    Abstract:

    Objective:To investigate whether pyrroloquinoline quinone(PQQ) plays a treatment role in premature aging of skin in Bmi1-/- mice by inhibiting oxidative stress. Methods:We paired with littermates Bmi-1+/- between male and female mice,and selected the mice at the age of 7 weeks:wild type mice and normal diet (10 mice),Bmi1-/- mice and normal diet (10 mice),Bmi1-/- mice and add PQQ diet (10 mice). HE staining,histochemistry,immunohistochemistry,and flow cytometry were peformed. Results:Compared with BKO mice,PQQ partially rescued total body phenotype,made hair of skin smooth,increased body weight and prolonged survival time. Compared skin thickness of PQQ+BKO mice [(142.65±0.25)μm] to BKO mice [(78.45±0.35)μm],the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The percentage of total collagen positive area of skin in the PQQ+BKO group [(25.64±0.28)%] was significantly different from that in the BKO group [(14.87±0.47)%,P<0.01]. The percentage of skin PCNA positive cells in the PQQ+BKO group [(18.54±0.37)%] was significantly different from that in the BKO group [(5.85±0.64)%,P<0.01]. The positive area of skin fibrosis in the PQQ+BKO group [(48.64±0.28)%] was significantly different from that in the BKO group [(87.64±0.46)%,P<0.01]. Compared with BKO mice (427.80±0.63),the levels of ROS in the skin of the PQQ+BKO group (298.17±0.25) were significantly decreased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusion:The results of these studies indicated that PQQ played a role in protecting premature aging of skin induced by Bmi-1 defection through multiple aspects,such as promoting skin cell proliferation,reducing skin tissue fibrosis,scavenging ROS levels of oxygen free radical.
