Oleocanthal (OL) and Oleacein (OC) are enriched components in Olive (oil and leaves). However, their effects on skin have not been widely studied compared to Oleuropein (OP). Here, we perfomed global gene expression profiling to screen the potential effects of OL and OC on the skin. Results showed that OL and OC have effects on skin development and keratinocyte differentiation by upregulation of key markers. Furthermore, OL and OC were effectively downregulated several melanogenic genes and it suggests that OL and OC can have a potential effect for pigmentation. B16F10 were murine melanoma cells line, treated with 5 µM of OL and OC for 24 hours. Microarray gene expression profiling was conducted technical replicates. Overall design: RNA was extracted using Isogen (Nippon Gene Co. Ltd., Toyama, Japan). The integrity of RNA was quantified using NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA). RNA samples were prepared for gene expression profiling analysis with GeneChip® 3' Expression Arrays using 3' IVT PLUS Reagent Kit (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). Two hundred and fifty ng of total RNA from each sample was used to generate amplified and biotinylated complementary RNA (cRNA) from poly (A) RNA in a total RNA sample according to the user manual. IVT Incubation time was 16 hour. GeneAtlas® Hybridization, Wash and Stain Kit was used for hybridizing 3' IVT Array Strips according to the user manual (P/N 08-0306). The mouse genome array strips were hybridized for 16 hours in a 45oC incubator, washed and stained and finally imaging was done with the GeneAtlas Fluidics and Imaging Station. Less...
