Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack specific markers for photoaged cells, making it difficult to target drug therapy effectively and induce immunity against photoaging.

Innovation Solution

Identification of 10 genes (GPR17, CD34, GABRR1, OR2AG2, CMKLR1, CDH19, CD93, AVPR2, CCR7, and OXGR1) as photoaged cell surface markers, and development of antigen and antibody compositions to target and induce immunity against photoaged cells.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If SA-β-Gal and p16 are used as cell aging markers, then cell aging detection is possible, but they are not specific to photoaged cells and cannot be used for targeted drug therapy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell aging detection accuracyVSAvoidphotoaged cell targeting capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the cell aging detection field into two distinct categories: natural aging markers (SA-β-Gal, p16) and photoaging-specific markers (GPR17, CD34, GABRR1, OR2AG2, CMKLR1, CDH19, CD93, AVPR2, CCR7, OXGR1). This segmentation allows each marker set to serve its specific purpose without cross-contamination of functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extracts photoaging-specific surface markers from photoaged cells through comparative gene expression analysis, separating them from general aging markers. This extraction enables the development of targeted therapies specifically for photoaged cells without affecting naturally aged cells.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If general aging markers are used for therapy, then broad aging coverage is achieved, but specificity to photoaged cells is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaging therapy coverageVSAvoidphotoaged cell identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies local quality by assigning different marker profiles to different aging types: photoaged cells express specific surface markers (GPR17, CD34, etc.) while naturally aged cells express different markers (SA-β-Gal, p16). This local differentiation enables precise targeting of photoaged cells with photoaging-specific therapies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a copy of the photoaged cell surface marker profile through identification and characterization of specific genes (GPR17, CD34, GABRR1, OR2AG2, CMKLR1, CDH19, CD93, AVPR2, CCR7, OXGR1). This copied marker profile serves as a template for developing specific diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of manufacture

If no specific photoaged cell markers are available, then research simplicity is maintained, but drug therapy targeting and immune response induction become impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresearch simplicityVSAvoidtargeted therapy capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention performs preliminary action by proactively identifying and characterizing photoaged cell surface markers (GPR17, CD34, GABRR1, OR2AG2, CMKLR1, CDH19, CD93, AVPR2, CCR7, OXGR1) before therapeutic development. This preliminary marker identification enables subsequent targeted drug therapy and immune response induction without requiring additional complex research steps.
