Protective Effect and Mechanism of Paeonia suffruticosa Seed Ethanol Extract on Photoaging of HaCaT Cells Induced by UVB

Objective: To study the protective effect and mechanism of ethanol extract from Paeonia suffruticosa seed on photoaging of HaCaT cells induced by UVB. Method: The anti-photoaging active ingredients in the ethanol extract of Paeonia suffruticosa seed were analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), and the photoaging cell model was established by stimulating HaCaT cells with UVB. Cell viability was determined by the multiple table tournament (MTT) method. The effect of ethanol extract from Paeonia suffruticosa seed on cell migration was detected by cell scratch assay. The related cytokines affecting senescence such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-22 (IL-22), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and tansforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) experiment, and the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nuclear factor-κ-gene binding (NF-κB) were used as indicators to study th
