Antioxidant potential of silk protein sericin against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in skin fibroblasts.
The antioxidant potential of silk protein sericin from the non-mulberry tropical tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta cocoon has been assessed and compared with that of the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori. Skin fibroblast cell line (AH927) challenged with hydrogen peroxide served as the positive control for the experiment. Our results showed that the sericin obtained from tasar cocoons offers protec...
متن کاملHydrogen peroxide mediates EGCG-induced antioxidant protection in human keratinocytes.
The beneficial health effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main catechin of green tea, have been attributed to complex interactions with a focus on antioxidative properties. Susceptibility to autoxidation and production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), mostly H(2)O(2), have been suggested to occur in vitro but also in vivo. In this study, we address whether autoxidat...
متن کاملHuman Skin RNases Offer Dual Protection against Invading Bacteria
To control the growth of microorganisms on its surface, human skin produces and releases certain peptides and proteins, including cathelicidin LL-37 and β-defensins. The ribonuclease A (RNase A) superfamily is an important class in this armament (Koczera et al., 2016). This superfamily consists of 13 genes located on chromosome 14; eight of the 13 genes encode proteins (RNases 1–8) that are cat...
متن کاملPiper betle extracts exhibit antitumor activity by augmenting antioxidant potential
The present study was conducted to evaluate the methanolic extract of Piper betle leaves (MPBL) and its organic fractions with regard to antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice and to confirm their antioxidant activities. At 24 h post-intraperitoneal inoculation of tumor cells into mice, extracts were administered at 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight for n...
متن کاملNrf2-mediated protection against UVA radiation in human skin keratinocytes.
Ultraviolet A (UVA, 320-400 nm) radiation is an oxidizing agent that causes significant damage to cellular components and that leads to photoaging and cancer. It strongly induces NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expressions in cultured FEK4 human skin fibroblasts but weakly induces it in transformed HaCaT skin keratinocytes. Nrf2 silencing increases cell damage at a moderate dose of UVA irradiatio...
