Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present utility model belongs to the technical field of functional compositions and specifically relates to a composition for inhibiting the degradation of collagen type IV, as well as food or health foods containing this composition. State of the art
[0002] With increasing age and due to environmental influences, collagen loss is one of the key factors leading to skin aging. Current anti-aging research for the skin focuses primarily on type I collagen in the dermis and pays little attention to collagen in the basal membrane zone.
[0003] The basal membrane zone represents the second physical barrier of human skin and, through the basal membrane between the epidermis and dermis, forms an optimal "epidermis-basal membrane-dermis" circulation, allowing the free exchange of substances and information and thus maintaining the healthy vitality of the skin. Collagen type IV, as one of the main collagen components that constitute the basal membrane, provides structural support and mechanical strength to the basal membrane through self-organization into complex network structures, supports cells and tissues, and is involved in various physiological processes such as filtration, cell adhesion, cell differentiation, and tissue regeneration.
[0004] Currently, US patent 20160175217A1 discloses an anti-aging composition for topical application, specifically a topical composition containing at least one substance from catechins and flavonols of green tea extract as an active ingredient. This substance can reduce the biosynthesis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9), increase the biosynthesis of collagen type IV, collagen type VII, and laminin, inhibit the degradation of the dermal-epidermal junction, and promote its formation, thereby protecting the dermal-epidermal junction. The composition also discloses a composition containing catechins and theanine. However, this is a topical preparation and not an ingestible composition.
[0005] Currently, there are no reports on the combination of green coffee extract and olive fruit extract for inhibiting the degradation of collagen type IV components. Content of the present utility model

[0025] In Table 1, comparison examples 4~5 are presented as two components, where comparison example 4 does not contain olive fruit extract and comparison example 5 does not contain green coffee extract.
[0026] In comparison example 1, the content of green coffee extract and olive fruit extract is lower; in comparison example 2, the content of green coffee extract and olive fruit extract is higher. Experimental setup:
[0027] The determination of the collagen type IV content in HaCaT cells was carried out on all compositions obtained from the preceding exemplary embodiments and comparative examples, as described below: Cell line: Immortalized keratinocytes HaCaT (ZQ0044\Zhongqiao Xinzhou); Instruments and consumables: incubator, enzyme labeling device, 96-well plates, 24-well plates, various types of pipettes and pipette tips, and other cell culture consumables; Reagents: DMEM basic culture medium, DMEM complete culture medium (DMEM+15% serum+1% dual antibiotic), CCK-8 reagent (C0039\Beyotime), 0.25% trypsin, human collagen type IV (Col IV) enzyme immunoassay kit (CSB-E17116h\Wuhan Huamei); Experimental procedure steps:
[0028] 1. HaCaT cells are cultured in DMEM culture medium with 15% fetal calf serum at 37°C and 5% CO2 in a cell culture incubator; HaCaT cells in the logarithmic growth phase are extracted and treated with 1×10 5 Cells / wells seeded in 24-well plates, 500 µL per well, at 5% CO₂ 2 and cultivated at 37°C in an incubator for 24 hours.
[0029] 2. The culture medium is discarded, washed once with PBS; 200 µL of PBS is added to each well.
[0030] 3. The entire experiment is divided into three groups: an empty control group, a model group, and treatment groups with different sample mixtures (i.e., groups treated with the compositions of the respective exemplary implementations and comparison examples, hereinafter referred to accordingly). a) Empty control group: DMEM medium is co-incubated with HaCaT cells without receiving UVA irradiation (i.e., the empty control group contains in this well: 500 µL cell culture medium + no UVA irradiation); b) Model group: Placement in the UV crosslinker (25 J / cm²)2 UVA) for irradiation treatment of the cells, treatment for 87.5 minutes (i.e. the model group contains in this well: 500 µL cell culture medium + receives UVA irradiation); c) Sample treatment group: Placement in UV crosslinker (25 J / cm²) 2UVA) for irradiation treatment of the cells, after 87.5 minutes of treatment the culture medium is aspirated, a total concentration of 250 µg / mL of various mixing-ratio composition solutions is added (the various mixing-ratio composition solutions are combined according to the weight part ratios of green coffee extract and olive fruit extract in Table 1 for the preparation of the composition solution, the solvent for the preparation of the composition solution being pure water) and co-incubated with HaCaT cells for 24 h (i.e. the sample treatment group contains in each well: 500 µL of composition solution with a total concentration of 250 µg / mL + receives UVA irradiation).
[0031] 4. The perforated plate is repeatedly frozen and thawed three times at -80°C, and all liquids in the perforated plate are collected; at 4°C, centrifugation is performed for 20 minutes at 5000 rpm, and the supernatant is collected.
[0032] The concentration of collagen type IV (Col IV) in the collected solution is determined according to the human collagen type IV (Col IV) enzyme immunoassay kit.
[0033] Based on the results of the collagen type IV content, the degradation inhibition rate of collagen type IV is calculated in comparison to the model group. the calculation method is as follows: Collagen type IV degradation inhibition rate = Collagen type IV content of the sample group − Collagen type IV content of the model group / Collagen type IV content of the model group 100% Test results:
[0034] The corresponding formulations of the compositions obtained in all the preceding exemplary embodiments and comparative examples, as well as the data on the degradation inhibition rate of collagen type IV, are shown in Table 2.

[0035] Table 2 shows that the composition prepared using green coffee extract and olive fruit extract in specific ratios can effectively inhibit the degradation of collagen type IV. According to embodiments 1-10, the degradation inhibition rate of collagen type IV is 29.74% to 77.50% when the composition has the specific ratio of 100-300 parts green coffee extract to 15-167 parts olive fruit extract. The highest degradation inhibition rate of collagen type IV, 77.50%, is achieved with 200 parts by weight of green coffee extract and 34 parts by weight of olive fruit extract, representing a significant increase compared to the other embodiments.
[0036] In comparative example 1, the weight fraction of the green coffee extract is not in the range of 100-300 parts (insufficient amount of green coffee extract), which reduces the rate of degradation inhibition of collagen type IV and prevents the synergistic enhancing effect of the two substances.
[0037] In comparative example 2, the weight fraction of the green coffee extract is not in the range of 100-300 parts (overdosed amount of green coffee extract), which reduces the rate of degradation inhibition of collagen type IV and prevents the synergistic enhancing effect of the two substances.
[0038] In comparative example 3, where the weight parts of the olive fruit extract are not in the range of 15-167 parts (olive fruit extract in insufficient quantity) and the weight parts of the green coffee extract are in the range of 100-300 parts, the rate of degradation inhibition of collagen type IV decreases, and the synergistic enhancing effect of the two substances becomes ineffective.
[0039] Comparative example 4 serves as a single-substance control, meaning that with an exclusive content of green coffee extract, the rate of degradation inhibition of collagen type IV is significantly higher than in the model group, but significantly lower than in embodiments 1 to 10.
[0040] Comparative example 5 serves as a single-substance control, meaning that with an exclusive content of olive fruit extract, there is virtually no inhibitory effect on the degradation of collagen type IV.
[0041] The comparison chart of collagen type IV content is in Fig. Figure 1 shows the following, where a~f are used to mark significance between the individual groups: a. The blank control group shows significant differences from all other groups; b. Implementation 10 shows significant differences from all other groups; c. Implementation 8 shows no significant differences from Implementation 7 / 9, but each shows significant differences from the remaining groups; d. Implementation 5 shows no significant differences from Implementation 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 6, but significant differences from all other groups; e. Comparison example 4 shows no significant differences from Comparison example 1 / 2 / 5, but significant differences from all other groups; f. The model group shows no significant differences from Comparison examples 1 / 2 / 3 / 5, but significant differences from all other groups.
[0042] The diagram of the collagen type IV degradation inhibition rate of the comparison model group is in Fig. 2 shown.
[0043] The embodiments 1-10 exhibit a degradation inhibition rate of 29.74%-77.50%, which is significantly higher than that of the comparison examples 1~5 with a degradation inhibition rate of -0.34%~15.01%, proving that the composition has a synergistic effect within the specific ratio range.
[0044] The embodiments 7-10 exhibit a degradation inhibition rate of 60.89%-77.50%, which is significantly higher than that of embodiments 1-6 with a degradation inhibition rate of 29.74%-38.45%.
[0045] In embodiment 10, the degradation inhibition rate was 77.50%, significantly higher than in embodiments 1-9 and comparative examples 1-5, which is why embodiment 10 represents the optimal synergistic ratio of the composition.
[0046] When comparing embodiment 10 (degradation inhibition rate 77.50%) with the sum of the degradation inhibition rates of comparison examples 4~5 (i.e. 15.01%+2.77%=17.78%), it is evident that the degradation inhibition rate of embodiment 10 is far higher than the sum of the degradation inhibition rates of comparison examples 4~5, which proves the synergistic effect of the composition as a non-additive effect.
