Claims 2 / 2 pages 3 CN 121449726 A Recombinant Collagen and Its Application Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of collagen technology, specifically to a recombinant collagen and its application. Background Art

[0002] Collagen (abbreviated as collagen) is the main protein that makes up the structural tissues of the human body, accounting for about 30-40% of the total protein in the human body. It is a major component of human tissues and organs and is also known as the "framework of life". As a medical material, collagen...Proteins have been widely used in the medical and health field for the repair of human skin, bones, cartilage, cardiovascular system, oral cavity and luminal tissues, as well as in cosmetic surgery.

[0003] Currently, collagen is mainly obtained from animal skin, bones and other tissues through acid, alkaline hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. Although there are various methods for extracting collagen, animal-derived collagen is all type I and has several drawbacks such as immunogenicity, poor uniformity, and the risk of infectious diseases. More importantly, animal-derived collagen is usually obtained through acid, alkali and enzymatic hydrolysis, and its biological activity is far inferior to that of natural human collagen.

[0004] The amino acid sequence of collagen is divided into five parts, including N-terminal propeptide, N-terminal telopeptide, Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeat domain, C-terminal telopeptide, and C-terminal propeptide. Current research on recombinant collagen mainly focuses on the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeat domain. For example, patent document (CN117229386A) discloses a small molecule collagen C3T1, which has good cell adhesion activity, cell migration-promoting activity, and transdermal penetration rate, and exhibits low cytotoxicity, as well as anti-wrinkle, oil-controlling, and repair functions. However, existing technologies have limited research on the functions of the N-terminal and / or C-terminal sequences connected to the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeat domain, especially the C-terminal telopeptide and / or N-terminal telopeptide. How to combine the intermediate repeat region with the telopeptide functional region to construct recombinant collagen with low immunogenicity and high activity, and to develop novel recombinant collagen sequences, is a technical problem urgently needing to be solved in this field.

[0163] Example 2: Recombinant Collagen Expression and Purification

[0164] 1) Construction of Expression Strains

[0165] Construction of pET29a-COL: The nucleic acid fragment synthesized in Example 1 was directly ligated to the pET29a plasmid to obtain pET29a-COL. pET29a-COL was transformed into BL21(DE3) competent cells by heat shock, plated on kanamycin resistance plates, and single colonies were picked from the plates to obtain the expression strain.

[0166] 2) Induction of Target Protein Expression

[0167] Single colonies of the expression strain were picked and inoculated into test tubes containing 2.5 mL of LB medium (with added kanamycin antibiotics) and cultured overnight at 37°C. The seed culture culture after overnight culture was transferred to 100 mL of LB liquid medium at an inoculation rate of 1% and cultured at 37°C and 200 rpm until the OD value was about 2-3. IPTG was added to a final concentration of 1.5 mM for induction culture and induction was carried out for 4 h. The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation.

[0168] 3) Crude purification of target protein

[0169] A 10% (wet weight of bacterial cells / volume of PB) bacterial suspension was prepared with PB buffer at pH 7.0. The suspension was homogenized three times under high pressure at 800 bar. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation and was the crude protein expression solution. It was identified by electrophoresis: DE3 competent cells without plasmid were used as the induction control. After induction, the cell wall breaking control group and the constructed expression strain group were simultaneously detected by SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis.

[0170] 4) Purification of the target protein

[0171] The SP column (Qianchun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number: A20504) was equilibrated with 5 column volumes of equilibration buffer (10 mM NaH2PO3, pH 3.0). Then, the above crude protein expression solution was used for loading to ensure that the target protein was fully bound to the column. The SP column was then equilibrated with 5 column volumes of equilibration buffer (10 mM NaH2PO3, 500 mM NaCl, pH 3.0). Then, impurities were eluted with 5 column volumes of elution buffer (10 mM NaH2PO3, 150 mM NaCl, pH 3.0). Then, the target protein was eluted with 2 column volumes of elution buffer (10 mM NaH2PO3, 500 mM NaCl, pH 3.0).

[0172] The obtained product was dialyzed overnight and lyophilized into a dry powder for later use.

[0173] Other different recombinant collagen sequences were designed and prepared in accordance with Example 1. The amino acid sequences and corresponding nucleotide sequences are shown in Table 1.

[0179] Recombinant collagen performance testing method:

[0180] The recombinant collagen sequence designed according to Table 1 of Example 1 was constructed and prepared according to the method of Example 2 to obtain the corresponding collagen freeze-dried products COL-1 to COL-26. Recombinant collagen cytotoxicity experiment, cell adhesion activity experiment, cell proliferation experiment, cell migration promotion experiment, in vitro anti-inflammatory experiment and melanin production inhibition experiment were performed respectively. The specific testing methods of the relevant experiments are as follows:

[0181] 1. Recombinant collagen cytotoxicity experiment

[0182] According to the requirements of GB / T16886.5-2017, mammalian L929 cells were cultured in vitro to test the potential cytotoxic effects of recombinant collagen.

[0183] 1) Experimental materials

[0184] Mouse fibroblasts (L929), MEM medium, PBS, Hank balanced salt solution (HBSS), penicillin and streptomycin and fetalBovine serum (FBS), 0.25% trypsin (containing EDTA), isopropanol, MTT assay kit, high-density polyethylene, DMSO.

[0185] The experimental group was selected from recombinant collagen samples of COL-1 to COL-26.

[0186] The control group included blank control group, negative control group (high-density polyethylene) and positive control group (DMSO).

[0187] 2) Experimental steps

[0188] Prepare 100 μl of cell suspension in a 96-well plate. Pre-culture the plate in an incubator for 24 hours (37℃, 5% CO2). Add different concentrations of the above experimental group and control group to the plate. Incubate the plate in an incubator for 24 hours. Then add 50 μl of MTT solution to each well, incubate in an incubator for 2 hours, then discard the MTT solution, add 100 μl of isopropanol solution to each well, shake the plate, and measure the absorbance at 570 nm (reference wavelength 650 nm) using a microplate reader.

[0189] 3) Cell viability calculation formula:

[0190] Cell viability (%) = (average OD value of experimental group / average OD value of blank control group) × 100

[0191] Generally speaking, cell viability above 70% can be considered to have no cytotoxicity and be safe for the human body; if cell viability drops below 70%, it has potential cytotoxicity.

[0192] The results showed that the cell viability of the blank control group was 100%, the cell viability of the positive control group was 1.82%, and the cell viability of the negative control group was 98.2%. The cells in the blank control group and the negative control group (high-density polyethylene) maintained normal morphology throughout the experiment and did not show cytotoxic reactions. The positive control group (DMSO) showed severe cytotoxic reactions, which indicates that the experiment was successful. See Examples 3-7 for specific experimental group results. Instructions 13 / 36 pages 16 CN 121449726 A

[0193] 2. Recombinant collagen cell adhesion activity experiment

[0194] 1) Experimental materials

[0195] Normal culture of NIH / 3T3 cells, MEM medium, PBS, Hank balanced salt solution (HBSS), penicillin and fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.25% trypsin (containing EDTA), DMSO, MTT assay kit

[0196] Take COL-1 to COL-26 and control group (bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution), and then dilute with PBS (pH 7.4) to 0.5 mg / mL.

[0197] 2) Experimental steps

[0198] Add 100 μL of COL-1 to COL-26 solution and control group bovine serum albumin solution to a 96-well cell culture plate, and set up 3 replicates for each group. Let stand at room temperature for 60 minutes; then add 10⁵ NIH / 3T3 cells in good culture condition to each well.Cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 60 min. Cells in the wells were washed 4 times with PBS. The absorbance at 570 nm was detected using an MTT assay kit (specific operation is performed according to the instruction manual).

[0199] The higher the cell adhesion rate, the more cells the protein adheres to, and the more quickly the recombinant collagen can help cells adhere to the wall or the extracellular matrix, which is more conducive to building a suitable extracellular environment.

[0200] The cell adhesion rate of the control group bovine serum albumin was 100%, indicating that the experiment was successful. The specific experimental group results are shown in Examples 3-7.

[0201] 3. Recombinant collagen cell proliferation experiment

[0202] 1) Experimental materials

[0203] Mouse fibroblasts (L929), MEM medium, PBS, Hank balanced salt solution (HBSS), penicillin and streptomycin and fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.25% trypsin (containing EDTA), isopropanol, MTT assay kit.

[0204] The experimental group was selected from recombinant collagen samples COL-1 to COL-26.

[0205] The control group included a blank control group and a positive control group (complete culture medium).

[0206] 2) Experimental steps

[0207] L929 cell suspension with a cell concentration of 4×104 cells / mL was added to a 96-well plate, 100μl per well, for a total of 4000 cells / well, and cultured at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. After the culture was completed, the culture medium in the culture plate was discarded, and 1640 starvation medium was added and cultured for 24 hours. After the culture was completed, the experimental group, blank control group, positive control group, and COL-1 to COL-26 experimental samples were added to the plate, with 6 wells in each group, and cultured in a 37℃ and 5% CO2 saturated humidity incubator for 48 hours. After the culture was completed, the cell culture plate was removed, the culture medium was discarded, 50μl of 1mg / mL MTT solution was added to each well, and cultured in a 37℃ and 5% CO2 saturated humidity incubator for 2 hours.

[0208] After the culture was completed, the liquid in the culture plate was discarded, 100 μl of isopropanol was added to each well, the plate was shaken and mixed, and the plate was placed in a microplate reader. The readings were taken at wavelengths of 570 nm and 650 nm. The relative cell viability of each experimental group was calculated by comparing the OD value of the blank control group. The blank control group was recorded as 100%.

[0209] 3) Result evaluation

[0210] The OD value of each group was measured, and the cell proliferation rate was calculated according to the following formula. A cell proliferation rate ≥ 100% was considered to have a proliferation effect.

[0211] Cell proliferation rate (%) = (average OD value of the test group / average OD value of the blank control group) × 100.

[0212] The results showed that the cell proliferation rate of the positive control group was 130%, and the experiment was successful. The specific experimental group results are shown in Examples 3-7.

[0213] 4. Recombinant collagen promotes cell migration experiment

[0214] 1) Experimental materials instruction manual 14 / 36 pages 17 CN 121449726 A

[0215] Mouse fibroblasts (L929), MEM medium, PBS, Hank balanced salt solution (HBSS), penicillin and fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.25% trypsin (containing EDTA).

[0216] The experimental group was selected from recombinant collagen samples of COL-1 to COL-26.

[0217] 2) Experimental steps

[0218] ① Cell culture

[0219] First, mark each well of the 6-well plate with a marker pen, dividing each well into three equal parts horizontally and vertically. Seed cells at approximately (5-15) × 10⁵ cells per well. Each group had 3 replicate wells.

[0220] ② Scratch test

[0221] Using a marker pen and a ruler, draw three horizontal lines on the bottom of the well plate. After culturing the cells for 24 hours, use a 10 μL pipette tip, aligned vertically with the ruler (or a special cell culture dish for scratch testing), to gently push down the vertical lines to form scratches. Wash the cells three times with PBS to remove the scratched cells. Add 2 mL of serum-free medium containing COL-1 to COL-26 recombinant collagen samples to the experimental group, with a final concentration of 0.5 mg / mL. The blank control group only added serum-free medium.

[0222] Incubate at 37℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 0 h and 24 h, take pictures under a 40x microscope with the intersection of the horizontal and vertical scratches as the core. Obtain pictures of 9 sites per well, for a total of 27 data points per group.

[0223] ③ Data Processing

[0224] The area of ​​the scratched area was measured, and the cell migration rate of each group was calculated by dividing the total area of ​​the migrating cells in the fixed scratched area by the initial area of ​​the fixed scratched area. The specific experimental group results are shown in Examples 3-7.

[0225] 5. Study on the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect of recombinant collagen

[0226] 1) Experimental materials

[0227] Mouse macrophages (RAW264.7 cells), DMEM (high glucose) medium, PBS, Hank balanced salt solution (HBSS), penicillin and fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.25% trypsin (containing EDTA), Mouse TNF-α ELISA Kit, bacterial lipopolysaccharide LPS, dexamethasone.

[0228] The experimental group was selected from recombinant collagen samples from COL-1 to COL-26.

[0229] 2) Experimental steps

[0230] Take well-grown RAW264.7 cells and seed them into 96-well plates at 1×104 cells / well. Add 100 μl of the above-mentioned recombinant collagen COL-1 to COL-26 working solution to each well. After cell seeding, incubate in a CO2 incubator for 24 h. Discard the culture medium in the cell culture wells;

[0231] Add culture medium containing LPS (final concentration 1 μg / ml) to the negative control wells. Add culture medium containing dexamethasone (final concentration 100 μg / ml) and LPS (final concentration 1 μg / ml) to the positive control wells. Add DMEM to the blank control wells.Apply 100 μl of culture medium per well, with two replicates per group. After administration, incubate the 96-well plate in a CO2 incubator for 24 hours. See Table 2 for specific administration methods.

[0232] Table 2: Induction drug administration method

[0233] Sample name Blank control (μl) Positive control (μl) Negative control (μl) Experimental group (μl) LPS working solution (1μg / ml) 0 0 100 0 LPS working solution (2μg / ml) 0 50 0 50 Dexamethasone working solution (200μg / ml) 0 50 0 0 Recombinant collagen working solution 0 0 0 50 DMEM starvation medium 100 0 0 0 Total 100 100 100 100 Instruction manual 15 / 36 pages 18 CN 121449726 A

[0234] After the incubation culture was completed, 100μl of cell culture supernatant was collected in a 1.5ml sterile centrifuge tube and detected according to the operation instructions of the TNF-α ELISA detection kit.

[0235] 3) Calculation of TNF-α content

[0236] Using the concentration of the standard as the vertical axis and the OD value (OD450-OD570) as the horizontal axis, a standard curve regression equation was constructed. The OD value of the sample was substituted into the equation to calculate the TNF-α content of the sample. Finally, the average value of each group was taken as the final TNF-α content result.

[0237] Calculation formula:

[0238]

[0239] Where: T is the average TNF-α content of the experimental group;

[0240] C is the average TNF-α content of the negative control group

[0241] The results showed that the TNF-α content inhibition rate of the positive control group (59%) was above 20%, and the result of the blank control group was 0%, indicating that the experiment was successful. For specific experimental group results, see Examples 3-7.

[0242] 6. Melanin Production Inhibition Assay

[0243] 1) Experimental Materials

[0244] Mouse melanoma cells (B16), DMEM (high glucose) medium, PBS, Hank balanced salt solution (HBSS), penicillin and fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.25% trypsin (containing EDTA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and thiazolyl blue (MTT) assay kit.

[0245] The experimental group was selected from COL-1 to COL-26 recombinant collagen samples.

[0246] 2) Experimental Procedure

[0247] Take well-grown B16 cells, passage them into 6 mm petri dishes, and seed them at a density of 250,000 cells / well, with a volume of 4 ml per well. After seeding, place the cells in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 h and discard the culture medium in the cell culture wells. Experimental group: COL collagen sample was prepared using DMEM complete medium; blank group: DMEM complete medium; culture conditions: 37 ℃, 5% CO2.

[0248] Add 4 ml of culture medium for the experimental group (concentration of 2 mg / mL), the blank group, and kojic acid solution (1 mg / mL), a commonly used tyrosinase inhibitor, to the control group. Incubate the 6-well plates at 37℃ and continue culturing. Stop culturing at 48 h, collect the supernatant, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 10 min, add 500 μl of trypsin to the cells, let stand for 2 min, collect the cells with 1 ml of PBS, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 10 min, add 500 μl of NaOH solution (1 mol / L) containing 10% DMSO to the cells, blow up the precipitate thoroughly, and place in an 80℃ water bath for 1 h to completely dissolve the melanin granules. Transfer 150 μl to a 96-well plate and measure the absorbance at OD390 using a microplate reader.

[0249] 3) Calculation of relative melanin content:

[0250] Relative melanin content = OD390 value of experimental group / OD390 value of blank group × 100%

[0251] The results showed that the melanin production inhibition rate of kojic acid solution (49.6%) was above 20%, indicating that the experiment was successful. The specific experimental group results are shown in Examples 3-7.

[0252] Example 3 Bioactivity of different types of collagen telopeptides on recombinant collagen

[0253] The COL collagen samples in Table 3 were subjected to bioactivity tests according to test methods 1-6. The experimental results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 1.

[0254] Table 3 Effect of different types of collagen telopeptides on the bioactivity of recombinant collagen Specification 16 / 36 pages 19 CN 121449726 A

[0255]

[0256] As can be seen from Table 3 and Figure 1, the cell viability of the four recombinant collagen samples is greater than 90%, and the cell adhesion rate and cell proliferation rate are both greater than 100%, indicating that the recombinant collagen has good cell viability, cell adhesion and cell proliferation, and has a good cell proliferation and adhesion promotion effect. The cell migration rates of the four recombinant collagens are 38%, 32%, 82% and 25%, respectively, indicating that the four recombinant collagens all have certain cell migration promotion properties, especially COL-3 (i.e., recombinant collagen using type III collagen telopeptides, SEQ ID NO: 3) has a significantly higher cell migration rate than other recombinant collagen samples.

[0257] Moreover, COL-3 also showed significant anti-inflammatory effects, with a TNF-α inhibition rate of 56% (TNF-α is an important inflammatory mediator, and its reduction indicates that COL-3 can effectively alleviate the inflammatory response); in contrast, COL-4 (without telopeptides), COL-1 (using type I collagen telopeptides), and COL-2 (using type II collagen telopeptides) had anti-inflammatory rates of less than 5%, indicating weak anti-inflammatory effects. This suggests that the telopeptide structure of collagen has a certain influence on its anti-inflammatory properties, and collagen samples with type III collagen telopeptides perform well in anti-inflammatory aspects.

[0258] COL-3 also showed a significant effect in inhibiting melanin production, with a melanin production inhibition rate of 31%. COL-4, COL-1, and COL-2 not only had no melanin production inhibition effect, but even promoted melanin production. This indicates that type III collagen telopeptides have a unique role in regulating melanin production.

[0259] In summary, recombinant collagen samples using different types of collagen telopeptides all exhibited good cell activity, cell proliferation, and cell adhesion, meeting the needs of medical applications (such as medical dressings, sponges, tissue repair, etc.). Among them, recombinant collagen using type III collagen telopeptides (COL-3) showed significant advantages in promoting cell migration, in vitro anti-inflammatory effects, and inhibiting melanin production, significantly outperforming recombinant collagen without telopeptides or using other types of collagen telopeptides (types I and II), making it particularly suitable for whitening and anti-inflammatory medical devices, drugs, or skincare products.

[0260] Example 4: Bioactivity of recombinant collagen with C-terminal peptides of different lengths of type III collagen

[0261] COL collagen designed according to the amino acid sequence in Table 1 of Example 1 was constructed and prepared according to the method in Example 2 to obtain the corresponding lyophilized collagen products COL-3, COL-5 to COL-10. Bioactivity tests were performed according to the above test methods 1 to 6. The experimental results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 2.

[0262] Table 4 Effect of C-terminal peptides of different lengths of type III collagen on the bioactivity of recombinant collagen Specification 17 / 36 pages 20 CN 121449726 A

[0263]

[0264]

[0265] When the amino acids in the middle region and N-terminal region remained unchanged, the effect of truncation of C-terminal amino acids on collagen activity was investigated. As can be seen from Table 4 and Figure 2, as the number of C-terminal amino acids decreased, the cell viability of the recombinant collagen samples showed a gradual decreasing trend. This indicates that the C-terminal amino acid sequence is crucial for maintaining normal cell function and survival. When the number of C-terminal amino acids decreased by 12 to 16, the downward trend in cell viability stabilized and still reached 70%, indicating that high cell viability could be maintained. However, when the number of C-terminal amino acids decreased further (20 or more), cell viability dropped to below 65% (below 70%), indicating that collagen may begin to have a negative impact on cells at this point.

[0266] The cell proliferation rate of recombinant collagen samples also showed the same trend as cell viability. When the number of C-terminal amino acids decreased by less than 20, the cell proliferation rate of the samples was greater than or close to 100%, indicating that the recombinant collagen samples had a certain cell proliferation effect and the proliferation ability was relatively stable. However, when the number of C-terminal amino acids decreased to 24, the cell proliferation rate decreased significantly to 38%.

[0267] Similarly, cell adhesion rate and cell migration rate showed the same trend as cell viability and cell proliferation rate.Therefore, when the number of C-terminal amino acids is reduced to within 0-16, the collagen samples all exhibit good cell viability, cell proliferation rate, cell adhesion rate, and cell migration rate.

[0268] Furthermore, as the number of C-terminal amino acids decreases, the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition rate of the recombinant collagen samples both show an upward trend. When the number of amino acids is reduced by 12 to 16, the changes in the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition rate tend to stabilize. However, if the number of C-terminal amino acids is further reduced (to 20-24), the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition rate will drop sharply. Therefore, in order to optimize the performance of collagen samples, the number of amino acids in the C-terminal region can be controlled.

[0269] In summary, when the number of C-terminal amino acids is reduced by 0 to 16 (including SEQ ID NO: 58, 66-69), the recombinant collagen samples have good cell viability, cell proliferation, cell adhesion, cell migration, and in vitro anti-inflammatory and melanin production inhibition capabilities. Among them, when the number of C-terminal amino acids is reduced by 4 to 16, the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition capability are the strongest, and the recombinant collagen is more suitable for use in whitening and anti-inflammatory related products. Specification 18 / 36 pages 21 CN 121449726 A

[0270] Example 5: Bioactivity of recombinant collagen with N-terminal peptides of different lengths of type III collagen

[0271] COL collagen designed according to the amino acid sequence in Table 1 of Example 1 was constructed and prepared according to the method of Example 2 to obtain the corresponding collagen freeze-dried products COL-8, COL-11 to COL-18, and bioactivity was tested according to test methods 1 to 6. The experimental results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 3.

[0272] Table 5 Effects of N-terminal peptides of different lengths of type III collagen on the bioactivity of recombinant collagen

[0273]

[0274] The effect of truncation of N-terminal amino acids on collagen activity was investigated while keeping the amino acids in the middle and C-terminal regions unchanged. As can be seen from Table 5 and Figure 3, when the N-terminal amino acids were truncated, the cell viability, cell adhesion rate, cell proliferation rate and cell migration rate of the recombinant collagen samples were all improved; when the number of N-terminal amino acids was reduced by 0 to 10, the recombinant collagen samples all had high cell viability, proliferation activity and adhesion performance; and showed an upward trend as the number of N-terminal amino acids decreased (within 1 to 5 amino acids); when the number of N-terminal amino acids was reduced by 5 to 6 amino acids, the changes of each indicator tended to stabilize, while after further reduction of amino acids (8 to 10 amino acids), each indicator showed a downward trend, but still maintained a high level.

[0275] In addition, both the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and the melanin production inhibition rate showed a decreasing trend with the reduction of N-terminal amino acids. When the N-terminus was reduced by 5-6 amino acids, the changes in the in vitro anti-inflammatory and melanin production inhibition rates of collagen samples tended to stabilize.And it can maintain a very high level. However, when the number of N-terminal amino acids is further reduced, the in vitro anti-inflammatory and melanin production inhibition rates show a downward trend.

[0276] In summary, the reduction of the number of N-terminal amino acids can significantly improve the cell vitality, cell adhesion, cell proliferation and cell migration ability of collagen, but at the same time it will lead to a decrease in the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition ability. When the number of N-terminal amino acids is reduced by 0 to 10 (including SEQ ID NO: 55, 70-77), the recombinant collagen sample has good cell vitality, cell adhesion, cell proliferation and cell migration ability, and is suitable for medical dressings, hemostasis, tissue repair, tissue filling and other medical fields; when the number of N-terminal amino acids is reduced by 0 to 6 (including SEQ ID NO: 55, 72-77), in addition to the above activities, it also has obvious in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition effect, and can also be used in whitening, anti-inflammatory and other medical, beauty and skin care products and other fields, giving recombinant collagen diversified use needs.

[0277] Example 6: Bioactivity of recombinant collagen with amino acid sequences of different lengths and types in the middle region

[0278] COL collagen designed according to the amino acid sequence in Table 1 of Example 1 was constructed and prepared according to the method of Example 2 to obtain the corresponding lyophilized collagen products COL-4, COL-15, COL-19-23, and COL-26. Bioactivity tests were performed according to test methods 1 to 6. The experimental results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 4.

[0279] Table 6 Effect of amino acid sequences of different lengths and types in the middle region on the bioactivity of recombinant collagen

[0280]

[0281]

[0282] In order to investigate the effect of the N, C-terminal and middle region amino acid sequences on the activity of collagen, this example tested the performance of recombinant collagen samples without type III N and C-terminals, without the middle region, and with amino acids replaced in the middle region, based on COL15. Table 6 and Figure 4 show that all recombinant collagen groups had high cell viability (>85%), cell adhesion rate (>100%), and cell proliferation rate (>130%).

[0283] Compared with the simple intermediate region collagen sequences (COL-4, COL-19, COL-21), the addition of type III collagen telopeptides (COL-15, COL-20, COL-22) significantly improved the cell migration ability of the recombinant collagen samples. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory effect and melanin inhibition effect of collagen were also significantly improved, indicating that telopeptides have a certain influence on the performance of collagen.

[0284] Different types of intermediate region amino acid sequences were used, specifically type III (COL15), type I (COL20), and type II.After (COL22), the anti-inflammatory effects of each collagen group were 60%, 50%, and 50%, respectively, and the melanin production inhibition rates were 41%, 40%, and 40%, respectively. Its melanin inhibition effect was close to that of kojic acid (kojic acid can effectively inhibit tyrosinase and chelate copper ions, thereby reducing melanin production, and is a substance commonly used in the prior art to inhibit melanin), indicating that COL15, COL20, and COL22 all have good anti-inflammatory and melanin production inhibition capabilities.

[0285] In addition, compared with COL-15, when the length of the amino acid sequence in the middle region was shortened, the anti-inflammatory effect (50%) and melanin production inhibition rate (43%) of collagen COL-23 (repeated 3 times on page 23 of the specification, CN 121449726 A) could still maintain a high level.

[0286] Furthermore, compared with COL-15, after completely removing the amino acid sequence of the middle region, the anti-inflammatory effect (57%) and melanin production inhibition rate (36%) of recombinant collagen COL-26 can still maintain a good level.

[0287] In summary, when the amino acid sequence of the telopeptide is appropriately shortened, the recombinant collagen samples (COL15, COL20, COL22, COL-23 and COL-26) of this application have good biological activities, especially good effects of promoting cell migration, anti-inflammation and inhibiting melanin production.

[0288] Example 7: Functional study of N-terminal and C-terminal telopeptides of type III collagen

[0289] COL collagen designed according to the amino acid sequence in Table 1 of Example 1 was constructed and prepared according to the method of Example 2 to obtain the corresponding collagen freeze-dried products COL-23 to COL-25, and the bioactivity was tested according to test methods 1 to 6. The experimental results are shown in Table 7 and Figure 5.

[0290] Table 7 Effect of telopeptides on the bioactivity of recombinant collagen

[0291]

[0292] As can be seen from Table 7 and Figure 5, the recombinant collagens prepared in this embodiment all have high cell viability (>70%), cell adhesion rate (>100%), cell proliferation rate (>100%), and cell migration rate.

[0293] Further, compared with recombinant collagen (COL-23) containing both N-terminal and C-terminal telopeptide sequences, the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect and melanin production inhibition rate of recombinant collagen (COL-24) containing only N-terminal telopeptide sequences decreased, from 50% and 43% to 20% and 20%, respectively. However, the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect (55%) and melanin production inhibition rate (36%) of recombinant collagen (COL-25) containing only C-terminal telopeptide sequences remained at a high level. This indicates that C-terminal telopeptides have a significant impact on the anti-inflammatory and melanin production inhibition functions of recombinant collagen.

[0294] Therefore, recombinant collagen with type III collagen C-terminal peptides showed significant advantages in in vitro anti-inflammatory effects and melanin inhibition. Meanwhile, considering COL4, COL23-COL26, it can be seen that collagen containing only N-terminal telopeptides also has certain anti-inflammatory and melanin inhibition effects, indicating that N-terminal telopeptides can also endow recombinant collagen with certain anti-inflammatory and melanin inhibition effects.

[0295] In summary, by selecting suitable types of N-terminal peptides, C-terminal telopeptides, the number of truncations, and suitable amino acid sequences in the middle region, this application can obtain recombinant collagen with superior biological activity. Using appropriate N-terminal telopeptides (such as type III) and truncated amounts (such as 0-10 amino acids, preferably 0-6) is beneficial to improving the cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration effects of collagen products, making them suitable for medical or medical device products such as dressings that promote tissue growth and tissue repair; controlling appropriate AC telopeptides (such as type III) and truncated amounts (such as 0-16 amino acids, preferably 4-16) is beneficial to improving the anti-inflammatory and melanin-inhibiting effects of collagen products, making them suitable for whitening, anti-inflammatory, and other medical, medical device, or skincare product fields.

[0296] The recombinant collagen SEQ ID NO: 3, 5-8, 11-18, 20, 22-26 of this application can take into account both of the above-mentioned effects, and at the same time have excellent properties of promoting cell proliferation, promoting cell adhesion and migration, anti-inflammation, and inhibiting melanin production, and can be applied to application scenarios such as promoting repair, whitening, and anti-inflammation, meeting the needs of use.
