The present invention provides an agent for preventing and alleviating wrinkles which has excellent effects of preventing and alleviating wrinkles formed by decreased barrier function of the skin owing to aging or photo aging, that is graphic wrinkles or linear wrinkles. The agent for preventing and alleviating wrinkles consisting of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of gamma-aminobutyric acid derivatives represented by the following formula (1) or N,N,N-trimethyl gamma-aminobutyric acid represented by the following formula (3) and salts thereof: wherein R1 and R2 independently represent any of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a benzyloxycarbonyl group, a cyclohexyl group, a cyclohexanemethyl group, a cyclohexanecarbonyl group, a guanidino group formed with nitrogen atom in the formula (1), an ureido group formed with nitrogen atom in the formula (1), and a group represented by following formula (2). Additionally, R1 and R2 may jointly form a piperidine ring, morpholine ring, or pyrrolidine ring. Both of R1 and R2 are not simultaneously a hydrogen atom.

The present invention provides a method for evaluating the degree of skin sensitivity by using the expression of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) in skin corneocytes as an indicator thereof.
摘要:
In a first aspect thereof, the present invention provides a method for treatment and/or prevention of a disease selected from the group consisting of psoriasis and squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting the expression of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) by cells. In another aspect thereof, the present invention provides a method for screening for substances that inhibit epidermal parakeratosis, wherein the activity of a candidate substance that inhibits cysteine protease inhibitory activity possessed by squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1 (SCCA-1) is used as an indicator.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method for enhancing resistance to the onset of skin damage caused by irradiation of the skin with ultraviolet light by inhibiting ultraviolet irradiation-induced apoptosis of epidermal cells as a result of increasing expression of SCCA-1 and/or SCCA-2 in epidermal cells. Moreover, the present invention provides a skin testing method for evaluating resistance of the skin to skin damage caused by ultraviolet irradiation by measuring the expression of SCCA-1 and/or SCCA-2 in epidermal cells, and judging UV resistance of the epidermis to be weak in the case expression is decreased as compared with expression in epidermal cells. Moreover, the present invention provides a method for screening drugs which enhance resistance of the skin to skin damage by ultraviolet irradiation by selecting a drug that increases expression of SCCA-1 and/or SCCA-2 as a UV resistance enhancer.
