Abstract

Skin and in particular photoaging or premature aging, are caused by a variety of factors, including hormone imbalance and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The aim of the present study was to explore the roles of dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) and related NF‑κB signals in skin photoaging. Cell models of photoaging were constructed by irradiating human skin fibroblast lines (HSF2) with ultraviolet B (UVB) of different doses (0, 15, 30 and 60 mj/cm2). The cell counting kit‑8 (CCK8) was used to determine cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to determine the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). A biochemical method was to determine the content of hydrogen peroxide, and the quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to determine the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), Col‑Ⅰ and α‑SMA in the cells. Enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the expression of tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) and interleukin‑6 (IL‑6). Western blot analysis was performed to determine the expression of DUOX2, p65 and p‑p65.The results showed that,UVB irradiation dose‑ and time‑dependently inhibited the proliferation of HSF2 cells. Cellular inflammatory response, ROS production and hydrogen peroxide increase was promoted. Col‑Ⅰ and α‑SMA were downregulated, MMP2 and MMP9 were upregulated, and the phosphorylation of NF‑κB p65 was promoted. The above indicators were all reversed by interference with DUOX2. Overexpression of DUOX2 has an effect that is similar to UVB irradiation, but the effects can be significantly weakened by NF‑κB inhibitor, NAC. Upregulation of DUOX2 expression plays a crucial role in UVB‑induced aging of HSF2 cells. The specific mechanism is related to the promotion of ROS production and cellular inflammatory response and activation of NF‑κB signals.
