Background Melanogenesis is a complex process which is tightly regulated by several enzymes. However, abnormal melanogenesis can cause severe dermatological problems. Roots of Angelica dahurica have been used for skin care as a part of traditional Chinese medicine for many generations. However, the role of A. dahurica in melanogenesis remains unclear. Objective Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that NK-1R exerts positive effects in melanogenesis via the Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway. In this study, we investigated the effects of A. dahurica ethanol extract (ADE) on NK-1R and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and evaluated the effect of NK-1R on melanogenesis in B16F0 cells. Results Angelica dahurica ethanol extract efficiently downregulated Neurokinin-1 receptor and Wnt/β-catenin signaling by decreasing the expression of β-catenin, MITF, LEF-1, TYR, TRP1, and TRP2 and increasing the expression of GSK3β, which resulted from the weakened expression of the Neurokinin-1 receptor inhibitor [Sar9,Met(O2 )11]-Substance P (SMSP). Furthermore, the intracellular melanin assay and cellular tyrosinase activity confirmed these findings. Conclusion This study suggests that ADE has potential to downregulate Neurokinin-1 receptor in SMSP-induced B16F0 cells, thereby repressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and reduces melanin production.
3D Scaffold with PCL Combined Biomedical Ceramic Materials for Bone Tissue Regeneration

Three-dimensional porous biodegradable polymer scaffolds have been widely used for tissue engineering of bone repair or regeneration. The primary function of scaffolds is to provide structure support for the cells adhesion and proliferation. This study selects the Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) as material, NaCl mixed with hydroxyapatite (HA) or nano-aluminum oxide (nAl2O3) for porous scaffold. This study uses the solvent casting/particulate leaching method to fabricate the porous scaffold. The authors discuss the compression mechanical properties, physical properties (porosity, moisture content, contact angle) of a pure PCL, PCL/mHA,PCL/nHA and PCL/nAl2O3 scaffolds. In vitro cell culture is used for osteoblast cell (MG63) and the microculture tetrazolium test (MTT) is undertaken in the scaffold. The scaffolds are implanted to the femur of rats and histological examination is attempted after 2 weeks. The experimental results indicate that HA and nAl2O3 can improve the hydrophilic property. In conclusion, the PCL/nHA scaffold exhibits splendid in vivo biocompatibility and osteogenesis.
