Objective:To research the effect of gypenosides-containing serum on the expression of proto-oncogene c-Fos and c-Jun in ultraviolet irradiated cells. Methods:Blank serum and gypenosides-containing serum were made. Human immortal skin keratinocytes (HaCaT) were divided into 4 groups(A-D),10 bottles in each group. Human skin fibroblast(HSF) were divided into 6 groups(Ⅰ-Ⅵ),10 bottles in each group. B,C,D groups of irradiated HaCaT and Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ groups of HSF underwent UVB and UVA radiation. Supernatant of 4 groups HaCaT was put into HSF Ⅲ-Ⅵ groups in turn. Six groups for measurement were made:blank control group(Ⅰgroup),UVA model group(Ⅱgroup),HaCaT supernatant A group(Ⅲ group),HaCaT supernatant B group(Ⅳ group),HaCaT supernatant C group(Ⅴgroup),HaCaT supernatant D group(Ⅵ group). Expression levels of c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein in each group were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results:c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in groupⅡ than in groupⅠ(all P =0.000). c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in group Ⅳ than in group Ⅱ(Pc-Fos mRNA=0.016,Pc-Fos protein=0.001,Pc-Jun mRNA=0.005,Pc-Jun protein=0.000). Changes in group Ⅲ were not significant. c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein expression was significantly lower in group Ⅵ than in group Ⅳ(all P =0.000). Changes in group Ⅴ were not significant(Pc-Fos mRNA=0.081,Pc-Fos protein=0.088,Pc-Jun mRNA=0.109,Pc-Jun protein=0.026). Conclusions:The UVB irradiated HaCaT cell secrete cytokine to increase c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein expression in UVA irradiated cell HSF. Gypenosides can inhibit c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein expression of UVA irradiated HSF cells which are affected by UVB irradiated HaCaT supernatant.
