Hydrogen-rich electrolyzed warm water represses wrinkle formation against UVA ray together with type-I collagen production and oxidative-stress diminishment in fibroblasts and cell-injury prevention in keratinocytes

Abstract
Hydrogen-rich electrolyzed warm water (HW) was prepared at 41 °C and exhibited dissolved hydrogen (DH) of 1.13 ppm and an oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) of −741 mV in contrast to below 0.01 ppm and +184 mV for regular warm water (RW). Fibroblasts OUMS-36 and keratinocytes HaCaT were used to examine effects of HW against UVA-ray irradiation. Type-I collagen was synthesized 1.85- to 2.03-fold more abundantly by HW application for 3–5 days than RW in OUMS-36 fibroblasts, and localized preferentially around the nuclei as shown by immunostain. HW application significantly prevented cell death and DNA damages such as nuclear condensation and fragmentation in UVA-irradiated HaCaT keratinocytes as estimated by WST-1 and Hoechst 33342 assays. HW significantly suppressed UVA-induced generation of intracellular superoxide anion radicals in both the cell lines according to NBT assay. Wrinkle repression was clinically assessed using a HW-bathing. Six Japanese subjects were enrolled in a trial of HW-bathing (DH, 0.2–0.4 ppm) every day for 3 months. HW-bathing significantly improved wrinkle in four subjects on the back of neck on 90th day as compared to 0 day. Thus, HW may serve as daily skin care to repress UVA-induced skin damages by ROS-scavenging and promotion of type-I collagen synthesis in dermis.
Highlights
► Hydrogen-rich electrolyzed warm water (HW) has antioxidant activity. ► UVA-derived intracellular reactive oxygen species are scavenged by HW. ► HW promotes the type-I collagen synthesis and suppresses cell death in vitro. ► HW-bathing may serve for daily skin care to repress UVA-induced skin damages.
