Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of skin biology, and in particular relates to an immune cell-based raw material screening model and its application in screening sensitive skin raw materials. Background Art
[0002] Sensitive skin (SS) refers specifically to a highly reactive state of the skin under physiological or pathological conditions, mainly occurring on the face. Clinically, the skin is prone to subjective symptoms such as burning, stinging, itching, and tightness when stimulated by physical, chemical, or mental factors, with or without objective signs such as erythema, scaling, and capillary dilation.
[0003] The main characteristic of sensitive skin is a series of unpleasant subjective sensations (such as stinging, burning, pain, itching, tingling, etc.) induced by usually harmless endogenous or exogenous factors, emphasizing subjectivity and responsiveness. Sensitive skin may affect the skin all over the body, but it is particularly common on the face. The appearance of the affected skin may be normal or accompanied by objective symptoms such as erythema. Although the definition points out that the symptoms of sensitive skin cannot be fully explained by the lesions of other skin diseases, many skin diseases may be accompanied by symptoms of sensitive skin, and the pathogenesis is somewhat related. Sensitive skin can be considered as a skin manifestation of inflammatory skin diseases or systemic diseases.
[0004] There are many reasons for sensitive skin, including race, gender, skin type, and the physiological health of the skin. For example, generally speaking, women are more sensitive to skin irritation than men. This may be because women's skin has a higher pH value and a poorer buffering capacity for irritation. Reed et al. conducted research based on the 6-type skin classification method and believed that skin barrier function is related to skin type, but not to race or gender. Current research believes that the occurrence of sensitive skin is a complex process involving the skin barrier, neurovascular system, and immune inflammation. Under the interaction of internal and external factors, the skin barrier function is damaged, causing an increase in sensory nerve afferent signals, resulting in increased skin reactivity to external stimuli and triggering a skin immune inflammatory response.
[0005] Numerous in vitro models, such as 2D / 3D cell culture, reconstructed human epidermis, reconstructed full-thickness human skin, ex vivo skin biopsies, and skin chips, have been proposed for screening active ingredients in cosmetics. Due to restrictions on animal use, the use of animal models for verifying the safety and efficacy of personal care products is avoided. Single-cell lineage-based systems lack intercellular communication with other cell types, and the lack of a multilayered epidermis in 2D culture systems limits the testing of skin barrier function. In vitro reconstructed epidermis, composed of human keratinocytes, is a three-dimensional reconstructed model with a structure and function similar to native human skin and is widely used in dermatological research and irritation assessment. It combines the physiological properties of skin, including its barrier function, three-dimensional structure, and immune response, in a single system. However, it is impossible to generate a true immune response in epidermal models. Ex vivo skin biopsies can reveal the essential components of skin, but the variability and limitations of skin donors are major issues and limitations. Consequently, few established models of sensitive skin exist. Summary of the Invention

The raw material screening model is a mast cell RBL-2H3 cell line and an epidermal model Episkin TM The present invention innovatively co-cultivates immune cells with a 3D epidermal model to simulate sensitive skin caused by a sensitive immune system in a real environment, thereby addressing the lack of an effective model for screening sensitive skin in the market.

[0097] Figure 6 It was found that compared with the negative control group (NC), the model control group (M) had a reduced number of viable cell layers (reduced epidermal model thickness), indicating that the inflammatory response triggered by C48 / 80 on mast cells inhibited the epidermal model. Compared with the model control group (M), the positive control group (PC) and the sample group (healing composition) had clear boundaries in the four-layer structure of the model, compact cell arrangement, and an increased number of viable cell layers, indicating that the positive control and the sample (healing composition) had an effect on ameliorating the inflammatory stimulation caused by C48 / 80.

[0142] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is only that the experimental process is different.
[0143] (1) Preparation of epidermal model: TM The cells were transferred to a culture plate containing maintenance culture medium (serum-free culture medium provided with the epidermal model) and cultured in an incubator overnight.
[0144] (2) Co-culture: The epidermal model prepared in step (1) (area 1.07 cm 2 ) Culture for 1 hour to obtain culture medium.
[0145] (3) Drug exposure: After removing the culture medium, add the drugs to be tested into the co-culture system according to the groups in Table 2 and incubate in the incubator for 12 h;
[0146] (4) Cell activation: The drug solution to be tested was aspirated, and 2 mL of culture medium containing 10 μg / mL C48 / 80 was added to each group except the negative control group, and the cells were placed in an incubator for 2 h.
[0147] (5) Post-incubation: Replace with fresh culture medium and culture in an incubator for 24 hours.
[0148] (6) Collecting the culture medium: The supernatant was collected by centrifugation at 10,000°C for 10 min and stored at -80°C. The TNF-α expression level was determined using an ELISA kit according to the instructions. The results are shown in Table 13.
[0149] Table 13 Comparative Example 2 Comparison of TNF-α differences in different groups (Mean ± SD)
[0150] Group TNF-α content (pg / mL) Relative content (%) Negative control group (NC) 41.19±3.91* 79.69±7.57* Model control group (M) 51.67±3.24# 100.00±6.27# Positive control group (PC) 46.08±3.74* 89.15±7.24* Sample group (TA) 50.20±2.95# 97.12±5.71#
[0151] Note: In Table 13, # indicates that the difference is statistically significant compared with the negative control group (p<0.05); * indicates that the difference is statistically significant compared with the model control group (p<0.05).
[0152] In Comparative Example 2, the model control group, positive control group, and sample group showed statistically significant differences compared with the negative control group. The differences between the model control group and the positive control group were statistically significant, but the differences between the model control group and the sample group were not statistically significant, indicating that the screening model provided in Comparative Example 2 cannot be used for screening raw materials suitable for sensitive skin.
[0153] The above detailed description is a specific description of one feasible embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that any equivalent implementation or modification that does not depart from the present invention should be included within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent of this invention should be based on the attached requirements.
