• Inhibitory effects of SR on UVB or H2O2-induced Ca2+ and ROS generation.
• Inhibitory effects of SRE on H2O2-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
• Inhibitory effects of SRE on H2O2-induced caspase-3 activity.
• Protective effects of SRE on H2O2-induced ROS elimination-related proteins.
• SR protects dermal fibroblasts on UVB-induced skin aging via antioxidant effects.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight causes distinct changes in collagenous skin tissues as a result of the breakdown of collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix. UV irradiation downregulates reactive oxygen species (ROS)-elimination pathways, thereby promoting the production of ROS, which are implicated in skin aging. Smilax glabra Roxb (sarsaparilla) has been used in folk medicine because of its many effects. However, no study on the protective effects of sarsaparilla root (SR) on human dermal fibroblasts has been reported previously. Here, we investigated the protective effect of SR against oxidative stress in dermal fibroblasts. SR significantly inhibited oxidative damage and skin-aging factor via mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Also, SR decreased Ca2+ and ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential, dysfunction, and increased glutathione, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase and heme oxygenase-1. These results demonstrate that SR can protect dermal fibroblasts against UVB-induced skin aging via antioxidant effects.
