Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cosmetic technology and relates to a camellia anti-aging composition that energizes cells and regulates DNA methylation homeostasis. Background Technology

[0002] Current research on camellia flower and leaf extracts primarily focuses on increasing the content of flavonoid aglycones such as quercetin through enzymatic hydrolysis or macroporous resin purification, thereby enhancing downstream effects such as antioxidant activity, promotion of type I collagen synthesis, and cell migration and repair. However, these strategies only address the surface signs of aging and fail to address the fundamental driving factor at the epigenetic level, namely DNA methylation imbalance, resulting in limited anti-aging efficacy of current strategies.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application CN118773273A discloses a method and application for preparing anti-aging raw materials from camellia flowers and leaves using enzymatic hydrolysis. Although it can prepare quercetin to some extent by enzymatically hydrolyzing quercetin flavonoid glycosides in camellia flower extract and camellia leaf extract, the anti-aging efficacy of a single quercetin active ingredient remains limited. It is evident that the existing disclosed technology does not reveal any influence of camellia flower and leaf extracts on the DNA methylation regulatory enzyme system when combined with other plant components, nor does it achieve systematic methylation homeostasis repair.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct in-depth research into the mechanisms of anti-aging and to develop an anti-aging composition that regulates DNA methylation imbalance by combining camellia flower and leaf extracts with other plant components. Summary of the Invention

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the stirring speed is 100-300 r / min.

[0024] Thirdly, the present invention also provides the use of the aforementioned camellia anti-aging composition in the preparation of cosmetics.

[0025] Fourthly, the present invention also provides a cosmetic containing 0.001 to 1 wt.% of the camellia anti-aging composition.

[0026] As one embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic includes one of facial cleanser, facial cleansing cream, makeup remover, makeup remover water, shampoo, and shower gel.

[0027] This invention reveals that UVA stimulation can disrupt cellular DNA methylation homeostasis, leading to significant disruption of methyltransferase expression and demonstrating an epigenetic mechanism of aging. Specifically, the expression of promethyltransferases DNMT1 and DNMT3B and demethyltransferases TET2 and TET3 is significantly upregulated, while the expression of DNMT3A and TET1 is significantly downregulated. Based on this, this invention develops an anti-aging composition at the epigenetic level. Its mechanism of action is as follows: the compound composition, composed of magnolia flower extract, olive leaf extract, camellia flower extract, and camellia leaf extract, firstly exhibits synergistic antioxidant activity, laying the foundation for a redox environment conducive to methylation homeostasis repair. Specifically, olive leaf extract scavenge free radicals at their source, magnolia flower extract inhibits the inflammatory cascade, and quercetin in camellia flower / leaf extract activates the Nrf2 pathway to enhance endogenous antioxidant capacity, collectively protecting DNMT and TET enzymes from oxidative inactivation. Secondly, the compound formulation provides bidirectional and synergistic regulation of methyltransferases, reversing the abnormal expression of six methylation-related enzymes induced by UVA. It downregulates overactivated DNMT1, DNMT3B, TET2, and TET3 to normal levels, while simultaneously upregulating inhibited DNMT3A and TET1 back to normal, systematically restoring skin DNA methylation homeostasis at the epigenetic level. Specifically, the core active biphenyl lignans in magnolium flower extract, magnolol and honokiol, target and downregulate abnormally overexpressed DNMT1, TET2, and TET3, inhibiting oxidative stress-induced enzyme overactivation by binding to the enzyme catalytic pocket, while simultaneously preventing… This treatment disrupts inflammatory pathways, prevents hypomethylation of pro-inflammatory gene promoters, and stabilizes the basic methylation framework. Olive leaf extract, containing oleuropein, competitively inhibits the overexpression of DNMT1, DNMT3B, and TET3, clears ROS to prevent oxidative inactivation of DNMT and TET, and alleviates UVA-induced methyltransferase dysregulation at its source, reducing the abnormally high trend of de novo methylation (PMC). Camellia flower extract, rich in quercetin, bidirectionally regulates methyltransferases: downregulating DNMT1, DNMT3B, TET2, and TET3, and upregulating UV-inhibited DNMT3A and TET1; it also activates the Nrf2 pathway to increase intracellular NAD. +The formula provides cofactors for TET1 demethylation, repairing de novo methylation imbalance. Camellia leaf extract epigallocatechin gallate, in synergy with quercetin, inhibits excessive DNMT1 accumulation, stabilizes normal DNMT3A expression, and helps downregulate TET2 and TET3, maintaining the basic activity of TET1. Finally, the compound composition, based on the bidirectional regulation of the above six DNA methyltransferases, significantly enhances energy metabolism, improves metabolic defects in aging cells, and achieves anti-aging effects. The four extracts form a targeted closed loop, synergistically restoring the six UVA-disordered methyltransferases to physiological homeostasis, rebuilding the skin's DNA methylation balance. This solves the problem that existing anti-aging products only act on downstream events such as oxidative stress and collagen degradation, failing to address the upstream driving factor of epigenetic DNA methylation imbalance, achieving a breakthrough effect of systematically reversing skin aging from the perspective of epigenetic programming.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The compound composition of the present invention utilizes olive leaf extract to scavenge free radicals at the source, magnolia flower extract to inhibit the inflammatory cascade, and quercetin in camellia flower / leaf extract to activate the Nrf2 pathway and enhance endogenous antioxidant capacity. Together, they protect DNMT and TET enzymes from oxidative inactivation, achieving synergistic antioxidant effects and laying the foundation for redox environment for methylation homeostasis repair.

[0029] 2. This invention utilizes a compound composition consisting of magnolia flower extract, olive leaf extract, camellia flower extract, and camellia leaf extract to downregulate overactivated DNMT1, DNMT3B, TET2, and TET3 to normal levels, while simultaneously upregulating inhibited DNMT3A and TET1 back to normal. This reverses the abnormal expression of six methylation-related enzymes induced by UVA, systematically restoring skin DNA methylation homeostasis at the epigenetic level, thereby significantly enhancing skin cell energy metabolism and achieving anti-aging effects.

[0030] 3. The compound composition of this invention achieves multiple effects of anti-wrinkle, repair, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, filling the technical gap of natural product compound regulation of skin DNA methylation homeostasis. Moreover, the preparation process is simple, the ingredients are natural and safe, and it is suitable for various anti-aging skin care products. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 The ROS expression levels are relative to those of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4.

Extract at 70℃ for 10 hours. 3) Transfer the extract to a concentration tank and concentrate it at 0.1 MPa and 50°C to obtain olive leaf extract.

[0035] Camellia flower extract and camellia leaf extract: prepared according to Example 5 of CN118773273A, the quercetin content in the obtained extracts is ≥300ppm.

[0036] The preparation methods of the camellia anti-aging compositions in the examples and comparative examples include the following steps: Step 1: Weigh out water and magnolia flower extract, stir thoroughly at a speed of about 200 r / min to obtain mixture 1; Step 2: Weigh out the olive leaf extract and add it to mixture 1.

Step 3: Weigh out the camellia flower extract and camellia leaf extract, add them to mixture 2, and stir thoroughly at a stirring speed of about 200 r / min to obtain the camellia anti-aging composition.

[0037] Examples 1-3 The formulations of the camellia anti-aging compositions in Examples 1-3 are shown in Table 1: Table 1

[0038] Comparative Examples 1-4 The formulations of the camellia anti-aging compositions for Comparative Examples 1-4 are shown in Table 2: Table 2

[0039] Efficacy test 1. Antioxidant test and DNA methyltransferase test Using a UVA-induced skin cell oxidative stress and methylation homeostasis disorder model, intracellular ROS levels (antioxidant test) and the relative expression levels of six methylation-related enzymes (DNA methyltransferase test) were detected to evaluate the regulatory effect of the compound composition of the present invention on oxidative stress and DNA methylation homeostasis.

[0040] Antioxidant test: Human skin fibroblasts in logarithmic growth phase were digested and seeded into 96-well cell culture plates (100 µL per well) and incubated at 37 ℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 24 hours of adhesion, the culture medium was discarded, and different concentrations of complete culture medium for the tested samples (DMEM high-glucose medium (containing sodium pyruvate, Gibco, #11995065)) were added. An equal volume of complete culture medium was added to the control group. Each concentration was used in at least three replicates. After 24 hours of incubation, the culture medium was discarded, and CCK-8 working solution was added. Blank wells were also included, and the cells were incubated for 1-2 hours. Cells were collected, washed 2-3 times with PBS, and incubated with DCFH-DA probe dye at 37 ℃ in the dark for 30 minutes. After staining, the cells were washed 2-3 times with PBS, resuspended, and mitochondrial ROS content was detected by flow cytometry.

[0041] Methyltransferase test: Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded at an appropriate density in 6 cm cell culture plates and cultured for 24 h until cell confluence reached 70%-80%. The culture medium was then discarded, cells were washed with PBS, and irradiated with UVA. Subsequently, the treatment group was added to complete culture medium containing the test sample (DMEM high-glucose medium (containing sodium pyruvate, Gibco, #11995065)), while the control group was added to an equal volume of complete culture medium, and culture continued for another 24 h. After culture, the culture medium was discarded, cells were washed twice with PBS, and total RNA was extracted from each group of cells according to the kit instructions. After purity testing, the RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA. The expression levels of DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, TET1, TET2, and TET3 genes were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Using GAPDH as an internal reference gene, the relative expression levels of each target gene were calculated using the 2^-ΔΔCt method, as shown in the following formula: ΔCt = Ct target gene - Ct internal reference; ΔCt = ΔCt treatment group - ΔCt control group; Relative gene expression level = 2^-ΔΔCt.

[0042] Compared with the normal control group, the UVA model group showed a highly significant increase in intracellular ROS levels (####, P < 0.0001); at the same time, the expression of methyltransferases was significantly disordered: the expression of promethyltransferases DNMT1 and DNMT3B and demethyltransferases TET2 and TET3 was significantly upregulated, while the expression of DNMT3A and TET1 was significantly downregulated, confirming that UVA stimulation can induce oxidative stress imbalance and disrupt cellular DNA methylation homeostasis.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 The ROS detection results shown indicate that the complete compound systems of Examples 1-3 can significantly reduce UVA-induced increases in intracellular ROS. (P < 0.001), and the antioxidant capacity gradually increased with the increase of the ratio of magnolia flower extract, camellia flower extract, and camellia leaf extract. Example 3 showed the best ROS scavenging effect. Olive leaf extract and magnolia flower extract are the core antioxidant components of this system, which can scavenge ROS at the source, prevent DNMT and TET enzymes from being inactivated by oxidative damage, and lay the foundation for the redox environment for methylation homeostasis repair.

[0044] Table 3 shows that the quantitative results of methyltransferases indicate that Examples 1-3 can bidirectionally regulate six methylation-related enzymes, gradually reversing the expression abnormalities caused by UVA. With optimized concentrations of active components, Example 3 showed the best regulatory effect: it downregulated the abnormally overexpressed DNMT1, DNMT3B, TET2, and TET3 to near normal levels, while simultaneously restoring the UVA-inhibited DNMT3A and TET1, thus restoring methyltransferase expression to physiological homeostasis. Further increasing the concentration of active components would lead to increased cytotoxicity and would not be of experimental significance.

[0045] Comparative Examples 1-4 were respectively missing any one of the active components of magnolia flower extract, olive leaf extract, camellia flower extract, and camellia leaf extract. Antioxidant results showed that although the ROS levels in each comparative example were significantly lower than those in the UVA group, their ROS scavenging ability was significantly weaker than that of the complete formulation examples of the same gradient. Methyltransferase detection further confirmed that the absence of a single component would cause disruption of regulatory pathways.

[0046] Among them, Comparative Example 1, which lacked magnolia flower extract, could not effectively inhibit the abnormally high expression of DNMT1, TET2, and TET3; Comparative Example 2, which lacked olive leaf extract, could not effectively downregulate DNMT1, DNMT3B, and TET3; Comparative Example 3, which lacked camellia flower extract, and Comparative Example 4, which lacked camellia leaf extract, showed a significant decrease in their ability to upregulate DNMT3A and TET1, and could not effectively repair the de novo methylation imbalance.

[0047] Table 3

[0048] 2. Energy metabolism test Test method: p-AMPK is a core sensing kinase for cellular energy homeostasis. During cellular aging, the energy sensing pathway becomes deactivated, and insufficient p-AMPK activation directly disrupts a series of downstream physiological regulations. PGC1α is a key transcription factor for mitochondrial synthesis. In aging cells, mitochondria are damaged and regeneration is hindered, resulting in persistently low PGC1α expression and a significant decrease in cellular metabolic supply capacity. Together, these two constitute the cellular metabolic regulatory axis, and metabolic imbalance accelerates skin aging.

[0049] HFF cells in logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 6 cm diameter cell culture dishes and cultured in DMEM high-glucose medium (Gibco, #11995065). After reaching approximately 70% confluence, cells were irradiated with UVA. After irradiation to a certain dose, different concentrations of samples from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were added for further culture. The culture medium was replaced with fresh medium, and the cells were cultured for another 24 h. The supernatant was discarded, cells were collected, lysed, and centrifuged. The protein concentration of the supernatant was determined using the BCA method. An equal volume of total protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred to a PVDF membrane. After blocking, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies of Phospho-AMPKα (Thr172) (Cell Signaling Technology), PGC-1α (Proteintech), and GAPDH (Beyotime). Subsequently, the cells were incubated with HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG and HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (secondary antibody, Beyotime). Finally, ECL chemiluminescence imaging was used, with GAPDH as an internal control, to perform semi-quantitative analysis of the expression levels of p-AMPKα and PGC-1α proteins.

[0050] Table 4

[0051] Table 4 shows that the methyltransferases in the UVA model control group were significantly disordered, with only a slight upregulation of p-AMPK and almost no change in PGC1α, indicating that the cell's own metabolic repair mechanism was blocked. Examples 1-3 were able to bidirectionally correct methyltransferase expression and restore DNA methylation homeostasis; with the increase of the active components in the formulation, the expression of p-AMPK and PGC1α showed a gradient upregulation, with Example 3 showing the best effect on methyltransferase repair and the most significant increase in the expression of the corresponding two proteins.

[0052] Because each comparative example lacked any plant extract, it could not effectively correct the abnormal expression of methyltransferases, resulting in significant defects in methylation homeostasis repair. Consequently, p-AMPK and PGC1α only showed a slight increase, far less than in the example group. This data confirms that this composition regulates methyltransferase levels, restores methylation homeostasis, and synergistically upregulates p-AMPK and PGC1α, thereby improving metabolic defects in senescent cells and exerting an anti-aging effect at the epigenetic level.

[0053] The above results demonstrate a significant synergistic effect among the four extracts: magnolia flower extract, olive leaf extract, camellia flower extract, and camellia leaf extract. The four components, when combined, form a targeted regulatory closed loop. Only when all four extracts coexist can they simultaneously improve oxidative stress imbalance, systematically repair the disordered expression of six methyltransferases induced by UVA, rebuild skin cell DNA methylation homeostasis, regulate cellular energy metabolism, and achieve epigenetic anti-aging. The absence of any one of the extracts leads to a decrease in antioxidant effect, a significant defect in methylation homeostasis repair function, and a significant decrease in energy metabolism levels.

[0054] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
