Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for determining the homeostasis of hairy skin in vitro, test kits and biochips for determining markers of hairy skin and the use of proteins, mRNA molecules or fragments of proteins or mRNA molecules as markers of hairy skin; furthermore a test method for the detection of the effectiveness of cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substances for the treatment of hairy skin as well as a screening method for the identification of cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substances for the treatment of hairy skin and a method for the production of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment of hairy skin.
  • Every living cell is able to react to signals from its environment.
  • the reactions of the cells are realized by an orderly regulation of the gene expression, so that the metabolism of cells is not static but very dynamic.
  • the human genome contains between 30,000 and 140,000 genes.
  • each cell uses only a small, specific part for the synthesis of proteins, which is reflected in the gene expression pattern.
  • Exogenous signals are received by cells and lead to changes in the gene expression pattern, partly via complex signal transduction cascades. In this way, every cell responds to signals from its environment by adapting its metabolism.
  • every living cell is subject to the aging phenomenon, a process that is associated with the slow change in gene expression.
  • Human skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is a very complex organ, which consists of a variety of different Cell types exist and form the body's interface with the environment. Most skin cells are found in the epidermis and dermis.
  • Skin appendages such as Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands etc. are formed by a smaller proportion of specialized cells. For example, only less than 5% of the skin cells are involved in the hair follicle structure. This fact makes it clear that the cells of certain skin appendages are difficult to carry out biological analyzes, e.g. Gene expression analyzes can be subjected. In order to understand the reactions of the skin and especially its appendages to exogenous stimuli, the analysis of gene expression is of crucial importance.
  • the human skin has hair down to the lips, the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
  • the inconspicuous vellus hairs do not only differ macroscopically e.g. of the cosmetically relevant hair on the head.
  • the hair follicles but also the hair itself can be differentiated microscopically. Which biochemical and molecular biological mechanisms underlie these differences is largely unknown.
  • a relevant characteristic of hair and its follicles is that with age the cells lose their ability to maintain the organ's homeostasis. For example, the number of hair follicles per unit area decreases over time. The structure of the hair also changes, for example by reducing the hair diameter. With age, certain cells of the hair follicle often no longer produce hair pigments - the hair gray. Which molecular mechanisms underlie this development has so far been largely unclear.
  • Effective cosmetic or pharmaceutical hair products should have a positive effect on the broadest possible range of molecular processes in the hair follicle. So far, however, only a few molecular reaction mechanisms have been described in the hair follicle, which can thus serve as a target for cosmetic hair products.
  • the skin consists of several different cell types (e.g. fibroblasts, keratinocytes in different differentiation states, melanocytes, Merkel cells, Langerhans cells, a large number of different cells of the hair follicle or other skin appendages), so that the complexity of genes expressed in the skin is very great.
  • fibroblasts keratinocytes in different differentiation states
  • melanocytes Merkel cells
  • Langerhans cells a large number of different cells of the hair follicle or other skin appendages
  • mRNA molecules are present in the cell in concentrations between a few and several hundred copies.
  • the weakly expressed genes have not been available to previous analysis techniques or have been very difficult to access, but can certainly play a decisive role in the hair follicle.
  • the transcriptome i.e. the entirety of all transcribed genes of the human hair follicle, has not been described to date.
  • Transcriptome analyzes of the skin using various methods, including SAGE TM analysis, are state of the art. However, isolated keratinocytes (in vitro) or epidermal explants are used, which - as above explained - do not represent models representative of complex skin events.
  • DE-A-101 00 127.4-41 From DE-A-101 00 127.4-41 by the applicant it is known to subject skin cells to a SAGE TM analysis in order to characterize the total transcriptome of the skin.
  • DE-A-101 00 121.5-41 by the applicant discloses the determination of markers of stressed or aged skin on the basis of a comparative SAGE TM analysis between stressed or aged skin and undressed or young skin.
  • information on specific markers of hairy skin cannot be found in these publications.
  • the object of the present invention is to identify as large a part as possible of the genes which are important for the hair on the skin.
  • methods for determining the homeostasis of hairy skin are to be provided using the identified genes.
  • This first object is achieved according to the invention by a method (1) for
  • SAGE serial analysis of gene expression
  • hairless is also to be understood as meaning the hair with the fine and barely visible vellus hair.
  • the method according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to understand the complex process of hair formation and the causal relationships between the changes in the hair. Only with this knowledge can new concepts for cosmetic hair products be developed that have an effect on the broad spectrum of gene expression in the hair follicle.
  • the SAGE TM analysis carried out in the context of the method according to the invention shows for the first time in a very comprehensive manner which genes are expressed in (with the main hair) hairy scalp and which genes are expressed there differently than in skin with vellus hair.
  • SAGE TM serial analysis of gene expression
  • the comparison of the transcriptome of hairy skin with the transcriptome of hairless skin makes it possible to distinguish between genes that are relevant and not relevant for the hair on the skin.
  • SAGE TM analysis Human skin from healthy female donors was used for SAGE TM analysis.
  • the SAGE TM analysis was carried out as described in EP-A-0 761 822 and in Velculescu, VE et al., 1995 Science 270, 484-487.
  • This technique also allows the identification and quantification of the genes expressed in hairy scalp.
  • the comparison of the transcriptome of hairy scalp with the transcriptome of facial skin allows the identification of relevant genes for hairy scalp. These can be genes that are particularly strongly expressed in hairy scalp or also genes that are characterized in that they are only expressed slightly compared to hairless facial skin.
  • the SAGE TM analysis is a technique with special sensitivity and surprisingly shows even interindividual differences in the gene expression profile.
  • the comparison to the transcriptome of hairless skin is therefore particularly effective when the analyzed tissue is from an individual come from a donor.
  • interindividual differences in gene expression are negligible.
  • hairy tissues accumulate from a patient from the area above the ear and the area behind the ear.
  • skin tissue in front of the ear is removed that - at least in female donors - only vellus
  • the analysis of such tissue samples therefore allows the description of the transcriptome of hairy scalp and hairless (or only covered with vellus hair) facial skin with the exclusion of interindividual gene expression differences.
  • the hairy skin For hairy skin, an increased number of tags can be shown for genes that are expressed in the hair follicle or in hair appendages.
  • the hairy skin In addition to an increased level of keratin, which is typical of hair and hair follicles, the hairy skin also has, for example, more FGF7, a transcription factor involved in hair development.
  • Dermcidin and cystatin, both involved in the defense against bacterial and viral attacks in the hair shaft also show a significantly increased expression in the hairy skin.
  • the expression of differentiation-dependent genes of the interfollicular epidermis is in the hairless skin intensified, which is reflected in the results of the investigation.
  • keratin 10 At the top of the differentially expressed genes is keratin 10, a typical marker for the differentiation of stratified epithelia.
  • Keratin 1 the partner of Keratin 10, does not show these differences in expression.
  • the analysis of further differentiation-dependent expressed genes also confirms their increased expression in the hairless skin (Tab. 2).
  • another keratin, keratin 2e is mainly expressed in hairless skin, which is also observed in the analysis carried out.
  • the expression of keratins 5, 14 and 15 expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis and in the hair follicles is almost identical in both samples (Tab. 2).
