Abstract

Background: Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua (PCH) is a traditional Chinese medicine, a plant with the same origin of medicine and food, and has high edible value. However, whether Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua has skin care efficacy remains to be studied.

Aims: To explore the anti-aging effect of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua extract on human skin fibroblasts (FB).

Materials and Methods: An aging model of FB cells induced by H2O2 plus passage was established in vitro. The effect of PCH extract on β - galactosidase, a key index of cell aging, was detected by staining method; The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression level of p21 in cells treated with PCH extract; ELISA was used to detect the effects of IL-6, IL-8 inflammatory factors, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and MCP chemokines in senescent cells; Immunofluorescence detection of DNA damage related protein γH2A.X in cells treated with PCH extract.

Results: Compared with the blank control group, PCH extract can reduce the activity of β - galactosidase in FB cells, reduce the mRNA expression level of p21, inhibit the content of IL-6, IL-8, MMP1, MCP, and inhibit the expression of γH2A.X.

Conclusions :PCH extract can fight against cell aging by reducing SASPs related indicators after cell aging, and can be used as a potential natural active substance for skin anti (inflammatory) aging.

Introduction

Anti-aging has been an eternal topic since ancient times. People have been trying to find effective and safe anti-aging ingredients. Therefore, we prefer to add pure natural anti-aging ingredients to anti-aging skin care products to achieve anti-aging effects [1]. China is rich in herbal resources, and good natural anti-aging actives may be found.

Polygonatum belongs to the genus Polygonatum in the Liliaceae family. It belongs to the homology of medicine and food [2]. The ancients used Polygonatum as a food for health preservation. The rhizomes are thick and rich in nutrients, including starch, polysaccharides, proteins, etc., as well as rich in essential amino acids and vitamins for the human body. At the same time, the history of medicinal use of Polygonatum has a long history in the records of Chinese herbal medicine. The "Shenxian Zhicao Jing [3]" records: " Polygonatum can widen the middle and replenish qi, harmonize the five internal organs, strengthen the muscles, strengthen the bone marrow, double the strength, make the body not grow old for many years, the color is bright, the whitening becomes darker, and the teeth are regenerated." All of these show that Polygonatum has anti-aging health benefits.

There are three sources of Polygonatum recorded in the 2015 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, namely Polygonatum sibiricum Red., Polygonatum kingianum Coll. et Hemsl., and Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua (PCH). Compared with the first two types, there are fewer studies on PCH. PCH is mainly distributed in the southern provinces of China, and its rhizomes also have medicinal and edible values [4]. It is reported that PCH has anti-fatigue [5], antioxidant [6], anti-tumor [7] and other effects. There are reports in the literature that the polysaccharide, the main active ingredient of PCH, can extend the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans. However, these anti-aging studies on Polygonatum sibiricum mainly focus on oral administration, and there is relatively little research on its external skin effects. Although researchers have previously explored its anti-aging effects on mouse skin [8], it remains to be seen whether it has the same effect on human skin cells. 

In this study, we have chosen Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua (PCH), a lesser-studied species, as our research subject, with the intention of developing a natural anti-aging ingredient that can be applied in skincare products. 

It is known that the accumulation of senescent cells can cause the aging of tissues or organs. Studies have shown that the number of senescent fibroblasts increases with age, triggering skin aging and accompanied by changes in some aging markers [9]. It is reported that there are many aging-related indicators in skin aging, such as increased SA-β-gal activity [10]; changes in the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) (such as p21, etc.) [11]; elevated expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and increased DNA damage, etc [12]. This article established a human skin fibroblast aging model using H2O2, and evaluated the anti-bacterial activity of PCH extract through SA-β-gal staining, expression of p21, aging-related secretory phenotype SASPs and expression of DNA damage marker γH2A.X.

Results

1.Effect of PCH extract on aging markers SA-β-gal and p21

Previous research has shown that H2O2 can cause the aging of fibroblasts [18]. In order to explore whether PCH extract has anti-aging effects, we conducted SA-β-gal staining experiments [10]. The results showed that compared with untreated fibroblasts (BC group), H2O2-treated cells (NC group) The proportion of SA-β-gal positive cells increased significantly. Compared with the NC group, the proportion of SA-β-gal positive cells was significantly reduced after incubation with PCH extract at 0.1 % concentration and 1 % concentration, which were reduced by 95.6 % and 97.7 % respectively, even lower than that in the BC group (Figure 1 and Table 1). At the same time, we performed qRT-PCR detection of the aging marker p21 and found that the expression of p21 was reduced by 87.5 % and 90.7 % after incubation with PCH extract at 0.1 % concentration and 1 % concentration (Figure 2). The above results show that PCH extract has anti-aging effects.

2.Effect of PCH extract on the expression of SASP factors

SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype) is a typical feature of cellular senescence. IL-6 and IL-8 are one of the main cytokines in SASP signaling and play a direct mediating role in inflammation [19, 20]. MCP-1 is a member of the chemokine CC subfamily, which mediates inflammatory responses and can also induce the production of inflammatory mediators [21]. MMP-1 is a protease that promotes cell invasion and metastasis [22]. At the same time, MMP-1 is involved in the degradation process of collagen [23]. We used ELISA to detect IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 and MMP-1. The results showed that 0.1 % concentration of PCH extract can significantly inhibit the increase of IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and MMP-1 caused by H2O2. The inhibition rates are 12.13 %, 11.43 %, 80.45 %, and 8.18 % respectively; the PCH extract at a concentration of 1 % can also significantly inhibit the increase in IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and MMP-1 caused by H2O2. The inhibition rates are 34.2 %, 29.43 %, 83.54 %, and 38.06 % respectively (Figure 3), indicating that PCH extract can inhibit the expression of SASP-related factors.

3.Effect of PCH extract on DNA damage repair

DNA damage is also one of the signs of cellular aging. As age increases, DNA damage continues to increase, and γH2A.X is a sensitive molecular 

marker of DNA damage and repair, used to monitor the occurrence and regression of DNA damage [24]. We performed immunofluorescence staining of γH2A.X on fibroblasts and found that compared with the BC group, PCH extract can significantly reduce the expression of γH2A.X.

Discussion

The skin is the largest organ of the body and plays an important protective role. Senescent cells have been found to accumulate with age and may contribute to age-related skin changes. Like other tissues, skin aging is affected not only by external factors caused by the environment, but also by endogenous changes. Studies have shown that the activity of catalase in aging skin is significantly reduced, and the content of H2O2 is significantly increased [25]. H2O2 will cause an increase in the content of reactive oxygen species ROS in the skin, and ROS is one of the main contributors to aging [26]. On the one hand, excess ROS will activate the NF-κB pathway, thereby activating SASP factors, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and other molecules expression, thereby inducing an inflammatory response [27]; on the other hand, ROS can cause DNA damage [28] and induce aging. Therefore, H2O2 was used as an inducer of skin fibroblasts in this study to simulate the aging phenomenon caused by the oxidative process during skin aging in vivo [18].

SA-β-gal [10] and p21[11] are the classical markers of cell senescence. In this study, we found that PCH extract was effective in reducing the expression of SA-β-gal and p21 in H2O2-induced human skin fibroblasts, suggesting the potential of PCH extract in anti-aging of human skin cells. Meanwhile, PCH extract can reduce the expression of inflammation-related factors such as IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and MMP-1[19-22] in fibroblasts. It also suggests a potential role of PCH extract in anti-inflammatory aging, which needs to be followed up with further 

demonstration. In addition, DNA damage is one of the important factors in skin aging, and in this study, we also found that PCH extract had a significant reduction of the DNA damage marker γH2A.X protein [24], and had a better effect as the concentration increased. Perhaps in the future, the active ingredients can be further enriched through the improvement of the extraction process, in order to enhance the efficacy of PCH extracts in skin anti-aging.

Although some interesting findings were obtained in this study, there are still some limitations. For example, the mechanism of action of PCH extract was not thoroughly investigated in this study, and further studies are needed to elucidate the specific biological effects and molecular mechanisms. Meanwhile, the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1[29] is critical to the aging process of the skin and the prevention of various chronic diseases. Whether PCH is a Sirtuin 1 activator and prevents the actions of Sirtuin 1 inhibitors with relevance to skin aging is a question worthy of further exploration.

In summary, we found the anti-aging effect of PCH extract on human skin fibroblasts, which is expected to be used as a natural, safe and effective anti-aging ingredient in skin care products in the future.

Conclusions

This study has found that the extract of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua has anti-aging effects on human skin fibroblasts and can be added to skincare products as a natural anti-aging active ingredient.
