Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of exosome loading technology, and specifically to an exosome efficacy complex and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The trend of population aging has led to a substantial increase in the demand for anti-aging products. Human skin is subject to the combined effects of endogenous and exogenous aging. Studies have shown that human skin begins to age at the age of 20, gradually producing wrinkles, dull complexion, spots, sagging, etc. Therefore, anti-aging cosmetics for the skin have always been a focus of concern for many people.

[0003] There are many raw materials for cosmetics, most of which are safe, stable, and easy to absorb. However, some bioactive substances are still difficult to apply due to stability reasons. For high molecular weight substances, transdermal absorption has always been a pain point in the industry due to the presence of the skin's stratum corneum. Medical beauty usually uses injections or rolling needles to break the skin and deliver effective substances into the skin to produce direct and rapid effects, but this type of method needs to be performed under the operation of professional medical beauty institutions and professional medical staff, and cannot be used at home or in other scenarios like ordinary cosmetics. High-pressure perfusion (needle-free injection) is a new method of drug administration, but it has a large impact and is difficult to achieve in delicate and sensitive areas such as the face and around the eyes. At the same time, it is expensive and not suitable for the field of daily consumer goods.

[0004] Soluble microneedles are a new method of treating or anti-aging by making active ingredients into micron-sized patches and applying them directly to the skin. For example, a Chinese patent application (authorization publication number CN114558242B) discloses a soluble microneedle and a method for manufacturing the same. The soluble microneedles are prepared by a vacuum process based on a viscous polymer solution. The microneedles are mainly used in the preparation of soluble microneedles containing small molecules, peptides, and protein substances, but the addition of higher biologically active substances still has certain limitations.

[0005] Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane vesicles with a phospholipid bilayer structure and nanometer to micrometer size that are actively secreted by cells, including exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, etc. Among them, exosomes are the most widely studied and applied. Exosomes can carry a variety of important information such as proteins, lipids, DNA and RNA. Exosomes can realize the transport of substances and information transmission between cells. They have the potential to be used as nanoscale drug delivery carriers. Moreover, they are derived from natural substances such as cells, and have unique advantages in improving drug efficacy and reducing side effects. For example, clinical trials NCT05191381 and NCT05216562 have proved that EVs from mesenchymal stem cells and dendritic cells have lower immunogenicity. At present, plant-derived exosomes are more suitable for the application of oral products. For the enhanced delivery of transdermal absorption, more matching exosome raw materials are needed.

[0070] 1.1 Preparation of alpaca exosomes:

[0071] (1) When the alpaca gave birth, the umbilical cord was obtained, and after washing the umbilical cord with PBS, the umbilical cord blood vessels were removed. The remaining umbilical cord was cut into 1 mm pieces and transported to a culture plate containing low glucose, Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM, Bioiea) containing 10wt% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco BRL Co., USA) and 1wt% penicillin and streptomycin. The plate was kept at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. After three days, the culture medium was replaced and large pieces of tissue were removed. Adherent cells were separated with 0.1% trypsin (Gibco BRL Co.USA) and cultured for expansion. The characteristics of alpaca umbilical cord stem cells were detected by flow cytometry, and cells with only three to seven generations were used for further expansion experiments.

[0072] (2) When the expanded alpaca umbilical cord stem cells reached 75% confluence, they were washed twice with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and then cultured in serum-free low-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (LG-DMEM) for 48 hours. The culture medium was collected and centrifuged at 1000×g for 20 minutes to remove cell debris, and then centrifuged at 2000×g for 20 minutes and 10000×g for 20 minutes. The supernatant was collected and filtered using a 0.22 μm pore filter (Millipore, USA). The stock solution (original sample) containing exosomes after filtration will be used for further purification.

[0073] (3) The original sample collected above was applied to a HiScale 16 / 20 column (Cytiva) filled with 20 mL Capto Core 700 (Cytiva). PBS (pH = 7.4) was used to complete the sample application, and the flow rate was set to 400 cm / h. The purified alpaca exosomes were eluted from the column during the washing of the purification column with NaOH and 30% isopropanol.

[0074] The alpaca exosomes were detected by NTA equipment with a diameter range of 40-200 nm, and the number of exosomes after liquid chromatography purification was 5.5×10 10 particles / mL, and scanning electron microscopy images showed that the exosomes were round in shape and evenly distributed ( Figure 1 ).

After purification, (1-3) × 10 12 Exosome particles and (1-3) mg of nucleic acid are mixed in 20 mL of electroporation buffer, and RNase inhibitors are added to prevent the degradation of nucleic acid. The mixed solution is placed in the LV unit closed electroporation system, and electroporation up to 20 ml can be performed. The electroporation element is connected to 2 liquid storage bags (inlet and outlet) and a peristaltic pump, and 1 ml of the above-mentioned mixed solution is injected into the kit per unit time. During the whole process, the outlet bag is kept on ice, and the process lasts for 10 minutes. The physicochemical properties of exosomes are analyzed by NanoSight, and the buffer is replaced. The composition of the preservation solution is adjusted to contain 50 mM trehalose and 5 wt% polyvinyl pyrrolidone 40 (PVP40), and then its endotoxin and sterility are tested, divided equally in freezing bottles, and stored at -80 ° C for future use.

[0106] 1. The soluble microneedles loaded with the exosome efficacy complex provided in Example 1 were used to improve wrinkles on the skin of aging mice. The experiment was divided into six groups. Except for the control group, the other groups used model mice that had been treated with photoaging. The treatment method was that all mice (SPF male KM mice, 45 days old, with a body weight of 22-25g) used 4% sodium sulfide solution to remove the surface hair on the back, exposing skin of about 4cmx4cm in size, and depilating once every 5 days. The model group was subcutaneously injected with 5% D-galactose 10mg / kg in the back of the neck every day, and the UVB lamp was placed 40cm vertically above the mouse, with a radiation dose of 120mJ / cm each time. 2 , lasting 40 days.

[0107] Experimental groups: (1) normal mouse group without photoaging treatment, (2) normal saline group, (3) exosome group loaded with collagen mRNA delivered by soluble microneedles, (4) collagen solution (20% concentration), (5) exosomes loaded with collagen mRNA, and (6) exosome group.

[0108] The single dose of exosomes in mice was 2×10 10 The soluble microneedle patch was pressed into the back skin of the mouse for 1 hour until the microneedles were completely dissolved and there was no visible irritation on the skin at the patch site. The mice were treated with the microneedle patch twice in the first week and once in the second and third weeks, and the observation was carried out for a total of 28 days. The results showed that the delivery of collagen mRNA exosomes by soluble microneedles can significantly reduce the area and number of wrinkles and restore them to baseline levels (see Figure 2 ), and was significantly better than collagen solution and exosomes loaded with collagen mRNA.

[0109] 2. The soluble microneedles loaded with the exosome efficacy complex provided in Example 2 were subjected to in vitro cell experiments. PD-1 & CTLA-4 bispecific nanoantibody mRNA exosome soluble microneedles were added to the dendritic cell (DC cell) culture wells, and the ELISA method was used to detect the amount of nanoantibody secretion in the cell culture supernatant.

[0110] Branghans cells (DC cells) are found in the epidermis, and DC cells play an important role in anti-infection and immunity. In animal experiments and human experiments, the efficacy substances can be delivered into skin immune cells through soluble microneedles. This embodiment adopts an in vitro cell experimental method to co-culture the soluble microneedles of the exosome efficacy complex with dendritic cells to detect the function of the efficacy complex. The specific experimental process is as follows: 50 ml of human mononuclear cells (PBMC) are collected and separated by machine, and serum-free AIM V medium is added to the separated PBMC, transferred to a culture bottle and adhered to the wall for 2h or overnight at 37°C, and then the suspended cells and adhered cells are separated. The adhered cells are induced to differentiate into DC cells, suspended and divided into 24-well plates for culture, and the exosome efficacy complex is added after re-adherence, and the antibody secretion amount is detected by ELISA after 24 hours and 48 hours respectively.

[0111] Results Figure 3 In vitro cell experiments showed that soluble microneedles acted on DC cells, and DC secreted high levels of PD-1 & CTLA-4 bispecific antibodies, with the antibody secretion reaching 340ng / mL in 24 hours. The skin is composed of multiple cell types such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Soluble microneedles can be used to deliver nano-antibody mRNA exosomes, and can produce nano-antibody secretion, which plays an important role in the removal of senescent cells.
