Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for determining the homeostasis of the skin in humans or animals in vitro, test kits and biochips for determining the homeostasis of the skin and the use of proteins, mRNA molecules or fragments of proteins or mRNA molecules as markers for skin homeostasis; Furthermore, a test procedure for the detection of the effectiveness of cosmetic or pharmaceutical agents for maintaining or promoting the homeostasis of the skin or for the treatment of pathological conditions of the skin, as well as a screening procedure for the identification of cosmetic or pharmaceutical agents for maintaining or promoting the homeostasis of the skin or for the treatment of pathological conditions of the skin and a method for producing a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation for maintaining or promoting the homeostasis of the skin or for treating pathological conditions of the skin.
- a zygote is created, which is the origin of every cell of a eukaryote.
- the spatially and temporally ordered differentiation of the daughter cells of a zygote is decisive for the ontogenesis of a multicellular organism. It leads to a wide variety of cell types that differ in their morphology and their function. If you compare a nerve cell with a cell of the epidermis in humans, for example, the cells are very different, although both have the same origin and the same genome.
- the differentiation of cells goes hand in hand with changes in gene expression patterns. In a differentiated state, cells express their genes.
- the expression of the genes in differentiated cells of the skin is not static but very dynamic.
- Extracellular stimuli act on the transcription of living cells via partially complex signal transduction cascades.
- the regulation of transcription in response to extracellular signals is referred to as stimulus-transcription coupling. Influencing this sensitive regulatory mechanism can lead to disruption of the homeostasis of the skin and possibly to the emergence and manifestation of pathogenic conditions in the skin.
- the human genome comprises approximately 140,000 genes.
- each cell uses only a small, specific part for the synthesis of proteins, which is reflected in the gene expression pattern. Which genes play a role, especially in the skin, has so far been largely unclear.
- the skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is a very complex organ, which consists of a variety of different cell types and forms the body's interface with the environment. This fact makes it clear that the cells of the skin are particularly exposed to exogenous signals of the environment, physical and chemical in nature. To understand skin responses to exogenous stimuli, analyzing skin gene expression is critical.
- a crucial characteristic of the skin is that with increasing age, under the influence of skin-damaging stimuli or in the case of pathological conditions of the Skin cells lose their ability to maintain the organ's homeostasis. So far it is largely unclear which molecular mechanisms underlie this development.
- the identification of new skin-specific markers makes it possible to understand the complex state of homeostasis, the emergence and manifestation of skin-pathogenic conditions. Only with this knowledge can new concepts for products for skin treatment be developed.
- the skin consists of several different cell types (fibroblasts, keratinocytes in different differentiation states, melanocytes, Merkel cells, Langerhans cells, hair follicle cells, sweat gland cells etc.), so that the complexity of genes expressed in the skin is very great. It has never been possible to describe this immense complexity. It has also not been possible to identify genes from this complexity that are exclusively or particularly strongly expressed in the skin.
- mRNA molecules occur in concentrations between a few and several hundred copies.
- the weakly expressed genes have so far not been available or have been very difficult to access.
- these molecules can definitely play a decisive role in the homeostasis of the skin or be involved in the development or manifestation of pathogenic processes in the skin.
- transcriptome The entirety of all mRNA molecules that are synthesized by a cell or a tissue at a specific point in time is referred to as a "transcriptome". To date, it has not been possible to describe the complete transcriptome, i.e. the entirety of all transcribed genes, in human skin. The analysis of gene expression is possible with the quantification of specific mRNA molecules (eg Northern blot, RNase protection experiments). However, only a relatively limited number of genes can be measured using these techniques.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to identify as large a part of the genes as possible expressed in human or animal skin; furthermore to identify the genes which are important for the homeostasis of the skin.
- methods for determining the homeostasis of the skin are to be provided by means of the identified genes.
- This first object is achieved according to the invention by a method (1) for identifying the genes expressed in skin in humans or animals in vitro, which is characterized in that a) a mixture of expressed in human or animal skin, d. H. transcribed genetically coded factors, i.e. of mRNA molecules or fragments of mRNA molecules from human or animal skin, and b) subjecting the mixture obtained in a) to a serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), and thereby expressing those expressed in human or animal skin Genes identified and their expression quantified.
- SAGE serial analysis of gene expression
- the second object is achieved according to the invention by a method (2) for identifying the genes which are important for the homeostasis of the skin in humans or animals in vitro, which is characterized in that a) a mixture of, that is to say transcribed, is expressed in human or animal skin genetically coded factors, i.e. mRNA molecules or Extracts fragments of mRNA molecules from human or animal skin, b) subjects the mixture obtained in a) to a serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), and thereby identifies the genes expressed in human or animal skin and quantifies their expression, and c) the analysis results from b) compared with expression patterns of other tissues and thus identifying the genes which are expressed differently (differentially) in skin and other tissues.
- SAGE serial analysis of gene expression
- SAGE TM serial analysis of gene expression
- SAGE TM analysis Human skin from healthy female donors was used for SAGE TM analysis.
- the SAGE TM analysis was carried out as in EP-A-0 761 822 and at Velculescu, V.E. et al., 1995 Science 270, 484-487, and identified the genes active in skin.
- genes are suitable for determining the homeostasis of the skin or for detecting pathological processes or conditions.

- the quotient in column 5 indicates the strength of the differential expression, i. i.e. by which factor the respective gene is expressed more strongly in skin than in other tissues.
- the databases were downloaded from the NCBI, formatted for a local version of the BLAST program (also NCBI) and compared with the tags detected in the SAGE analysis for identical hits.
- the respective genes or gene products are disclosed in the database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under their UniGene Accession Number. This database is accessible on the Internet at the following address: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. The genes or gene products are also available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/UniGene/Hs.Home.html or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/ guide directly accessible.

- Table 3 lists all genes that are at least 10-fold and less than
- Table 4 lists all genes that are at least 20-fold and less than
- Table 5 lists all genes that are at least 100-fold differentially expressed.
- the third object underlying the present invention is achieved according to the invention by a method (3) for determining the homeostasis of the skin in humans or animals, especially in women, in vitro, which is characterized in that a) a mixture of proteins, mRNA Molecules or fragments of proteins or mRNA molecules from human or animal skin is obtained, b) the mixture obtained is examined for the presence and, if appropriate, the amount of at least one of the proteins, mRNA molecules or fragments of proteins or mRNA molecules, which are determined by means of serials Analysis of gene expression (SAGE) can be identified as being expressed differently (differentially) in skin and other tissues, c) comparing the test results from b) with the expression patterns identified by means of serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) and d) assigns the mixture examined in b) to healthy skin or skin in homeostasis if it predominantly contains proteins, mRNA molecules or fragments of proteins or mRNA molecules that are expressed more strongly in skin than in other tissues, or that in b )

- condition of the skin can also be described in that several markers (expression products of the genes which are important for the homeostasis of the skin) quantified, which must then be active in a certain ratio to each other to represent skin in homeostasis. All deviations from this indicate that the examined skin is not in homeostasis.

- the mixture is preferably obtained from a skin sample, in particular from a whole skin sample or from an epidermis sample.
- a skin sample opens up more extensive comparison options with the SAGE libraries also obtained from whole skin.
- the epidermis sample is easier to obtain, for example by applying an adhesive tape to the skin and tearing it off, as described in WO 00/10579, to which reference is hereby made in full.
- the mixture is obtained in step a) by means of microdialysis.
- microdialysis The technique of microdialysis is described, for example, in “Microdialysis: A method for measurement of local tissue metabolism", Nielsen PS, Winge K, Petersen LM; Ugeskr Laeger 1999 Mar 22 161: 12 1735-8; and in “Cutaneous microdialysis for human in vivo dermal absorption studies ", Anderson, C. et al. ; Drugs Pharm. Sci., 1998, 91, 231-244; and also described on the Internet at http://www.microdialysis.se/techniqu.htm, to which reference is hereby made in full.
- microdialysis When using microdialysis, a probe is typically inserted into the skin and the probe is slowly rinsed with a suitable carrier solution. After the acute reactions have subsided after the puncture, the microdialysis provides proteins, mRNA molecules or fragments of proteins or mRNA molecules which occur in the extracellular space and which can then be isolated and analyzed in vitro, for example by fractionation of the carrier liquid. Microdialysis is less invasive than taking a full skin sample; however, it is disadvantageously limited to the extraction of compounds occurring in the extracellular space.

- a BioChip is a miniaturized functional element with molecules immobilized on a surface, in particular biomolecules, which can serve as specific interaction partners.
- BioChips have a 2D base area for coating with biologically or biochemically functional materials.
- the base surfaces can, for example, also be formed by walls of one or more capillaries or by channels.
- DNA chip technology which is particularly preferred in the context of the present invention is based on the ability of nucleic acids to enter into complementary base pairings. This technical principle, known as hybridization, has been used for years in Southern blot and Northern blot analysis. Compared to these conventional methods, in which only a few genes are analyzed, DNA chip technology allows a few hundred to several tens of thousands of genes to be examined in parallel.
- a DNA chip essentially consists of a carrier material (eg glass or plastic) on which single-stranded, gene-specific probes are immobilized in a high density at a defined location (spot).
- a carrier material eg glass or plastic
- probe immobilization is considered problematic.

- existing DNA molecules can also be bound to surfaces of support material.
- the DNA probes can be applied to a carrier using a so-called “pin spotter”.

- the probes are immobilized e.g. as described in EP-A-0 965 647:
- the generation of DNA probes takes place here by means of PCR using a sequence-specific primer pair, a primer being modified at the 5 'end and carrying a linker with a free amino group. This ensures that a defined strand of the PCR products can be bound to a glass surface that has been treated with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and then with 1,4-phenyldiisothiocyanate.

- mRNA is isolated from two cell populations to be compared.
- the isolated mRNAs are analyzed using reverse transcription converted into cDNA using, for example, fluorescence-labeled nucleotides.
- the samples to be compared are marked with, for example, red or green fluorescent nucleotides.
