[0002] The skin is a barrier between the human body and the external environment, and is an important organ that protects the body against external changes. The skin also has many functions such as defending against ultraviolet rays, regulating body temperature, and neutralizing external stimuli. With changes in the environment and the influence of aging, the function and condition of the skin will be damaged. The mission of skin care cosmetics is to reduce the damage to the skin's function and condition caused by the external environment and aging.

[0061] Example 5: Determination of TIMP1 protein content in dermal fibroblasts in vitro Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor-1 (TIMP1) is a glycoprotein expressed in various tissues of organisms and is a member of the TIMP family. TIMP1 is a natural inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are a group of peptidases involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix. The decrease in TIMP1 levels caused by photoaging was simulated by irradiating cells with UVA, and the upregulation rate of TIMP1 protein content was determined after administration of the test substance to evaluate whether the test substance was effective in promoting TIMP1 protein synthesis. On the basis that the test met the validity verification, the content of TIMP1 protein was upregulated compared with the blank control, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the test substance has the ability to promote TIMP1 protein synthesis at the tested concentration, which can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of anti-aging cosmetic raw materials.
[0062] Determination method: 1. Cell plating: Remove the cells from the carbon dioxide incubator, observe the cell growth under a microscope, and randomly select two fields of view to take pictures using a low-power microscope (4X) and a high-power microscope (10X). When the cell density reaches 80%-90%, it is confirmed that it can be harvested. Wipe the outer surface of the culture bottle with a dust-free cloth containing alcohol and transfer it to the biosafety cabinet. Gently shake the culture bottle back and forth and use a pipette to remove the old culture medium. Use an appropriate amount of PBS to wash the cell surface once, add an appropriate amount of digestive enzyme to the culture bottle, and digest at room temperature for 3-5 min. After gently shaking, the cells are observed to be quicksand-like by naked eye. Under the microscope, the cells are spherical, indicating that the digestion is complete. Add an appropriate amount of PBS to stop the digestion. After the pipette blows the bottom of the culture bottle, the liquid is transferred to a centrifuge tube, and the centrifugation parameters are 400 g for 5min. Resuspend with complete culture medium and take 20 μL for cell counting. Inoculate into a 96-well plate at a density of 5000 cells / 100 μL / well, with 3 replicates per group, and culture the cells for 24 h.
[0063] 2. UVA Induction: Place an ice pack in the biosafety cabinet, cover the ice pack with four layers of kraft paper, and then place the cell culture plate on the kraft paper. Adjust the position of the UVA lamp so that the distance between the lamp and the cells is 5 cm. Remove the cell culture plate, turn on the lamp to balance for 5 minutes, then place the cell culture plate under the lamp, open the lid, and irradiate for 1 hour. The radiation energy is about 5 J / cm 2 .
[0064] 3. Drug treatment: Treatment drugs were prepared, 400 μL for each group, blank control group: T4 basal medium, ergothioneine (purchased from MERCK) experimental group: 40 μL ergothioneine (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 400 μL T4 basal medium, Spirulina platensis exosomes experimental group: 40 μL Spirulina platensis exosomes (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 400 μL T4 basal medium, olive leaf exosomes experimental group: 40 μL olive leaf exosomes (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 400 μL T4 basal medium, white peony exosomes experimental group: 40 μL white peony exosomes (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 400 μL T4 basal medium, combination experimental group: 40 μL combination (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 400 μL T4 basal medium.
[0065] After UVA irradiation, the PBS was discarded, and 100 μL of the prepared blank control, ergothioneine, Spirulina platensis exosomes, olive leaf exosomes, white peony exosomes and the combination were added respectively and cultured for 24 h.
[0066] 4. TIMP1 protein detection (refer to the instructions of Lianke Human TIMP1 ELISA Kit) Collect the culture supernatant, centrifuge at 3000 g for 10 min to remove impurities, and test according to the TIMP1 kit. If the test cannot be carried out in time, the supernatant should be aliquoted into 50 μL tubes and stored at -20 °C. Prepare all the necessary reagents and working concentration standards. Remove the unnecessary strips, put them back into the aluminum foil bag with desiccant, and reseal the seal.
[0067] 1) Soak the microplate: Add 300 μL of 1× washing solution and let it soak for 30 seconds. After discarding the washing solution, pat the microplate dry on absorbent paper. After washing, use the microplate immediately and do not let it dry.
[0068] 2) Add standard: Add 100 μL of 2-fold diluted standard to the standard wells. Add 100 μL of standard dilution to the blank wells.
[0069] 3) Add sample: Add 50 μL of cell culture supernatant to the sample well, and add 50 μL of PBS to each well for 2-fold dilution.
[0070] 4) Incubation: Seal the plate with a sealing film and place on a horizontal shaker for 2 hours at room temperature (25°C ± 3°C).
[0071] 5) Washing: Discard the liquid, add 300 μL of washing solution to each well, wash three times, and pat the microplate dry on absorbent paper.
[0072] 6) Add detection antibody: Add 100 μL of detection antibody working solution (1:100 dilution) to each well.
[0073] 7) Incubation: Seal the plate with a sealing film and place on a horizontal shaker for 1 hour at room temperature (25°C ± 3°C).
[0074] 8) Washing: Repeat step 5.
[0075] 9) Add enzyme: Add 100 μL of streptavidin working solution (1:100 dilution) to each well.
[0076] 10) Incubation: Seal the plate with a sealing film and place on a horizontal shaker at room temperature (25℃±3℃) for 45 minutes.
[0077] 11) Washing: Repeat step 5.
[0078] 12) Add substrate for color development: Add 100 μL of color development substrate to each well and incubate at room temperature (25℃±3℃) for 20 minutes in the dark.
[0079] 13) Add stop solution: Add 100 μL of stop solution to each well. Tap gently to mix until the color changes from blue to yellow.
[0080] 14) Detection reading: Within 30 minutes, measure the maximum absorbance wavelength of 450 nm.
[0081] 15) A calibration curve was made based on the A450 value of the standard, with the horizontal axis representing the TIMP1 protein concentration and the vertical axis representing the A450 value. The amount of TIMP1 protein in the sample was calculated according to the formula of the calibration curve. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0082] Table 1: Results of in vitro TIMP1 protein assay in dermal fibroblasts
[0083] The results showed that the composition of Example 4 could significantly promote the secretion of TIMP1, an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases, and the effect was better than that of ergothioneine and the raw materials of each component in the composition.
[0084] Example 6: Determination of MMP1 protein content in dermal fibroblasts in vitro MMP1 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. The degradation of the extracellular matrix mainly relies on proteolytic enzymes, and MMP is the most important group of proteolytic enzymes, among which MMP-1 is the main enzyme for degrading type I and type III collagen. When MMP-1 is overexpressed, it specifically degrades extracellular matrix components, destroys the normal structure of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, and causes wrinkles and other aging manifestations in the skin. Human dermal fibroblasts can be used as a cell model to study the inhibition of MMP-1 content by cosmetics. UVA irradiation cells simulate the increase of MMP-1 caused by photoaging, and the downregulation rate of MMP-1 protein content after administration of the test substance is determined to evaluate whether the test substance has the effect of inhibiting MMP-1 protein synthesis. On the basis of meeting the validity verification of the test, the content of MMP-1 protein in the test substance is downregulated compared with the blank control, and there is a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the test substance has the ability to inhibit MMP-1 protein synthesis at the test concentration, which can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of anti-aging cosmetic raw materials.

[0107] Example 7: In vitro SA-β-Gal staining assay of dermal fibroblasts SA-β-gal staining is a commonly used method for detecting cell aging. It evaluates the aging state of cells by detecting the activity of intracellular acidic β-galactosidase. The activity of acidic β-galactosidase in aged cells increases. The β-galactosidase staining kit uses X-Gal as a substrate, and generates a dark blue product under the catalysis of aging-specific β-galactosidase. UVA irradiation of cells simulates photoaging, causing an increase in intracellular acidic β-galactosidase. The upregulation of acidic β-galactosidase is inhibited by administering the test substance. The amount of SA-β-gal staining-positive cells is used to evaluate whether the test substance has efficacy in inhibiting cell aging. On the basis that the test meets the validity verification, the amount of SA-β-gal staining-positive cells of the test substance is downregulated compared with the blank control, and there is a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the test substance has the ability to inhibit cell aging at the tested concentration, and can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of anti-aging cosmetic raw materials.

[0121] Example 8: In vitro dermal fibroblast proliferation assay Cell proliferation is one of the important physiological functions of living cells and an important life characteristic of organisms. In addition to secreting collagen fibers and elastic fibers to maintain skin elasticity, fibroblasts also have adhesion, which plays an important role in maintaining skin elasticity and toughness. The reduction of fibroblast proliferation activity is one of the important causes of wrinkles. The CCK-8 method is based on the highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt WST-8 to measure cell proliferation / toxicity. WST-8 can be reduced to a water-soluble orange-yellow formazan product under the action of an electron mediator, producing a color reaction. The more and faster the cell proliferation, the darker the color; the greater the cell toxicity, the lighter the color. For the same cell, the depth of color is proportional to the number of living cells. Dermal fibroblasts can be used as a cell model for studying the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts in vitro in cosmetics. On the basis of the test meeting the validity verification, the experimental group was compared with the blank control group, and the cell proliferation was upregulated, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the experimental sample has the ability to promote cell proliferation at the tested concentration, which can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of firming cosmetic raw materials.

[0150] Example 10: Determination of the reactive oxygen species scavenging ability of dermal fibroblasts in vitro Reactive oxygen species (ROS) refers to the general term for oxygen-containing free radicals and peroxides that are easy to form free radicals related to oxygen metabolism in the body. It broadly refers to free radicals and non-free radicals derived from oxygen, including superoxide anions (O 2- ), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (OH -), ozone (O3) and singlet oxygen (1O2), etc. The normal physiological metabolism of the human body and the impact of the environment will lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but excessive ROS will lead to problems such as skin aging. The ROS produced when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation can induce the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and increase their activity. In particular, MMP-1 and MMP-3 will accelerate the skin aging process by degrading collagen and elastin. By irradiating cells with UVA to simulate photoaging, the cellular ROS increased, and the amount of intracellular ROS was detected by the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe to evaluate whether the test substance is effective in inhibiting cellular ROS. On the basis that the test meets the validity verification, the DCFH-DA fluorescence intensity of the test substance is downregulated compared with the blank control, and there is a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the test substance has the ability to clear cellular ROS at the tested concentration, which can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of anti-wrinkle cosmetic raw materials.

[0165] The results show that the composition of Example 4 can significantly inhibit the tyrosinase activity of melanocytes to achieve a whitening effect, and the effect is better than niacinamide and the raw materials of each component in the composition.
[0166] Example 12: In vitro melanocyte melanin synthesis inhibition assay Melanin is a dark brown pigment found in animals and plants. It is produced and stored in a special cell, the melanocyte (also known as the melanin matrix). It is because of the presence of melanin that the skin has color. The main function of melanocytes is to synthesize melanin. The synthesis of melanin is mainly through the use of tyrosine as a raw material in melanocytes and the catalysis of tyrosinase to form melanin. α-MSH can bind to the MC1R receptor on melanocytes and activate adenylate cyclase (AC), leading to an increase in intracellular cAMP. The increased cAMP activates tyrosinase through PKA, thereby promoting melanin production. B16 mouse melanoma cells can be used as a cell model to study the inhibition of melanin synthesis in cosmetics. On the basis of meeting the effectiveness verification, the inhibition rate of melanin synthesis in the experimental group was significantly increased compared with the negative control group, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the experimental sample has the ability to inhibit melanin synthesis at the tested concentration, which can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of whitening cosmetic raw materials.
[0167] Determination method: 1. Cell plating: B16 mouse melanoma cells are normally cultured using RPMI-1640 complete medium (RPMI-1640 complete medium culture does not produce melanin). Remove the cells from the carbon dioxide incubator, observe the cell growth under a microscope, and randomly select two fields of view to take pictures using a low-power microscope (4X) and a high-power microscope (10X). When the cell density reaches 80%-90%, it is confirmed that it can be harvested. Wipe the outer surface of the culture bottle with a dust-free cloth containing alcohol and transfer it to the biosafety cabinet. Gently shake the culture bottle back and forth, remove the old culture medium with a pipette, wash the cell surface once with an appropriate amount of PBS, and digest with 0.25% trypsin for 2 min. When most of the cells become round and suspended under a microscope, add about 2-3 times the volume of RPMI-1640 complete medium containing serum to terminate the digestion, and collect them in a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 5 min. After centrifugation. Discard the supernatant and add a certain volume of DMEM high-glucose complete medium to the centrifuge tube (resuspend the cells at this time and use DMEM high-glucose medium in the following experiments. B16 cells will produce melanin in DMEM medium). After resuspending evenly, use a cell counter to count. Take 20 μL for cell counting. Inoculate into a 24-well plate at a density of 100,000 cells / well. The blank control group does not inoculate cells but only adds DMEM high-glucose medium and culture for 24 hours.
[0168] 2. Drug treatment: Treatment drugs were prepared, 2 mL for each group, blank control group: PBS + DMEM high glucose complete medium of equal sample volume, nicotinamide (purchased from MERCK) experimental group: 200 μL nicotinamide (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 1 mL DMEM high glucose complete medium + 1 mL PBS, Spirulina platensis exosome experimental group: 200 μL Spirulina platensis exosome (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 1 mL DMEM high glucose complete medium + 1 mL PBS, olive leaf exosome experimental group: 200 μL olive leaf exosome (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 1 mL DMEM high glucose complete medium + 1 mL PBS, white peony exosome experimental group: 200 μL white peony exosome (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 1 mL DMEM high glucose complete medium + 1 mL PBS, combination experimental group: 200 μL combination (1 mg / ml storage mother solution) + 1 mL DMEM high glucose complete medium + 1 mL PBS; discard the cell culture supernatant, add 500 μL of negative control reagent, positive control group reagent, and experimental group reagent respectively, and culture for 72 hours. During this period, observe the cell status and culture medium every day and replace with fresh blank control reagent, positive control group reagent, and experimental group reagent.
[0169] 3. Cell collection: After removing the culture supernatant, wash once with PBS. Add 200 μl of 0.25% trypsin to each well to digest the cells, and place them in a CO2 incubator for 2 min. Add 400 μl of PBS containing 10% FBS to terminate the digestion and blow the cells, collect the cells in a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 5 min, and discard the supernatant.
[0170] 4. Testing: Add 100 μl of melanin extract to each tube, shake well, and heat in an 80°C water bath for 1 hour. After cooling, centrifuge the tube wall droplets moderately, blow and beat evenly, pipette 90 μl of solution from each centrifuge tube, transfer to a 96-well plate, and use an ELISA reader to measure the absorbance of each well at a wavelength of 405 nm.
[0171] 5. Data Analysis: Melanin synthesis inhibition rate = [1-(As-Ab) / (Ac-Ab)] × 100%, As: absorbance of the experimental group or positive control group, Ac: absorbance of the negative control well, Ab: absorbance of the blank control group. The results are shown in Table 8.
[0172] Table 8: In vitro melanocyte melanin synthesis inhibition assay results
[0173] The results show that the composition of Example 4 can significantly inhibit the melanin synthesis of melanocytes to achieve a whitening effect, and the effect is better than niacinamide and the raw materials of each component in the composition.
[0174] Example 13: In vitro keratinocyte proliferation assay Cell proliferation is one of the important physiological functions of living cells and an important life characteristic of organisms. It indicates cell vitality and status. The epidermis is located on the surface of the skin. It is thin but tough. Most epidermal cells are keratinocytes. Keratinocytes have functions such as proliferation, differentiation, migration and secretion of extracellular components. They are the determining factors for whether the skin can return to a healthy state. The CCK-8 method is based on the highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt WST-8 to measure cell proliferation / toxicity. WST-8 can be reduced to a water-soluble orange-yellow formazan product under the action of an electron mediator, producing a color reaction. The more and faster the cell proliferation, the darker the color; the greater the cell toxicity, the lighter the color. For the same cell, the depth of the color is proportional to the number of living cells. Hacat immortalized human keratinocytes can be used as a cell model for studying the proliferation of keratinocytes in vitro for cosmetics. On the basis that the test met the effectiveness verification, the cell proliferation in the experimental group was upregulated compared with the blank control group, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating that the experimental sample has the ability to promote cell proliferation at the tested concentration, which can be used as one of the evidences to support the title of repair cosmetic raw material.
[0175] Determination method: 1. Cell plating: Remove the cells from the carbon dioxide incubator, observe the cell growth under a microscope, and randomly select two fields of view to take pictures using a low-power microscope and a high-power microscope. When the cell density reaches 80%-90%, it is confirmed that it can be harvested; wipe the outer surface of the culture bottle with a dust-free cloth containing alcohol and transfer it to the biosafety cabinet. Gently shake the culture bottle back and forth and use a pipette to remove the old culture medium. Use an appropriate amount of PBS to wash the cell surface once, add an appropriate amount of digestive enzyme to the culture bottle, and digest at room temperature for 5-8 min. After gently shaking, observe the cells with the naked eye and they appear to be quicksand-like. Under the microscope, the cells appear to be spherical, indicating that the digestion is complete. Add an appropriate amount of stop solution to stop the digestion, transfer the liquid to a centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 400 g for 5 min; resuspend with DMEM complete culture medium and take 20 μL for counting. According to the density of 2×10 4 / well inoculated into a 96-well plate: Take the required amount of cells and dilute the cells to 2×10 5 / ml, mix well and add the cell suspension to a 96-well plate, 100 μL / well. Culture the cells for 24 hours before use.
