Description

Novel composition comprising exosomes derived from schizonepeta as active ingredient
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a Chinese medicinal composition containing schizonepeta herbNEPETA CARTARIA) as active ingredient, and more particularly to a composition for improving skin elasticity, reducing skin wrinkles, regenerating skin, anti-inflammatory, wound healing or accelerating wound healing, which comprises exosomes derived from schizonepeta as active ingredient.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for improving skin elasticity, reducing skin wrinkles or regenerating skin comprising the composition, and to a pharmaceutical composition for anti-inflammatory, wound healing or accelerating wound healing comprising the composition.
Background
Skin aging is known to result in reduced skin elasticity and increased skin wrinkles, and it is known that reduced skin elasticity and formation of skin wrinkles occur due to reduced synthesis of collagen and stimulated expression of collagenase matrix metalloproteinases (matrix metalloproteinase, MMPs).
In addition, it is known that in skin cells, the enzyme COX-2 that produces inflammatory cytokines increases due to aging progression or Ultraviolet (UV) rays, resulting in an increase in the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (prostaglandin E2) and an increase in the production of inflammatory inducers. Due to the inflammatory response, MMP biosynthesis is increased, leading to collagen degradation and to reduced skin elasticity and skin wrinkles formation. In particular, when sunlight and ultraviolet rays are directly irradiated on the skin, a large amount of radicals are generated, and these radicals may damage the antioxidant defense system of the skin, thereby increasing wrinkles, relaxing the skin, and accelerating skin aging. Substances known to be effective in reducing skin wrinkles include adenosine and retinoic acid. However, adenosine has little efficacy in clinical practice, and retinoic acid cannot be used in pregnant women and has side effects such as erythema.
Inflammation is the defensive response of the body against physical or chemical injury, bacterial, fungal or viral infection, or pathological conditions caused by a variety of allergens, and the like. The inflammatory response appears to be part of the innate immune response. Various substances and physiological and chemical phenomena are involved in the inflammatory response, and recent studies have shown that various inflammatory cytokines play an important role in the inflammatory response. The major cytokines involved in the inflammatory response include IL-1. Beta., TNF-. Alpha., IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IFN-. Beta.and the like. The increased expression and secretion of these cytokines and their activation are associated with a complex array of physiological responses including secretion of inflammatory mediators, immune cell infiltration, cell migration and tissue destruction, and symptoms such as erythema, edema, fever and pain.
In general, if the infectious agent is removed from the body and damaged tissue is regenerated, the inflammatory response does not become a significant problem and the affected area returns to its normal state. However, acute or chronic inflammatory diseases occur if the infectious agent is not removed from the body or the inflammatory response is excessive or sustained due to internal substances of the body. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, neuropeptide antagonists, COX inhibitors, antihistamines and immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclosporin a are used to reduce or treat the inflammatory response or inflammatory disease caused thereby, but have such problems: they cause adverse effects such as skin atrophy, vasodilation, depigmentation, hypersensitivity, tolerance, neutropenia, etc. In addition, there are such limitations: the above drugs only help to control the symptoms associated with inflammation to a certain level, not to treat it at all.
Recently, it has been reported that the cell secretory group (secretome) contains a variety of bioactive molecules that regulate cell behavior. In particular, the cell secretory group contains "exosomes" (exosomes) having an intercellular signaling function, and thus components and functions thereof have been actively studied.
Cells shed a variety of membrane vesicles into their extracellular environment, and these released vesicles are commonly referred to as extracellular vesicles (extracellular vesicle, EV). EV is also known as a cell membrane-derived vesicle, exonuclear granules (ectosome), shedding vesicles, microparticles, exosomes, etc., and is also used in some cases differently from exosomes.
Exosomes are vesicles of tens to hundreds of nanometers in size, comprising phospholipid bilayer membranes having the same structure as cell membranes. Such exosomes include proteins, nucleic acids (mRNA, miRNA, etc.), etc., referred to as exosome carriers (cargo). Exosome cargo is known to include a wide range of signaling factors, and these signaling factors are specific to cell types and are regulated differently depending on the environment of the secreting cells. Exosomes are known to be intercellular signaling mediators secreted by cells and through which various cellular signals are transmitted to regulate cellular behavior, including activation, growth, migration, differentiation, dedifferentiation, apoptosis and necrosis of target cells. Exosomes contain specific genetic material and bioactive factors, depending on the nature and status of the cells from which the exosomes are derived. Exosomes derived from proliferating stem cells regulate cell behavior such as cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, and summarize the characteristics of stem cells involved in tissue regeneration (Nature Review Immunology 2002 (2) 569-579).
That is, exosomes called "avatars" of cells contain bioactive factors, such as growth factors, similar to cells, and act as carriers for transporting bioactive factors between cells, i.e., for mediating communication between cells. Exosomes are known to be released not only from animal cells such as stem cells, immune cells, fibroblasts and cancer cells, but also from cells of various organisms (e.g. plants, bacteria, fungi and algae). For example, the exosomes may be isolated from a culture medium of plant cells or plant stem cells, as well as a culture medium of cancer cells, immune cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and the like.
However, studies on the isolation, purification and characterization of exosomes derived from plant cells or plant stem cells remain insufficient, and most of these studies are only used for market purposes, in which case the extracellular vesicles mixed in the plant juice filtrate are simply referred to as exosomes. Therefore, more detailed characterization and functional studies of plant cell-derived exosomes are needed.
Catmint (catnip), a scientific name of schizonepeta, is a perennial herb belonging to the genus schizonepeta in the family Labiatae and order cheiliformes. Herba Schizonepetae is the favorite cat and is commonly referred to as catmint. Herba Schizonepetae is a herb that has a peppermint flavor after it is dried and is also known as catmint. Herba Schizonepetae is native to asia and europe, and is distributed in korea, japan, china, zhongya, africa, europe and north america. It is known for its pain relief and antipyretic properties. However, the current technology remains with the use of leaf, stem or whole plants of nepeta cataria by hot water extraction or solvent extractionThe obtained extract can be used as food or cosmetic ingredient level. However, the solvent extract has a problem of toxicity to the human body due to the residual extraction solvent.
The present inventors have found that exosomes derived from nepeta cataria are effective in improving skin elasticity, reducing skin wrinkles, regenerating skin, anti-inflammatory, wound healing or accelerating wound healing, and have developed cosmetic compositions for improving skin elasticity, reducing skin wrinkles or accelerating skin regeneration, and pharmaceutical compositions for anti-inflammatory, wound healing or accelerating wound healing, comprising exosomes derived from nepeta cataria as an active ingredient.
Meanwhile, it should be understood that what is described as background art is only for aiding in understanding the background of the present invention and is not to be considered as prior art for the present invention.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples. However, the following examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit or restrict the scope of the present invention. Those readily inferred from the detailed description and examples of the invention by those skilled in the art are to be construed as falling within the scope of the invention.

It should be understood that throughout this specification, when any portion is referred to as "comprising" any component, it does not exclude other components, but may also comprise other components, unless otherwise indicated.
Examples
Example 1: preparation of herba Schizonepetae juice
Leaves and stems of schizonepeta are first washed under running water to remove pesticides. Next, the leaves and stems were cut into pieces of not more than 5cm, and juice was extracted with a low-speed screw at a stirring speed of 40rpm to obtain juice, which was then filtered through a 400-mesh screen to remove large suspended substances. The filtered juice was centrifuged at 10,000Xg for 10 minutes at 4℃to remove proteins and cell walls. The supernatant obtained by the above operation was filtered through a filter membrane having 0.22 μm pores to obtain a filtrate, which was stored at-80 ℃ until purification.
Example 2: purification of nepeta-derived exosomes
The juice prepared as described in example 1 was subjected to step centrifugation and ultracentrifugation to remove a large amount of impurities and separate the exosomes from the schizonepeta source. The thawed nepeta juice was centrifuged at 2,000Xg for 10 minutes and filtered through a filter membrane having 0.22 μm pores to obtain a filtrate. The filtrate was subjected to a first centrifugation at 10,000Xg and a second centrifugation at 20,000Xg, and then the supernatant was recovered. The supernatant was ultracentrifuged at 100,000Xg for 70 minutes at 4℃to obtain a precipitate. The obtained precipitate was suspended in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) to finally obtain an exosome derived from nepeta cataria. The size and concentration of nepeta-derived exosomes isolated by the above method were analyzed by Nanoparticle Tracer Analysis (NTA) using NS300 (purchased from MALVERN PANALYTICAL) (fig. 1).
Example 3: evaluation of ability of schizonepeta-derived exosomes to be delivered into dermal fibroblasts
To examine whether an exosome of schizonepeta origin would be delivered to human dermal fibroblasts (purchased from ATCC), the following analysis was performed. To perform fluorescent staining of the membranes of schizonepeta-derived exosomes prepared in example 2, exosomes were reacted with PKH67 fluorescent dye (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich). After the reaction, the reaction solution was fractionated with MiniTrap-25 columns (available from Cytiva) to remove free PHK67 that was not stained in the exosome film. Negative controls were prepared by reacting PKH67 fluorescent dye with buffer solution and fractionating the reaction product using MiniTrap-25 columns. The PKH67 stained exosomes were incubated with pre-cultured human dermal fibroblasts and then observed using fluorescence microscopy for the delivery of exosomes into the cells over time. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst fluorochrome (available from Thermo Fisher) and cytoplasm was stained with CellMask orange fluorochrome (available from Thermo Fisher). As a result of detecting whether exosomes would be delivered into cells, it was determined that fluorescent-stained exosomes were delivered into cells and green fluorescence accumulated in cells over time (fig. 2).
Example 4: evaluation of collagen production-stimulating Activity
Human dermal fibroblasts (purchased from ATCC) dispersed in DMEM medium containing fetal bovine serum are dispensed into multi-well plates and then cultured for 24 hours. Human dermal fibroblasts were further cultured in serum-free medium for 48 hours. Thereafter, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes prepared in example 2 were diluted in serum-free medium, and then human dermal fibroblasts were treated with each dilution and cultured. To evaluate collagen production using human dermal fibroblasts, the experimental groups were classified as follows:
(1) Negative control group (control): an experimental group treated with serum-free medium alone;
(2) The group treated with low concentration of schizonepeta-derived exosomes (denoted "low" in fig. 3): experimental groups (treatment concentration: 1.0X10 10 particles/mL) treated with an exosome of schizonepeta origin (prepared in example 2) diluted in serum-free medium; and
(3) The group treated with high concentrations of schizonepeta-derived exosomes (denoted "high" in fig. 3): an experimental group (treatment concentration: 4.0X10 10 particles/mL) was treated with an exosome of schizonepeta origin (prepared in example 2) diluted in serum-free medium.
Human dermal fibroblasts were treated and cultured for 24 hours according to each of the above experimental groups. The medium is collected and centrifuged, and the centrifuged medium is then prepared. The amount of collagen synthesized by human dermal fibroblasts and accumulated in the medium was measured using an EIA kit (purchased from Takara) for type I procollagen C-peptide (PIP). The relative amounts of collagen were determined by normalizing the measured amounts of collagen by dividing the measured amounts of collagen by the total number of cells measured using the MTT assay kit (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich).
As a result, it was determined that the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention significantly improved collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent manner compared to the negative control (fig. 3).
From the above experimental results, it can be seen that the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention have excellent effects of enhancing collagen synthesis, i.e., improvement of skin elasticity, reduction of wrinkles and/or skin regeneration.
As can be seen from the above results, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention have useful functional activity as a functional cosmetic for skin elasticity improvement, wrinkle reduction and/or skin regeneration, i.e., activity to enhance collagen synthesis. Thus, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention can be used as active ingredients in cosmetic compositions for skin elasticity improvement, wrinkle reduction and/or skin regeneration.
Example 5: evaluation of skin regeneration Using dermal fibroblasts
To evaluate whether schizonepeta-derived exosomes prepared as described in example 2 promote wound healing of human dermal fibroblasts (purchased from ATCC), a scratch-wound assay was performed. Human dermal fibroblasts dispersed in DMEM containing fetal bovine serum were distributed at a density of 5,000 cells/well into a culture plate (ImageLock plates; purchased from EssenBio) for wound induction and cultured at 37℃under 5% CO 2 for 24 hours. Scratches were made using WoundMaker (available from EssenBio) after the cells reached a confluency of 90% or higher. To evaluate the skin regeneration effect using human dermal fibroblasts, the experimental groups were classified as follows:
(1) Negative control group (n.c.): an experimental group treated with serum-free medium alone;
(2) Positive control group (p.c.): an experimental group treated with a medium comprising 10% fetal bovine serum;
(3) The group treated with low concentration of schizonepeta-derived exosomes (denoted "low" in fig. 4): experimental groups (treatment concentration: 2.0X10 9 particles/mL) treated with an exosome of schizonepeta origin (prepared in example 2) diluted in serum-free medium; and
(4) The group treated with high concentrations of schizonepeta-derived exosomes (denoted "high" in fig. 4): an experimental group (treatment concentration: 1.2X10 10 particles/mL) was treated with an exosome of schizonepeta origin (prepared in example 2) diluted in serum-free medium.
Thereafter, each experimental group was scratched-wound, and human dermal fibroblasts were cultured at 37 ℃ under 5% CO 2 for 12 hours. Wound healing efficacy was measured for each experimental group using Incucyte (purchased from Sartorius).
As a result of measuring the wound healing efficacy, it was determined that the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention improved migration of human dermal fibroblasts compared to the negative control (fig. 4).
As can be seen from the above experimental results, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention have an excellent effect of promoting human dermal fibroblast migration, i.e., an excellent wound healing effect or skin regeneration effect.
Thus, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention can be used as active ingredients of cosmetic compositions for improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles and/or regenerating skin, as well as active ingredients of pharmaceutical compositions for wound healing or accelerating wound healing.
Example 6: evaluation of ability of schizonepeta-derived exosomes to deliver into macrophages
To examine whether an exosome derived from schizonepeta was delivered to mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7; purchased from ATCC), the following analysis was performed. To perform fluorescent staining of the membranes of schizonepeta-derived exosomes prepared in example 2, exosomes were reacted with PKH67 fluorescent dye (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich). After the reaction, the reaction solution was fractionated with MiniTrap-25 columns (available from Cytiva) to remove free PHK67 that was not stained in the exosome film. Negative controls were prepared by reacting PKH67 fluorescent dye with buffer solution and fractionating the reaction product using MiniTrap-25 columns. The PKH 67-stained exosomes were incubated with pre-cultured mouse macrophages and then observed using a fluorescence microscope for the delivery of exosomes into cells over time. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst fluorochrome (available from Thermo Fisher) and cytoplasm was stained with CellMask orange fluorochrome (available from Thermo Fisher). As a result of detecting whether exosomes would be delivered into cells, it was determined that fluorescent-stained exosomes were delivered into cells and green fluorescence accumulated in cells over time (fig. 5).
Example 7: evaluation of anti-inflammatory Effect on schizonepeta-derived exosomes
To examine whether the schizonepeta-derived exosomes prepared as described in example 2 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects, the effect of schizonepeta-derived exosomes on IL-6 production in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells was evaluated. RAW 264.7 cells suspended in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS were distributed into each well of a multi-well plate to achieve a confluency rate of 80% to 90%. The next day, RAW 264.7 cells were treated with schizonepeta-derived exosomes diluted in fresh medium containing LPS [ DMEM containing 1% FBS and 200nM LPS (lipopolysaccharide) ] and then RAW 264.7 cells were cultured for 24 hours. The experimental groups for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect were classified as follows.
(1) Negative control group (n.c.): an experimental group in which RAW264.7 cells were treated with a medium containing LPS alone;
(2) Positive control group (p.c.): an experimental group in which RAW 264.7 cells were treated with a medium containing LPS mixed with dexamethasone (final concentration: 200. Mu.M);
(3) The group treated with low concentration of schizonepeta-derived exosomes (denoted "low" in fig. 6): an experimental group in which RAW 264.7 cells were treated with a schizonepeta-derived exosome (prepared in example 2) diluted in a medium containing LPS (treatment concentration: 6.0X10 9 particles/mL); and
(4) The group treated with high concentrations of schizonepeta-derived exosomes (denoted "high" in fig. 6): an experimental group (treatment concentration: 2.0X10 10 particles/mL) in which RAW 264.7 cells were treated with schizonepeta-derived exosomes diluted in LPS-containing medium (prepared in example 2).
After completion of culture of RAW 264.7 cells in each experimental group, culture supernatants were collected, and the production amount of inflammatory cytokine IL-6 present in the culture supernatants was measured using IL-6ELISA kit. The amount of IL-6 (inflammatory cytokine) produced in the group treated with LPS alone and the amount of IL-6 produced in each experimental group treated with LPS-containing medium mixed with dexamethasone and schizonepeta-derived exosomes (low-concentration and high-concentration exosomes) were measured separately using ELISA kits (purchased from R & D Systems) according to manufacturer's manual (FIG. 6).
As a result, it was confirmed that IL-6 production was inhibited in the following experimental groups compared with that in the negative control group: wherein RAW 264.7 cells were treated with LPS plus schizonepeta-derived exosomes (low and high concentrations of exosomes) prepared in example 2 (fig. 6).
As can be seen from the above experimental results, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention have excellent anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, the schizonepeta-derived exosomes of the present invention are useful as active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions for anti-inflammatory, wound healing and/or accelerating wound healing.
While the invention has been described with reference to certain embodiments, the scope of the invention is not limited to these embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and that such modifications and changes also fall within the scope of the present invention.
