Lizards are the evolutionarily closest animals to humans among the self-renewable species. Recent reports show that lizard tail extracts (LTE) inhibit the proliferation and angiogenesis of cancer cells but do not show any toxicity against human fibroblast cells. Nevertheless, few scientific studies investigated the effects of LTE on the treatment of skin diseases, especially oxidative stress aging. Therefore, we explored the effect of LTE on the anti-aging activity of human fibroblasts. We confirmed the anti-aging effect of LTE by SA-β-galactosidase staining. In addition, the hydrogen peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) were decreased by the LTE, as measured by staining with the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate reagent. We performed Western blot analysis to examine the signaling pathways. In conclusion, the LTE can prevent cellular senescence through the suppression of ROS and the downregulation of p21.
