[0028] <Composition>
[0029] As previously stated, the compositions of the present invention comprise a treatment of megakaryocytes or their cultures. As previously stated, the compositions of the present invention are characterized by comprising a treatment of megakaryocytes or their cultures; other components and conditions are not particularly limited. According to the compositions of the present invention, for example, cell-derived physiologically active compositions can be provided. According to the compositions of the present invention, for example, they can promote the proliferation of cells such as mesenchymal cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and dermal papilla cells; furthermore, they are expected to be suitable for promoting the healing of skin disorders such as ulcers, bedsores, burns, scars, trauma, and skin aging; maintaining or improving the skin barrier function; and promoting hair growth.
[0030] In this invention, "megakaryocyte" refers to the largest cells found in the bone marrow of an organism, encompassing cells that release platelets and cells with equivalent functions. The aforementioned cells with equivalent functions refer to cells capable of producing platelets. In this invention, megakaryocytes can be pre-polynuclearized (polyploidized) megakaryocytes, i.e., immature megakaryocytes or proliferating megakaryocytes, or post-polynuclearized megakaryocytes (multinucleated megakaryocytes). Specifically, the aforementioned megakaryocytes can be any of the following: megakaryocyte progenitor cells (Japanese: pre-megakaryocyte buds), promegakaryocytes, immature megakaryocytes, and mature megakaryocytes. The aforementioned post-polynuclearized megakaryocytes only need to possess more than two sets of chromosomes; specifically, 16 to 32 sets are used.
[0031] There are no particular restrictions on the source of the aforementioned megakaryocytes; for example, humans and non-human animals can be listed. Examples of non-human animals include primates such as monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees, and marmosets, as well as mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, horses, and guinea pigs. The sources of the other cells listed below are the same.
[0032] In this invention, the aforementioned megakaryocytes can be identified using cell surface markers. When the megakaryocytes are derived from humans, the aforementioned cell surface markers may include CD41a, CD42a, and CD42b. That is, the aforementioned megakaryocytes are cells that are positive for CD41a, CD42a, and CD42b. When the aforementioned megakaryocytes are derived from humans, the aforementioned cell surface markers may be, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of CD9, CD61, CD62p, CD42c, CD42d, CD49f, CD51, CD110, CD123, CD131, and CD203c.
[0033] The aforementioned megakaryocytes can be megakaryocytes isolated from an organism, or they can be megakaryocytes induced by pluripotent cells or other cells that are undifferentiated compared to megakaryocytes (hereinafter also referred to as "progenitor cells"). The aforementioned "cells that are undifferentiated compared to megakaryocytes" refer to cells that have the differentiation ability to differentiate into the aforementioned megakaryocytes.
[0034] When the aforementioned megakaryocytes are megakaryocytes isolated from an organism, these megakaryocytes may be present in, for example, bone marrow, and therefore can be isolated from the bone marrow. In this case, the aforementioned megakaryocytes may contain other cells derived from the organism.
[0035] When the aforementioned megakaryocytes are megakaryocytes induced by progenitor cells, as described later, these megakaryocytes can be induced in vitro. In this case, the aforementioned megakaryocytes may include the aforementioned progenitor cells. Examples of such progenitor cells include hematopoietic stem cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, CD34-positive cells, megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor (MEP), and megakaryocyte progenitor cells. These progenitor cells can be isolated from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, peripheral blood, etc., and can also be induced from pluripotent cells such as ES cells (embryonic stem cells), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), nuclear transfer ES cells (ntES cells), germline stem cells, somatic stem cells, and embryonic cancer cells.
[0036] When the aforementioned megakaryocytes are megakaryocytes induced by progenitor cells, immortalized megakaryocytes are preferred. These immortalized megakaryocytes, for example, exhibit higher homogeneity in their cell differentiation stage compared to megakaryocytes induced using other methods, thus suppressing variations in the composition of the resulting processed material. As described later, these immortalized megakaryocytes are, for example, megakaryocytes induced by introducing oncogenes and polycomb genes, or by introducing oncogenes, polycomb genes, and apoptosis-inhibiting genes, into the aforementioned progenitor cells.
[0037] The aforementioned "oncogenes" refer to genes that can induce cancerous changes in cells within an organism. Examples include MYC family genes such as c-MYC, N-MYC, and L-MYC, SRC family genes, RAS family genes, RAF family genes, c-kit (CD117), PDGFR (platelet growth factor receptor), and Abl (Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog) and other protein kinase family genes.
[0038] The aforementioned "multicomb genes" refer to genes that are known to negatively regulate CDKN2a (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A, INK4a / ARF) and thus play a role in preventing cellular aging (see references 1-3 below). As specific examples, the aforementioned multicomb genes include BMI1 (multicomb complex BMI-1, multicomb family ring finger protein 4 (PCGF4), ring finger protein 51 (RNF51)), Mel18 (multicomb family ring finger protein 2), Ring (ring finger protein) 1a / b, Phc (Polyhomeotichomolog) 1 / 2 / 3, Cbx (pigment box) 2 / 4 / 6 / 7 / 8, Ezh2 (enhancer of the second subunit of the Zeste 2 multicomb repression complex), Eed (embryonic ectoderm development protein), Suz12 (the second subunit of the SUZ12 multicomb repression complex), HADC (histone deacetylases), Dnmt (DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase) 1 / 3a / 3b, etc.

[0042] The aforementioned "apoptosis-inhibiting genes" refer to genes that have the function of inhibiting cell apoptosis, such as BCL2 (B-lymphoma-2), Bcl-xL (large B-cell lymphoma), Survivin (containing baculovirus IAP repeat sequence protein 5), MCL1 (BCL2 family apoptosis regulator), etc.
[0043] The aforementioned immortalized megakaryocytes are preferably megakaryocytes containing exogenous BMI1, MYC, and Bcl-xL genes. "Exogenous" refers to genes introduced into the cell from outside. These exogenous genes can be present on the chromosomes of the aforementioned cells, or in the nucleus or cytoplasm. The exogenous genes can be detected, for example, by measuring their quantity. When the aforementioned gene is an autosomal gene, there is one of each autosome, therefore two genes are present in one cell. Therefore, if the aforementioned exogenous gene is absent, two of the aforementioned genes can be detected in one cell. On the other hand, when the aforementioned exogenous gene is present, three or more of the aforementioned genes can be detected in one cell. In this case, the exogenous genes can be detected, for example, using PCR with primers, probes, or combinations thereof. When the aforementioned exogenous gene has a tag sequence or a selection marker, the detection of the aforementioned exogenous gene can also be performed by detecting the aforementioned tag sequence or selection marker. Furthermore, for the aforementioned exogenous gene, for example, antibodies can be used to detect the proteins translated from the aforementioned gene.
[0044] The aforementioned megakaryocyte culture is, for example, a culture produced by culturing the aforementioned megakaryocytes. As described below, the aforementioned megakaryocyte culture can be carried out, for example, by culturing the aforementioned megakaryocytes in the presence of a culture medium.
[0045] The aforementioned megakaryocyte culture is a substance obtained by culturing the aforementioned megakaryocytes, and therefore, as a cellular component, it is a mixture containing the aforementioned megakaryocytes and platelets produced by the megakaryocytes. The aforementioned cellular component refers to cells and platelets. As previously mentioned, the aforementioned megakaryocytes can be induced from cells that are undifferentiated compared to the aforementioned megakaryocytes. Therefore, when the megakaryocytes used as a culture for producing the aforementioned megakaryocytes contain megakaryocytes induced from cells that are undifferentiated compared to the aforementioned megakaryocytes, the aforementioned megakaryocyte culture can contain cells that are undifferentiated compared to the aforementioned megakaryocytes.
[0046] In this invention, the aforementioned megakaryocyte culture can be the culture itself obtained by culturing the aforementioned megakaryocytes, or it can be a processed form of the aforementioned culture. Processing of the aforementioned culture may include, for example, the removal of liquid fractions, the extraction of cellular component fractions, and alteration of the composition of cellular components including platelets. Alteration of the aforementioned cellular component composition may include, for example, the removal of cells and / or platelets from the aforementioned mixture, the extraction of cells and / or platelets from the aforementioned mixture, and the addition of cells and / or platelets to the aforementioned mixture.
[0047] The aforementioned "platelets" are one of the cellular components of blood, referring to cellular components that are positive for CD41a and CD42b. For example, platelets lack a nucleus and are smaller in size compared to megakaryocytes. Therefore, platelets and megakaryocytes can be distinguished, for example, based on the presence and / or size of a nucleus. It is known that platelets play an important role in thrombosis and hemostasis, and also participate in tissue regeneration after injury and the pathophysiology of inflammation. Furthermore, it is known that when platelets are activated due to bleeding, they express receptors for cell adhesion factors such as integrin αIIBβ3 (glycoprotein IIb / IIIa; a complex of CD41a and CD61) on their membranes. Additionally, if platelets are activated, they aggregate, and various coagulation factors released from the platelets cause fibrin coagulation, thereby forming a thrombus and achieving hemostasis. In this invention, the source of the aforementioned platelets is the same as the source of the aforementioned megakaryocytes.
[0048] In this invention, the aforementioned processed product can be prepared from the aforementioned megakaryocytes or from a culture of the aforementioned megakaryocytes. Furthermore, when prepared from a culture of the aforementioned megakaryocytes, the culture of the aforementioned megakaryocytes may have undergone processing. Specifically, the aforementioned processed product may be a cell fraction or liquid fraction of the aforementioned megakaryocytes or their culture, or a processed product derived from the aforementioned megakaryocytes or their culture. The processing in the preparation of the aforementioned processed product is not particularly limited; examples include processing that alters the density of cell components, such as concentration, separation, or purification; extraction processing that extracts cell components, such as drying, freezing, freeze-drying, solvent treatment, surfactant treatment, enzyme treatment, or protein fraction extraction; and crushing processing, such as grinding or pulverizing. Specific examples of the aforementioned processed materials include extracts such as concentrates, dried products, frozen products, freeze-dried products, solvent-treated products, surfactant-treated products, enzyme-treated products, protein fractions, and ultrasonically treated products of megakaryocytes or their cultures; ground products, pulverized products, and other fragmented products; extracts of cell fractions of megakaryocytes or their cultures such as concentrates, dried products, frozen products, freeze-dried products, solvent-treated products, surfactant-treated products, enzyme-treated products, protein fractions, and ultrasonically treated products; ground products, pulverized products, and other fragmented products; etc. The aforementioned processed materials may consist of one type of processed material or a mixture of two or more processed materials. There are no particular limitations on the aforementioned mixtures; they can be prepared as mixtures of any combination and ratio of processed materials.
[0049] The aforementioned processed material, for example, contains at least one of one or more growth factors and growth factor receptors. Furthermore, the aforementioned processed material, for example, possesses physiological activities such as cell proliferation-promoting activity. Moreover, as described above, the aforementioned processed material can be manufactured, for example, by treating the aforementioned megakaryocytes or their cultures. Therefore, in this invention, the aforementioned processed material can be specified using, for example, the following conditions (1) to (3). The aforementioned processed material can be specified using, for example, any one of the following conditions (1) to (3), multiple conditions, or all conditions. As a specific example, the aforementioned processed material can be specified using, for example, a combination of conditions.

[0063] The weight of the above total protein can be determined, for example, by the BCA protein quantification method. The BCA protein quantification method is a protein quantification method that utilizes the coordination binding of monovalent copper ions with two molecules of bicinchoninic acid. Samples for the above BCA protein quantification method preferably do not contain a reducing agent and / or a copper ion chelating agent, for example. The BCA protein quantification method can be carried out according to the following Reference 4. For example, commercially available kits can also be used. As the kit for the BCA protein quantification method, Pierce (trademark) BCA Protein Assay Kit (manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific) can be used, etc.

[0065] The total protein concentration in the aforementioned treatment can be appropriately set, for example, based on the number of cells supplied for treatment and the volume of solvent in the treatment. The total protein concentration in the aforementioned treatment can be relatively increased, for example, by increasing the number of cells supplied for treatment, decreasing the volume of solvent in the aforementioned treatment, or by extracting from the aforementioned megakaryocytes.

[0210] (1) Production of immortalized megakaryocytes
[0211] Immortalized megakaryocytes are made in the following order.
[0212] (1-1) Preparation of hematopoietic progenitor cells from iPS cells
[0213] Following the method described in Reference 8 below, differentiation culture of human iPS cells (TKDN SeV2 and NIH5: human embryonic skin fibroblast-derived iPS cells established using Sendai virus) into hematopoietic progenitor cells was performed. Specifically, hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) were produced by co-culturing human ES / iPS cell colonies with C3H10T1 / 2 feeder cells for 14 days in the presence of 20 ng / ml VEGF (manufactured by R&D Systems).

[0274] For cleaning, follow the ACP215 procedure and clean with 2000 ml of the aforementioned cleaning and preservation solution.
[0275] (3-4) Platelet recycling
[0276] Following the ACP215 procedure, 200 ml of washed platelets were collected into a platelet preparation bag.
[0277] (3-5) Platelet separation
[0278] For the aforementioned platelet preparation bags, the aforementioned hollow fiber membrane is used to separate platelets using conventional methods and recycle them into recycling bags.
[0279] (4) Preparation of extracts
[0280] As the aforementioned megakaryocytes or their cultures, the immortalized megakaryocyte line obtained using the method described in (1) above, the platelets recovered into the platelet preparation bag obtained in (3-5) above, and the platelet-free megakaryocyte cultures recovered into the drainage bag (hereinafter collectively referred to as "raw materials") were used. For the platelet-free megakaryocyte cultures, four samples prepared separately (platelet-free megakaryocyte cultures 1-4) were used.
[0281] Each raw material was washed twice with a washing solution. The washing solution was prepared by adding ACD-A liquid to BICANATE infusion at approximately 20% (v / v), followed by the addition of NaOH to adjust the pH to 7.0–7.4. After the washing, each raw material was centrifuged at 2000×g for 10 minutes at room temperature (approximately 25°C). After centrifugation, the precipitate was recovered and frozen using liquid nitrogen. Then, cell lysis buffer was added to the frozen precipitate, and the mixture was shaken at 50 rpm and 4°C for 30 minutes to dissolve it. The cell lysis buffer was prepared by adding a protease inhibitor cocktail (RayBiotech, Cat. No.: AA-LYS) to a commercially available cell lysis buffer (2×Cell Lysis Buffer, Cat. No.: AA-PI).
[0282] The resulting solution was centrifuged at 14000×g for 5 minutes at 4°C. After centrifugation, the supernatant was recovered as the treated product for this example. The total protein concentration of the treated products obtained from each raw material was determined using the Pierce (trademark) BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The results showed that, when using an immortalized megakaryocyte line, the total protein concentration was 2.2×10⁻⁶. 7 2.604 mg of total protein was extracted from each cell. Additionally, when platelets were used, the total protein content was 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ mg. 8 1.187 mg of total protein was extracted from each cell. Furthermore, when platelets were used to remove megakaryocyte cultures 1–4, the total protein content was 1.97 × 10⁻⁴ mg. 8 5.25 × 10 cells 8 3.64 × 10 cells 8 6.22 × 10 cells 8 Total protein was extracted from each cell at concentrations of 2.8, 5.944, 3.6, and 4.496 mg. Furthermore, after adjusting the total protein concentration to 5 mg / ml, the concentrations of growth factors (bFGF, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, PIGF, VEGF, GDF-15, AR, BMP-7, HGF) and growth factor receptors (SCFR, EGFR, VEGFR2) were determined for each treatment using a Quantibody Human Growth Factor Array 1 (Ray Biotech). These results are shown in Table 2 below. It should be noted that Table 2 can also be referred to as the concentration per 5 mg of total protein.

[0286] (5) Confirmation of cell proliferation-promoting activity
[0287] Human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells were prepared at a size of 2.4–4.8 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Cells were seeded in 10cm culture dishes at a rate of 10 cells / 10ml of culture medium / dish. It should be noted that the aforementioned mesenchymal stem cells were obtained by passaged commercially available human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (manufactured by Takara Bio, Cat. No.: C-12977) twice and then recovered. The aforementioned culture medium was prepared by freezing and thawing the composition from platelet-depleted megakaryocyte culture 2 into Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth Medium 2 (manufactured by Takara Bio, Cat. No.: C-28009). The aforementioned composition was added at a specified concentration (0, 125, 250, or 500 μg / ml) of total protein derived from the aforementioned composition in the culture medium. It should be noted that the aforementioned culture medium is a maintenance medium.
[0288] Following the aforementioned inoculation, the aforementioned mesenchymal stem cells were cultured for 3 days at 37°C and 5% CO2. After the aforementioned culture, the aforementioned mesenchymal stem cells were recovered, inoculated under the same conditions, and cultured again at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 3 days. Next, the cultured mesenchymal cells were recovered, and the cell count was counted. Furthermore, the relative value of the cell count at recovery (based on the cell count at the time of inoculation) was calculated and used as the relative value of proliferative activity. In addition, based on the cell count at the time of inoculation and the cell count at recovery, the time required for one cell proliferation (doubling time) was calculated. These results are presented in... Figure 2 .
[0289] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating the proliferative activity of cells. Figure 2 In the diagram, (A) shows the proliferation activity, and (B) shows the doubling time. Figure 2 In (A), the horizontal axis represents the total protein concentration from the aforementioned composition, and the vertical axis represents the relative value of proliferative activity. Figure 2 In (B), the horizontal axis represents the total protein concentration from the aforementioned composition, and the vertical axis represents the doubling time. The values in the figure represent the doubling time. Figure 2As shown in (A), when the composition of the present invention is added, the proliferative activity of mesenchymal stem cells increases dependently on the concentration of total protein derived from the aforementioned composition. Furthermore, although not illustrated, in mesenchymal stem cells without the aforementioned composition, the doubling time after the third passage is 21 hours. Figure 2 As shown in (B), without the addition of the composition of the present invention, the doubling time of mesenchymal stem cells is extended to approximately 1.5 times. In contrast, as... Figure 2 As shown in (B), when the composition of the present invention is added, the time required for mesenchymal stem cells to proliferate once is shortened, depending on the total protein concentration derived from the aforementioned composition. Furthermore, when cultured in a medium without the composition of the present invention, the doubling time of mesenchymal stem cells at the passage number is prolonged. In contrast, when the composition of the present invention is added, the aforementioned prolongation of doubling time is substantially suppressed. Therefore, it can be seen that the composition of the present invention exhibits cell proliferation-promoting activity and is able to inhibit the reduction of proliferation activity.
[0290] [Example 2]
[0291] The composition of the present invention has been confirmed to have cell proliferation promoting activity.
[0292] As the aforementioned mesenchymal stem cells, after two passage cultures, they were recovered and cryopreserved. Cells that had been thawed and passaged once were added to the maintenance medium to achieve a specified total protein concentration (0, 0.2, 1.3, 31.3, 62.5, or 125 μg / ml). Otherwise, as in Example 1(5), proliferation activity and doubling time were calculated. These results are presented in… Figure 3 .
[0293] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating the proliferative activity of cells. Figure 3 In the diagram, (A) shows the proliferation activity, and (B) shows the doubling time. Figure 3 In (A), the horizontal axis represents the total protein concentration from the aforementioned composition, and the vertical axis represents the relative value of proliferative activity. Figure 3 In (B), the horizontal axis represents the total protein concentration from the aforementioned composition, and the vertical axis represents the doubling time. For example... Figure 3 As shown in (A), when the composition of the present invention is added, the proliferative activity of mesenchymal stem cells increases with increasing total protein concentration derived from the aforementioned composition; in particular, when the total protein concentration is 31.3 μg / ml or higher, the proliferative activity of mesenchymal stem cells increases significantly. Furthermore, although not illustrated, in mesenchymal stem cells without the aforementioned composition, the doubling time after the third passage is 17 hours. Figure 3As shown in (B), without the addition of the composition of the present invention, the doubling time of mesenchymal stem cells is extended to approximately 1.5 times. In contrast, as... Figure 3 As shown in (B), when the composition of the present invention is added, the time required for mesenchymal stem cells to proliferate once is shortened depending on the total protein concentration from which the composition is derived. In particular, when the total protein concentration is 31.3 μg / ml or higher, the time required for mesenchymal stem cells to proliferate once is significantly shortened. Furthermore, when cultured in a medium without the composition of the present invention, the doubling time of mesenchymal stem cells at passage number is prolonged. In contrast, when the composition of the present invention is added, the aforementioned prolongation of doubling time is substantially suppressed, and this effect is significant when the total protein concentration from which the composition is derived is 31.3 μg / ml or higher. Therefore, it can be seen that the composition of the present invention exhibits cell proliferation-promoting activity and is able to inhibit the reduction of proliferation activity.
[0294] [Example 3]
[0295] The composition of the present invention has been confirmed to have fibroblast function-promoting activity.
[0296] (1) Culture of fibroblasts
[0297] Normal human skin fibroblasts (nHDF, KURABO, Cat. No.: KF-4109) were awakened in T-75 flasks (Sumilon) using proliferation medium and cultured in a CO2 incubator under specified conditions (5% CO2, 37°C, humid conditions, as described below). The aforementioned proliferation medium was DMEM medium (Nacalai Tesque, Cat. No.: 08456-65) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: 172012) and 1% penicillin / streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No.: 15140-122). The medium was changed every 1–2 days during the culture. At approximately 80% confluence, the cells were harvested for subsequent experiments. The cells were passaged as described below. First, the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (- / -) (Nacalai Tesque, Cat. No.: 14249-95), and then dissected using a stripping solution (2.5 g / L Trypsin / 1 mmol / L EDTA solution, with Phenol Red (0.25% Trypsin-EDTA), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No.: 32777-44). Growth medium was then added to neutralize the trypsin. Next, the cell suspension was transferred to 15 ml centrifuge tubes and centrifuged (room temperature, 1000 rpm, 5 minutes) using a multi-functional chilled centrifuge (TOMY, Cat. No.: CAX-571). After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, fresh growth medium was added, and the cells were agitated. The viable cell count was performed using the trypan blue assay. The cells were then adjusted to the target cell concentration using the aforementioned growth medium and seeded in the culture vessels used in subsequent experiments.
[0298] (2) Confirmation of the cell proliferation-promoting activity of fibroblasts
[0299] For the aforementioned cells, at 5 × 10 3Cells were seeded at a density of 0.1 ml / well in 96-well plates (Sumilon, Cat. No.: MS-8096F) and cultured for 1 day under the aforementioned conditions. After the aforementioned culture, the culture medium was replaced with DMEM medium containing a composition prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte culture (MDF) or platelet (PLT) at the specified concentrations (total protein concentration of 5 mg / ml, as in Examples 4 and 5). Thus, the concentrations of total protein derived from the aforementioned composition in the culture medium were 25 μg / ml (0.5%), 50 μg / ml (1%), 125 μg / ml (2.5%), 250 μg / ml (5%), and 500 μg / ml (10%) (hereinafter the same). It should be noted that the composition prepared from platelet-depleted megakaryocyte culture uses two types (iMDF1 and iMDF2). After the aforementioned culture medium was replaced, the culture was incubated for 48 hours.
[0300] Following the aforementioned culture, the proliferation activity of cells in each well was determined by measuring the number of viable cells using the WST-8 assay. First, the culture medium was replaced with DMEM containing 10% chromogenic reagent (Cell Count Reagent SF, Nacalai Tesque, Cat. No.: 07553-15), and incubation was performed under the aforementioned conditions. Changes in absorbance (450 nm) were measured using a microplate reader (Varioskan Flash, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No.: 5250040) over a 60-minute period from 30 to 90 minutes after the start of incubation (n=3 for each group). The negative control (NC) was performed in the same manner except that the aforementioned composition was not added. For the positive control (FBS), FBS was added at 1% or 10% instead of the aforementioned composition, and the same procedure was followed. Furthermore, in the reference examples (ASA, Mes), instead of the aforementioned compositions, L-ascorbic acid (L-Ascorbic Acid (ASA), manufactured by Fujifilm-Wako, Cat. No.: 013-19641), which has collagen production-promoting activity, was added at a concentration of 2 mmol / L, or N-methyl-L-serine (N-Methyl-L-serine (MeS), manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: 73156), which has hyaluronic acid production-promoting activity, was added at a concentration of 10 mmol / L, and the same procedures were followed otherwise. Additionally, the cell survival rate in the negative control was set to 100%, and the cell survival rate of each sample was set as a relative proliferation activity value. Furthermore, a p-value less than 0.05 in the Student's T-test (two-tailed, unpaired test) compared to the negative control was considered significant. These results are presented below... Figure 4 .
[0301] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating the proliferative activity of fibroblasts. Figure 4 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the type and concentration of the sample, and the vertical axis represents cell viability (proliferative activity). For example... Figure 4 As shown, a concentration-dependent cell proliferation-promoting effect was observed in all compositions containing either the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT, PLTMax Human Platelet Lysate, manufactured by EMD Millipore, Cat. No.: SCM141). Furthermore, it is believed that the cell proliferation-promoting activity of the compositions of the present invention is higher than that of FBS at the same concentration.
[0302] (3) Confirmation of the activity promoting the production of extracellular matrix
[0303] After 48 hours of incubation in Example 3(2), the culture supernatant of each well was recovered and stored at -80°C for use in the type I collagen and hyaluronic acid production promotion test described later.
[0304] Next, the amount of type I collagen in the aforementioned culture supernatant (n=3 for each group) was measured using a type I collagen assay kit (Human Collagen type I, ELISA kit (without pepsin), manufactured by ACEL, Cat. No.: EC1-E105). Additionally, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the aforementioned culture supernatant was measured using a hyaluronic acid assay kit (Hyaluronan DuoSet ELISA, manufactured by R&D Systems, Cat. No.: DY3614). The assay methods for each kit were performed according to the accompanying protocol. The negative control (NC) was performed in the same manner except that the aforementioned composition was not added. For the FBS addition group (FBS), the procedure was performed in the same manner as in Example 3(2). In the positive controls (ASA or Mes), for the samples used in the type I collagen assay, L-ascorbic acid (L-Ascorbic Acid (ASA), manufactured by Fujifilm-Wako, Cat. No.: 013-19641), which promotes collagen production, was added at a concentration of 2 mmol / L instead of the aforementioned composition. For the samples used in the hyaluronic acid assay, N-methyl-L-serine (N-Methyl-L-serine (MeS), manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: 73156), which promotes hyaluronic acid production, was added at a concentration of 10 mmol / L instead of the aforementioned composition. Otherwise, the procedure was performed in the same manner. Furthermore, a p-value less than 0.05 in the Student's t-test (two-tailed, unpaired) compared to the negative control was considered significant. These results are presented in... Figure 5 and Figure 6 .
[0305] Figure 5 This is a graph showing the amount of type I collagen produced. Figure 5 In the graph, the horizontal axis represents the type of sample, and the vertical axis represents the amount of type I collagen produced. It should be noted that the ASA values in the graph represent the collagen production amount (μg / ml) in the reference example (ASA). Figure 5As shown, in any case of platelet-derived megakaryocyte culture or platelet-prepared composition, a concentration-dependent increase in type I collagen production was observed. It is speculated that the aforementioned type I collagen production-promoting activity, compared to the cell proliferation-promoting activity results of Example 3(2), is due to cell proliferation-promoting activity.
[0306] then, Figure 6 This is a graph showing the amount of hyaluronic acid produced. Figure 6 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the type and concentration of the sample, and the vertical axis represents the amount of hyaluronic acid produced. For example... Figure 6 As shown, in any of the aforementioned compositions prepared by removing megakaryocyte cultures from platelets or platelets, a concentration-dependent increase in hyaluronic acid production was observed. It is speculated that, compared to the aforementioned cell proliferation-promoting activity, the aforementioned hyaluronic acid production-promoting activity is an activity independent of cell proliferation-promoting activity; that is, the compositions of the present invention act on fibroblasts and promote hyaluronic acid production.
[0307] The results above indicate that the composition of the present invention possesses fibroblast proliferation-promoting activity and activity promoting the production of extracellular matrix components such as type I collagen and hyaluronic acid. In cases of skin or other skin disorders, the aforementioned fibroblasts migrate to the site of the disorder and contribute to its healing through cell division and secretion of extracellular matrix components. The composition of the present invention promotes these functions of fibroblasts, and therefore is expected to promote the healing of skin disorders.
[0308] [Example 4]
[0309] The compositions of the present invention have been confirmed to have keratinocyte function-promoting activity.
[0310] (1) Culture of keratinocytes
[0311] Normal human epidermal keratinocytes (nHEK, KURABO, Cat. No.: KK-4109) were awakened in T-75 flasks (Sumilon) using proliferation medium and cultured in a CO2 incubator under specified conditions (5% CO2, 37°C, humid conditions, as described below). The proliferation medium used was Humedia-KG2 medium (KURABO, Cat. No.: KK-2150S). The medium was changed every 1–2 days. At approximately 80% confluence, the cells were harvested for subsequent experiments. Cell passage was performed as described below. First, the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (- / -) (Nacalai Tesque, Cat. No.: 14249-95), and then dissected using a stripping solution (2.5 g / L Trypsin / 1 mmol / L EDTA Solution, with Phenol Red (0.25% Trypsin-EDTA), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No.: 32777-44). Growth medium was then added to neutralize trypsin. Next, the cell suspension was transferred to 15 ml centrifuge tubes and centrifuged (room temperature, 1000 rpm, 5 minutes) using a multi-functional chilled centrifuge (TOMY, Cat. No.: CAX-571). After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, fresh growth medium was added, and the cells were agitated. The viable cell count was performed using the trypan blue assay. The cells were then adjusted to the target cell concentration using the aforementioned growth medium and seeded in the culture vessels used in subsequent experiments.
[0312] (2) Confirmation of cell proliferation-promoting activity of keratinocytes
[0313] For the aforementioned cells, at 1×10 3 Cells were seeded at a density of 0.1 ml / well in 96-well plates (Sumilon, Cat. No.: MS-8096F) and cultured for 1 day under the aforementioned conditions. After the above culture, the medium was replaced with maintenance medium (Humedia-KB2, KURABO, Cat. No.: KK-2350S) containing a composition prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT) at the specified concentrations (treatment concentrations for each test substance: 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%) to achieve the specified concentrations. It should be noted that two compositions were used to prepare the platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures. After the medium replacement, the cells were cultured for 48 hours.
[0314] After the aforementioned culture, the morphology of each cell in each well was observed using a phase-contrast microscope (OLYMPUS, Cat. No.: CKX53). Additionally, the change in absorbance (450 nm) was measured for each cell in each well, similar to Example 3(2) above (n=3 for each group). The negative control (NC) was performed in the same manner except that the aforementioned composition was not added. For the positive control (additive), the aforementioned proliferation medium was used instead of the maintenance medium containing the aforementioned composition, and the procedure was performed in the same manner. Furthermore, for the reference examples (JTC or NA), instead of the aforementioned composition, JTC-801 (JTC, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: J3955, final concentration 100 nmol / l) with FLG gene expression-promoting activity or nicotinamide (NA, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: N0636-100G, final concentration 30 μmol / l) with SPTLC1 gene expression-promoting activity was added, and the procedure was performed in the same manner. In addition, cell survival rate in the negative control was set to 100%, and cell survival rate in each sample was set as a relative proliferation activity value. Furthermore, a p-value less than 0.05 in the Student's T-test (two-tailed, unpaired) compared to the negative control was considered significant. These results are presented in... Figure 7 and Figure 8 .
[0315] Figure 7 These are photographs showing the phase difference images of the cells in each well. It should be noted that, for groups supplemented with compositions prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT), an example of the 10% supplementation group is shown as a representative example. Figure 7 As shown, in the negative control, the boundaries of keratinocytes were well-defined, and no differentiation into cells (epidermal cells) reaching the epithelial (epidermal) layer was observed. On the other hand, in the compositions prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT), keratinocytes extended on the well plate, and the cell boundaries became unclear. This is due to the differentiation of keratinocytes into cells (epidermal cells) of the epithelial (epidermal) layer. Furthermore, in the cases of compositions prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT), the proportion of cells in the epithelial (epidermal) layer increased in a concentration-dependent manner; in particular, a significant increase was observed when using the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2). These results indicate that the compositions of the present invention promote the differentiation of keratinocytes into cells of the epithelial layer.
[0316] Figure 8 This is a diagram illustrating the proliferative activity of keratinocytes. Figure 8 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the type and concentration of the sample, and the vertical axis represents cell viability (proliferative activity). For example... Figure 8 As shown, cell proliferation promotion was observed when any of the compositions prepared by adding platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT) was added. Furthermore, it is believed that the cell proliferation promotion activity of the compositions of the present invention is higher than that of FBS at the same concentration.
[0317] (3) Confirmation of the induction-promoting activity of barrier function genes
[0318] With 5×10 4 Keratinocytes were seeded at a density of 0.5 ml / well in 24-well plates (Sumilon, Cat. No.: MS-8024) and cultured otherwise in the same manner as in Example 4(2). After the culture, total RNA was recovered and purified from the cells using an RNA extraction kit (RNeasy 96 Kit, QIAGEN, Cat. No.: 74181). RNA extraction was performed according to the protocol provided with the kit. The concentration of the purified RNA was determined using a spectrophotometer (NanoDrop One, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No.: ND-ONE-W), and purity was confirmed by A260 / A280. The purified RNA was stored at -80°C until used for reverse transcription.
[0319] cDNA was synthesized from the purified RNA using a reverse transcription kit (QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit, QIAGEN). The reverse transcription reaction was performed according to the protocol provided with the kit. The resulting cDNA was stored at -30°C. Quantitative PCR was then performed using the obtained cDNA, primer pairs for the GAPDH, FLG, or SPTLC1 genes described below, and a qPCR kit (TB Green Premix Ex Taq II (Tli RNaseH Plus), Takara, Cat. No.: RR820A). The PCR reaction was performed by heating at 95°C for 30 seconds, followed by 40 cycles of 95°C, 5 seconds, 60°C, and 30 seconds as one cycle, to dissociate the PCR product. The qPCR was performed using a qPCR device (LightCycler96 Instrument, Roche, Cat. No.: 05815916001). The negative control (NC) was performed in the same manner except that the aforementioned composition was not added. In the positive control (JTC or NA), the sample used for the FLG gene expression assay was replaced with JTC-801 (JTC, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: J3955), which has FLG gene expression-promoting activity, at a concentration of 100 nmol / L, instead of the aforementioned composition. The sample used for the SPTLC1 gene expression assay was replaced with nicotinamide (NA, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: N0636-100G), which has SPTLC1 gene expression-promoting activity, at a concentration of 30 μmol / L, instead of the aforementioned composition. All other procedures were performed in the same manner. Additionally, groups with added additives were prepared for both the negative and positive controls and performed similarly. The expression levels of each gene, corrected for GAPDH gene expression, were calculated using the ΔΔCt method from the obtained assay data. Furthermore, the relative expression level with the negative control expression level set to 1 was calculated. A p-value less than 0.05 in Student's t-test (two-sided, unpaired) compared to the negative control was considered significant. These results are presented in... Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

Figure 9 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the type and concentration of the sample, and the vertical axis represents the expression level of the FLG gene. For example... Figure 9 As shown, when any of the compositions prepared by adding platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT) was added, a promoting effect on FLG gene expression was observed. Furthermore, it is believed that the FLG gene expression-promoting activity of the compositions of the present invention is higher than that of JTC801 as a positive control at the same concentration.
[0336] then, Figure 10 This is a graph showing the expression level of the SPTLC1 gene. Figure 10 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the type and concentration of the sample, and the vertical axis represents the expression level of the SPTLC1 gene. For example... Figure 10 As shown, when any of the compositions prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT) were added, a promoting effect on SPTLC1 gene expression was observed. Furthermore, it is believed that the SPTLC1 gene expression-promoting activity of the compositions of the present invention is higher than that of nicotinamide (NA) as a positive control at the same concentration.
[0337] The results above indicate that the composition of the present invention possesses keratinocyte proliferation-promoting activity, promotes differentiation into epidermal cells, and promotes the expression of barrier function genes such as FLG and SPTLC1. It is known that the aforementioned keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation into epidermal cells, and induction of barrier function gene expression are important for skin tissue and the maintenance of its barrier function. Therefore, since the composition of the present invention promotes these functions of keratinocytes, it is expected to be used for maintaining skin function, maintaining skin barrier function, and other skin conditioning purposes.
[0338] [Example 5]
[0339] The composition of the present invention has been confirmed to have dermal papilla cell function-promoting activity.
[0340] (1) Culture of dermal papilla cells
[0341] Human hair dermal papilla cells (HFDPC, TOYOBO, Cat. No.: CA60205a) were awakened in T-75 flasks (Sumilon) using proliferation medium and cultured in a CO2 incubator under specified conditions (5% CO2, 37°C, humid conditions, as described below). The aforementioned proliferation medium was prepared by adding accompanying additives to dermal papilla cell proliferation medium (PCGM, TOYOBO, Cat. No.: TMTPGM-250S). The medium was changed every 1–2 days. At approximately 80% confluence, the cells were harvested for subsequent experiments. The cells were passaged as described below. First, the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (- / -) (Nacalai Tesque, Cat. No.: 14249-95), and then dissected using a stripping solution (2.5 g / L Trypsin / 1 mmol / L EDTA solution, with Phenol Red (0.25% Trypsin-EDTA), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No.: 32777-44). Growth medium was then added to neutralize the trypsin. Next, the cell suspension was transferred to 15 ml centrifuge tubes and centrifuged (room temperature, 1000 rpm, 5 minutes) using a multi-functional chilled centrifuge (TOMY, Cat. No.: CAX-571). After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, fresh growth medium was added, and the cells were agitated. The viable cell count was performed using the trypan blue assay. The cells were then adjusted to the target cell concentration using the aforementioned growth medium and seeded in the culture vessels used in subsequent experiments.
[0342] (2) Confirmation of cell proliferation-promoting activity of dermal papilla cells
[0343] For the aforementioned cells, at 5 × 10 3 0.1 ml of cells per well was seeded in 96-well plates (Sumilon, Cat. No.: MS-8096F) and cultured for 1 day under the aforementioned conditions. After the culture, the medium was replaced with dermal papilla cell proliferation medium containing the composition prepared from the aforementioned platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures (iMDF1, iMDF2) or platelets (PLT) at the specified concentrations (treatment concentrations for each test substance: 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%). It should be noted that two compositions were used from the platelet-depleted megakaryocyte cultures. After the medium replacement, the cells were cultured for 48 hours.
[0344] Following the aforementioned culture, for each well, the change in absorbance (450 nm) was measured, similarly to (2) of Example 3 above (n=3 for each group). The negative control (NC) was performed in the same manner except that the aforementioned composition was not added. For the positive control (additive), a dermal papilla cell proliferation medium containing the aforementioned additive was used, and the procedure was performed in the same manner otherwise. In the reference examples (Mx or Ad), minoxidil (Minoxidil (Mx), manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: M4145, final concentration 30 μmol / l) or adenosine (Ad), manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No.: A9251, final concentration 100 μmol / l), known as hair growth agents, was added instead of the aforementioned composition, and the procedure was performed in the same manner otherwise. In addition, the cell viability in the negative control was set to 100%, and the cell viability of each sample was set as a relative proliferation activity value. Furthermore, a p-value less than 0.05 in the Student's T-test (two-tailed, unpaired) compared to the negative control will be considered significant. These results are presented in... Figure 11 .

Furthermore, a recommended addition amount of 2.5–5% was suggested.
[0346] (3) Confirmation of the induction and promotion activity of hair growth promoting genes
[0347] With 2.5×10 4The dermal papilla cells were seeded at a density of 0.5 ml / well in 24-well plates (Sumilon, Cat. No.: MS-8024), and otherwise cultured in the same manner as in Example 5 (2). After the culture, cDNA was synthesized in the same manner as in Example 4 (3).
[0348] Next, qPCR was performed using primer pairs for the aforementioned GAPDH gene, the FGF7 gene described below, or the VEGFA gene, in the same manner as in Example 4 (3) above. The negative control was performed in the same manner except that the aforementioned composition was not added. In the reference example, minoxidil (manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich, Cat.

No.: A9251, final concentration 100 μmol / l), known as hair growth agents, was added instead of the aforementioned composition, and the procedure was performed in the same manner. The expression levels of each gene, corrected for the expression level of the GAPDH gene, were calculated using the ΔΔCt method from the obtained assay data, and then the relative expression level with the negative control expression level set to 1 was calculated. A p-value less than 0.05 in the Student's T-test (two-sided, unpaired) compared to the negative control was considered significant. These results are presented in… Figure 12 and Figure 13 .
