Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of exosome extraction technology, specifically to a plant exosome, its extraction method, and its application in cosmetics. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of biotechnology and cosmetic science, exosomes, as a novel bioactive carrier, have shown broad application prospects in the fields of medicine, skincare, and regenerative medicine. Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles secreted by cells, rich in bioactive components such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (e.g., mRNA, miRNA), and possess excellent intercellular communication and bioregulatory functions. Studies have shown that plant-derived exosomes, similar to animal exosomes, can participate in cellular metabolic regulation, immune regulation, and tissue repair, while also possessing advantages such as wide availability, high safety, and ease of large-scale production, thus becoming a research hotspot in the cosmetic and biomedical fields.

[0003] Traditional exosome research has primarily focused on animal cells (such as mesenchymal stem cells and immune cells), but their application is limited due to potential immunogenicity, ethical controversies, and high costs associated with animal exosomes. In contrast, plant exosomes are naturally non-toxic, have low immunogenicity, and are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, plant cell culture conditions are simple, allowing for stable production through large-scale cultivation. Currently, plant exosome extraction methods generally suffer from low efficiency, easy damage to exosome integrity, or residual impurities.

[0004] In the cosmetics industry, consumers are increasingly demanding natural, safe, and highly effective active ingredients. Plant exosomes, with their natural origin and multiple biological functions, hold promise as a new generation of skincare active ingredients. However, current research on plant exosome extraction remains insufficient, necessitating the development of more efficient extraction technologies and in-depth verification of their specific efficacy in skincare. Therefore, exploring an efficient method for extracting plant exosomes and studying their application in cosmetics has significant scientific and market value. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0019] This invention provides a method for preparing plant exosomes, comprising: mixing plant tissue with a solvent, homogenizing under high pressure, adding an immobilized complex enzyme for enzymatic hydrolysis, filtering, centrifuging the enzymatic hydrolysate at differential speed, and then purifying it by size exclusion chromatography and ultrafiltration to obtain plant exosomes; wherein the solvent includes sodium chloride, trehalose, mannitol, glycerol, glutathione, L-cysteine ​​and Tween 80.

[0020] The solvent of the present invention preferably comprises, by concentration, 80-120 mM sodium chloride, 50-100 mg / mL trehalose, 0.5-1 mol / L mannitol, 40-60 mg / mL glycerol, 5-10 mM glutathione, 10-20 mM L-cysteine, and 15-25 mg / mL Tween 80; more preferably, it comprises 100 mM sodium chloride, 80 mg / mL trehalose, 0.8 mol / L mannitol, 50 mg / mL glycerol, 8 mM glutathione, 15 mM L-cysteine, and 20 mg / mL Tween 80. In this invention, sodium chloride in the solvent maintains an isotonic environment, protecting cell integrity; trehalose, a natural protective agent, stabilizes the exosome membrane structure and prevents degradation; mannitol, an osmotic regulator, synergistically protects cell membrane integrity; glycerol increases solvent viscosity, reducing mechanical damage to exosomes; glutathione and L-cysteine ​​act as antioxidants, inhibiting oxidative stress-induced damage to plant exosomes; and Tween 80, a surfactant, promotes cell wall rupture and exosome release. The solvent in this invention stabilizes the osmotic environment, reduces oxidative stress during exosome preparation, assists in disrupting plant tissue cell walls, promotes exosome release, and provides a suitable stable environment for subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis and centrifugation.

[0021] The preferred weight ratio of plant tissue to solvent in this invention is 1:5-10 g / mL, more preferably 1:8 g / mL.

[0022] The pressure of the high-pressure homogenization process described in this invention is preferably 50-70 MPa, more preferably 60 MPa; the temperature is preferably 2-5℃, more preferably 4℃; the number of cycles is preferably 3-5 times, more preferably 4 times, with each cycle lasting 35 seconds. High-pressure homogenization can disrupt the cell wall structure of cell tissues, promoting the release of exosomes. Processing at low temperatures can reduce thermal damage and minimize the destruction of active ingredients.

[0023] The immobilized composite enzyme of this invention is obtained by immobilizing cellulase, hemicellulase, and pectinase using an immobilization carrier. A preferred method for preparing the immobilized composite enzyme of this invention includes: selecting activated carbon particles with an average particle size of 180-220 mesh, activating them with high-temperature steam at 400-500℃ for 1.5-2.5 h, cooling to 55-65℃, immersing in 0.8-1.2M hydrochloric acid solution for 1-2 h, filtering, mixing the precipitate with 0.25-0.35mol / L nitric acid solution at a ratio of 1:8-12 g / mL, microwave-assisted oxidation at 80-90℃ and 600-800W for 20-30 min, cooling to 23-27℃, and washing with deionized water for 2-4 minutes. The immobilized carrier was dried to constant weight at 55-65℃. Cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, and the immobilized carrier were then added to PBS buffer and immobilized at 33-38℃ for 3 hours. After filtration, the mixture was washed 2-4 times with PBS buffer and filtered again to obtain the immobilized composite enzyme. The preferred enzymatic hydrolysis temperature was 37-42℃, more preferably 40℃; the preferred pH was 5-5.5, more preferably 5.2; the preferred rotation speed was 40-80 rpm, more preferably 50 rpm; and the preferred time was 40-50 min, more preferably 45 min. Cellulase, hemicellulase, and pectinase synergistically degrade plant cell wall polysaccharides, further promoting the release of exosomes. During the preparation of the immobilized composite enzyme, high-temperature activation and acid treatment increased the carrier porosity, thereby increasing the enzyme loading; microwave-assisted oxidation introduced functional groups such as carboxyl groups, further enhancing the binding ability between the enzyme and the carrier. Immobilizing the complex enzyme can improve its stability, avoid free enzyme residue, simplify subsequent purification steps, and allow for rapid separation from the enzyme hydrolysate through filtration, enabling repeated recycling and reducing production costs.

[0025] The differential centrifugation method of the present invention preferably includes: centrifuging the enzymatic hydrolysate sequentially at 300-700g for 8-12 min (to remove large particulate impurities such as cell debris and unbroken cells), at 1800-2200g for 18-22 min (to precipitate larger organelles (such as mitochondria and chloroplasts) and cell debris), and at 10000-14000g for 28-32 min (to collect smaller organelle debris and some vesicles), discarding the bottom precipitate, taking the supernatant, and centrifuging the supernatant at 120000-150000g for 45-65 min, and taking the precipitate. More preferably, it includes: centrifuging the enzymatic hydrolysate sequentially at 500g for 10 min, at 2000g for 20 min, and at 9000g for 30 min, then centrifuging the supernatant at 130000g for 50 min, and taking the precipitate.

[0026] The plant used in this invention is preferably one or more of the following: orchid, tea, lemon, chlorella, turmeric, ginseng, coix seed, dendrobium officinale, black truffle, and ganoderma.

[0027] The present invention also provides plant exosomes obtained by the above preparation method.

[0028] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned plant exosomes in the preparation of cosmetics.

[0029] This invention also provides a composition of plant exosomes, comprising Phalaenopsis orchid exosomes, ginseng exosomes, Job's tears exosomes, and Dendrobium officinale exosomes in a weight ratio of 1-3:2-4:1-3:2-4. This composition exhibits synergistic effects in antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and whitening through multi-component and multi-pathway synergy. Experimental results show that the exosome composition enhances free radical scavenging, inhibits tyrosinase activity, and reduces inflammatory factor levels, demonstrating excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and whitening effects, making it suitable for the development of multifunctional cosmetics.

[0050] Comparative Example 10 The exosome composition was obtained by mixing Phalaenopsis exosomes from Example 1, Coix seed exosomes from Example 3, and Dendrobium officinale exosomes from Example 4 in a weight ratio of 2:5:3.

[0051] Experimental Example 1 Antioxidant test The exosome compositions of Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 5-10 were mixed with 1×PBS buffer (pH 7.4) at a volume ratio of 3:97 and resuspended to obtain the test samples.

[0052] Using vitamin C as a positive control, vitamin C was mixed with 1×PBS buffer (pH 7.4) at a concentration of 0.03 g / mL and resuspended to obtain the sample to be tested.

[0053] The DPPH radical scavenging rate and ABTS of the test samples were measured respectively. + Free radical scavenging rate: three replicates per group, average value was taken, and the specific results are shown in Table 1.

[0054] DPPH and ABTS + Free radical scavenging rate was tested according to the kit instructions.

[0055] Table 1. DPPH radical scavenging rate and ABTS of different exosome compositions + Free radical scavenging rate

[0056] As shown in Table 1, the exosome compositions of Examples 5-7 exhibit significantly better antioxidant effects than the comparative examples, approaching the positive control. A comparison between Example 5 and Comparative Examples 5-6 reveals that the immobilized complex enzyme stabilizes enzyme activity through the carrier, reduces enzyme inactivation, improves enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, and increases cell wall disruption efficiency. Furthermore, the immobilization of the complex enzyme enhances the purity of exosomes and strengthens their antioxidant capacity. A comparison between Example 5 and Comparative Example 7 shows that during high-pressure homogenization and enzymatic hydrolysis, the solvent reduces oxidative damage to exosomes during extraction, stabilizes the membrane structure of exosomes, and indirectly enhances their antioxidant properties. A comparison between Example 5 and Comparative Example 8 shows that the selection of size exclusion chromatography packing material affects the antioxidant properties of exosomes. A comparison of data from Example 5 and Comparative Examples 9-10 indicates that the combined use of ginseng exosomes and coix seed exosomes significantly improves the antioxidant activity of the exosome composition. It is evident that optimizing the immobilized enzyme process, solvent composition, size exclusion chromatography packing material, and the synergistic effect of multiple components can significantly improve free radical scavenging efficiency and enhance antioxidant properties.

[0057] Experimental Example 2 Whitening test Mouse melanoma B16-F10 cells were cultured to confluence, then dispersed by dispersing with 1.5 mL of 0.25% trypsin to obtain a B16-F10 cell suspension. Logarithmic-phase B16-F10 cells (1×10⁶ cells) were collected. 5 Add 100 μL of cfu / mL to each well of a 96-well plate and incubate for 24 h.

[0058] The samples were divided into a blank control group, Example 5-7 groups, and Comparative Example 5-10 groups.

[0059] The exosome compositions of Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 5-10 were diluted with culture medium to a concentration of 0.4 mg / mL. After culturing for 24 h, the supernatant was aspirated, and 100 μL of culture medium containing the test sample was added to each well. The blank control group was added with only an equal amount of culture medium. Each group was repeated 5 times and incubated in an incubator for 72 h. The culture medium was discarded, and the samples were washed twice with PBS solution. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded, and 1 mL of 1% Triton X-100 solution was added to each well. The samples were frozen at -80℃ for 30 min, thawed at room temperature for 20 min, centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected. 60 μL of 0.5% L-L-DOPA solution was added and mixed well. The samples were incubated at 37℃ for 2 h, and the OD490 value was measured. Each group was repeated 3 times, and the tyrosinase activity inhibition rate was calculated. The average value was taken. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0060] Tyrosinase activity inhibition rate (%) = (Absorbance of blank group - Absorbance of sample) / Absorbance of blank group × 100%.

[0061] Table 2. Tyrosinase activity inhibition rate of different exosome compositions

[0062] As shown in Table 2, the examples exhibit a stronger tyrosinase inhibition rate compared to the comparative examples. A comparison of the data from Example 5 and Comparative Examples 6-7 shows that using immobilized complex enzymes and modifying activated carbon can improve the purity of exosomes, thereby increasing the tyrosinase inhibition rate. A comparison of Example 5 and Comparative Example 8 shows that the solvent can protect the stability of exosomes and protect the whitening ingredients through solubilization and reduction, thus improving the tyrosinase inhibition rate. A comparison of Example 5 and Comparative Examples 9-10 shows that ginseng exosomes and coix seed exosomes are key whitening components.

[0063] Experimental Example 3 Anti-inflammatory test RAW264.7 cells in the logarithmic growth phase (6 × 10⁻⁶) 4 100 μL of cfu / mL was added to each well of a 96-well plate and incubated for 36 h. The plates were divided into a blank control group, a model group, Examples 5-7, and Comparative Examples 5-10.

[0064] The exosome compositions of Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 5-10 were diluted with culture medium to a concentration of 0.03 g / mL to obtain the test samples. After culturing for 36 h, the supernatant was removed, and 100 μL of culture medium containing the test samples was added to each well. The blank control group and the model group were added with the same amount of culture medium. After incubation for 2 h, except for the blank control group, the other groups were treated with 1 μg / mL lipopolysaccharide for 24 h. The blank control group was treated with the same weight of culture medium. After 24 h, the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in each group were detected according to the ELISA kit. Each group was repeated 3 times, and the average value was taken. The specific results are shown in Table 3.

[0065] Table 3. Effects of different exosome compositions on the levels of TNF-α and IL-6.

[0066] Table 3 shows that the levels of inflammatory factors in the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group, indicating that the inflammation model was successfully constructed. The examples in this case study showed better inhibition of inflammatory factors and superior anti-inflammatory effects compared to the comparative examples. A comparison between Example 5 and Comparative Examples 5-8 shows that immobilizing the complex enzyme, modifying it with activated carbon, optimizing the solvent composition, and screening the size exclusion chromatography column packing material can significantly improve the anti-inflammatory effect of the exosome composition. A comparison between Example 5 and Comparative Examples 9-10 shows that the absence of ginseng exosomes and coix seed exosomes affects the overall anti-inflammatory effect.

[0067] In summary, this invention enhances the activity of exosomes by immobilizing complex enzymes, optimizing solvent components, and screening size exclusion chromatography column packing materials. The combined use of Phalaenopsis orchid exosomes, ginseng exosomes, coix seed exosomes, and Dendrobium officinale exosomes achieves optimal effects through multi-component and multi-pathway synergy, significantly improving the antioxidant, whitening, and anti-inflammatory efficacy of the exosome composition.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
