Resveratrol-Enriched Rice Attenuates UVB-ROS-Induced Skin Aging via Downregulation of Inflammatory Cascades

Figure 7

Apoptosis-induced skin aging and related protein expression in NHDF cells. NHDF cells were treated with or without UVB (144 mJ/cm2) and with NR, RR, and R for 72 h. Protein expression was measured using Western blot analysis. (a) p53, Bax, and Bcl2 protein expression from multiple experiments. (b, c, d) Bar graphs represent quantitative densitometric results of upper bands. (e) Cytosolic cytochrome C and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression from multiple experiments. (f, g) Bar graphs represent quantitative densitometric results of upper bands. Tubulin was used as a loading control. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. ##, ### versus the NC and , , versus the UVB-irradiated control. NC is normal control, Ctl is UVB control, NR is normal rice, RR is resveratrol-enriched rice, and R is resveratrol. NR and RR were treated in μg/mL, and R was treated in μM.
