Abstract:
A kit for predicting chloasma is provided to predict rapidly and sensitively potentialities of forming chloasma from skin by 23 kinds of genes highly revealed and 5 kinds of genes lowly revealed near the chloasma region. A kit for predicting chloasma comprises one or more monoclonal antibodies having the amino acid sequence coded by a gene selected from a group consisting of PCOLCE2, GFPT2, CCL21, WIF1 and H19 as a variable region. If an amount of the antigen combined in the antibody is less than a normal value, it is diagnose as the skin in which the chloasma is easily formed.

A method for screening a material for preventing or treating leukoplakia is provided to screen a prophylactic or a therapeutic agent of the leukoplakia in a high-throughput manner. A method for screening a material for preventing or treating leukoplakia comprises the steps of: (a) isolating epidermal cells of the leukoplakia and culturing them; (b) contacting candidate materials for preventing or treating the leukoplakia with the cultured epidermal cells; (c) measuring phosphorylation of I-kappaB, NF-kappaB, Akt or IKK from the candidate materials-contacted cells; and (d) selecting the candidate materials increasing the phosphorylation of I-kappaB, NF-kappaB, Akt or IKK.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a kit for predicting chloasma. More specifically, in order to diagnose possibility of forming the chloasma by checking expression amount of genes which are differently expressed between chloasma tissues and normal skin tissues, a method and a kit for predicting chloasma comprise: one or more polynucleotides or complementary polynucleotides as probes which hybridize with polynucleotides of the sequence of the genes; a pair of polynucleotide primers of the sequence of the genes; or one or more monoclonal antibodies having amino acid sequences coded by the genes as a variable region. According to the present invention, the possibility of forming the chloasma on skin can be sensitively and rapidly diagnosed by using 23 kinds of highly expressed genes and 5 kinds of down regulated genes, which are specific to chloasma lesion area, as chloasma marker genes. [Reference numerals] (AA) Relative mRNA expression amount in melasma regions compare to normal region; (BB) Normal region

Abstract:
A Nelumbo nuficera extract having treatment effect on dermatitis is provided to promote melanogenesis, enhance tyrosinase activity and prevent and treat pigmentary disorder. A Nelumbo nuficera extract is isolated with n-hexane and have treatment effect on pigmentary disorder including vitiligo, white lentigo, depigmentation after inflammation, and photosensitive skin disorder. The Nelumbo nuficera is petals or stamens of Nelumbo nuficera. A Nelumbo nuficera extract essential oil is obtained by extracting and filtering the Nelumbo nuficera with n-hexane, evaporating at 40~60°C and removing hexane in vacuum. The essential oil comprises palmitic acid, linoleic acie, and their methyl ester. A therapeutic composition of pigmentary skin disorder comprises the essential oil of Nelumbo nuficera extract or palmitic acid methyl ester.
