It has been reported in recent years that the carbonyl modification of protein plays a part in various diseases. The existence of the protein carbonylation in the stratum corneum also came to be known in the last few years, but the effect on the properties of the stratum corneum including the skin appearance was not clarified. In this study, we examined the influence of protein carbonylation in the stratum corneum to provide helpful information for skin care products focusing on transparency of the stratum corneum. Firstly, we developed a method to assess the protein carbonylation level numerically by the image analysis of tape-stripped stratum corneum reacted with a fluorescent hydrazide. The level of stratum corneum carbonylation of the sun-exposed site (face) was higher than that of unexposed site (upper arm), and the surface part of the stratum corneum showed a higher level of carbonylation compared with the deeper layer. Stratum corneum carbonylation was induced by in vitro UV irradiation. In addition, it was shown that the skin transparency score was significantly low in the woman with high level of protein carbonylation in the stratum corneum of the cheek. An experimentally carbonylated stratum corneum sheet in vitro became opaque. Among the amino acids investigated, L-lysine was the most effective to prevent carbonylation of the stratum corneum ex vivo. Moreover, L-lysine inhibited the decrease in the skin transparency caused by experimental carbonylation of the stratum corneum in the human skin. These results suggest that preventing the carbonylation of the stratum corneum due to adverse effects from the environment by L-lysine could improve the skin transparency.
