Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The main cause of skin aging is the combined effect of imbalance of the body's antioxidant system, collagen damage, long-term excessive exposure to sunlight, etc., which causes the generation of phenomena such as affecting cell activity, reducing collagen and elastin synthesis, and increasing collagen degradation. The aging skin presents fine wrinkles, dryness, thinning, and increased temperature sensitivity. With the increasing improvement of people's living standards, consumers have higher pursuit of anti-aging products. Skin protection is carried out through various measures such as internal administration of "health products" and external use of "skincare products", and especially, many consumers accept cosmetic skincare products. At present, anti-aging skincare products in the skincare product market are mainly face creams, which are added with ingredients such as A alcohol, peptides, recombinant collagen and bovine growth factors, and have strong irritation, poor stability, slow effect, high price and certain preparation technical requirements, so the development of anti-aging skincare products still has great challenges.

[0003] Rhizoma atractylodis (Atractylodes chinensis (DC.)

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the monosaccharide composition is mainly composed of fructose and arabinose, with only small amounts of galactose and glucose.

[0057] Example 4: Methylation analysis of polysaccharides from the fibrous roots of Atractylodes lancea

[0058] Step A: Weigh 2-3 mg of Atractylodes lancea root polysaccharide sample and place it in a glass reaction flask.

React in a magnetically stirred water bath at 30°C for 60 min.

[0059] Step B: Finally, add 2 mL of ultrapure water to the above mixture to terminate the methylation reaction, dialyze in a 1000 Da dialysis bag for 24 h, and then freeze dry.

[0060] Step C: Accurately weigh 2 mg of the dialysis sample and 200 mg of potassium bromide, compress them into tablets, and use potassium bromide powder tablets as blank controls.

[0065] Step H: The acetylated product was dissolved in 3 mL of CH₂Cl₂ and transferred to a separatory funnel. A small amount of distilled water was added, and the mixture was shaken thoroughly. The supernatant was then removed. This process was repeated four times. The CH₂Cl₂ layer was dried over an appropriate amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated to 1 mL, and transferred to a liquid chromatography vial.

[0068] Table 1. Results of polysaccharide methylation analysis of Atractylodes lancea rootlets

[0069]

[0070] Example 5: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis of polysaccharides from the fibrous roots of Atractylodes lancea

[0071] Step A: Weigh 50 mg of purified polysaccharide sample from the rootlets of Atractylodes lancea and dissolve it in 0.5 mL of D2O. Then, detect the sample using an AVANCE 600 NMR spectrometer (600 MHz, Bruker, Germany).

[0072] Step B, NMR spectroscopy includes 1 H, 13 C, Dept 135, HSQC, HMBC 1 H / 1 H COSY.

[0073] Step C: Analyze the data using the MestReNova software (Santiago de Compostela, Spain).

[0074] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the polysaccharide from the fibrous roots of Atractylodes lancea ( Figure 3 The main chain of G is →1-β-D-Fruf-2→1-β-D-Fruf-2→, and the side chain is α-L-Araf-(1→5)-α-L-Araf-(1→ connected to the main chain via O-6 of →1,6-β-D-Fruf-2→.

[0075] Example 6: Effects of Atractylodes lancea root polysaccharide on HaCAT cell proliferation and viability

[0076] Cell proliferation and cell vitality are key factors in anti-aging. Maintaining and enhancing cell proliferation capacity, as well as preserving cell vitality, are crucial for slowing down the aging process.

[0077] (1) HaCAT cell proliferation assay

[0078] Step A: HaCaT cells were cultured in DMEM high glucose medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin) and placed in a humidified incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.

[0079] Step B: Take cells in the logarithmic growth phase for the experiment, at a concentration of 3*102 3 HaCaT cells were seeded into 96-well cell culture plates at a density of 1 cell / well.

[0080] Step C: After the cells adhered, different doses of polysaccharide solution (200, 400, 800 μg / mL) and 1 mM H2O2 were added. A blank control group containing only the culture medium was also set up. Cells were cultured for 24 and 48 hours, respectively.

[0081] Step D: Add 20 μL of MTT solution to each well and continue incubation in an incubator for 4 hours.

[0082] Step E: Then add 200 μL of DMSO to each well to dissolve and shake for 10 minutes.

[0083] Step F: Measure the absorbance of each well at a wavelength of 490 nm using a microplate reader.

[0084] (2) Cell viability test

[0085] Step A: HaCaT cells were incubated with EdU reagent for 2 hours.

[0086] Step B: Fix with paraformaldehyde (4%) at room temperature for 30 minutes.

[0087] Step C: Then, use Triton X-100 (0.4%) to penetrate for 10 minutes.

[0088] Step D: Stain with 1×Apollo reagent (15 μL) at room temperature for 30 minutes.

[0089] Step E: Then stain with DAPI solution at room temperature for 10 minutes.

[0090] Step F: Observe the image using a Zeiss AxioImager Z1 fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

[0091] Step G: Finally, use ImageJ software to analyze the number of Edu-positive cells.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, with the gradual increase of the concentration of polysaccharide from the rootlets of Atractylodes lancea, it promoted the proliferation of HaCAT and the gradual increase of EDU-positive cells in a dose-dependent manner, demonstrating that it has a significant effect on promoting cell proliferation.

[0093] Example 7: Assay of β-galactosidase activity in HaCAT cells

[0094] Increased cellular β-galactosidase activity is an important marker of cellular senescence, and regulating this enzyme activity may have potential significance in combating aging.

[0095] Step A, HaCaT cells were added at a rate of 3*10 3 A density of 1 cell / well was seeded in a 6-well plate.

[0101] Step G: Observe and count the cells under an optical microscope. The cells stained dark blue are senescent positive cells.

[0102] like Figure 5 As shown, the polysaccharide from the rootlets of Atractylodes lancea inhibited H2O2-induced β-galactosidase activity in HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner.

[0103] Example 8: Determination of intracellular ROS content in HaCAT cells

[0104] Excessive ROS in the body can cause cumulative damage to cells, which is one of the aging mechanisms proposed by the free radical theory. ROS can react with a variety of biological macromolecules in cells (such as DNA, proteins, and lipids), leading to changes in the function and damage of these macromolecules.

[0105] Step A, HaCaT cells were added at a rate of 1*10 5 Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / well into 6-well cell culture plates.

[0106] Step B involves treating the sample with different doses of polysaccharide solution (200, 400, and 800 μg / mL) and 1 mM H2O2 for 48 hours.

[0107] Step C: After 48 hours, HaCaT cells were collected and placed in 10 μM DCFH-DA solution diluted in serum-free medium and incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes.

[0108] Step D: Wash the cells three times with serum-free culture medium to thoroughly remove any DCFH-DA that has not entered the cells.

[0109] Step E: Use a fluorescence microscope to detect the fluorescence signal of ROS and use image-J software to quantify the fluorescence intensity.

[0110] like Figure 6 As shown, polysaccharides from the rootlets of Atractylodes lancea inhibited H2O2-induced intracellular ROS levels in HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner.

[0111] Example 9: Determination of ROS content in zebrafish

[0112] Excessive ROS in the body can cause cumulative damage to cells, which is one of the aging mechanisms proposed by the free radical theory. ROS can react with a variety of biological macromolecules in cells (such as DNA, proteins, and lipids), leading to changes in the function and damage of these macromolecules.

[0113] Step A: Zebrafish embryos are seeded into 6-well cell culture plates at a density of 30 per well.

[0114] Step B involves treating the sample with different doses of polysaccharide solution (200, 400, and 800 μg / mL) and 1 mM H2O2 for 96 hours.

[0115] Step C: After 96 hours, the cultured zebrafish were placed in a diluted 10 μM DCFH-DA solution and incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes.

[0116] Step D: Wash three times with deionized water to thoroughly remove any DCFH-DA that has not entered the cells.

[0117] Step E: Use a fluorescence microscope to detect the fluorescence signal of ROS and use image-J software to quantify the fluorescence intensity.

[0118] like Figure 7 As shown, polysaccharides from the rootlets of Atractylodes lancea inhibited H2O2-induced ROS levels in zebrafish in a dose-dependent manner.
