Continuous exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation leads to a variety of skin damage, such as sunburn, pigmentation, premature ageing, and photocarcinogenesis. Various phytochemical extracts have been identified to efficiently protect sun exposed skin from UV induced photodamage. A Ficus deltoidea (Mas cotek) water extract has been widely used for women's health in Malaysia. In a previous study from this lab, the F. deltoidea extract exhibited strong anti-melanogenic effects towards cultured B16F1 melanoma cells. Additional studies were intended to evaluate the effects of the F. deltoidea extract on antiphotoageing activity using cultured human dermal fibroblasts and immortalised human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Both TNF-alpha and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) play primary roles in the inflammation process upon UV irradiation and are known to be stimulated by UVB irradiation. Treatment with the F. deltoidea extract dramatically inhibited the UVinduced TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, IL-6, and COX-2 expression. The decreased collagen synthesis of fibroblasts as a result of UVB exposure was restored to a normal level after treatment with the F. deltoidea extract. In addition, the enhanced MMP-1 expression upon UVB irradiation was downregulated by the F. deltoidea extract in a dose-dependent manner. The overall findings indicate that the F. deltoidea extract may exert a protective effect against UVB-induced damage in the skin that is useful for anti-photoageing cosmetic products.
