Synergistic effect of maclurin on ginsenoside compound K induced inhibition of the transcriptional expression of MMP-1 in HaCaT human keratinocyte cells

The synergistic effect of maclurin on CK-induced inhibition of the transcriptional expression of MMP-1 was investigated in HaCaT human keratinocyte cells. Maclurin suppresses transcriptional expression of MMP-1 via inhibition of ERK/Ets-1 signaling. The combination of CK and maclurin may be promising way to be used as an anti-skin aging agent.
