Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of medical beauty and cosmetics, and relates to an mRNA molecule and its application in the preparation of beauty and skin care products. Background Art
[0002] The skin is the largest organ of the human body, accounting for about 16% of the body weight. The skin covers the entire body surface and is the only organ with functions of protection, body temperature regulation, secretion and excretion of sweat and oil, absorption, sensation, participation in the body's metabolism and immunity against external invasions. The skin is mainly divided into three major layers, from the outside to the inside, namely the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue.
[0003] Skin aging is a process in which the body functions develop naturally, either quickly or slowly, under the combined influence of internal and external factors. It is mainly caused by endogenous aging and exogenous aging. The main manifestations are that cell metabolism gradually slows down, collagen gradually loses, collagen is damaged, the skin thickness becomes thinner, elastic fibers break, resulting in skin aging problems such as dryness, roughness, wrinkles, and relaxation. With skin aging, protein synthesis decreases, proteolysis increases, humidity generally decreases, and there is general damage to the skin barrier, connective tissue, and cohesion.
[0004] Collagen plays a very important supporting role in the skin, and can maintain the firmness and elasticity of the skin. In particular, type I collagen is the most abundant collagen in the skin, accounting for about 90% of the total collagen content. Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The reticular structure composed of collagen fibers (mainly composed of collagen) and elastic fibers (mainly composed of elastin) helps to enhance the structural scaffold and tensile strength of tissues. A large amount of water, extracellular matrix, and functional cells are distributed between the fibers, which is an important biochemical reaction site of the skin. In the ECM of the skin, the ECM interacts with dermal fibroblasts, and the collagen fiber scaffold is continuously remodeled.
[0005] mRNA (messenger RNA) is a nucleic acid molecule that plays a role in information transfer in cells. It is transcribed from genomic DNA and participates in the process of protein synthesis in cells. Compared with DNA, mRNA can mediate better transfection efficiency and longer protein expression time. mRNA can direct skin cells to produce specific proteins, such as collagen, thereby enhancing the elasticity and moisturizing ability of the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

[0133] 9. Obtaining of mRNA reagents
[0134] The mRNAs SEQ ID No.1 - No.18 obtained respectively through the above steps, SEQ ID No.1 - 9 express COL1A1, that is, the α1 chain of type I collagen, and SEQ ID No.10 - 18 express COL1A2, that is, the α2 chain of type I collagen. Currently, there are research reports that increasing the expression of COL1A1 protein alone can increase the expression of collagen in the skin. However, mRNAs SEQ ID No.1 - No.18 have the ability to increase collagen expression whether used alone or in combination. The cell transfection results of each mRNA group are shown in Figure 2 . In the following examples of this article, two mRNA sequences are used in combination in all mRNA test groups.
[0135] Example 2, mRNA cell experiment
[0136] S1 Cell culture and inoculation: Digest the cells and inoculate fibroblasts. Observe under an inverted microscope. When most cells become round and are in a suspended state, add DMEM medium containing serum at about 2 - 3 times the volume of trypsin to terminate digestion, and collect the cells into a centrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 1200 r / min for 5 min. After centrifugation, discard the supernatant. Add a certain volume of cell culture medium to the centrifuge tube, and pipette the cells with a bent pipette to mix evenly. Count the cells using a cell counter. Dilute the cells to the inoculation density and then inoculate them into a 96 - well plate, with 200 μL of liquid in each well. After inoculation, place it in a CO 2 incubator and culture for 24 h ± 2 h.
[0137] S2 Administration: Discard the medium in the 96 - well plate and carry out the administration operation. Add medium containing 1.0 μg / mL, 0.1 μg / mL, 0.01 μg / mL collagen mRNA to the sample wells. Since during the AI algorithm screening process, among the preferred 8 groups of sequences, all are effective relative to the wild - type, in this example, randomly select the compositions of SEQ ID No.3 and SEQ ID No.12, and mix them in a 1:1 volume ratio; add medium containing 250 ng / mL TGF to the positive control wells, and add normal cell culture medium to the blank control wells, 200 μL in each well. After administration, place the 96 - well plate in a CO 2 incubator and culture for 24 h ± 2 h. Cell supernatant collection: After the incubation culture ends, centrifuge to collect the culture solution and use an ELISA kit to measure the content of type I collagen (COL - 1). One - way ANOVA is performed on the test data of each group using SPSS. The statistical method uses a two - tailed test, and the test level = 0.05; calculate the up - regulation rate (%) of COL - 1 in each group according to the following formula:
[0138] COL - 1 up - regulation rate %=(content of the test group - content of the control group) / content of the control group×100%
[0139] From Figure 3 and Figure 4 the data, it can be concluded that the efficiency of the mRNA test group in promoting cell expression of collagen is much higher than that of the blank control group. The positive control group serves to prove the correctness of the cell experiment and the effectiveness of the positive substance. Compared with the positive control group, the up - regulation rate of the mRNA group is significantly higher. In the cell experiment, compared with the up - regulation efficiency of the positive control group, the mRNA group has a higher up - regulation efficiency. The content of collagen expressed by cells in the mRNA group is increased by 2 times compared with the blank control group.

[0144] Test steps:
[0145] 1. Preparation of test substance: During the AI algorithm screening process, since the 8 selected sequences are all effective relative to the wild type, in this example, the combination of SEQ ID No.5 and SEQ ID No.14 is randomly selected from the preferred group, and the mixing ratio is 1:1 by the same volume as the test substance.
[0146] 2. The T-Skin model enters the laboratory on the 18th day of culture and is maintained in fresh maintenance medium at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for another 48 hours.
[0147] 3. Add the test substance (final concentration 1 mg / mL), positive control (200 μM vitamin C), and blank control (PBS) to the culture medium and incubate for 5 days. The test substance / control is directly added to the surface of the T-Skin model every other day. The culture medium is changed once a day for 5 consecutive days of treatment.
[0148] 4. Immunofluorescence semi-quantification of type I collagen in tissue sections of the T-Skin model: After 5 days of treatment, fix the T-Skin with 4% paraformaldehyde. TMTissues (at 4°C) were paraffin-embedded after dehydration treatment and sectioned. Subsequently, the tissue sections were dewaxed and hydrated, and antigen microwave heat repair was performed using a citric acid repair solution. A normal goat serum blocking solution was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. The excess liquid was discarded without washing. The primary antibody (diluted 15-fold) was added and incubated overnight at 4°C, and then washed 3 times with PBS for 5 min each time. The fluorescent secondary antibody (diluted 100-fold) was added and incubated at 37°C for 1 h, and then washed once with PBS for 5 min. DAPI nuclear staining solution (1:1000) was added and incubated at room temperature for 2 min, and then washed 4 times with PBS for 5 min each time. The slides were sealed with an anti-fluorescence quenching agent and observed under a microscope (DAPI: Ex = 358 nm, Em = 461 nm; type I collagen: Ex = 493 nm, Em = 518 nm). Images were collected and the fluorescence intensity was analyzed using Image J.
[0149] 5. Determination of type I collagen (COL-1) content using an ELISA kit: After 5 days of treatment, the culture medium under the model was collected and stored at -80°C, and an ELISA kit was used for determination.
[0150] Result analysis: Calculate the upregulation rate of COL-1 (%) in each group.
[0151] Upregulation rate of COL-1 (%) = (content in the experimental group - content in the control group) / content in the control group × 100%
[0152] The test data of each group were analyzed using an independent samples T-test with SPSS. The statistical method used a two-tailed test, and the significance level = 0.05; Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The data showed the test results: When the type I collagen content in the sample group > the control group and there was a significant difference after statistical analysis (P < 0.05), it was considered that the sample had the effect of promoting the secretion of type I collagen by fibroblasts in the dermis layer of the T-Skin model tissue.
[0153] Example 4. Verification of the effect of auxiliary instruments through animal experiments
[0154] Preparation of instruments before the experiment: Purchase daily skin care instruments in a shopping mall. The skin care claims to have the function of increasing the skin permeability of cosmetics. For easy understanding and differentiation from the mechanism, they are respectively a microcurrent introduction instrument, a microneedle introduction instrument, and a negative pressure introduction instrument; the above three introduction instruments can be directly purchased from the mall and belong to daily use instruments. In this patent, the brand and type of the introduction instrument are not restricted and protected by rights.
[0155] Preparation of main reagents: In this experiment, the coding mRNA that can express green fluorescent protein was selected as the marker. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein composed of about 238 amino acids. It can be excited by light from blue to ultraviolet and emit green fluorescence. It is a commonly used indicator protein in biomolecular experiments and can quickly locate the position of expressing cells, facilitating the detection of the distribution of mRNA in the skin after it is introduced into the skin.
[0156] Preparation of experimental animals: Twenty-five 10-week-old healthy female Balb / C mice with qualified quarantine were selected and randomly divided into a blank control group, an eGFP mRNA group, an eGFP mRNA + microcurrent applicator test group (hereinafter referred to as the mRNA microcurrent group), an eGFP mRNA + microneedle applicator test group (hereinafter referred to as the mRNA microneedle group), and an eGFP mRNA + negative pressure applicator test group (hereinafter referred to as the mRNA negative pressure group), with 5 mice in each group.
[0157] Experimental procedures: Four to 24 hours before the experiment, the hair on both sides of the spine on the back of the mice was removed (an area of about 3 cm x 3 cm), which served as the test and observation site. In order to facilitate observation and repeated experiments, hair removal may be required repeatedly.
[0158] After hair removal on the back of the mice, the mice were anesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane, and the back of the mice was wiped with disinfected alcohol. After the alcohol volatilized, the eGFP mRNA solution was evenly applied to the back of the mice at a dose of 5 μg per mouse, and the application range was controlled within a 1 cm x 1 cm square. Subsequently, according to the operation manual, the auxiliary introduction instrument was used to perform a 15-minute liquid introduction treatment on the back of the mice; the blank control group used physiological saline as the control reagent to apply to the back of the mice.
[0159] After the experiment, the remaining excess liquid on the back of the mice was wiped clean, the anesthesia was lifted, and after observing for 24 hours, the skin was excised and placed in 4% formaldehyde for fixation. Subsequently, frozen sections were made and observed under a fluorescence microscope.
[0160] Compared with the blank control group, different degrees of green fluorescent clusters were observed in the mRNA groups under the fluorescence microscope (as shown in Figure 9 ), which proved that the mRNA penetrated the skin and was taken up by skin cells and expressed fluorescent proteins; compared with the group that only applied mRNA, the expression levels of fluorescent proteins in the experimental groups using auxiliary introduction devices all increased to varying degrees. Among them, more obvious green fluorescence could be observed in the epidermis layer of the mRNA microcurrent group and the mRNA negative pressure group.
[0161] Example 5. Verification of collagen expression effect by rat skin test
[0162] Preparation of instruments before the experiment: Purchase daily skincare instruments in a shopping mall. The skincare is claimed to have the function of increasing the skin permeability of cosmetics. For the convenience of understanding and differentiation from the mechanism, they are respectively a microcurrent introducer, a microneedle introducer, and a negative pressure introducer. The above three types of introducers can be directly purchased from the mall and belong to daily-use instruments. Therefore, in this patent, the brands and types of the introducers are not restricted and protected by rights.
[0163] Preparation of main reagents: In this experiment, the coding mRNA that can express collagen is selected as the marker. Because during the AI algorithm screening process, among the preferably selected 8 groups of sequences, they are all effective relative to the wild type. Therefore, in this embodiment, a composition of SEQ ID No.7 and SEQ ID No.16 is randomly selected from the preferred groups, and the mixing ratio is 1:1 by the same volume.
[0164] Preparation of experimental animals: Select 25 healthy 4-week-old female SD rats with qualified quarantine, and randomly divide them into a blank control group, a collagen mRNA + microcurrent introducer test group (hereinafter referred to as the mRNA microcurrent group), a collagen mRNA + microneedle introducer test group (hereinafter referred to as the mRNA microneedle group), a collagen mRNA + negative pressure introducer test group (hereinafter referred to as the mRNA negative pressure group), and a collagen mRNA intradermal injection as the positive control group, with 5 rats in each group.
[0165] Experimental procedure: 4 to 24 hours before the experiment, remove the hair on both sides of the rat's back spine (about a 3 cm x 3 cm area) as the test and observation site. For the convenience of observation and repeated experiments, hair removal may be required repeatedly. After the rat's back is depilated, anesthetize the rat with 1.5% isoflurane, wipe the rat's back with disinfected alcohol, and after the alcohol has evaporated, apply the eGFP mRNA solution at a dose of 10 μg per rat evenly on the rat's back, controlling the application range within a 1 cm x 1 cm square. Then, according to the operation manual, use an auxiliary introduction instrument to perform a 15-minute liquid introduction treatment on the rat's back; the blank control group uses physiological saline as the control reagent and applies it to the rat's back in the same way. After the experiment, wipe off the remaining excess liquid on the rat's back, relieve the anesthesia, observe for 48 hours, then take the skin at the experimental site, fix it overnight with 4% paraformaldehyde, make paraffin sections, and stain the sections with masson and take pictures for analysis.
[0166] At Figure 10 It is possible to visually compare the changes in collagen fibers in the dermis layer among different groups. The dermis layer is mainly composed of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, which directly determine the elasticity of the skin. Figure 11 The data results show that the positive control group has a promoting effect on the upregulation of collagen through intradermal injection, and the expression of collagen in the skin can also be increased by microneedle introduction, showing a significant difference compared with the control group.
[0167] The above description of the embodiments is to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand and use the invention. It is obvious that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative efforts. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and all improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention according to the disclosure of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
