【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、育毛剤による、毛包由来上皮細胞に起こるアポトーシスの抑制作用を評価することを特徴とする育毛剤の評価方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の育毛剤のin vivo 評価系として、C3Hマウス育毛試験は発毛促進作用のみを評価する方法として有用であるが、該評価方法を用いて退行期の抑制又は遅延化を評価することは不可能であった。従って、各種育毛剤が有する退行期の抑制又は遅延化に及ぼす作用を詳細に評価するのは困難であり、退行期に関連する有効な指標を見い出し、測定する必要があった。現在、ヘアーサイクルの退行期には毛包細胞にアポトーシスと呼ばれる細胞死が起こり、このアポトーシスが引金となって毛成長が止まると考えられている(David Weedon et al. Acta Dermatovener(Stockholm) 61:335-369,1981) 。アポトーシスの起こった細胞では、核DNAが断片化され、モノヌクレオソーム及びオリゴヌクレオソームが産生される。しかし、ヘアーサイクルにおいて、モノヌクレオソームやオリゴヌクレオソームの生成量が測定されたことはなかった。
本発明者等は、ヘアーサイクルの生化学的指標として、毛包由来細胞中のモノヌクレオソーム及びオリゴヌクレオソームの総量がC3Hマウスの退行期間に上昇することを見い出し、モノヌクレオソームとオリゴヌクレオソームの総量をC3Hマウスのヘアーサイクル退行期において測定し、有用育毛剤の有する退行期の抑制又は遅延化に及ぼす作用を詳細に評価することが可能であることを見い出した(特願平8−60075号)。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、in vivo ではアポトーシスの起こる作用メカニズムを詳細に検討することができないため、in vitroでの評価系が必要とされる。ところが、in vitroで毛包由来上皮細胞をアポトーシスに誘導し、そのアポトーシスを抑制する作用を測定する評価系は未だ無い。
本発明の目的は、各種育毛剤が有する退行期の抑制又は遅延化に及ぼす作用を詳細に評価するため、退行期に関連する有効な指標を見い出し測定するin vitroでの評価系を提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、上記実情に鑑み鋭意研究した結果、毛包由来上皮細胞を浮遊培養することにより、断片化DNA量、又はモノヌクレオソームとオリゴヌクレオソームの総量が上昇する、つまりアポトーシスに誘導できる事を見い出し、浮遊培養した毛包由来上皮細胞の断片化DNA量、又はモノヌクレオソームとオリゴヌクレオソームの総量を測定し、有用育毛剤の有する退行期の抑制作用を詳細に評価することが可能である事を見い出した。すなわち、本発明は、育毛剤のアポトーシス抑制作用を、毛包由来上皮細胞をアポトーシスに誘導し、その過程において毛包由来上皮細胞中の断片化DNA量、又はモノヌクレオソームとオリゴヌクレオソームの総量、いずれかを測定することによって評価することを特徴とする育毛剤の評価方法にある。また、本発明は発毛抑制剤の評価に利用できる評価方法でもある。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明者等は、毛包由来上皮細胞にアポトーシスを誘導し、その抑制作用を毛包由来上皮細胞中の断片化DNA量、又はモノヌクレオソームとオリゴヌクレオソームの総量を測定することによって、詳細な育毛作用を評価することを可能としたが、本発明におけるアポトーシスを誘導する方法、断片化DNA量、又はモノヌクレオソームとオリゴヌクレオソームの総量を測定する方法としては、例えば次の通りである。
【0006】
(アポトーシス抑制試験)
(1)アポトーシス誘導方法
アガロースをクラボウ社製M154培地に溶解し、オートクレーブする。この溶液をプラスチックシャーレに適量流し込みシャーレをアガロースでコーティングする。このシャーレにM154培地に懸濁した毛包由来上皮細胞を適当量播種し、さらにアポトーシス抑制作用を調べたい試料を添加してアガロースコーティングプレート上で培養(浮遊培養)する。浮遊培養開始24時間後に細胞を回収する。
【0007】
(2)断片化DNA量測定方法
回収した細胞に細胞溶解バッファー(100mM NaCl,10mM Tris−HClpH8.0,25mM EDTA,0.5%SDS)、さらにその1/10量のプロテアーゼK水溶液(2mg/ml)を加え、細胞を溶解した。細胞溶解後、タンパクを除く為、等量のフェノール−クロロホルム−イソアミルアルコール溶液(25:24:1)を加え、攪拌、遠心後、水溶性分画を取り出す。この操作を2回繰り返して得られた水溶性分画に2倍量のエタノールを加え、DNAを析出させる。このDNAをTE(10mM Tris−HClpH7.4,1mM EDTA)バッファーに溶解し、RNA分解酵素(10mg/ml)を適当量加え、RNAを分解する。その後、1〜数μgのDNAを1.5%アガロースゲルで電気泳動し、エチジウムブロマイドでDNAを染色する。染色後、UVでDNAを可視化する。断片化DNAの量について3段階スコアによって評価を行う。断片化DNA量のスコア評価は、下記表1に示す評価基準に従って行う。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for evaluating a hair-growth agent characterized by evaluating the inhibitory action of apoptosis occurring in hair follicle-derived epithelial cells by the hair-growth agent.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As an in vivo evaluation system for conventional hair restorers, the C3H mouse hair growth test is useful as a method for evaluating only the hair growth-promoting action, but it is not possible to evaluate inhibition or delay of the regression phase using this evaluation method. It was possible. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate in detail the effect of various hair restorers on the suppression or delay of the regression phase, and it is necessary to find and measure an effective index related to the regression phase. Currently, it is thought that hair follicle cells die during the regression phase of the hair cycle, and this apoptosis is triggered to stop hair growth (David Weedon et al. Acta Dermatovener (Stockholm) 61 : 335-369,1981). In apoptotic cells, nuclear DNA is fragmented and mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes are produced. However, the amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes produced in the hair cycle has never been measured.
The present inventors have found that the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes in hair follicle-derived cells increases during the regression period of C3H mice as a biochemical indicator of the hair cycle, and the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes is determined as C3H. It has been found that it is possible to evaluate in detail the effect of the useful hair restorer on the suppression or delay of the regression phase, as measured in the hair cycle regression phase of mice (Japanese Patent Application No. 8-60075).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since in vivo the mechanism of apoptosis cannot be examined in detail, an in vitro evaluation system is required. However, there is still no evaluation system for inducing apoptosis of hair follicle-derived epithelial cells in vitro and measuring the effect of suppressing the apoptosis in vitro.
An object of the present invention is to provide an in vitro evaluation system for finding and measuring an effective index related to the regression phase in order to evaluate in detail the effect of various hair restorers on the suppression or delay of the regression phase. It is in.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies in view of the above circumstances, the present inventors have found that the amount of fragmented DNA or the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes can be increased, that is, induced by apoptosis, by suspension culture of hair follicle-derived epithelial cells. The amount of fragmented DNA in hair follicle-derived epithelial cells cultured in suspension or the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes can be measured, and the inhibitory effect on the regression phase of useful hair restorers can be evaluated in detail. I found out. That is, the present invention induces the apoptosis-suppressing action of the hair growth agent to induce apoptosis in hair follicle-derived epithelial cells, and in the process, either the amount of fragmented DNA in the hair follicle-derived epithelial cells or the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes, It is in the evaluation method of the hair restorer characterized by evaluating by measuring. Moreover, this invention is also an evaluation method which can be utilized for evaluation of a hair growth inhibitor.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors induced apoptosis in hair follicle-derived epithelial cells, and measured the amount of fragmented DNA in the hair follicle-derived epithelial cells or the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes for their inhibitory action. Although it was possible to evaluate the action, examples of the method for inducing apoptosis, the amount of fragmented DNA, or the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes in the present invention are as follows.

(Apoptosis suppression test)
(1) Apoptosis induction method Agarose is dissolved in M154 medium manufactured by Kurabo Industries, and autoclaved. An appropriate amount of this solution is poured into a plastic petri dish, and the petri dish is coated with agarose. An appropriate amount of hair follicle-derived epithelial cells suspended in M154 medium is seeded in this petri dish, and a sample to be further examined for apoptosis-suppressing action is added and cultured on an agarose-coated plate (floating culture). Cells are collected 24 hours after the start of suspension culture.
[0007]
(2) Method for measuring the amount of fragmented DNA A cell lysis buffer (100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 25 mM EDTA, 0.5% SDS) and a 1/10 amount of protease K aqueous solution (2 mg / ml) were added to the collected cells. ml) was added to lyse the cells. After cell lysis, in order to remove protein, an equal amount of a phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol solution (25: 24: 1) is added, stirred and centrifuged, and then the water-soluble fraction is taken out. Two times the amount of ethanol is added to the water-soluble fraction obtained by repeating this operation twice to precipitate the DNA. This DNA is dissolved in TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA) buffer, and an appropriate amount of RNase (10 mg / ml) is added to degrade RNA. Thereafter, 1 to several μg of DNA is electrophoresed on a 1.5% agarose gel, and the DNA is stained with ethidium bromide. After staining, the DNA is visualized with UV. The amount of fragmented DNA is evaluated by a three-level score. The score evaluation of the amount of fragmented DNA is performed according to the evaluation criteria shown in Table 1 below.
[0008]
[Table 1]
[0009]
(3) Method for measuring the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes The method for measuring the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes is based on the method attached to the Cell Death Detection Kit Eliser (also known as Cell Death Detection ELISA, manufactured by Boehringer Mannheim). taking measurement. Specifically, an incubation buffer is added to the collected cells and left at 4 ° C. for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 15000 rpm for 10 minutes, and use a part of the supernatant as a sample. 100 μl of a 10-fold diluted sample is added to a plate previously coated with anti-histone antibody. After standing at room temperature for 90 minutes, the plate is washed 3 times with a washing solution. Next, 100 μl of an anti-DNA-peroxidase antibody solution is added and the mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 90 minutes, and then the plate is washed three times with a washing solution. Finally, 100 μl of a peroxidase substrate (2,2′-azino-di- [3-ethylbenzthiazoline sulfonate (6)]) solution is added, and the absorbance is measured at a wavelength of 405 nm. The total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes is indicated by the absorbance of a certain amount of cells.
