Description

Corynebacterium jeikeium strain and its skin condition improving use {Corynebacterium jeikeium strain and skin condition improving uses of thereof}

It relates to a novel microorganism, its lysate, a culture solution, an extract of the culture solution, and their use for improving skin condition.

The skin ecosystem provides various types of habitat for microorganisms, and a wide range of microorganisms live there. Human beings, the host, form a symbiotic relationship with them and are known to have many positive effects on the host. The skin constitutes various types of habitats, such as depressions and specialized crevices, and helps a wide range of microorganisms to grow. Basically, the skin forms a physical barrier and helps to defend against potential hazards and toxic substances from the outside. The skin becomes a connection point with the external environment and is also a gathering place for various microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, viruses and small larvae). In accordance with the selection of physical and chemical functions, microorganisms adapt to specialized niches to prepare habitats. In general, the skin is cold, acidic, and remains dry. Structurally, the epidermis forms the skin barrier, blocks the penetration of microorganisms and toxins, and plays an important role in maintaining moisture. The uppermost layer of the epidermis is composed of the stratum corneum. The epidermis has a so-called 'brick and mortar structure', and the skin tissue undergoes a continuous self-healing process, and the squames that have undergone the final differentiation process repeat the process of constantly being removed from the skin tissue.

Probiotics are microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the human body. Most probiotics known to date are known as lactic acid bacteria. Probiotics have been reported to produce effective effects through various beneficial effects on the human body, but studies on the interaction between skin flora and skin are scarce.

Accordingly, there is a need for the development of skin flora that can be usefully used in skin-related conditions.

Example 1. Isolation and identification of strains

A sample (human epidermal keratinocyte) obtained by washing the skin of a healthy woman with sterile distilled water was inoculated into a liquid medium or solid medium (Becton Dickinson, Cockeysville, MD) containing TSB (Tryptic soy broth) and 0.1% tween 80 (Becton Dickinson, Cockeysville, MD). After inoculation, 100 colonies formed after culturing in a 28 ℃ incubator for 48 hours after inoculation were purely separated and cultured, and cultured in a 28 ℃ incubator for 48 hours. The cultured colonies were subjected to 16s rRNA gene sequence identification. The primers used at this time were designed to amplify in response only to bacteria. PCR amplification was carried out in 30 cycles of 95°C for 1 minute, 55°C for 1 minute, 75°C for 1 minute and 30 seconds each, and finally, after treatment at 72°C for 8 minutes, it was stored at 4°C. After the PCR reaction, the DNA sequences of the isolated and cultured species were determined using ABI-3730XL (ABI, USA). When the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA region determined among the isolated and cultured microbial colonies is compared with other strains registered with the BLAST program provided on the website of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), homology is less than 97% Only novel species of were selected and used, and among them, a novel microorganism Corynebacterium jeikeium with less than 98% homology was selected (hereinafter referred to as "SB-3"). The selected SB-3 strain was deposited with the Korea Microbial Conservation Center on April 9, 2020 and was given accession number KCCM12691P, and the SB-3 strain has a 16s rRNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 (complementary DNA).

Then, RNA was isolated from the cells of each sample using trizol (RNA iso, DAKARA, Japan), and RNA was quantified at 260 nm using nanodrops, and cDNA was synthesized in an amplifier using 2 μg of RNA each. (C1000 Thermal Cycler, Bio-Rad, USA). Using the synthesized cDNA as a template, cybergreen (SYBR Green supermix, Applied Biosystems, USA) was added together with primers and cDNA for the target genes COL1A1 and ELN (elastin) in a real-time PCR machine (Step One Plus, Step One Plus, Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed in Applied Biosystems, USA). The expression level of the gene was finally analyzed through correction for the β-actin gene, and the results are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
