Antiphotoaging Effects of 3,5-Dicaffeoyl-epi-quinic Acid via Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinases in UVB-Irradiated Human Keratinocytes

Figure 2

Images and viability of HaCaT cells irradiated by different doses (0–100 mJ/cm2) of UVB radiation and incubated for 12, 24, and 48 h (a). Relative cell proliferation of HaCaT cells treated with DCEQA (1, 5, 10 μM) after UVB (15 mJ/cm2) irradiation and incubated for 24 h (b). Viability of the cells after UVB irradiation and treatment with DCEQA was investigated by MTT assay and given as the percentage of nonirradiated or untreated (0 μM) control cells. a-dMeans with different letters are significantly different at level.
