Abstract
Oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species is the main cause of skin ageing. Cordycepin, a bioactive compound of Cordyceps militaris, contains antioxidant activity. This study examined extracellular matrix, antioxidant effect, autophagy activity, and skin regeneration in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) under normal and oxidative stress conditions. Slow disintegration was used to create nano-encapsulated cordyceps extract. HDFs were cultured and treated with 1 M cordycepin, 1 M medium, 0.1 M cordyceps medium loaded nanoparticles (CMP), or 1 mM H2O2. HDFs' senescent phenotypes were assessed, including cell proliferation, ROS scavenging, collagen and elastin synthesis, antioxidant activity, and wound healing. CMP size averaged 184.5 ± 95.2 nm increased cell proliferation and reduced H2O2-induced ROS. Thus, HDFs treated for 48 h increased skin regeneration activity 2.76-fold by expressing extracellular matrix and rescuing H2O2-induced damaged cells. It was significant that this CMP inhibited H2O2-induced oxidative stress and induced autophagy to regenerate HDFs. The developed CMP could be used in cosmetics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
