ABSTRACT Effect of Panax ginseng Extract on Human Dermal Fibroblast Proliferation and Collagen Synthesis Jinying LI Major in Plastic Surgery, Department of Medical science, Graduate School of Korea University, Seoul, Korea (Director: Professor Seung Kyu Han, M.D., Ph.D.) Purpose: Panax ginseng (or Korean ginseng) has been used traditionally for a wide range of preventative and therapeutic purposes, including increasing energy, vitality, and for anti-aging. Current studies have demonstrated that P. ginseng has various biological activities, including angiogenesis, immuno-stimulation, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory actions. Therefore, we hypothesized that P. ginseng may also play an important role in wound healing. However, few studies have been conducted on the wound healing effects of P. ginseng. Thus, the purpose of this in vitro pilot study was to determine the effect of P. ginseng on activities of fibroblasts, which are key wound-healing cells. Methods: Cultured human dermal fibroblasts were treated with one of six concentrations of P. ginseng: 0, 1, 10, and 100 ng/ml and 1 and 10 µg/ml. Cell proliferation was determined 3 days post-treatment using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, and collagen synthesis was evaluated by the collagen type I carboxy-terminal propeptide method. Cell proliferation levels and collagen synthesis were compared among the groups. Results: The 10 ng/ml to 1 µg/ml P. ginseng treatments significantly increased cell proliferation, and the 1 ng/ml to 1 µg/ml concentrations significantly increased collagen synthesis. The maximum effects for both parameters were observed at 10 ng/ml. Conclusion: P. ginseng stimulated human dermal fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis at an optimal concentration of 10 ng/ml.
