless rats treated with L-fucose, as well as in several other favorable results recorded for FROP-3 such as the increased hydration (resistance to pressure) and elasticity of human skin (Robert C, Robert AM, Robert L).
