[0002] Skin photoaging refers to an accelerated skin aging phenomenon caused by oxidative stress, epigenetic modification and inflammatory response mechanisms after long-term exposure to ultraviolet UVA (320-400 nm) or UVB (280-320 nm) and other environmental light sources. Research data shows that the proportion of photoaging caused by environmental factors is more than 80%; among them, UVB radiation mainly affects the epidermis, and its pathogenic mechanism shows that it can not only directly damage DNA (such as forming cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers), but also can induce keratinocyte apoptosis by activating the p53 signaling pathway, and these pathological changes eventually lead to typical clinical manifestations such as skin erythema, abnormal pigmentation, epidermal thickening and aggravated inflammation. More notably, photoaging not only damages the appearance and barrier function of the skin, but also can induce psychological health problems such as anxiety and depression, thereby causing heavy medical and economic burden to individuals and society.

[0003] At present, the clinical prevention and treatment strategies of skin photoaging are mainly divided into two categories: prevention and treatment. Sunscreen products and nanomaterials are widely used in the prevention aspect, and the treatment methods include drug intervention such as retinoic acid external preparation or antioxidant substances, at the same time, innovative methods such as microneedle introduction, photodynamic therapy and exosome application also gradually show good efficacy; however, the actual protection effect and long-term safety of sunscreen products still need to be improved, retinoic acid external preparation is easy to cause skin adverse reactions, antioxidant substances have problems such as poor stability of effective components and low absorption rate, and the long-term efficacy and potential risks of innovative methods need to be further evaluated; therefore, it has very high practical value and broad application prospect to develop new preparations with high efficiency and better safety for preventing and treating skin photoaging.

After irradiation, fresh DMEM / F12 medium was added, and samples or vitamin C were added again according to the situation of each group. Cells were incubated with 10 μM DCFH-DA probe solution and 10 μg / mL Hoechst33242 solution at 37°C for 30 min. After washing with PBS, ROS generation was immediately detected by laser confocal microscopy (Olympus, Japan), and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was analyzed by ImageJ software.

[0026] 2. With 1.2×10 6 HaCaT cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of cells / well. After cell adhesion, the following groups were set up according to step 1 of this experimental example: Control group, UVB+PBS group, UVB+OA-AL14 group (concentration only 10 nM), UVB+Vc group (Vc concentration 10 μM), and UVB group (without PBS). After 2 hours of pretreatment, 9W / 01 / 2P, 30 mJ / cm 2 The cells were irradiated with UVB lamps for 24 hours (except for the Control group). After irradiation, fresh DMEM / F12 medium was added, and samples or vitamin C were added again according to the situation of each group. The cells were washed with PBS and lysed for 30-40 minutes with lysis buffer. Then, the SOD activity and MDA content in the cells were measured according to the kit instructions (Nanjing Jiancheng Biotechnology Institute).

[0027] 3、Western Blotting (WB) quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the expression of Nrf2 protein in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells after different group treatments; in this test example, step 2 used a 9W / 01 / 2P, 30mJ / cm 2 UVB lamp for 24h, then the cell protein was extracted and quantified, and then WB protein detection was performed; the obtained band was analyzed for protein band gray value using Image J software, and the data was statistically analyzed in GraphPad Prism software.

[0028] 4、Test results: 4-1、 Figure 4 A and B in the middle show that UVB irradiation significantly increased the ROS level in HaCaT cells, while the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10nM completely restored the ROS to normal levels, and its effect was better than that of Vc at a concentration of 10μM; 4-2、 Figure 4 C in the middle shows that the SOD activity in HaCaT cells was significantly reduced after UVB irradiation, while the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10nM could significantly up-regulate the SOD activity; 4-3、 Figure 4 D in the middle shows that UV radiation caused a significant increase in the accumulation of MDA, while the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10nM could effectively reduce the accumulation of MDA; 4-4、 Figure 4 E and F in the middle show the results of Western blot analysis, and the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10nM can significantly up-regulate the expression of the key antioxidant transcription factor Nrf2, indicating that the active polypeptide OA-AL14 can enhance the antioxidant enzyme activity and Nrf2 expression; The above results show that the active polypeptide OA-AL14 can effectively alleviate the oxidative stress response of HaCaT cells induced by UVB.

[0029] Test Example 5 Detection of Cell Level Aging Related Indicators by Active Polypeptide OA-AL14 1、3×10 5HaCaT cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a density of 1.5 x 104cells / well, and the Control group, UVB+PBS group, UVB+OA-AL14 group (only 10 nM concentration was set), UVB+Vc group (Vc concentration was 10 mM), and UVB group (without PBS) were set according to Step 1 of Test Example 3. After 2 hours of pre-treatment, the cells were irradiated with a 9W / 01 / 2P, 30 mJ / cm2UVB lamp for 24 hours (except for the Control group). After irradiation, fresh DMEM / F12 medium was added, and samples or Vc were added according to the group conditions. Then, the SA-β-Gal staining kit (Beyotime, China) was used to detect cell senescence, and the results were observed and photographed under an optical microscope (Zeiss, Germany). The SA-β-Gal positive rate (blue-stained cell number / total cell number x 100%) was calculated using ImageJ software.

[0030] 2. Western Blotting (WB) quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the expression of p53 protein in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells after different group treatments. In this test example, Step 1 used a 9W / 01 / 2P, 30 mJ / cm2UVB lamp to irradiate the cells for 24 hours. After irradiation, the cell proteins were extracted and quantified, and then WB protein detection was performed. The obtained protein bands were analyzed for their gray scale values using Image J software, and the data were statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism software. 2

[0031] 3. Test results: 3-1, Figure 5 As shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, UVB irradiation caused a significant increase in the SA-β-Gal positive rate of HaCaT cells, and cell density and morphology abnormalities were also observed. However, after treatment with active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10 nM, the increase in SA-β-Gal activity was significantly inhibited. 3-2, Figure 5 As shown in Figs. 3C and 3D, Western blot analysis showed that active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10 nM could effectively reduce the overexpression of p53 protein induced by UVB. The above results indicate that active polypeptide OA-AL14 has a significant improvement effect on UVB-induced HaCaT cell senescence.

[0032] Test Example 6: Detection of the protective activity of active polypeptide OA-AL14 on the back skin of UVB-irradiated mice ​1. After one week of acclimatization, 22g female Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6 / group): Control group, UVB group, UVB+PBS group, UVB+OA-AL14 group, and UVB+Vc group. Except for the Control group, the dorsal skin of mice in all other groups was treated with 2000mJ / cm². 2 UVB irradiation (TL20w / 01, Phillips) was performed, with the irradiation time calculated based on the radiation intensity (TM-213, Temars). After irradiation, the Control and UVB groups were given ddH2O, while the remaining groups received local spray administration according to the grouping protocol (i.e., administration of PBS, OA-AL14, and Vc, 1 mL / mouse). 24 hours later, the erythema on the back of the mice was photographed and recorded. Subsequently, the degree of erythema, melanin content, stratum corneum hydration, and epidermal water loss of the mice after hair removal were systematically detected using a Cutometer dual MPA580 skin elasticity tester manufactured by C&K GmbH, Cologne, Germany. After completing the above tests, all mice were anesthetized and euthanized for epidermal protective effect testing (H&E staining). In addition, the skin obtained from each group was used for the determination of oxidative stress and aging-related indicators in Experiment 7.

[0033] 2. Experimental results: Acute UVB radiation (2000mJ / cm²) can cause significant damage to the skin of mice, manifested as typical photoaging symptoms such as characteristic erythema, abnormal melanin deposition, and increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL). 2-1 Figure 6 The results showed that after 24 hours of UVB irradiation, compared with the Control group, the erythema area in the UVB group and the UVB+PBS group was significantly increased, while the erythema severity was significantly reduced with 10 nM of active peptide OA-AL14 and 10 μM of vitamin C. 2-2、 Figure 6 Figures B and C show that the active peptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10 nM can effectively inhibit UVB-induced epidermal thickening, and its effect is comparable to that of vitamin C at a concentration of 10 μM. 2-3 Figure 6 The results of D, E, F, and G show that the active peptide OA-AL14 can significantly improve the decrease in stratum corneum hydration, increase in erythema index, melanin deposition, and increase in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) caused by UVB. The above results indicate that the active peptide OA-AL14 can effectively alleviate UVB-induced skin photoaging.

[0034] Experimental Example 7: Detection of Oxidative Stress and Aging-Related Indicators in the Back Skin of Mice Irradiated by UVB Using Active Peptide OA-AL14 1. The skin of the mice after euthanasia in Test Example 6 was washed with pre-cooled normal saline, weighed, cut into pieces, and then ground in a grinder for 15 min in pre-cooled normal saline (the ratio of skin pieces to normal saline was 1 g:9 mL), and then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min at 4°. The supernatant was used to detect the contents of SOD and MDA using WST-1 and TBA kits, respectively. The two kits and detection schemes were provided by Nanjing Jianshen Biological Engineering Institute (Nanjing, China).

[0035] 2. Western Blotting (WB) quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the expression of Nrf2 protein and p53 protein in the UVB-irradiated skin of mice in different groups. Cell protein extraction and protein quantification were performed, followed by WB protein detection. The obtained protein bands were analyzed for gray scale values using Image J software, and the data were statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism software.

[0036] 3. Test results: 3-1, Figure 7 As shown in the middle A and B, the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10 nM can significantly improve the SOD activity and reduce the MDA content of the skin. 3-2, Figure 7 As shown in the middle C and D, the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10 nM can up-regulate the expression of Nrf2 protein in vivo. 3-3, Figure 7 As shown in the middle E and F, the active polypeptide OA-AL14 at a concentration of 10 nM can reduce the expression of p53 protein associated with aging. The above results are basically consistent with the in vitro tests in Test Examples 4 and 5, indicating that the active polypeptide OA-AL14 can activate antioxidant enzymes and Nrf2, inhibit p53 protein, and effectively improve UVB-induced oxidative stress and photoaging.

[0037] In summary, the active polypeptide OA-AL14 described in the present application has good anti-skin photoaging activity, and has good drug research and development value and clinical application prospects.
