Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and particularly relates to an extracellular matrix collagen for scalp care, its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] The scalp extracellular matrix (ECM) refers to a complex network present in scalp tissues, including various components such as multiple proteins, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins, which play important roles in maintaining scalp structure, supporting cell proliferation and migration, and participating in physiological processes such as healing and regeneration. Generally, the scalp mainly contains several types of collagen: Type I collagen, which is the most abundant type of collagen in the scalp, mainly responsible for providing structural strength and support, and is widely present in skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments; Type III collagen, which coexists with Type I collagen and mainly plays a role in the elasticity and toughness of the skin. The proportion of Type III collagen is relatively high in young skin, and its content usually decreases with age; Type IV collagen, which is mainly present in the basement membrane and plays a role in supporting cells and tissues; Type VII collagen, which exists between the dermis and the epidermis and participates in the stability of skin structure. These proteins and other components together constitute the extracellular matrix of the scalp and maintain the health and function of the scalp.

[0003] There are a variety of existing hair growth products on the market. Some of them can show effects in the short term, but the effects weaken after long-term use and cannot be maintained persistently. Moreover, some of them may contain irritating ingredients or chemicals, which may cause side effects such as skin irritation, allergic reactions, and increased hair loss after use, especially for people with sensitive skin. Using collagen for scalp care can effectively solve problems such as short-term effects and allergies. However, there are a variety of collagens in the skin extracellular matrix, and different types of collagen often have different effects. The effect of a single type of collagen is limited, and it may need to be used in combination with a specific frequency or other products, thus limiting its application in hair growth and anti-hair loss products.

[0042] Example 1 Preparation of Extracellular Matrix Collagen

[0043] 1 Sequence Selection

[0044] Collagen is divided into 29 subtypes. In this application, by comparing the conserved regions of 29 types of collagen, various different subtypes of collagen are fused by synthetic biology methods according to the functions of collagen. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression system is used, which has no endotoxin, high yield, simple culture medium, stable expressed protein and can be secreted extracellularly and is easy to purify. At the same time, it has functions such as correctly processing, modifying and properly folding heterologous proteins, and heterologously expressing the target protein, so as to obtain the extracellular matrix collagen for scalp care in this application. Its amino acid sequence is shown in Seq ID NO.1, which is derived from human collagen, and the sequence references are: UniProt 1277, UniProt QIP67963.1, UniProt AAH28178.1 and UniProtAAA58965.1.

[0045] Furthermore, according to the properties of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression plasmid pYES2 / CT-MFα and the codon preference of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae host, the gene sequence encoding extracellular matrix collagen is optimized and designed, including reducing the repetition frequency of repetitive sequences and artificial design, etc., which helps to reduce errors in the translation process and increase the proportion of correctly folded proteins, thus obtaining the optimized gene sequence of extracellular matrix collagen, as shown in Seq ID NO.2.

[0046] 2 Construction and screening of recombinant yeast engineering bacteria

[0047] 2.1 Construction of recombinant plasmid

[0048] According to the gene sequence of extracellular matrix collagen shown in Seq ID NO.2, General Biology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. was commissioned to synthesize the gene fragment, and the synthesized gene fragment was inserted into the Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression plasmid pYES2 / CT-MFα (as Figure 1 shown) through the restriction enzyme sites of Not Ⅰ and Xba I to obtain the recombinant plasmid pYES2 / CT-MFα-ECMCOL.

[0049] 2.2 Electroporation into Saccharomyces cerevisiae INVSc1 competent cells

[0050] Take 10 μL of the recombinant plasmid pYES2 / CT-MFα-ECMCOL and add it to 80 μL of Saccharomyces cerevisiae INVScl competent cells. After mixing, transfer it to a pre-chilled electroporation cuvette and let it stand on ice for 5 min. Adjust the Bio-Rad electroporator to the fungal setting, place the electroporation cuvette on the Bio-Rad electroporator for electroporation; after electroporation, quickly add 500 μL of pre-chilled 1 M sorbitol solution to the electroporation cuvette, mix well, incubate at 30 °C for 1 h, then centrifuge and discard 400 μL - 500 μL of the supernatant, resuspend the cells by pipetting and spread them on the SC-U solid plate; incubate the SC-U solid plate inverted at 30 °C until monoclonal colonies grow.

[0051] 2.3 Screening of positive clone strains

[0052] Pick monoclonal colonies growing on the SC-U solid plate and inoculate them into a centrifuge tube containing 500 μL of YPD liquid medium. Incubate overnight at 30 °C and 180 rpm. Then select 10 monoclonal colonies after overnight culture and extract genomic DNA respectively. After PCR amplification of the target gene, identify positive clone strains by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The electrophoresis identification results are as Figure 2 shown, (wherein, lane M: 100 bp Plus DNA Marker; lane 1: negative control; lanes 2 - 5: PCR products of monoclonal colonies), which is basically consistent with the theoretical extracellular matrix collagen band of 1130 bp.

[0053] Furthermore, select the positive clone strains with correct identification for the next experiment, and thus obtain the recombinant yeast engineering strain INVSc1 / pYES2 / CT-MFα-ECMCOL.

[0054] Specifically, the PCR conditions are: pre-denaturation at 98 °C for 5 min, thermal denaturation at 98 °C for 50 s, annealing at 60 °C for 30 s, extension at 72 °C for 60 s, 35 cycles; final extension at 72 °C for 10 min.

[0055] 3 Induced expression of the recombinant yeast engineering strain

[0056] Pick the recombinant yeast engineering strain INVSc1 / pYES2 / CT-MFα-ECMCOL and inoculate it into 20 mL of SC-U selective medium. Incubate with shaking overnight at 30 °C and 220 rpm, measure the OD 600nm absorbance value, calculate the corresponding volume of the bacterial liquid and transfer it to 100 mL of SC-U induction medium to make the initial OD 600nm absorbance value 0.3 - 0.5, and continue the culture;

[0057] Galactose was added to the SC-U induction medium every 24 h to a final concentration of 2.0%. After induction, the bacterial liquid was centrifuged to collect the supernatant of induced expression, and the expression level of the target protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The results are as Figure 3 shown (where lane M: protein Marker; lane 1: supernatant before induction; lanes 2-4: supernatants of induced expression of different colonies). An obvious specific band could be observed at about 42 kDa. The recombinant yeast engineering strain INVSc1 / pYES2 / CT-MFα-ECMCOL could produce extracellular matrix collagen of about 42 kDa after induction.

[0058] 4 Purification

[0059] A cation exchange medium (the chromatography packing material was SP Purose 6 High Performance produced by Qianchun, loaded on the GE Akta chromatography system) was used. The chromatography column was equilibrated with phosphate buffer (25 mM NaH2PO4, pH 4.0) until the conductivity value and the A280 absorbance value remained unchanged. The supernatant of induced expression was loaded, and the loading flow rate was set at 5 mL / min. The ultraviolet A280 absorbance value was detected. When it increased, sampling began; after the loading was completed, the cation chromatography medium was equilibrated with phosphate buffer until the conductivity and the ultraviolet A280 absorbance value were the lowest and no longer changed, and sampling was stopped; then it was eluted with NaH2PO4 buffer containing NaCl (1 M) and the corresponding protein was collected. The extracellular matrix collagen stock solution was obtained after dialysis. The expression level of the purified protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The results are as Figure 4 shown. An obvious specific band could be observed at about 42 kDa, which was basically consistent with the predicted molecular weight.

[0060] Example 2 Preparation of the finished product of extracellular matrix collagen composition

[0061] The extracellular matrix collagen stock solution in Example 1 was mixed with hyaluronic acid to obtain the finished product of extracellular matrix collagen composition. Among them, the final concentration of extracellular matrix collagen was 4 mg / mL, and the final concentration of hyaluronic acid was 15%. This finished product of extracellular matrix collagen composition can be used in hair growth and anti-hair loss products.

[0062] Example 3 Detection of cell adhesion promoting activity

[0063] The extracellular matrix collagen composition in Example 2 was pre-diluted with PBS buffer to a total protein content of 0.5 μg / mL. After pre-dilution, it was serially diluted 2-fold in a 96-well plate, with a total of 8 dilution factors. 50 μL of the finished product samples of the extracellular matrix collagen composition at different dilution factors were added to each well. A negative control (without adding any protein) was set up, and 50 μL of PBS buffer was added as a control. At the same time, three single collagen control groups (all three single collagens were diluted to 0.5 μg / mL) were set up. After the same 2-fold dilution, different concentrations of the single collagen solutions were added to each well. Incubation was carried out overnight at 4 °C. After incubation, the liquid in the plate was discarded, and each well was washed with 100 μL of PBS, for a total of 3 washes. After washing, 100 μL of bovine serum albumin at 30 μg / μL was added to each well for blocking, and the plate was incubated in an incubator at 37 °C for 1 h. After incubation, the liquid in the plate was discarded, and each well was washed 3 times with 100 μL of PBS. Then, fibroblast cell suspension was added, and the cell seeding density was 1.0×10 5 cells / mL. 100 μL was seeded into each well, and the plate was incubated in an incubator for 5 h. The cell plate after incubation was washed 3 times with PBS, and the cell adhesion was observed under a 100-fold microscope. The results are as Figure 5 shown. Five points were selected under a 200-fold microscope, excluding the edge points, to count the number of adherent cells. According to the counting results, a curve was fitted to obtain the specific activity. The results are as Figure 6 shown.

[0064] As Figure 5 can be seen, only a very small number of cells survived in the negative control wells, indicating that the negative control experiment was valid. As Figure 6 can be seen, the extracellular matrix collagen composition of the present application has the activity of promoting fibroblast adhesion with type I collagen, type III collagen, and type IV collagen. However, compared with the three single collagens, the extracellular matrix collagen composition prepared in the present application has more excellent adhesion activity.

[0065] Example 4 Detection of promoting keratinocyte proliferation

[0066] The extracellular matrix collagen composition in Example 2 was pre-diluted with PBS buffer to a total protein content of 0.5 μg / mL. Human keratinocyte cell lines were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37 °C and 5% CO2, and the cell concentration was controlled at 1.0×10 4 cells / mL - 5.0×10 4cells / mL and seeded into 96-well plates. During the seeding process, keep shaking constantly to ensure the same number of cells seeded in each well. Seed 100 μL in each well and culture at 37°C under 5% CO2 conditions; After 24 h, change to DMEM culture medium with 0.4% calf serum; After culturing for 24 h, discard the culture medium, add the pre-diluted finished product of the extracellular matrix collagen composition. At the same time, set up a negative control group (without adding any protein) and a single collagen control group (all three collagens are diluted to 0.5 μg / mL), with 2 replicate wells in each group, 100 μL in each well; Incubate at 37°C under 5% CO2 conditions for 68 h - 72 h; Add 20 μL of MTT solution to each well and culture at 37°C under 5% CO2 conditions for 5 h. The above operations are carried out under sterile conditions. After discarding the liquid in the culture plate, add 100 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide to each well. After fully dissolving and mixing evenly, observe the cell adhesion situation under a 100-fold microscope. The results are as Figure 7 shown. At the same time, on the microplate reader, with 630 nm as the reference wavelength and 570 nm as the test wavelength, measure the absorbance, record the measurement results, and process the experimental data using a computer program or the four-parameter regression calculation method. The results are as Figure 8 shown.

[0067] It can be seen from Figure 7 that only a very small number of cells survived in the negative control wells, indicating that the negative control experiment was successful; It can be seen from Figure 8 that the extracellular matrix collagen composition of the present application has the activity of promoting keratinocyte proliferation with type I collagen, type III collagen, and type IV collagen. However, compared with the three single collagens, the proliferation effect of the extracellular matrix collagen composition prepared in the present application is more excellent.

[0068] Example 5 Hair Growth Promotion Experiment

[0069] After removing the back hair of C57BL / 6 mice, they were divided into an experimental group and a control group. In the experimental group, the extracellular matrix collagen composition in Example 2 was applied externally to the wound surface of the mice. The control group was divided into 4 groups, and PBS, type I collagen, type III collagen, and type IV collagen were applied externally respectively. Use a digital camera to record the back hair of each mouse on the 0th day, 4th day, 8th day, and 12th day after treatment, and use Image J software to measure the hair area to calculate the hair coverage rate. The test results are as Figure 9 shown.

[0070] It can be seen from Figure 9 that the extracellular matrix collagen composition of the present application has the effect of promoting hair growth with type I collagen, type III collagen, and type IV collagen. However, the ability of the extracellular matrix collagen composition of the present application to promote hair growth is more excellent than that of several single collagens, and a higher hair coverage rate can be achieved in a short time.

[0071] In summary, in this application, by comparing the conserved regions of 29 types of collagens, multiple different subtypes of collagens were fused using synthetic biology methods according to the functions of collagens, and their amino acid sequences and gene sequences were optimized to enable their efficient expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression system has the advantages of being endotoxin-free, having a high yield, a simple culture medium, stable expression of proteins, and being able to secrete proteins extracellularly for easy purification. At the same time, it has the functions of correctly processing, modifying, and properly folding heterologous proteins in space. By expressing the target heterologous protein, the extracellular matrix collagen for scalp care in this application was obtained. Its amino acid sequence is shown in Seq ID NO.1, and its gene sequence is shown in Seq ID NO.2. It retains better activity than natural collagen, has a low production cost, and stable product quality. After verification, compared with single-subtype collagens, the extracellular matrix collagen fused in this application is expressed more efficiently, has more excellent cell adhesion promotion activity and cell proliferation promotion activity, higher biological activity, and more significant effects on promoting hair growth and scalp repair. It can be applied to hair growth and anti-hair loss products. Moreover, since this extracellular matrix collagen belongs to a biological protein and has the advantages of being easily decomposed and leaving no residue, it has a huge advantage of having no side effects compared with ordinary chemical skin care products and hormonal drugs.

[0072] The above are only optional embodiments of this application, and do not limit the patent scope of this application accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made using the content of the specification and drawings of this application under the inventive concept of this application, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of this application.

The method for preparing extracellular matrix collagen for scalp care according to claim 2, characterized in that: The step of purifying the induced expression supernatant to obtain an extracellular matrix collagen stock solution comprises: A cation exchange medium was used, and the chromatography column was equilibrated with a phosphate buffer until the conductivity value and the A280 absorbance value remained unchanged. The induced expression supernatant was loaded, and the loading flow rate was set to 5 ml / min. When the ultraviolet A280 absorbance value increased, the sample was started; after the loading was completed, the chromatography column was re-equilibrated with a phosphate buffer until the conductivity and ultraviolet A280 absorbance values ​​were the lowest and no longer changed, and the sample was stopped; then the corresponding protein was eluted with a phosphate buffer containing NaCl and collected, and after dialysis, the extracellular matrix collagen stock solution was obtained.

9. A use of the extracellular matrix collagen for scalp care as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that: The extracellular matrix collagen is mixed with hyaluronic acid and used in the preparation of a hair growth and anti-hair loss product.
