Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a collagen-probiotic microsphere for repairing female reproductive system cells and increasing vaginal elasticity, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The health of the female reproductive system is a crucial factor affecting women's quality of life. With age, childbirth, hormonal changes (especially the decline in estrogen levels during and after menopause), and certain pathological conditions, the female reproductive system often undergoes a series of degenerative changes, primarily including vaginal mucosal atrophy, decreased vaginal wall elasticity, vaginal dryness, and reduced lubrication. These symptoms not only lead to painful intercourse and a decline in the quality of sexual life but can also trigger complications such as recurrent vaginitis and urinary tract infections, seriously impacting women's physical and mental health.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used interventions for the above problems in clinical practice mainly include the following categories: (1) local estrogen preparations, such as estradiol ointment or vaginal tablets, which promote vaginal epithelial proliferation and angiogenesis by supplementing exogenous estrogen, but long-term use carries the risk of endocrine disruption; (2) vaginal lubricants, such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin matrix preparations, which only provide temporary lubrication and cannot fundamentally improve tissue elasticity and repair damaged mucosa; (3) pelvic floor physical therapy, such as laser or radiofrequency therapy, which can stimulate collagen regeneration, but are expensive and require multiple treatments, resulting in limited patient compliance. None of the above methods can simultaneously meet the three major needs of tissue repair, elasticity restoration, and microecological balance regulation.
[0004] Collagen is a key extracellular matrix component for maintaining the structure and elasticity of the vaginal wall, primarily consisting of type I and type III collagen. Studies have shown that a decrease in collagen content and cross-linking in the vaginal wall is a significant molecular basis for vaginal laxity and reduced elasticity. While orally administered collagen hydrolysates can provide amino acid substrates to support collagen synthesis, the proportion that reaches target tissues after absorption through the digestive tract is limited. Topical application of exogenous collagen faces challenges in maintaining its activity and insufficient mucosal permeability.
[0005] Furthermore, maintaining a balanced vaginal microecology is crucial. In healthy women, the vaginal flora, dominated by Lactobacillus, maintains an acidic environment (pH 3.8-4.5) by producing lactic acid, inhibiting the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms. Simultaneously, their metabolites play an important role in maintaining mucosal immune function. When the number of Lactobacillus decreases or the flora structure becomes imbalanced, pathogenic bacteria proliferate more easily, leading to infectious diseases such as bacterial vaginosis and aerobic vaginitis. Currently, commercially available probiotic vaginal preparations are mostly in suppository or capsule form, which have shortcomings such as short activity retention time, low colonization efficiency, and poor release controllability.
[0006] Therefore, developing a microsphere formulation that can simultaneously deliver collagen and probiotics, and has good mucosal adhesion and sustained-release properties, is of great clinical significance and application value for the repair of female reproductive system cells and the restoration of vaginal elasticity. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Comparative Example 1 The difference from Comparative Example 1 is that the modified MRS liquid medium lacks Tween-80 and rapeseed peptone, otherwise it is the same as Example 1.
[0034] Comparative Example 2 The difference from Comparative Example 1 is that the fermentation medium lacks Tween-80 and corn peptone, otherwise it is the same as Example 1.
[0035] Comparative Example 3 The difference from Comparative Example 1 is that: the cell wall breaking separation was not performed. Instead, 2.5% trehalose was added directly to the fermentation broth and stirred at 250 rpm and 8°C for 15 min. Then, 4% skim milk powder was added and stirred at 250 rpm and 8°C for 15 min. Next, 0.9% monosodium glutamate was added and stirred at 250 rpm and 8°C for 15 min. Then, 1.3% glycerol was added and stirred at 250 rpm and 8°C for 15 min. Finally, 0.4% L-cysteine was added and stirred at 250 rpm and 8°C for 15 min. The mixture was then pre-frozen at -50°C for 3 h and vacuum freeze-dried for 15 h to obtain the various probiotic powders. The rest was the same as in Example 1.
[0036] Comparative Example 4 The difference from Comparative Example 1 is that trehalose, skim milk powder, monosodium glutamate, glycerol and L-cysteine are mixed and added to the fermentation cell wall breaking liquid all at once, while the rest is the same as in Example 1.
[0037] Comparative Example 5 The difference from Comparative Example 1 is that collagen was directly added to a 7wt% acetic acid aqueous solution to prepare a collagen solution with a concentration of 15g / L. The coaxial electrostatic spraying method was used, with the collagen solution as the inner axis. Everything else was the same as in Example 1.
[0038] Comparative Example 6 The difference from Comparative Example 1 is that: instead of using the coaxial electrostatic spraying method, the modified collagen solution, probiotic powder and sodium alginate solution were directly mixed and cross-linked in calcium chloride solution to obtain collagen-probiotic microspheres. The rest is the same as in Example 1.
[0039] Test Example 1 The collagen-probiotic microspheres prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were tested for their antibacterial effects against vaginal pathogens: Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli. Experimental method: The Oxford cup method was used to adjust the concentration of each pathogenic bacterium to 1×10⁻⁶. 6 Take 0.1 mL of the bacterial suspension (CFU / mL) and spread it evenly on the surface of the corresponding solid culture medium. Place it in an Oxford cup and add 200 μL of the test sample solution (10 mg / mL) to each cup. Incubate at 37℃ for 24 h, measure the diameter of the inhibition zone, and calculate the inhibition rate.
[0040] Antibacterial rate (%) = (D 样品 D 空白 / D 阳性对照 D 空白 )×100%.
[0041] D 样品 The average diameter (mm) of the inhibition zone in the sample group is the arithmetic mean of measurements taken in two perpendicular directions; D 空白 : The average diameter (mm) of the inhibition zone in the blank control group, i.e., the diameter of the inhibition zone around the Oxford cup with an equal volume of physiological saline added; D 阳性对照 The average diameter (mm) of the inhibition zone in the positive control group was measured using an antibiotic (metronidazole 50 μg / mL) as the positive control.
[0042] The results are shown in Table 1.
[0043] Table 1
[0044] As can be seen from Table 1, the collagen-probiotic microspheres prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention can significantly inhibit pathogenic bacteria.
[0045] Test Example 2 The collagen-probiotic microspheres prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were tested for their effects on improving vaginal laxity and increasing elasticity.
[0046] Experimental Methods: 110 female SD rats, weighing 200-250g, were randomly divided into a blank control group (n=10) and an experimental group (n=100). The experimental group was anesthetized by injecting 2% lidocaine with a syringe. Under sterile conditions, an incision was made inside the vagina of each rat to create a vaginal defect. Exogenous relaxin was then administered to promote vaginal tissue proliferation and relaxation for 7 consecutive days. After 7 days, the skin, tissues, and muscles near the vagina were observed to be relaxed. Due to the relaxation of vaginal muscles, the vulva was somewhat open, slightly red and congested, and the vulva was moist with discharge. All rats in the experimental group successfully developed the model. Eighty successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into 10 groups of 10 each: the model group, Examples 1-3, and Comparative Examples 1-6. In Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-6, the corresponding collagen-probiotic microspheres were administered to the vaginal opening at a dose of 2 mg each time. The model group received no treatment. The above procedure was repeated after 24 hours. The efficacy was evaluated after 7 days of treatment.
[0047] The evaluation indicators include: 1. TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) affects the structure and function of vaginal tissue by regulating inflammatory responses and apoptosis; 2. VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) is a protein that promotes angiogenesis and repair, playing a crucial role in maintaining normal tissue blood supply and repairing damaged tissue. In the vagina, VEGF can promote vascular endothelial cell proliferation, stimulate the formation of new blood vessels, thereby increasing local blood flow, improving tissue nutrition, and helping to restore tissue elasticity and function; 3. Collagen I (COL-1) is the most abundant connective tissue protein in vaginal tissue, forming a fibrous structural support network that maintains the overall structure and morphology of vaginal tissue. The presence of COL-1 gives vaginal tissue a certain degree of tension and elasticity, contributing to vaginal tightness and strength; 4. Elastin is an elastic protein that helps maintain vaginal elasticity and tightness.
[0048] After homogenizing vaginal tissue, the expression of the above indicators was detected using an ELISA kit.
[0049] The results are shown in Table 2.
[0050] Table 2
[0051] Note: a) Compared with the control group, P<0.05; b) Compared with the model group, P<0.05.
[0052] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with the control group, the TNF-α content in the model group was significantly increased, while the VEGF, COL-1 and Elastin content was significantly decreased. After administering the collagen-probiotic microspheres prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention, the TNF-α content in rats decreased, while the VEGF, COL-1 and Elastin content increased.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
