Effects of MEL-B treatment on UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. (A) HaCaT cells were irradiated with UVB (40 mJ/cm2) then treated with MEL-B (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 μg/mL) followed by 24-h culture. Relative expression levels of LOR, FLG, and TGM1 were decreased by UVB radiation. (B) Relative expression levels of LOR were increased after MEL-B incubation in dose dependent. (C) Upregulation of MEL-B treatment on expression levels of FLG protein. (D) Dose-dependent MEL-B effect on upregulation of TGM1 protein expression in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. GAPDH antibody was used as loading control. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 3). ## p < 0.01 vs. the control group (Ctrl); * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. the UVB-irradiated (model) group.
