Abstract
Description
本発明は、DKK1 mRNA発現抑制剤及び白髪改善剤に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a DKK1 mRNA expression inhibitor and a gray hair improving agent.
従来、毛包のメラノサイトからのメラニンの産生を促進させて、新たに毛包から産生される毛髪のメラニン量を増加させることで、白髪の発生予防や毛髪の色調改善が行われている。例えば、キク科ネコノシタ属の植物抽出物を有効成分とするメラノサイト活性化剤を、白髪防止剤等として使用可能であることが知られている(特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, the production of melanin from melanocytes in hair follicles is promoted to increase the amount of melanin newly produced in hair, thereby preventing gray hair and improving hair color. For example, it is known that a melanocyte activator containing an extract of a plant belonging to the family Asteraceae, the genus Neclantia, as an active ingredient can be used as an agent for preventing gray hair (see Patent Document 1).
WNT(ウイント)シグナル経路は、線虫から哺乳動物まで広く保存されている細胞内シグナル経路である。WNTシグナル経路では、分泌タンパク質であるWNTが、細胞膜上に存在するWNT受容体に結合することにより、シグナルが伝達される。表皮においては、WNTシグナル経路の活性化により、メラノサイトの分化・増殖及びメラニン合成を促進することが知られている。 The WNT signal pathway is an intracellular signal pathway that is widely conserved from nematodes to mammals. In the WNT signal pathway, signals are transmitted when WNT, a secreted protein, binds to WNT receptors present on cell membranes. In the epidermis, activation of the WNT signal pathway is known to promote melanocyte differentiation and proliferation and melanin synthesis.
一方、WNTシグナル経路を阻害する因子として、WNTとWNT受容体との結合を阻害する分泌タンパク質であるDKK1(Dickkopf 1)が知られている。DKK1は、皮膚においては真皮の間葉系細胞である皮膚線維芽細胞より分泌され、表皮に存在するメラノサイトの分化及び増殖を抑制し、メラニンの合成を抑制することが知られている(非特許文献1参照)。また、DKK1は、表皮のケラチノサイト(表皮角化細胞)の増殖を促進し、メラノサイトからのメラニンの取り込みを抑制することも知られている(非特許文献2参照)。したがって、毛包の間葉系細胞である毛乳頭細胞においてDKK1の発現を抑制することができれば、毛包のメラノサイトのWNTシグナル経路を活性化し、メラニンの合成を促進させることができ、その結果として白髪を改善することができると考えられる。 On the other hand, DKK1 (Dickkopf 1), a secreted protein that inhibits the binding between WNT and WNT receptor, is known as a factor that inhibits the WNT signal pathway. In the skin, DKK1 is secreted by dermal fibroblasts, which are mesenchymal cells in the dermis, and is known to suppress the differentiation and proliferation of melanocytes present in the epidermis, and suppress melanin synthesis (non-patent research). (See Reference 1). It is also known that DKK1 promotes the proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes (epidermal keratinocytes) and suppresses the uptake of melanin from melanocytes (see Non-Patent Document 2). Therefore, if the expression of DKK1 can be suppressed in dermal papilla cells, which are mesenchymal cells of the hair follicle, it will be possible to activate the WNT signal pathway in the melanocytes of the hair follicle, promoting melanin synthesis, and as a result, It is thought that it can improve gray hair.
毛包は、主に外胚葉由来の上皮系細胞と中胚葉由来の間葉系細胞より構成されており、これらの細胞の相互作用により発生及び再生が起こる器官であり、毛周期と呼ばれる再生及び退縮のプロセスを生涯繰り返す。休眠中の毛包幹細胞が活性化することで、成長期(anagen)が始まる。成長期には、間葉系の毛乳頭細胞や上皮系細胞からの発毛シグナルとなる成長因子(VEGF,HGF,IGF-1,FGF7,BMP,WNT,Noggin等)の産生が盛んになり、毛(毛幹)の材料となる毛母細胞等の上皮系細胞の分裂が活発化し、毛が伸長する。成長期の最後になると毛乳頭や皮下脂肪等の間葉系細胞より脱毛シグナルとなる成長因子(FGF5,TGF-β等)の産生が盛んになり、毛包が退行期(catagen)に移行する。退行期には毛母が細胞分裂を停止し、アポトーシスにより細胞数が減少する。その後、休止期(telogen)を経て、再度成長期に移行する(非特許文献3)。このように、毛の成長を促すためには、毛の材料となる毛包の上皮系細胞(ケラチノサイト)の増殖を直接的に活性化することや、発毛シグナルとなる成長因子の産生を高めて毛包の成長期を誘導・維持することが重要である。 Hair follicles are mainly composed of epithelial cells derived from the ectoderm and mesenchymal cells derived from the mesoderm, and are organs in which development and regeneration occur through the interaction of these cells. The process of involution repeats throughout life. The anagen phase begins when dormant hair follicle stem cells are activated. During the growth phase, mesenchymal dermal papilla cells and epithelial cells actively produce growth factors (VEGF, HGF, IGF-1, FGF7, BMP, WNT, Noggin, etc.) that signal hair growth. The division of epithelial cells such as hair matrix cells, which are the material for hair (hair shaft), becomes active and the hair elongates. At the end of the growth phase, mesenchymal cells such as the dermal papilla and subcutaneous fat actively produce growth factors (FGF5, TGF-β, etc.) that signal hair loss, and the hair follicle shifts to the catagen phase. . During the catagen phase, the hair matrix stops cell division and the number of cells decreases due to apoptosis. Thereafter, it passes through a telogen phase and enters a growth phase again (Non-Patent Document 3). In this way, in order to promote hair growth, it is necessary to directly activate the proliferation of epithelial cells (keratinocytes) in the hair follicle, which are the material for hair, and to increase the production of growth factors that serve as hair growth signals. It is important to induce and maintain the growth phase of hair follicles.

ここで、WNTシグナルは毛包幹細胞の活性化に関与することが解明されている。WNTシグナルとは,分泌タンパクであるWNT群による生体内シグナルであり、発生における多種多様な生物学的プロセスに重要な役割を示すことが知られている。リガンドであるWNTが細胞膜上のWNT受容体(LPRやFZD等)に結合することで、細胞が活性化される。WNTシグナルは、大きく分けてWNT/βカテニン経路(古典的WNT経路)、PCP経路及びWnt/Ca2+経路の3経路が知られる。WNT/βカテニン経路のシグナル伝達においては、リガンドであるWNTが受容体に結合すると、細胞内でβカテニンが安定化・蓄積し、核に移行する。核内でβカテニンは、TCF/LEFファミリーと結合し、標的遺伝子の転写活性化が起こる。 Here, it has been elucidated that WNT signals are involved in the activation of hair follicle stem cells. WNT signals are in-vivo signals produced by the WNT group, which are secreted proteins, and are known to play an important role in a wide variety of biological processes during development. Cells are activated when WNT, which is a ligand, binds to WNT receptors (LPR, FZD, etc.) on the cell membrane. WNT signals are broadly classified into three known routes: WNT/β-catenin pathway (classical WNT pathway), PCP pathway, and Wnt/Ca 2+ pathway. In signal transduction of the WNT/β-catenin pathway, when the ligand WNT binds to a receptor, β-catenin is stabilized and accumulated within the cell and translocated to the nucleus. In the nucleus, β-catenin binds to the TCF/LEF family and transcriptional activation of target genes occurs.
毛包の休止期において、WNTリガンドが発現してWNT/βカテニンシグナルが活性化すると、毛包幹細胞が活性化して毛包は成長期に移行し、毛の伸長が始まる。すなわち、WNTシグナルを活性化することが発育毛に重要である。 During the resting phase of hair follicles, when WNT ligand is expressed and WNT/β-catenin signals are activated, hair follicle stem cells are activated, the hair follicle shifts to the growth phase, and hair elongation begins. That is, activating WNT signals is important for hair growth.
WNTシグナルの阻害タンパク質としてDKK1(Dickkopf-related protein 1)が挙げられる。DKK1の産生を抑制することができると、WNTシグナルを活性化し、ケラチノサイトの増殖を促進させることができる。 DKK1 (Dickkopf-related protein 1) is an example of a protein that inhibits WNT signals. If DKK1 production can be suppressed, WNT signals can be activated and keratinocyte proliferation can be promoted.
