Study on Bioactivity of Opuntia Ficus-Indica Fruit Extracts fermented Low Temperature by Anti pollutants

Air pollutants can trigger various disorders in humans and induce skin aging effects, related cell death, and inflammation. This study demonstrated the effects of low temperature-fermented Opuntia Ficus-Indica Fruit extracts (LTOE) treated total suspended particles (TSP). LTOE induced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-8 without cytotoxicity. To investigate the anti-aging effect, LTOE inhibited the production of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 (collagenase) more than Opuntia Ficus-Indica Fruit extracts (OE) in TSP-treated Normal human fibroblast cells. This study reports the significant improvement of anti-inflammation and decrease of MMP-1 related to the LTOE, which will be helpful in processing cosmetic ingredients.
