This study aimed to determine the effect of topically appliedLaminariapolysaccharide (LP) on skin aging. We applied ointment containing LP (10, 25, and 50 μg/g) or vitamin E (10 μg/g) to the dorsal skin of aging mice for 12 months and young control mice for 4 weeks. Electron microscopy analysis of skin samples revealed that LP increased dermal thickness and skin collagen content. Tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease- (TIMP-) 1 expression was upregulated while that of matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 1 was downregulated in skin tissue of LP-treated as compared to untreated aging mice. Additionally, phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 was higher in aging skin than in young skin, while LP treatment suppressed phospho-JNK expression. LP application also enhanced the expression of antioxidative enzymes in skin tissue, causing a decrease in malondialdehyde levels and increases in superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase levels relative to those in untreated aging mice. These results indicate that LP inhibits MMP-1 expression by preventing oxidative stress and JNK phosphorylation, thereby delaying skin collagen breakdown during aging.

Skin aging is a complex process influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Together, these factors affect the structure and function of the epidermis and dermis. Histologically, aging skin typically shows epidermal atrophy due to decreased cell numbers. The dermis of aged skin shows decreased numbers of mast cells and fibroblasts. Fibroblast senescence contributes to skin aging by secreting a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which decreases proliferation by impairing the release of essential growth factors and enhancing degradation of the extracellular matrix through activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Several molecular mechanisms affect skin aging including telomere shortening, oxidative stress and MMP, cytokines, autophagic control, microRNAs, and the microbiome. Accumulating evidence on the molecular mechanisms of skin aging has provided clinicians with a wide range of therapeutic targets for treating aging skin.

Seiring dengan meningkatnya populasi geriatri di Indonesia, masalah penuaan kulit juga turut meningkat. Pada populasi tersebut terjadi berbagai perubahan kulit sehingga kelainan yang ditimbulkan juga berbeda. Stres oksidatif merupakan mekanisme yang diduga kuat sebagai penyebab utama penuaan kulit. Penuaan kulit merupakan proses kompleks yang melibatkan faktor intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Faktor intrinsik yang berperan adalah genetik, metabolisme sel, dan perubahan hormonal. Selain itu, terdapat faktor ekstrinsik seperti radiasi ultraviolet, inframerah, dan karsinogen lingkungan yang turut berperan pada penuaan kulit. Kedua faktor tersebut menyebabkan perubahan di seluruh lapisan kulit. Untuk mengatasi penuaan kulit, kini telah tersedia berbagai modalitas terapi, namun untuk menentukan terapi yang paling sesuai perlu diketahui fisiologi kulit menua, mekanisme penuaan kulit, dan manifestasi kelainan klinis kulit menua. Secara fisiologi terjadi perubahan permeabilitas, biokimia, vaskularisasi, termoregulasi, respons terhadap iritan, respons imunitas, kapasitas regenerasi, respons terhadap cedera, persepsi neurosensori dan pada tingkat genom. Jumlah sel epidermal dan laju pergantian epidermal menurun sedangkan di adneksa terjadi penurunan jumlah kelenjar sebasea yang mengakibatkan kulit kering dan mudah pecah. Penurunan jumlah melanosit menyebabkan warna rambut menjadi abu-abu keputihan dan muncul pigmentasi atipik di kulit. Folikel rambut kurang aktif sehingga meningkatkan kerontokan dan kebotakan. Di lapisan basal ukuran sel berkurang dan rerata ukuran sel bertambah. Sel keratinosit menjadi lebih pendek dan besar di kulit yang menua. Kata kunci: geriatri, mekanisme penuaan kulit, patofisiologi.   Skin Aging Mechanism as A Basic Prevention and Treatment of Skin Aging Abstract Growing geriatric population generates a rise of aging issues. Process of aging develops multiple skin changes that further emerge other related skin problems. Oxidative stress is believed playing vital role related to aging. The aging process in the skin is complex and influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors can be in the form of genetics, cell metabolism, and hormonal changes. Meanwhile, for extrinsic factors, such as exposure to ultraviolet, infrared, and carcinogenic agent also have crucial part in aging process. These factors contribute to all layers of the skin. Nowadays, many treatment modalities available to reverse skin aging, however, better understanding on skin aging mechanism, the pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of aging skin is important to choose the appropriate treatment for patients. In aging, there are physiological changes in permeability, biochemical structures, vascularisation, thermoregulation, irritative response, immunity response, regenerative capability, inflammatory response, neurosensory perception and in genom level. The number of epidermal cells and epidermal overturn rate decline while there is also reduction of sebaseous glands at adnexa which both are accounted for skin xerosis. Decreasing melanocytes can caused gray hair and atypical pigmentation. Hair follicles also show less activity resulting in hair loss. Basal layer cells are downsizing and rise of average cells size are occured. Keratinocyte becomes shorter and bigger in aging skin. Keywords: geriatric, mechanism, skin aging, pathophysiology.

Abstract Background The senescence of dermal fibroblasts (DFLs) leads to an imbalance in the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, presenting so-called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which ultimately leads to skin aging. Recently, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as a promising cell-free therapy for degenerative diseases, which opens a new avenue for skin aging treatment. Methods In this study, we utilized chitosan (CS) hydrogel for effective loading and sustained release of EVs. In vitro, we explored the rejuvenation effects of CS hydrogel-incorporated EVs (CS-EVs) on replicative senescence DFLs through a series of experiments such as senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis. Besides, we employed local multi-site subcutaneous injection to treat skin aging of naturally aged mice with CS-EVs and DiI fluorescent dye was used to label EVs to achieve in vivo real-time tracking. Results CS-EVs can significantly improve the biological functions of senescent fibroblasts, including promoting their proliferation, enhancing the synthesis of ECM proteins, and inhibiting the overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Moreover, CS hydrogel could prolong the release of EVs and significantly increase the retention of EVs in vivo. After CS-EVs subcutaneous injection treatment, the aging skin tissues showed a rejuvenation state, manifested explicitly as the enhanced expression of collagen, the decreased expression of SASP-related factors, and the restoration of tissue structures. Conclusions CS hydrogel-encapsulated EVs could delay the skin aging processes by ameliorating the function of aging DFLs. Our results also highlight the potential of CS hydrogel-encapsulated EVs as a novel therapeutic strategy for improving aging skin to rejuvenation.
