Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a strain of Staphylococcus wartii CCSM005 isolated from human skin that has the effect of improving skin health, and its post-biotics, belonging to the fields of microbial technology and pharmaceutical technology. Background Technology
[0002] The skin barrier, the outer protective layer of the skin, is mainly composed of the stratum corneum, sebum, and natural moisturizing factors. It plays a crucial role in preventing moisture loss and resisting the invasion of harmful external substances. A healthy skin barrier maintains the skin's moisture balance, preventing excessive dryness or sensitivity. When the barrier is damaged, the skin is prone to dryness, sensitivity, and even inflammation or infection. Furthermore, the condition of the skin can reveal information about the body's immune function, nutrient absorption, and hormonal balance. When the skin experiences dryness, inflammation, or allergies, it often indicates potential health problems such as vitamin deficiencies, endocrine disorders, or weakened immunity. Therefore, maintaining healthy skin is essential for overall health.
[0003] Current methods for repairing the skin barrier mainly revolve around lipid replenishment, moisturizing, and anti-inflammation, but they still have significant limitations. While exogenous lipids (such as ceramides and cholesterol) can fill the skin's lipid deficit in the short term, they cannot truly promote the synthesis of endogenous lipids, and barrier reconstruction often lacks sustainability. Moisturizers, although reducing TEWL (transient endothelial protein) levels, do not have the ability to regulate immunity and cellular metabolism. Anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants mostly act on the symptom level, and long-term use may lead to irritation or tolerance problems. Therefore, these methods can usually only "passively repair" the structure and are difficult to fundamentally restore the skin's biological homeostasis.
[0004] In contrast, microbial postbiotics have irreplaceable advantages: their active molecules can directly regulate keratinocyte metabolism, promote the endogenous synthesis of key barrier lipids such as ceramides and free fatty acids, while simultaneously regulating immunity, inhibiting inflammation, and restoring the balance of the skin's microecology, thus achieving a shift from "structural replacement" to "functional self-repair." This multi-target bioregulation of the skin barrier is difficult to achieve with traditional chemical components. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0040] The human keratinocytes (HaCaT) involved in the following examples were purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank.
[0041] The culture media involved in the following examples are as follows: TSB liquid medium: tryptone: 17.0 g / L; soybean peptone: 3.0 g / L; sodium chloride: 5.0 g / L; potassium dihydrogen phosphate: 2.5 g / L and glucose: 2.5 g / L.
[0042] TSB solid medium: tryptone: 17.0 g / L; soybean peptone: 3.0 g / L; sodium chloride: 5.0 g / L; potassium dihydrogen phosphate: 2.5 g / L; glucose: 2.5 g / L and agar powder 20 g / L.
[0043] Modified BHI screening solid culture medium: bovine brain extract: 4.0 g / L, bovine heart extract: 4.0 g / L, peptone: 5.0 g / L, casein peptone: 16.0 g / L, sodium chloride: 5.0 g / L, glucose: 2.0 g / L, disodium hydrogen phosphate: 2.5 g / L, nicotinic acid: 0.3 g / L, neomycin: 0.4 g / L, and agar: 20 g / L.
[0044] Cell culture medium: 89% (v / v) DMEM medium + 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum + 1% (v / v) 100× penicillin and streptomycin mixed solution (penicillin content 10000 U / mL, streptomycin concentration 10 mg / mL).
[0045] Example 1: Cell resuscitation and culture First, remove the frozen human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) from the -80℃ freezer, thaw it rapidly in a 37℃ water bath, then add 5 mL of cell culture medium and centrifuge at 1000 r / min for 3 min, discarding the supernatant. Resuspend the cells in 1 mL of cell culture medium and place them in a culture dish, then incubate in a 37℃ incubator containing 5% CO2. When the cells regain viability and reach 70%-80% confluence after 1-2 days, passage the cells.
[0046] Example 2: Isolation and screening of Staphylococcus warwick The bacterial strain was screened from healthy human skin. A sterile swab was applied to the back of the hand three times with physiological saline, and then streaked directly onto a modified BHI screening solid medium. The culture was incubated at 37°C for 48 hours. Large, pale yellow, round colonies were selected and enriched in BHI liquid medium for 16 hours. The bacterial culture was then transferred to BHI solid plates for purification and incubation for 48 hours. Finally, single colonies were transferred to BHI liquid medium for enrichment. The strain was preserved in 30% glycerol. The genome of the strain was extracted, and 16S rDNA was amplified and sequenced (performed by Suzhou Genewiz Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The results, confirmed by NCBI sequence alignment, identified it as *Staphylococcus warwickii*, and it was named *Staphylococcus warwickii*. Staphylococcus warneri The strain CCSM005 is described in the Guangdong Provincial Center for Microbial Culture Collection (GDMCC No. 64899).
[0047] Example 3: Preparation of postbiotics from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 (1) Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 was streaked from the preservation tube and revived. It was then cultured in a water-jacketed incubator at 37°C for 48 h on BHI solid medium to obtain single colonies. Single colonies were picked and inoculated into BHI liquid medium and cultured at 37°C for 12-18 h to obtain culture solution 1. Culture solution 1 was inoculated into TSB liquid medium at an inoculation rate of 2% (v / v) and cultured at 37°C for 12 h to obtain seed culture; The seed culture was inoculated into TSB liquid medium at 2% (v / v) for expansion culture, and cultured at 37℃ for 18 h. The number of viable bacteria was recorded and bacterial culture a was obtained.
[0048] The bacterial culture a was centrifuged at 8000 r / min for 30 min, and the supernatant and bacterial sludge were collected. The supernatant was heat-treated (65℃, 30 min) and freeze-dried to obtain powder for later use, thus preparing the freeze-dried powder of Staphylococcus warwick fermentation supernatant (denoted as CCSM005-Q). The bacterial sludge was resuspended in 75% of the original bacterial culture volume of double-distilled water, and the resuspended liquid was heat-treated (65℃, 30 min), and then homogenized under high pressure (1000 MPa, 10 times) using a high-pressure homogenizer. After homogenization, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation at 8000 r / min for 30 min to obtain the bacterial cell lysate (denoted as CCSM005-S).
[0049] The following were prepared by the above methods: Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 postbiotic (cell lysate CCSM005-S and lyophilized fermentation supernatant CCSM005-Q).
[0050] Example 4: Establishment of an in vitro model of keratinocyte damage caused by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (HaCaT) (1) Take 100 μL of HaCaT cells in the logarithmic growth phase and use 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ ppm. 4 Cells were seeded at a concentration of 100 cells / well in 96-well plates, with the outermost ring filled with PBS solution to prevent edge effects. After culturing for 36 h to allow the cells to adhere, blank control, control and SDS treatment groups were set up. Control group: Contains only cell culture medium and does not contain HaCaT cells; Control group: Contains cell culture medium and HaCaT cells, but does not contain SDS; Treatment groups: containing cell culture medium, HaCaT cells, and SDS at final concentrations of 6.25 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL, respectively.
[0051] (2) The above well plates were incubated in an incubator at a temperature of 37°C for 6 h, 12 h and 24 h respectively. After incubation, 10 μL of CCK8 solution was added to each well and incubated for 1.5 h to measure the absorbance (OD) at 450 nm.
[0052] Cell viability is calculated using the following formula: Cell viability (%) = (OD value of treatment group - OD value of blank group) / (OD value of control group - OD value of blank group) × 100%.
[0053] (3) The effect on cell activity after nonlinear regression fitting is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, compared with the control group (cell proliferation rate 100%), the cell viability of the model group treated with 15 μg / mL SDS for 6 h was 60.6%, and SDS modeling caused significant damage to HaCaT cells.
[0054] Example 5: Safety verification of postbiotics prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 on HaCaT cells (1) Take 100 μL of HaCaT cells in the logarithmic growth phase and use 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ ppm. 4 Cells per well were seeded at a concentration of 100 cells / well in 96-well plates, with the outermost ring filled with PBS solution to prevent edge effects. After culturing for 36 h to allow the cells to adhere, blank control, control and post-genetic treatment groups were set up. Control group: Contains only cell culture medium and does not contain HaCaT cells; Control group: Contains cell culture medium and HaCaT cells, but does not contain post-genetics; The post-genetic treatment group contained cell culture medium and HaCaT cells, as well as post-genetic agents.
[0055] The metabiotic was resuspended in cell culture medium to obtain a metabiotic solution (the amount of resuspended metabiotic was the same as that fermented to a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶). 7 (The amount of postbiotic prepared from bacterial culture of CFU / ml is equivalent), add 100 μL of postbiotic solution prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005.
[0056] (2) The above well plates were incubated in an incubator at 37°C for 24 h. After incubation, 10 μL of CCK8 solution was added to each well and incubated for 1.5 h. The absorbance (OD) at 450 nm was measured.
[0057] Cell viability was calculated using the following formula: Cell viability (%) = (OD value of treated group - OD value of blank group) / (OD value of control group - OD value of blank group) × 100% Effects on cell viability, such as Figure 2 As shown, compared with the control group (cell proliferation rate 100.79%), the addition of postbiotics composed of Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 (CCSM005-Q and CCSM005-S) at an inactivated cell concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ cells significantly improved cell proliferation. 7 The cell proliferation rates at CFU / ml were 101.38% and 101.24%, respectively.
[0058] According to the ISO 10993-5:2009 toxicity classification evaluation method, cells with a viability greater than 70% can be considered non-toxic. The above results indicate that an inactivated bacterial concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ is appropriate. 7 HaCaT cells at a postbiotic concentration of CFU / ml showed high viability (over 95%). Considering their lack of cytotoxicity, an inactivated cell concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ was selected. 7 CFU / ml is a suitable postbiotic concentration for subsequent cell experiments.
[0059] Example 6: Effect of post-biotic prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 on SDS-induced damage to HaCaT cells (1) Take 100 μL of HaCaT cells in the logarithmic growth phase and use 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ ppm. 4 A concentration of cells / well was seeded into 96-well plates, with the outermost ring filled with PBS solution to prevent edge effects. After culturing for 36 h to allow the cells to adhere, control group 1 was obtained. (2) Set up control group, model group and treatment group respectively for the well plates prepared in step (1), and then incubate them in an incubator at 37 °C for 6 h: Control group: After changing the medium of control group 1 in step (1), it contains cell culture medium and HaCaT cells, without post-genetic treatment and without SDS modeling agent; Model group: The control group 1 in step (1) was replaced with a cell culture medium containing 15 μg / mL SDS, containing the original HaCaT cells, without post-genetic treatment; the cell culture medium containing SDS modeling agent was prepared by mixing SDS evenly in the culture medium and passing it through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane for sterilization, so that the final concentration of SDS in the cell culture medium was 15 μg / mL. Postgenetic treatment group: The treatment method is the same as that of the model group.
[0060] (3) After incubation, discard the original culture medium and wash once with PBS. Add the corresponding metagenic solution to the metagenic treatment group, and add an equal volume of cell culture medium to the control group and the model group. Incubate again for 24 hours.
[0061] In the metabiotic treatment group, the metabiotics were resuspended in cell culture medium to obtain a metabiotic solution (the amount of resuspended metabiotics was the same as that fermented to a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶). 7 The amount of postbiotic prepared from bacterial culture of CFU / ml is equivalent, and 100 μL of postbiotic solution prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 is added to each solution.
[0062] (4) Add 10 μL of CCK8 solution to each well and incubate for 1.5 h to measure the absorbance (OD) at 450 nm.
[0063] Cell viability was calculated using the following formulas: Model group cell viability (%) = (Model group OD value - Blank group OD value) / (Control group OD value - Blank group OD value) × 100%; Treatment group cell viability (%) = (Treatment group OD value - Blank group OD value) / (Control group OD value - Blank group OD value) × 100%.
[0064] The results of the effect of post-genetic agents on SDS-induced HaCaT cell damage are as follows: Figure 3Compared with the control group (cell viability 96.94%), the cell viability of the model group was 66.52%, indicating that SDS modeling caused damage to HaCaT cells.
[0065] After adding CCSM005-S and CCSM005-Q to the treatment groups, the cell viability was 80.65% and 74.36%, respectively. Compared with the model group (66.52%), CCSM005-S can improve the viability of HaCaT cells, indicating that the metagenetic product (cell lysate) of Staphylococcus warwickii CCSM005 can effectively alleviate the damage caused by SDS to HaCaT cells.
[0066] Example 7: Effect of post-genetic agents prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 on FLG gene expression in HaCaT cells damaged by SDS. (1) HaCaT cells were injected at a concentration of 1.8 × 10⁻⁶. 4 One cell per well was seeded into a 6-well plate and cultured for 36 hours until the cells adhered to the plate, thus obtaining control group 1.
[0067] (2) Set up control group, model group and treatment group respectively for the well plates prepared in step (1), and then incubate them in an incubator at 37℃ for 6 h: Control group: After changing the medium of control group 1 in step (1), it contains cell culture medium and HaCaT cells, without post-genetic treatment and without SDS modeling agent; Model group: The control group 1 in step (1) was replaced with a cell culture medium containing 15 μg / mL SDS, containing the original HaCaT cells, without post-genetic treatment; the cell culture medium containing SDS modeling agent was prepared by mixing SDS evenly in the cell culture medium and passing it through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane for sterilization, so that the final concentration of SDS in the cell culture medium was 15 μg / mL; Postgenetic treatment group: The treatment method is the same as that of the model group.
[0068] (3) After incubation, discard the original culture medium and wash once with PBS. Add the corresponding metagenic solution to the metagenic treatment group, and add an equal volume of cell culture medium to the control group and the model group. Incubate again for 24 hours.
[0069] In the metabiotic treatment group, the metabiotics were resuspended in cell culture medium to obtain a metabiotic solution (the amount of resuspended metabiotics was the same as that fermented to a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶). 7 The amount of postbiotic prepared from the bacterial culture of CFU / ml is equivalent), and 2 mL of postbiotic solution prepared by Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 (CCSM005-S) is added to each.
[0070] (4) After incubation, discard the culture supernatant, wash each well three times rapidly with PBS, add 1 mL of cell lysis buffer to each well, repeatedly pipette, extract RNA from the cell lysis buffer, and reverse transcribe it into cDNA using an RT-PCR reverse transcription kit. Detect gene expression in HaCaT cells using real-time quantitative PCR. -△△Ct Formula calculation FLG The mRNA expression levels were measured, with GAPDH as the internal reference. The primers are described in Table 1 below, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0071] Table 1 Primer Sequences
[0072] Filamentin (FLG) plays a crucial role in the skin barrier function. It is an important molecule connecting keratin fibers in the stratum corneum, forming a robust physical barrier on the outermost layer of the epidermis by helping keratin fibers aggregate in an orderly manner, preventing moisture loss and blocking the invasion of external allergens. FLG deficiency is closely associated with various skin diseases, such as eczema (atopic dermatitis) and ichthyosis. In these diseases, FLG deficiency or absence weakens the skin barrier function, making the skin more sensitive to external stimuli. Therefore, reducing SDS-induced damage to keratinocytes by increasing FLG gene expression has become a therapeutic target. FLG expression results are obtained from… Figure 4 It can be seen that the expression level of FLG mRNA in the control group was 1, while the expression level in the model group decreased to 0.8 after SDS intervention. The postbiotic (cell lysate) prepared by Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 significantly upregulated the expression level of FLG mRNA to 1.27.
[0073] Example 8: Effect of post-genetic agents prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 on ZO-1 protein gene expression in HaCaT cells damaged by SDS. For specific implementation details, refer to Example 7. After incubation, discard the culture supernatant, wash each well three times rapidly with PBS, add 1 mL of cell lysis buffer to each well, repeatedly pipette, extract RNA from the cell lysis buffer, and reverse transcribe it into cDNA using an RT-PCR reverse transcription kit. Detect gene expression in HaCaT cells using real-time quantitative PCR. -△△Ct Formula calculation ZO-1 , Occludin and CLDN The mRNA expression levels were measured, with GAPDH as the internal reference. The primers are described in Table 2 below, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0074] Table 2 Primer Sequences
[0075] ZO-1 (Zonula Occludens-1) is a tight junction protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier. The skin barrier is an important line of defense against the invasion of harmful external substances and water loss. Tight junctions are specialized structures between epithelial cells that seal intercellular spaces, restricting the passage of water, ions, and pathogens. ZO-1 enhances the skin barrier's shielding function by connecting the cytoskeleton with other tight junction proteins. Specifically, ZO-1 expression is mediated by… Figure 5 As shown, the mRNA expression of ZO-1 protein in the model group decreased to 0.47, while the expression of ZO-1 protein was upregulated to 1.97 after partial repair by Staphylococcus warwickiana CCSM005 cell lysate.
[0076] Example 9: Effect of post-genetic agents prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 on CLDN protein gene expression in HaCaT cells damaged by SDS. For specific implementation details, refer to Example 7. After incubation, discard the culture supernatant, wash each well three times rapidly with PBS, add 1 mL of cell lysis buffer to each well, repeatedly pipette, extract RNA from the cell lysis buffer, and reverse transcribe it into cDNA using an RT-PCR reverse transcription kit. Detect gene expression in HaCaT cells using real-time quantitative PCR. -△△Ct Formula calculation CLDN The mRNA expression levels were measured, with GAPDH as the internal reference. The primers are described in Table 3 below, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.
[0077] Table 3 Primer Sequences
[0078] Claudins (CLDNs) are important members of the tight junction protein family and play a crucial role in maintaining skin barrier function. Tight junctions are a form of intercellular connection that controls the permeation of substances between cells, preventing water loss and the invasion of harmful external substances. CLDNs ensure the stability and selective permeability of the skin barrier by regulating intercellular permeability. Different types of CLDN proteins (such as CLDN-1 and CLDN-4) are expressed in the skin, contributing to maintaining skin hydration and protection. CLDN expression is influenced by… Figure 6 As shown, the mRNA expression of CLDN protein in the model group decreased to 0.65, while the expression of CLDN protein was upregulated to 1.52 after partial repair by Staphylococcus warwickiana CCSM005 cell lysate.
[0079] Example 10: Effect of post-genetic agents prepared from Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 on the expression of Occludin protein gene in HaCaT cells damaged by SDS. For specific implementation details, refer to Example 7. After incubation, discard the culture supernatant, wash each well three times rapidly with PBS, add 1 mL of cell lysis buffer to each well, repeatedly pipette, extract RNA from the cell lysis buffer, and reverse transcribe it into cDNA using an RT-PCR reverse transcription kit. Detect gene expression in HaCaT cells using real-time quantitative PCR. -△△Ct Formula calculation Occludin' The mRNA expression levels were measured, with GAPDH as the internal reference. The primers are described in Table 4 below, and the results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0080] Table 4 Primer Sequences
[0081] Occludin is an important transmembrane protein in tight junctions, playing a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier. Tight junctions regulate intercellular permeability by sealing intercellular spaces, protecting the skin from external stimuli and pathogens. Occludin interacts with other tight junction proteins, such as ZO-1 and Claudins, to help form and maintain tight junctions between cells, ensuring the structural and functional integrity of the skin barrier.

[0086] Table 5 Potentially effective substances related to the skin barrier in CCSM003
[0087] Example 12: Quantitative detection of potential active substances in Staphylococcus warwick CCSM005 based on non-target metabolomics results The substances in CCSM005 were detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the detection method was the same as in Example 11.
[0088] Based on the results of non-targeted metabolomics, L-glycine-valla dipeptide was detected in the sample after targeted quantitative detection. Figures 8-10 As shown, this substance was detected only in the fermentation supernatant, at a concentration of 0.82 ppm. L-Glutava dipeptide is a small molecule dipeptide with significant barrier regulatory potential, capable of promoting skin barrier recovery through multiple mechanisms. On one hand, this dipeptide can effectively reduce the activation of signals such as NF-κB, IL-1β, and TNF-α in keratinocytes under inflammatory stimulation, alleviating barrier damage caused by inflammation. On the other hand, L-Glutava dipeptide can promote keratinocyte differentiation and the expression of structural proteins (such as FLG, LOR, and IVL), while enhancing the production of barrier lipids such as ceramides, thereby restoring the density and integrity of the stratum corneum. In addition, its regulation of cellular energy metabolism and oxidative stress pathways also helps improve the skin's self-repair ability after injury, making the barrier more stable and more resistant to external stimuli.
