Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical or cosmetic preparations, and particularly to polypeptide complexes and their applications. Background Art

[0002] One of the core manifestations of skin aging is the structural collapse of the epidermal-dermal junction (DEJ), which is mainly manifested as the degradation of the collagen networks of type IV, type VII, and type XVII. As the dynamic interface between the epidermis and the dermis, the DEJ not only undertakes the physiological functions of mechanical anchoring and nutrient exchange, but is also the core hub for maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier and regulating cell signal transduction. The integrity of its three-dimensional network structure depends on the three-dimensional synergistic effects of the basement membrane skeleton composed of type IV collagen, the anchoring fiber system formed by type VII collagen, and the transmembrane signal transduction network mediated by type XVII collagen. With age, the DEJ layer significantly thins, and the loss of reticular ridges leads to a reduction in its surface area, presenting a flat appearance, which in turn affects the skin's resistance to shear forces and makes the skin more vulnerable to damage.

[0003] The anti-aging solutions in the prior art mainly focus on exogenous macromolecular collagen supplementation or single polypeptide targeting, but these methods have obvious limitations. For example, exogenous macromolecular collagen supplementation is difficult to effectively penetrate into the DEJ layer and reconstruct its complex three-dimensional network structure; while single polypeptide targeting has limited action targets and cannot comprehensively activate the key signal pathways of the DEJ layer. In addition, the complexity of the DEJ layer makes it a major challenge in the field of anti-aging research.

[0004] Chinese Patent (CN118873431A) discloses a polypeptide composition for promoting skin repair, including palmitoyl tripeptide-5, acetyl hexapeptide-37, snow lotus stem cell extract, etc., which can synergistically enhance the skin barrier function and is suitable for the repair of sensitive skin, but this solution does not disclose the repair effect on the skin DEJ.

[0026] The technical solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1 Mix the polypeptide Pep-IV with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, the polypeptide Pep-VII with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and the polypeptide Pep-XVII with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.3 in a weight ratio of 1:1:1 to obtain a polypeptide complex.

[0030] Experimental Example Pep-IV, Pep-VII, and Pep-XVII were selected through the database, and the sequences are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Sequences of Pep-IV, Pep-VII, and Pep-XVII

[0031] Under the mass ratio (Pep-IV : Pep-VII : Pep-XVII) = (10% - 40%) : (10% - 70%) : (15% - 50%), explore the promoting effect of this composite polypeptide on type IV, type VII, and type XVII collagens. Finally, the only ratio with the best promoting effect on the three key collagens in the DEJ was screened out, which is (Pep-IV : Pep-VII : Pep-XVII) = 1 : 1 : 1, and the composite polypeptide obtained at this ratio was named the polypeptide complex.

[0032] The specific test process is as follows: Determine the COL4A1 、 COL7A1 and COL17A1 gene expression by RT-qPCR (real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction): Seed HaCaT cells in the logarithmic growth phase at 1×10 6Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells / well in a 6-well plate and cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h. The culture medium was discarded, and the sample group was added with the sample (mixed at a set ratio, with the final concentration of the total peptide being 10 ppm, 10 mg / L, the same below), while the control group and the model group were added with serum-free medium. Then, they were cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h. The culture medium was discarded, and the cells were treated with UVB (ultraviolet B band, 60 mJ / cm 2 ), and the cells in the blank control group did not need to be treated with UVB. After the treatment, serum-free medium was added, and they were cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were collected after washing twice with PBS. RNA was extracted and reverse-transcribed into cDNA, followed by RT-qPCR.

[0033] The experimental results are as Figures 1A - 1C shown: After UVB irradiation, the relative expression levels of COL4A1, COL7A1, COL17A1 genes in the model group (NC) HaCaT cells were significantly decreased, indicating that the model was effective. When (Pep-IV : Pep-VII : Pep-XVII) = 1:1:1 (the final concentration of the total peptide was 10 ppm), the relative expression levels of COL4A1, COL7A1, COL17A1 genes were increased by 34.8%, 49.38%, and 75.77% respectively. This was the only ratio that significantly promoted the expression of the three collagen genes in the DEJ among the tested ratios. The composite polypeptide at this ratio was named polypeptide complex.

[0034] The comparative study results of the promoting effects of the polypeptide complex and the single collagen of the same sequence on the three collagens in the DEJ showed that the promoting effects of the polypeptide complex on type IV, type VII, and type XVII collagens were better than those of Pep-IV, Pep-VII, and Pep-XVII, with a synergistic effect.

[0035] The specific test process is as follows: The expression levels of COL4A1 , COL7A1 and COL17A1 genes were determined by RT-qPCR: HSF cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded at a density of 1×10 6 cells / well in a 6-well plate and cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h. The culture medium was discarded, and the sample group was added with the sample (the final concentrations of the single sample and the mixed sample were 10 ppm respectively; the final concentration of the positive reference sample was 100 ppm VC + 7 ppm VE), while the control group and the model group were added with serum-free medium. Then, they were cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h. The culture medium was discarded, and the cells were treated with UVB (60 mJ / cm 2)(Treat the cells (the blank control group does not need to be treated with UVB). After the treatment, add serum-free medium and culture in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h; discard the supernatant, wash twice with PBS, and then collect the cells; extract RNA, reverse transcribe it into cDNA, and then perform RT-qPCR.)

[0036] The experimental results are as Figures 2A - 2C shown (1:1:1-DEJ in the figure is the polypeptide complex in the present invention, and 1:1:1-DEJ in the subsequent experimental results Figure 3 and Figure 4 is the same as above): After UVB irradiation, the relative expression levels of COL4A1 , COL7A1 , COL17A1 genes in the model group (NC) HSF cells COL4A1 , COL7A1 , COL17A1 were significantly decreased, indicating that the model was effective. The relative expression levels of

[0037] genes were increased by 27.01%, 49.48%, and 84.70% respectively by the polypeptide complex, and the promoting effects were significantly better than those of Pep-IV, Pep-VII, and Pep-XVII, indicating that the polypeptide complex was beneficial to targeting the strong and tough DEJ and promoting the expression of three collagens in DEJ.)

[0037] Effect of the polypeptide complex on LAMA2 gene expression Using the co-culture system of keratinocytes incubated with the sample and fibroblasts stimulated by UVA (ultraviolet A band) + UVB, based on transcriptome sequencing analysis, the effect of the polypeptide complex on the genes related to ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins in skin cell signal transduction was studied. LAMA2 is a key gene of the laminin family and one of the main components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It plays an important role in maintaining the basement membrane structure, cell adhesion and signal transduction, promoting cell migration and tissue repair, regulating immune response and inflammation, etc. The results showed that after the action of the polypeptide complex, the expression of LAMA2 gene could be significantly promoted, and the promotion rate was 102.26%, and the effect was better than that of the single collagen with the same sequence.)

[0038] The specific test process is as follows: (1) Cell seeding: After resuscitating the cells, when the plating rate reaches about 60%, seed keratinocytes (HaCaT) into a Transwell cell culture plate and seed fibroblasts into a 6-well plate, and incubate overnight in a CO2 incubator (37°C, 5% CO2). After the incubation, the fibroblasts continue to be incubated for 7.5 h, and then irradiated with UVA and UVB, and the irradiation dose is UVA (30 J / cm 2), and UVB (50 mJ / cm 2 ), with an irradiation time of 0.5 h. Keratinocytes (HaCaT) were subjected to subsequent drug administration operations; (2) Solution preparation: Prepare the working solutions of the test substances according to the test groups; (3) Drug administration: According to the test groups, when the cell seeding rate in the Transwell cell culture plate reached 40% - 60%, grouped drug administration was carried out, with 3 replicate wells set in each group. In the blank control group and the negative control group, 1 mL of culture medium was added to each well. In positive control group 1, 1 mL of culture medium containing EGF (1 ppb, 1 μg / L) was added to each well. In positive control group 2, 1 mL of culture medium containing retinol (10 μM) was added to each well. In the sample group, 1 mL of culture medium containing the test sample at the corresponding concentration (10 ppm) was added to each well. After drug administration, the Transwell cell culture plate was placed in a CO2 incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2) and cultured for 8 h; (4) Co - culture: The Transwell cell culture plate was placed on a 6 - well plate and cultured in a CO2 incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2) for 24 h; (5) Transcriptome sample collection: After incubation, the culture medium was discarded and the cells were collected; (6) After washing twice with PBS, RNA extraction and library construction were carried out; (7) Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent according to the instructions. The purity and quantification of RNA were identified using a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, USA), and the integrity of RNA was evaluated using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, USA). A transcriptome library was constructed using the VAHTS Universal V5 RNA - seq Library Prep kit according to the instructions; (8) The library was sequenced and data processed using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 sequencing platform. The HISAT2 software was used for reference genome alignment, and the gene expression level (FPKM) was calculated; (9) Data screening criteria: Pair - wise comparisons were made between groups, and a p value < 0.05 was selected as candidate differential genes, and their gene functions were further investigated.

[0039] The experimental results are as Figure 3 shown: Compared with the blank group (BC), the ECM protein - related genes in the model group (NC) LAMA2Downregulation indicates the effectiveness of the model. Compared with the model group (NC), after the action of the polypeptide complex, the expression of the LAMA2 gene can be significantly promoted, with a promotion rate of 102.26%, and the effect is better than that of the single collagen with the same sequence.

[0040] Effect of polypeptide complex on the expression of multiple collagen genes Using the co-culture system of keratinocytes after incubation with samples and fibroblasts after combined UVA+UVB stimulation, based on transcriptome sequencing analysis, the effect of the polypeptide complex on the expression of multiple collagen genes was studied.

The catalytic domain of MMP-19 can hydrolyze basement membrane components type IV collagen, laminin and collagen, as well as large tenascin C isoforms, fibronectin and type I gelatin, indicating that MMP-19 is an effective basement membrane degrading enzyme that can hydrolyze multiple extracellular matrix components. The specific test process is the same as above.

[0041] The experimental results are shown in Table 2: Compared with the BC group, the NC group COL6A2, COL8A1, COL14A1, COL16A1 The relative gene expression levels decreased by 16.28%, 162.84%, 171.19%, 42.64% respectively, MMP19 The relative gene expression level increased by 34.78%, indicating the effectiveness of the model.

NEIL3 The gene encodes a DNA glycosylase. This type of glycosylase initiates the first step of base excision repair by cleaving bases damaged by reactive oxygen species and introducing DNA strand breaks through related lyase reactions. LIG1 The gene encodes a member of the ATP - dependent DNA ligase protein family. The encoded protein plays a role in DNA replication, recombination, and base excision repair.

An expression ratio > 1 indicates an increase in the expression level, and an expression ratio < 1 indicates a decrease in the expression level; COL4, COL7, and COL17 refer to Pep-IV, Pep-VII, and Pep-XVII screened in Example 1, respectively.

[0048] Effects of the polypeptide complex on cyclin-related genes Using the co-culture system of keratinocytes after incubation with the sample and fibroblasts after UVA+UVB combined stimulation, the effects of the polypeptide complex on cyclin-related genes were studied based on transcriptome sequencing analysis. CDK4 and CDK2 both genes encode a kind of cyclin-dependent kinase and belong to CDK the family, which is a key factor in cell cycle regulation, especially playing a core role in the G1 / S phase transition.

[0054] Test results of the Raman permeability of the polypeptide complex in human body Select the front area of the human forearm for Raman testing in the human body: The sample used for testing is DEJ Booter, and the application dosage is 5 mg / cm 2 , and a test skin area of 1×1 cm 2 is selected. Use a LabRAM Odyssey high-speed high-resolution confocal Raman spectrometer (HORIBA) to conduct tests at time points of 0 h, 0.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h; the number of test subjects is 1 person, and the test area is 3 pieces of 1×1 cm 2 test skin area, and 5 points are selected in each test area for parallel testing 3 times. Calculate the relative permeability of the polypeptide complex.

[0055] Raman spectral imaging data processing includes spectral preprocessing and data analysis. The spectral preprocessing process includes removing cosmic rays, spectral smoothing, removing background noise, baseline calibration, and spectral normalization, etc. Univariate data analysis is mainly for the biochemical substances corresponding to a specific peak position, and Raman spectral data analysis is performed to show the distribution of this substance in human skin.

[0056] For data analysis, the Labspec software was used to perform baseline calibration on the Raman spectrogram and confirm the positions of characteristic peaks, and calculations were carried out on the obtained Raman spectra, including peak intensity, peak shift, peak area, full width at half maximum, etc.; at the same time, the Labspec software was used for numerical analysis of the peak intensities corresponding to different depths and the drawing of their spatial distributions.

[0057] For the obtained Raman spectrogram, after spectral preprocessing, the initial appearance position of the Raman signal was used as the 0 μm position of the skin surface, and after feature selection, the changes in the keratin / lipid-related characteristic information and the changes in the water content in the skin with the depth in the skin were used to determine the junction between the stratum corneum and the viable epidermis and the junction between the viable epidermis and the dermis, so as to confirm the information related to the skin depth. Then, the characteristic Raman signal of this product, which is different from the skin intrinsic signal, was used to confirm its distribution in different skin depth spaces, so as to depict the penetration behavior of the product. The software was used to perform a normal distribution test of the data (Shapiro-Wilk Test). If it was normally distributed, a paired t test was used, otherwise a Wilcoxon signed-rank test for two related samples was used.

[0058] Relative permeability (%) = Raman spectral intensity of the active substance entering the skin / Raman spectral intensity of the active substance applied on the skin * 100% The experimental results are as Figure 5 shown: After using the polypeptide complex on the in-vivo skin of humans, the relative permeabilities of the polypeptide complex at 0.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h were 13.57%, 30.88%, 52.35%, and 60.45% respectively. It can reach the DEJ layer in 2 h, effectively strengthening and toughening the skin basement membrane.

[0059] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
