摘要：Coenzyme Q
10 (CoQ
10) is a well-known antioxidant and serves as an essential carrier for electron transport and proton translocation in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. CoQ
10 has been widely commercially available in Japan as a dietary and health supplement since 2001 and it is used for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases induced by aging. Recently, it was stated that for Japan, which is facing an aging society, CoQ
10 has been used in many skincare products. However, the physiological actions of CoQ
10 in skin fibroblasts are not fully understood. In this study, we examined the effect of CoQ
10 on cultured human skin fibroblast. In this study, CoQ
10 treatment increased intracellular CoQ
10 level and promoted proliferation of fibroblasts. In addition, CoQ
10 increased mRNA expression of type I, IV, VII collagen, elastin, and HSP47, whereas CoQ
10 has little effect on mRNA of type II and VIII MMP. These results suggested that CoQ
10 has the efficacy that it increases collagen production in skin, thereby there is possible of the anti-aging by CoQ
10 in Japan which reached an aging society, so that it might be based on new physiological function by CoQ
10.
