Abstract

Sulfuretin is one of the main flavonoids produced by Rhusverniciflua. Sulfuretin has been shown to exhibit many pharmacological activities including anti-oxidant, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic activities. However, the anti-skin photoaging effects of sulfuretin has not yet been reported. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of sulfuretin on the expression levels of MMP-1 and -3 in the human dermal fibroblast cells. Western blot analysis and real-time PCR revealed sulfuretin inhibited UVB-induced MMP-1 and -3 expressions in a dose-dependent manner. UVB-induced MAPK/NF-${\kappa}B$/p50 activation and MMP expression were completely blocked by pretreatment of sulfuretin. Taken together, sulfuretin could prevent UVB-induced MMP expressions through inhibition of MAPK/NF-${\kappa}B$/p50 activation.
