Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cosmetics, and more specifically, relates to a combined method for evaluating the in vitro anti-acne efficacy of cosmetic raw materials. Background Art
[0002] Acne is a chronic skin disease that is common on the face, chest and back, and is mainly manifested as acne, papules, nodules or cysts. Due to the current situation of people generally experiencing increased stress, disordered work and rest, high-sugar and high-fat diet, improper skin cleaning or genetics, the incidence of acne is relatively high. According to research, more than 82% of people will have acne to varying degrees. The pain and discomfort associated with acne, as well as the erythema, residual skin lesions and scars that may be caused by subsequent inflammatory lesions, will bring a great physical and mental burden to patients.
[0003] At present, the exact pathogenesis of acne has not been fully elucidated, but relevant experts generally believe that the main factors causing acne are: 1. Excessive secretion of oil by sebaceous glands; 2. Abnormal keratinization of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles; 3. Colonization of hair follicle microorganisms such as Propionibacterium acnes; 4. Inflammation and immune response. In addition to conventional drug treatment, the reasonable use of anti-acne functional skin care products on a daily basis can also help to achieve the effect of auxiliary prevention and treatment of acne.
[0004] Traditional in vivo efficacy evaluation of anti-acne raw materials is mainly achieved through animal models, including rabbit ear models, rat models, Mexican hairless dog models, etc., because the above evaluation methods are too expensive and have not been promoted. However, the cosmetics industry is currently actively promoting the "3R" principle of animal testing, and the use of cosmetics for in vitro anti-acne operations is simple and easy, and is highly praised by consumers. A large number of literature shows that Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus are widely present in lipids on the surface of human skin and are important pathogens of acne. They can release hormones related to sebum secretion, and can also damage the integrity of epidermal cells to cause excessive keratinization and form acne. At the same time, acne is also closely related to inflammation and tissue damage. After keratinocytes are stimulated by Propionibacterium acnes, the expression of Toll-like receptors, especially TLR2 and TLR4, increases, which can activate downstream signaling pathways and induce the production of chemokines and cellular inflammatory factors. A large number of inflammatory mediators are found in all stages of acne. As the main source of acne, in the early stage of acne, the lesion first produces pro-inflammatory factors, which prompt various inflammatory cells to gather locally in the lesion, and then produce a large number of inflammatory factors under the action of microorganisms, triggering a series of inflammatory reactions. The production of inflammation can also directly lead to pigmentation after acne formation, forming acne marks. Therefore, anti-acne functional cosmetics need to achieve the desired effect by improving the inhibition of related bacteria during the occurrence of acne, related downstream reactions after bacterial stimulation, and abnormal sebum secretion and inflammatory reactions throughout the occurrence of acne.
[0005] There are some existing evaluation methods for the anti-acne efficacy of cosmetics and their raw materials, such as: the patent application with application number CN202210890208.X discloses an in vitro reconstructed epidermal model and construction method of an acne-like phenotype, the defects of which are that the construction time of the in vitro reconstructed epidermal model is long, the cultivation difficulty and cost are high; the patent application with application number CN202310542376.4 discloses an in vitro acne inflammation model and construction method, the in vitro acne inflammation model used is a single cell model, the evaluation means are relatively single, and missed screening may occur. It is obvious that the above-mentioned in vitro anti-acne efficacy evaluation model of cosmetic raw materials has the problem that the efficacy evaluation is not comprehensive enough, the implementation cost is high, and it is easy to have wrong screening and missed screening.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a combined method for evaluating the in vitro anti-acne efficacy of cosmetic raw materials to solve the technical problems of the existing in vitro anti-acne efficacy evaluation model for cosmetic raw materials, such as high implementation cost, incomplete efficacy evaluation, and easy misscreening and missed screening. This will help to achieve a more comprehensive development and screening of anti-acne cosmetic raw materials under the premise of high throughput. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the main purpose of the present invention is to propose a combined method for evaluating the in vitro anti-acne efficacy of cosmetic raw materials, aiming to solve at least one technical problem of the existing in vitro anti-acne efficacy evaluation model of cosmetic raw materials, namely, high implementation cost, incomplete efficacy evaluation, and easy occurrence of misscreening and missed screening.
[0008] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a combined method for evaluating the anti-acne efficacy of cosmetic raw materials in vitro, the combined method comprising the following steps: Step S1: Establishing an in vitro antibacterial efficacy model for the cosmetic raw material to be evaluated and scoring it, where the score is recorded as T1; Step S2: establishing an in vitro keratinocyte anti-acne model for the cosmetic raw material to be evaluated and scoring the model, wherein the score is recorded as T2; Step S3: establishing an in vitro sebaceous gland cell oil control model for the cosmetic raw material to be evaluated and scoring it, where the score is recorded as T3; Step S4: establishing a model for the anti-inflammatory and soothing effect of the RAW264.7 macrophages of the cosmetic raw material to be evaluated and scoring the model, wherein the score is recorded as T4; Step S5: Calculate the total score and give the in vitro anti-acne efficacy evaluation result of the cosmetic raw material. The total score calculation formula is as follows: ;in, a1 is the scoring weight coefficient of the in vitro antibacterial efficacy model, a2 is the scoring weight coefficient of the in vitro keratinocyte anti-acne model, a3 is the scoring weight coefficient of the in vitro sebaceous gland cell oil control model, and a4 is the scoring weight coefficient of the RAW264.7 macrophage anti-inflammatory and soothing effect model. Here, a1, a2, a3, and a4 are all 0.25; if the total score T is not less than the preset score, the in vitro anti-acne efficacy evaluation result of the cosmetic raw material is valid, and the preset score is 0.5.
[0009] Preferably, the step S1 comprises: Step S11: Stably culturing Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus; Step S12: setting test tubes for cosmetic raw material test substance groups and test tubes for positive control groups, wherein each group of test tubes for the cosmetic raw material test substance groups consists of test tubes No. 1 to No. 9, and the sterilized MH culture medium is divided into test tubes No. 1 to No. 9 of the cosmetic raw material test substance group, and 3840 μg / mL of the cosmetic raw material test substance is added to test tube No. 1 of the cosmetic raw material test substance group, and test tubes No. 2 to No. 7 are sequentially added with the cosmetic raw material test substance diluted by half, and test tubes No. 8 to No. 9 are not added with the cosmetic raw material test substance, then tube No. 8 is the negative control, and tube No. 9 is the blank control; in the positive control group, the cosmetic raw material test substances in test tubes No. 1 to No. 7 of the raw material test substance group are replaced with antibiotics; Step S13: The activated strains of Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus were prepared into bacterial suspensions with physiological saline, and added to test tubes 1 to 8 of different cosmetic raw material test groups, respectively. After culturing for 18 to 24 hours, 100 μL of liquid was taken from test tubes 1 to 9 of the cosmetic raw material test group to a 96-well cell culture plate to measure the OD600nm absorbance, and the relative antibacterial rate of the cosmetic raw material test at each concentration was calculated. The calculation formula of the relative antibacterial rate is as follows: Relative inhibition rate = [1-(As-Ab) / (Ac-Ab)] × 100%, where: As is the average absorbance of the liquid in the well plate, which involves the liquid taken out from test tubes 1 to 7 of the cosmetic raw material test group; Ac is the average absorbance of the liquid in the negative control well, which involves the liquid taken out from test tube 8; Ab is the average absorbance of the blank control well, which involves the liquid taken out from test tube 9; Step S14: Calculate the As value of the liquid taken out of each tube, and calculate the relative inhibition rate value of the corresponding test substance against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus. For Propionibacterium acnes or Staphylococcus aureus, if the relative inhibition rate corresponding to any test tube from 2 to 4 is less than 40%, 0 points are assigned; if 40%≤the relative inhibition rate corresponding to any test tube from 2 to 4 is less than 80%, 0.3 points are assigned; if the relative inhibition rate corresponding to any test tube from 2 to 4 is ≥80%, 1 point is assigned; when the sum of the points assigned to the cosmetic raw material test substance in any test tube from 2 to 4 against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus is greater than 0.5 points, T1 is 1 point.
[0010] It should be noted that the reason for selecting test tubes 2 to 4 of the cosmetic raw material test substance group (i.e., the concentration of the cosmetic raw material test substances is 480μg / mL to 1920μg / mL) as the basis for considering the relative inhibition rate and then scoring the in vitro antibacterial efficacy model of cosmetic raw materials is that the concentrations of the cosmetic raw material test substances corresponding to test tubes 2 to 4 are in the middle position in the model, which can statistically exclude the extreme situations that may occur at the endpoints, thereby ensuring the reference value of the scoring of the in vitro antibacterial efficacy model of cosmetic raw materials; in addition, the cost of the above operation method is controllable.
[0011] It should be noted that the relative antibacterial rate of less than 40% indicates that the antibacterial effect is not obvious, the relative antibacterial rate of not less than 40% and not more than 80% indicates that there is a certain antibacterial effect, and the relative antibacterial rate of not less than 80% indicates that the antibacterial effect is excellent. Therefore, if the sum of the scores of the cosmetic raw material test substance against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus is greater than 0.5 points, it means that at least the cosmetic raw material test substance exhibits an excellent antibacterial effect against at least one of Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus, or exhibits a certain antibacterial effect against both Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus.
