Inhibitors of micro-RNAs for use for preventing and/or attenuating skin ageing and/or for hydrating skin

摘要

The invention relates to the identification and the use of compounds which inhibit the expression or activity of micro-RNAs for preventing and/or attenuating ageing, and/or for hydrating skin.;The invention thus relates to an in vitro method for screening for candidate compounds for preventing and/or attenuating ageing of the skin, and/or for hydrating the skin, comprising the following steps:a. bringing at least one test compound in contact with a sample of keratinocytes ;b. measuring the expression or the activity of at least one microRNA in said keratinocytes;c. selecting the compounds for which an inhibition of at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, preferably at least 40 % of the expression or an inhibition of at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, preferably at least 40 % of the activity of at least one microRNA is measured in the keratinocytes treated in a. compared with the untreated keratinocytes.
