RESUMO

Clinical studies have identified that an excessive exposure of UV light can cause oxidative stress (OS) and tyrosinase enzyme over-expression, which are associated with multiple diseases including atherosclerosis, cancers, diabetics, rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we investigated the impact of grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSPE) on regulating OS and tyrosinase activity in human epidermal melanocytes. This study revealed that GSPE did not affect cell viability and protected cells from UV induced damage in a dose-dependent manner. 5-(-6)-Carboxy-2,7-di-chlorodihydro-fluorescein diacetate staining (i.e., a fluorescence staining for intracellular (OS)) indicated that GSPE reduced OS level caused by UV exposure. A similar trend was also confirmed by flow cytometry analysis, where GSPE down-regulated OS level. Tyrosinase analysis showed that GSPE treatment decreased tyrosinase activity. Taken all data together, GSPE may restore the cellular damage caused by excessive UV-exposure and promote skin health by reducing tyrosine generation. Clinically, GSPE could be potentially utilized for improving skin health against excessive UV exposure.
