Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of exosome lyophilized powder technology, and more specifically, to an exosome lyophilized powder, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Exosome freeze-dried powder is a powdered biological product made from exosomes secreted by cells as the core raw material, which is separated, purified and freeze-dried at low temperature. The main components include exosomes (active substances include growth factors, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids), trehalose, sodium hyaluronate, etc. It is mainly used in the fields of facial anti-aging, fading of pigmentation and acne marks, tissue damage repair and immune regulation.

[0003] The core of the exosome lyophilized powder's function is that exosomes act as "cell messengers," delivering bioactive substances to target cells through two mechanisms: fusion of the lipid layer with the target cell and receptor-mediated endocytosis. This regulates gene expression and metabolic function in target cells, promotes the expression of related genes, thereby modulating immune responses, inhibiting inflammation, and promoting related cell proliferation and tissue repair.

[0004] Currently, the main components of exosome lyophilized powder are mesenchymal stem cell exosomes, trehalose, and sodium hyaluronate. Although it has anti-inflammatory and repair effects, its efficacy is limited due to the low retention rate of active substances. The low retention rate of active substances in exosome lyophilized powder is due to two main reasons. First, the exosome membrane structure is fragile, and the components of the lyophilized powder form solid ice crystals with sharp edges under low-temperature freezing conditions. These crystals can physically puncture and damage the exosome membrane, causing sudden changes in external osmotic pressure and friction between membrane lipids after exosome aggregation, leading to membrane rupture and leakage of active substances. Second, exosomes are prone to membrane lipid oxidation and protein denaturation during storage, resulting in the loss of activity of some active substances. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an exosome lyophilized powder with high activity retention and high stability.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing exosome lyophilized powder.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the exosome lyophilized powder in the preparation of cosmetics.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: A lyophilized exosome powder contains mesenchymal stem cell exosomes, trehalose, sodium hyaluronate, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, glutathione, ceramide, and fructooligosaccharides.

[0009] The exosome lyophilized powder of this invention incorporates hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, glutathione, ceramide, and fructooligosaccharides. Ceramide can intercalate within the exosome lipid bilayer, repairing damaged membranes, enhancing membrane stability, reducing the damage to membrane permeability caused by low temperatures, and maintaining membrane structural integrity. Fructooligosaccharides can regulate the system's osmotic pressure, reduce ice crystal formation, and alleviate the physical puncture damage to vesicle structures caused by ice crystals. Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin can form hydrophobic cavities to encapsulate the exosome membrane, preventing membrane rupture caused by friction between membrane lipids due to exosome aggregation. Glutathione, as an antioxidant, can prevent lipid oxidation and protein denaturation, thereby preventing exosome membrane rupture. All these components effectively protect the structural integrity of the exosome membrane, and the lyophilized exosome powder retains a high rate of active substances, thus fully leveraging the anti-inflammatory, cell metabolism-regulating, and tissue-repairing effects of exosomes.

[0010] In addition, glutathione can directly scavenge free radicals in the skin and inhibit oxidative stress damage, thus having antioxidant effects; ceramides can replenish the skin's lipid barrier, enhance water-locking ability, and enhance the moisturizing effect of sodium hyaluronate; and fructooligosaccharides can regulate the skin's microecological balance, thus having antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

[0011] Preferably, the exosome lyophilized powder also contains human serum albumin and platelet-rich growth factor lyophilized powder, vitamin E, and ginsenoside Rh2.

[0012] The components of the exosome lyophilized powder of the present invention include: (1) Platelet-rich lyophilized powder containing multiple growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which can directly stimulate the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, accelerate the repair of damaged skin barrier, and form a synergistic effect with growth factors EGF and bFGF in exosomes to enhance the repair efficacy of exosome lyophilized powder; (2) Vitamin E and glutathione form an antioxidant network, which not only prevents lipid oxidation and protein denaturation, thus preventing exosome membrane rupture, but also enhances antioxidant effects; (3) Ginsenosides can scavenge free radicals, inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen species, inhibit the oxidative degradation of EGF, bFGF and platelet-rich growth factor in exosomes, and prolong the storage stability of freeze-dried powder; they can also inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), reduce collagen loss, delay the formation of skin wrinkles and sagging, and work synergistically with ceramides and sodium hyaluronate to achieve the dual effects of "anti-aging + water-locking and moisturizing".

In the preparation method: S4 breaks down the conventional operation step of "directly freezing the exosome lyophilized liquid at -80℃" into two steps: pre-freezing at -45~-35℃ and deep pre-freezing at -85~-75℃, to avoid the formation of large ice crystals in the exosome lyophilized liquid that puncture the exosome membrane; secondary annealing can effectively eliminate ice crystal residue and avoid puncturing the exosome membrane.

[0066] The specific detection method for the effect of exosome lyophilized powder on cell proliferation is as follows: (1) Cell culture: HDF cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 5×10⁶ cells / well. 3 Cells / well were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. (2) Group treatment: The experimental group was given different dilutions of the lyophilized powder obtained from the examples or comparative examples (final concentration containing 1×10⁻⁶ exosomes). 10 (number / mL), the control group was added with an equal volume of sterile PBS buffer, and cultured for another 24 hours; (3) Detection procedure: Add 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent to each well, incubate for 4 h, and then read the OD value at a wavelength of 450 nm using an ELISA reader; (4) Calculation method of cell proliferation rate: Proliferation rate = (OD value of experimental group / OD value of control group) × 100%.

(3) Blank control: Use ethanol instead of the reconstituted solution and incubate under the same conditions; (4) Detection procedure: The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 517 nm using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer (sample A). The absorbance of the blank control group was blank A. (5) Calculation method: DPPH free radical scavenging rate = (1 - A sample / A blank) × 100%.

[0070] The anti-inflammatory effect of exosome lyophilized powder was specifically tested using the following methods: (1) Cell induction: HDF cells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured until the confluence reached 70%. 1 μg / mL LPS (lipopolysaccharide) was added to induce an inflammatory response for 24 h. (2) Group treatment: The experimental group was given a lyophilized powder reconstituted solution (exosome concentration 1×10⁻⁶). 10 (number / mL), the control group was added with an equal volume of sterile PBS and cultured for another 24 hours; (3) Detection procedure: Collect cell culture supernatant, use IL-6 ELISA kit, follow the instructions, read OD value with microplate reader, and calculate IL-6 concentration; (4) Calculation method: IL-6 inhibition rate = (IL-6 concentration in control group - IL-6 concentration in experimental group) / IL-6 concentration in control group × 100%.
