Many phytochemical substances in soy bean were known for effect on anti-cancer, anti-oxidative, anti-aging. Also, extracts from medicinal herbs, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer, Cnidium officinale, Saururus chinensis, Houttuynia cordata have various effects against oxidation and inflammation. To measure expression of genes related to aging, we isolated total RNAs from HEK001 skin cell line treated with LES (Lunasin Enriched Source) and medicinal plant extracts and analyzed a comprehensive gene expression profile of each treated cell. Fifteen genes related aging were selected and confirmed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR analyses. Fifteen genes tested showed higher or lower expression within 2-200 folds in cell line treated with LES and medicinal plant extracts than untreated ones. Also multiplex PCR data shown that we can analysis the effect of medicinal plant. These results imply that these gene profiling can be used to determination of a medicinal materials against aging in skin. Also LES and extract of Cnidium officinale have a role in down regulation of genes related aging, thereby being able to use in products of skin care.
