Long-term intake of sulforaphene alleviates D-galactose-induced skin senescence by activating AMPK-Sirt 1 pathway

Mol Cell Biochem. 2024 Mar 5. doi: 10.1007/s11010-024-04965-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTD-Galactose (D-gal) accumulation triggers the generation of oxygen free radicals, resulting in skin aging. Sulforaphene (SFE), an isothiocyanate compound derived from radish seeds, possesses diverse biological activities, including protective effects against inflammation and oxidative damage. This investigation delves into the antioxidant impact of SFE on age-related skin injury. In vivo experiments demonstrate that SFE treatment significantly improves the macro- and micro-morphology of dorsal skin. It effectively diminishes the elevation of oxidative stress biomarkers in mice skin tissue treated with D-gal, concurrently enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, SFE mitigates collagen mRNA degradation, lowers pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and downregulates MAPK-related protein expression in the skin. Moreover, SFE supplementation reduces lipid metabolite levels and elevates amino acid metabolites, such as L-cysteine and L-histidine. These findings suggest that SFE holds promise as a natural remedy to mitigate aging induced by oxidative stress.PMID:38441777 | DOI:10.1007/s11010-024-04965-7
