Abstract

Abstract: Objective To establish a mouse model of skin photoaging induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, and to provide a reference for the study of skin photoaging. Methods Thirty male KM mice were divided into a control group and a model group. The control group received normal light, while the model group was subcutaneously injected with D-galactose combined with narrow-band UVB daily irradiation for 40 min at a dose of 120 mJ/cm2 for 40 d. The skin appearance of mice with fur on the back being removed was observed. Skin tissue pathology was observed after HE staining and Masson staining. Biochemical indexes of skin tissue homogenate including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), hydroxyproline (HYP), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by enzymatic analysis. The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), c-fos, and c-jun were determined by Western blotting. Results The skin of the model group was darker, looser, drier, more rough, and deeper than that of the control group. Pathological observation revealed that the epidermis thickened and the dermis fibers were reduced, broken, and disorderly arranged in the model group. In the model group, the activities of GSH-PX and SOD decreased, the content of MDA increased, the content of HYP decreased, and the expression levels of MMP-1, c-fos and c-jun of the model group increased (all P<0.01). Conclusion The skin damage of mice induced by subcutaneous injection of D-galactose combined with UVB irradiation is consistent with photoaging, so it is an effective mouse model of skin photoaging.
