Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition that strengthens the dermis of the skin by strengthening the skin basement membrane and improves skin elasticity or skin wrinkles.
Background Art
[0002] Collagen is a major matrix protein produced by skin fibroblasts and exists in the extracellular matrix. Collagen is known to play important functions related to the mechanical firmness of the skin, the resistance and tissue binding force of connective tissues, the support of cell adhesion, and the induction of cell division and differentiation (during the growth of an organism or the healing of a wound). Such collagen is a fibrous protein found abundantly in mammals and constitutes bones, cartilage, basement membranes, etc. in the body.
[0003] Among them, the skin basement membrane plays an important role in the support and adhesion of epidermal cells, the movement of nutrients, and the regulation of epidermal differentiation. When the skin basement membrane is damaged by aging, flattening, multiplexing, heat insulation, etc. of the basement membrane occur, wrinkles are generated, and there is a high possibility that external risk factors will penetrate to the dermis, and the skin may be easily damaged. Therefore, in order to restore or maintain the damaged skin basement membrane in a healthy state, first, its components need to be properly maintained.
[0004] On the other hand, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is one of the growth factors that regulate the proliferation, migration, differentiation, and survival of various cells, and is composed of a group of 23 proteins. FGF is produced in keratinocytes, fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, and mast cells, and exerts the above-mentioned functions by activating four types of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGF receptors) that are expressed in various cells. In particular, FGF2, FGF7, and FGF10 are known to play important roles in skin regeneration (Non-Patent Literature 1). FGF7 and FGF10 promote the proliferation of keratinocytes and are involved in the re-epithelialization process, and are also involved in the process of neutralizing reactive oxygen species and maintaining keratinocytes.
[0005] Conventional technologies aim to improve skin elasticity or wrinkles through collagen, and such collagen synthesis-promoting methods are primarily characterized by strengthening the epidermal layer. However, a problem has been found that strengthening only the epidermal layer does not always lead to improved skin elasticity or wrinkle reduction when applied to actual skin. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of anti-aging skin compositions that strengthen the dermis layer by strengthening the actual skin basement membrane, thereby improving skin elasticity or wrinkles.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it was confirmed that when human fibroblasts were treated with cordycepin, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, the mRNA expression of FGF 10 was promoted. It was also confirmed that when human fibroblasts were treated with androphagolide, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2, the mRNA expression of FGF 10 was promoted. It was also confirmed that when human fibroblasts were treated with quercetin, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3, the mRNA expression of FGF 10 was promoted. Furthermore, it was confirmed that when human fibroblasts were treated with cordycepin along with androphagolide or quercetin, the mRNA expression level of FGF 10 increased even further than that of cordycepin alone, androphagolide alone, and quercetin alone.
[0031] FGF-10 is expressed in fibroblasts that make up the dermis and is known to play a role in strengthening and maintaining the normal function of the skin basement membrane. Furthermore, FGF-10 plays a role in maintaining skin integrity through signal transduction between the epidermis and dermis, and interacts with heparin sulfate, a major proteoglycan that makes up the basement membrane, to participate in the growth, division, adhesion, and migration of epidermal cells. Generally, FGF-10 expression is known to maintain the normal function of the basement membrane itself and to promote epidermal growth by transmitting signals through the basement membrane.
[0032] Therefore, the composition of the present invention can cause FGF 10 to be expressed and promote the proliferation of fibroblasts in the skin basement membrane, thereby strengthening the skin basement membrane and exhibiting effects on improving skin elasticity or wrinkles.
[0033] Therefore, the composition of the present invention may simultaneously contain the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the composition has an even better skin elasticity or wrinkle improvement effect than a composition containing the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof alone.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0066] [Figure 1]Figure 1 compares the results of treating the basement membrane with and without cordycepin and androphagolide after UV irradiation. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0067] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following examples. However, the following examples are illustrative of the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited to the following examples. [Examples]
[0068] Experimental Example 1: Analysis of FGF10 mRNA expression Human dermal fibroblasts, neonatal, were purchased from Lonza and cultured in a carbon dioxide incubator at 37°C under 5% carbon dioxide conditions. The culture medium used was DMEM (Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium-Thermo Fisher Scientific) mixed with 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) and 1% Antibiotics (Penicillin streptomycin). Next, 20,000 cells were planted in a 6-well plate and, after 24 hours, the DMEM culture medium was treated with samples containing the components shown in Tables 1 and 2, and cultured again for a further 48 hours. A control group used DMEM medium without any other added components. Next, intracellular RNA was purified to synthesize cDNA, and then FGF10 mRNA expression levels were analyzed using qPCR. Table 1 shows the expression levels compared to the control group when treated with cordycepin and androglavolide individually and together. Table 2 shows the expression levels of cordycepin and quercetin when treated individually and together, compared to the control group. Adenosine is a substance well known to have an effect on improving skin wrinkles in conventional techniques, but it was confirmed that it does not have the effect of increasing FGF10 expression.
[0069] [Table 1]
[0070] [Table 2]
[0071] Experimental Example 2: Analysis of basement membrane changes using pig skin. Live pig skin (not frozen after slaughter and used immediately for experiments) was purchased from Apuas and cultured in a carbon dioxide incubator at 37°C under 5% carbon dioxide conditions using a culture medium prepared by mixing 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), 1% Antibiotics (Penicillin streptomycin), and 0.02% Tetracyclin in DMEM (Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium-Thermo Fisher Scientific). After stabilizing the pig skin in a 6-well hanging insert (MILLIPORE) for 24 hours, UVB was applied at 1 J / cm² using a UV irradiation device. 2 The basement membrane was irradiated at an intensity to induce destruction. UV irradiation was performed a total of three times, with 5 minutes of irradiation followed by a 2-hour rest period. Immediately after UVB irradiation, a sample containing 0.1% cordycepin and 0.1% andrgradolide was applied to the surface of pig skin and treated for 48 hours. Next, samples were taken, fixed with 10% formalin, and then H&E staining was requested from TEGO Science. During the experiment, the DMEM was changed once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The experimental results are shown in Figure 1. When the basement membrane is irradiated with UV, it becomes flattened; however, when treated with cordycepin and andrgradolide, the flattened basement membrane recovers.
[0072] Experimental Example 3. Evaluation of the effect on improving elasticity or wrinkles in human skin. To evaluate the skin-improving effect due to the basement membrane strengthening effect in human skin, the following manufacturing examples were produced (unit: weight %).
[0073] [Table 3]
[0074] Thirty-two women aged 27-43 years used the cosmetic product described in Table 3 on their faces once in the morning and once in the evening, for a total of two times a day, for four weeks. Skin wrinkles and skin elasticity were measured. Measurements were taken once immediately before the first day of use (A) and again after the four weeks of use were completed (B). The measurement method was as follows: For skin wrinkle measurement, residual wrinkles (latent wrinkles) caused by facial expressions were measured once at the test site (around the eyes) using an Antera 3DCS (Miravex, Ireland) system, and the depth (depth, mm) in Wrinkle-small analysis mode was used as evaluation data. The subjects artificially created wrinkles around their eyes by making a frowning face, maintained the wrinkles for one minute, and then measured the residual wrinkles immediately after relaxing their facial expression. The measuring device uses a light-emitting diode (LED light source) to measure the surface image of the skin. Data was extracted from the built-in program's 3D shape image, and the skin condition was quantified and utilized in the image. A decrease in wrinkle depth (mm) value after 4 weeks compared to before product use indicates that residual wrinkles (latent wrinkles) caused by facial expressions have improved. Skin elasticity was measured using a dermal torque meter (Dia-Stron, United Kingdom), and the test area (cheek) was measured three times, with the average value used as evaluation data. The measurement principle uses a torsional method between a 3mm guard ring and a central disk. The Ur / Ue value was used as an evaluation index for the inner elasticity of the skin, and an increase in the measured value indicates that the inner elasticity of the skin has improved.
