Description

本発明は、バラ科に属するニワウメ(Prunus japonica)の抽出物を含有することを特徴とする表皮幹細胞の表皮角化細胞への分化促進剤に関する。 The present invention relates to an agent for promoting the differentiation of epidermal stem cells into epidermal keratinized cells, which comprises an extract of Prunus japonica belonging to the family Rosaceae.

脊椎動物、特に哺乳動物の組織は、傷害もしくは疾患、又は加齢などに伴い細胞・臓器の損傷が起こった場合、再生系が働き、細胞・臓器の損傷を回復しようとする。この作用に、当該組織に備わる幹細胞が大きな役割を果たしている。幹細胞は、あらゆる細胞・臓器に分化する多能性を有しており、この性質により細胞・臓器の損傷部を補うことで回復に導くと考えられている。このような幹細胞を、生体外において培養し、目的の細胞に分化誘導させ、再生したい臓器や組織に類似した3次元的な構築を行うといった、次世代の技術である再生医療や再生美容に期待が集まっている。 In vertebrates, especially mammalian tissues, when cell / organ damage occurs due to injury or disease, or aging, the regenerative system works to recover the cell / organ damage. Stem cells in the tissue play a major role in this action. Stem cells have pluripotency to differentiate into all cells and organs, and it is thought that this property leads to recovery by compensating for damaged parts of cells and organs. Expectations for next-generation technologies such as regenerative medicine and regenerative beauty, such as culturing such stem cells in vitro, inducing differentiation into target cells, and performing three-dimensional construction similar to the organ or tissue to be regenerated. Are gathered.

哺乳動物の幹細胞研究において、近年、骨髄、肝臓、膵臓、脂肪、皮膚など、あらゆる臓器・組織に幹細胞が存在することが明らかにされ、各臓器・組織の再生および恒常性維持を司っていることがわかってきた(非特許文献1~4)。皮膚内における幹細胞は、表皮及び真皮に存在していると考えられており(非特許文献5,6)、それらは多分化能を示し、皮膚の細胞にも分化可能であると考えられる(非特許文献7)。 In recent years, research on stem cells in mammals has revealed that stem cells are present in all organs and tissues such as bone marrow, liver, pancreas, fat, and skin, and are responsible for the regeneration and maintenance of homeostasis of each organ and tissue. It has become clear (Non-Patent Documents 1 to 4). Stem cells in the skin are considered to be present in the epidermis and dermis (Non-Patent Documents 5 and 6), and they are considered to be pluripotent and capable of differentiating into skin cells (non-patent documents 5 and 6). Patent Document 7).

皮膚は、外部からの様々な環境因子(紫外線や乾燥等)に対するバリア機能において、重要な役割を果たしている。特に、表皮角化細胞は、皮膚の中でも最表面の層である表皮の大部分を占めており、それらの環境因子から体を守る重要な細胞である。表皮角化細胞は、表皮の最下層の基底層で分裂し、上層に向かって移動するとともに、分裂能を失って分化していき、有棘層、顆粒層を経て、最上層の角質層に到達して角質細胞に分化する。角質層は表皮角化細胞の最終分化産物であり、やがて皮膚より剥がれ落ちる。この表皮角化細胞の増殖と分化の過程はターンオーバーと呼ばれており、表皮幹細胞は、この表皮のターンオーバーに重要な役割を果たしていると考えられている(非特許文献8)。よって、ターンオーバーの正常化と、より強固な表皮バリア機能を発揮するためには、表皮幹細胞を最外層の角質層へと分化を導くことが重要である。 The skin plays an important role in the barrier function against various environmental factors (ultraviolet rays, dryness, etc.) from the outside. In particular, epidermal keratinocytes occupy most of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin, and are important cells that protect the body from these environmental factors. Epidermal keratinocytes divide in the basal layer, which is the lowest layer of the epidermis, move toward the upper layer, lose their ability to divide, and differentiate, passing through the stratum spinosum and the stratum granulosum to the uppermost stratum corneum. It reaches and differentiates into keratinocytes. The stratum corneum is the final differentiation product of epidermal keratinocytes and eventually peels off the skin. The process of proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes is called turnover, and epidermal stem cells are considered to play an important role in this epidermal turnover (Non-Patent Document 8). Therefore, in order to normalize the turnover and exert a stronger epidermal barrier function, it is important to induce the differentiation of epidermal stem cells into the outermost stratum corneum.

Other medicinal effects of Prunus japonica are known to have a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) component production promoting effect (Patent Document 1) and a peroxisome proliferating agent-responsive receptor activating effect (Patent Document 2).

As the cell adhesion incubator, those treated with a cell-supporting substrate or the like using an extracellular matrix or the like may be used for the purpose of improving the adhesion to cells. Examples of the cell-supporting substrate include collagen, gelatin, poly-L-lysine, poly-D-lysine, laminin, fibronectin and the like.

表皮幹細胞培養に使用される培地に対するニワウメの抽出物の添加濃度は、上述の本発明に係る表皮幹細胞の分化促進剤におけるニワウメの抽出物の含有量に準じて適宜決定することができるが、ニワウメの抽出物の乾燥物に換算して、例えば1~10000μg/mL、好ましくは10~5000μg/mL、最も好ましくは50~2000μg/mLの濃度が挙げられる。また、表皮幹細胞の培養期間中、これらの抽出物を定期的に培地に添加してもよい。 The concentration of the extract of Prunus japonica added to the medium used for culturing the epidermis stem cells can be appropriately determined according to the content of the extract of Prunus japonica in the above-mentioned agent for promoting the differentiation of the epidermis stem cells according to the present invention. In terms of the dried product of the extract, for example, a concentration of 1 to 10000 μg / mL, preferably 10 to 5000 μg / mL, and most preferably 50 to 2000 μg / mL can be mentioned. In addition, these extracts may be added to the medium on a regular basis during the culture period of epidermal stem cells.

表皮幹細胞の培養条件は、表皮幹細胞の培養に用いられる通常の条件に従えばよく、特別な制御は必要ではない。例えば、培養温度は、特に限定されるものではないが約30~40℃、好ましくは約36~37℃である。COガス濃度は、例えば約1~10体積%、好ましくは約2~5体積%である。なお、培地の交換は2~3日に1回行うことが好ましく、毎日行うことがより好ましい。前記培養条件は、表皮幹細胞が生存及び増殖可能な範囲で適宜変動させて設定することもできる。 The culture conditions for epidermal stem cells may follow the usual conditions used for culturing epidermal stem cells, and no special control is required. For example, the culture temperature is not particularly limited, but is about 30 to 40 ° C, preferably about 36 to 37 ° C. The CO 2 gas concentration is, for example, about 1 to 10% by volume, preferably about 2 to 5% by volume. The medium is preferably exchanged once every 2 to 3 days, and more preferably every day. The culture conditions can be appropriately varied and set within a range in which epidermal stem cells can survive and proliferate.

表皮幹細胞の表皮角化細胞への分化が促進されたか否かのin vitroでの判定は、当業者が通常行う方法によって行うことが可能であり、例えば、本発明に係る表皮幹細胞の表皮角化細胞への分化促進剤の非存在下で培養した表皮幹細胞と比較して、本発明に係る表皮幹細胞の分化促進剤の存在下で培養した該幹細胞において表皮角化細胞マーカー遺伝子の発現レベルがmRNAレベル又はタンパク質レベルで有意に高いか否かで評価することができる。表皮角化細胞マーカー遺伝子としては、例えば、LOR(ロリクリン)、FLG(フィラグリン)、IVL(インボルクリン)、OCLN(オクルディン)、CLDN(クローディン)などが挙げられるが、これらに限定はされない。 In vitro determination of whether or not the differentiation of epidermal stem cells into epidermal keratinized cells can be performed by a method usually performed by those skilled in the art, for example, epidermal keratinization of epidermal stem cells according to the present invention. The expression level of the epidermal keratinization cell marker gene is mRNA in the stem cells cultured in the presence of the differentiation promoting agent of the epidermal stem cells according to the present invention, as compared with the epidermal stem cells cultured in the absence of the differentiation promoting agent into cells. It can be evaluated by whether it is significantly higher at the level or protein level. Examples of the epidermal keratinized cell marker gene include, but are not limited to, LOR (loricrin), FLG (filaggrin), IVL (volucrin), OCLU (occludin), and CLDN (claudin).

実験例1 表皮幹細胞の表皮角化細胞への分化促進効果の評価
表皮幹細胞のモデルとして、ヒト不死化表皮細胞を用いた。ヒト不死化表皮細胞を、φ60mm dishに1×10個播種し、HuMedia KG-2培養液にて、37℃、5体積%CO条件下で培養した。培養を開始してから24時間後に、各試料(終濃度は表1に記載)を添加したHuMedia KG-2培養液にて72時間培養した後、細胞を回収し、総RNAの抽出を行った。細胞からの総RNAの抽出はRNAiso Plus(タカラバイオ)を用いて行い、総RNA量は分光光度計(Nanodrop)を用いて260nmにおける吸光度により求めた。mRNA発現量の測定は、細胞から抽出した総RNAを基にしてリアルタイムRT-PCR法により行った。リアルタイムRT-PCR法には、PrimerScript RT Master Mix(タカラバイオ)及びSYBR Select Master Mix(ライフテクノロジーズ)を用いた。即ち、500ngの総RNAを逆転写反応後、PCR反応(95℃:15秒間、60℃:60秒間、40cycles)を行った。その他の操作は定められた方法に従い、表皮角化細胞への分化マーカーであるインボルクリン(IVL) mRNAの発現量を、内部標準である18SrRNAの発現量に対する割合として求めた。IVL発現促進率は、コントロール(試料未添加)群のIVL mRNAの発現量に対する試料添加群のIVL mRNAの発現量の比率として算出した。尚、各遺伝子の発現量の測定に使用したプライマーは次の通りである。
Experimental Example 1 Evaluation of the effect of promoting the differentiation of epidermal stem cells into epidermal keratinized cells Human immortalized epidermal cells were used as a model of epidermal stem cells. Human immortalized epidermal cells were seeded in 1 × 10 5 cells in a φ60 mm dish and cultured in HuMedia KG-2 culture medium at 37 ° C. under 5% by volume CO 2 conditions. Twenty-four hours after the start of culturing, cells were collected and total RNA was extracted after culturing in HuMedia KG-2 culture medium to which each sample (final concentration is shown in Table 1) was added for 72 hours. .. Extraction of total RNA from cells was performed using RNAiso Plus (Takara Bio), and the total amount of RNA was determined by absorbance at 260 nm using a spectrophotometer (Nanodrop). The mRNA expression level was measured by the real-time RT-PCR method based on the total RNA extracted from the cells. For the real-time RT-PCR method, PrimerScript RT Master Mix (Takara Bio) and SYBR Select Master Mix (Life Technologies) were used. That is, after a reverse transcription reaction of 500 ng of total RNA, a PCR reaction (95 ° C: 15 seconds, 60 ° C: 60 seconds, 40 cycles) was performed. For other operations, the expression level of involucrin (IVL) mRNA, which is a marker for differentiation into epidermal keratinocytes, was determined as a ratio to the expression level of 18S rRNA, which is an internal standard, according to a predetermined method. The IVL expression promotion rate was calculated as the ratio of the expression level of IVL mRNA in the sample-added group to the expression level of IVL mRNA in the control (non-sampled) group. The primers used to measure the expression level of each gene are as follows.
