Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a hyaluronic acid production promoting agent. In particular, the present invention relates to a hyaluronic acid production promoting agent comprising poultry feet or a processed product thereof as an active ingredient.
- For the prevention or treatment of various chondropathies, the growth of chondrogenic cells and the expression of their differentiation function are important. That is, the growth and maturation of chondrogenic cells are considered to promote normal growth of bones, facilitate repair of bone fracture, maintain smooth movement of joints, and restore decreased movement of joints. Several growth factors for chondrogenic cells have been reported, including transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). However, clinical applications of chondrocyte growth-promoting drugs that are excellent in safety, stability and efficacy have not been established or practiced yet. Consequently, joint disorders remain a great burden on humans.
- Knee osteoarthritis patients account for the largest proportion of joint disorder patients. One of the causes of knee osteoarthritis is aging, and the incidence of the disease is expected to increase in this aging society. The incidence rate is particularly higher in women than men, and the sex ratio of men to women patients is 1 to 4. Joint disorders in which the main lesion is degeneration of cartilage (e.g., joint diseases) have conventionally been prevented or treated mostly with symptomatic therapy by direct injection of hyaluronic acid into knee joints or by using antiinflammatories, or with drug therapy using bone resorption inhibitors such as estrogen and calcitonin, or aspirin, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, these therapies are not effective enough, and the drugs are well-known to cause adverse effects such as digestive tract disorders. Under these circumstances, there has been a great demand for prophylactic or alleviating drugs that are highly effectively and safely used for treatment of joint injuries and joint disorders.
- The inventors have found a beneficial action of an egg yolk hydrolysate on cartilage (Patent Literature 1). However, there has been no report on an action of poultry feet or a processed product thereof on cartilage.
- Patent Literature 1: WO 2014/007318

- Poultry feet are not commonly eaten by people. Poultry feet are usually disposed as waste, and are therefore usually not commercially distributed as food. Examples of the poultry include chickens, ducks, emus, geese, Indian peafowls, mute swans, ostriches, turkeys, guinea fowls, ring-necked pheasants, golden pheasants, rheas, quails, etc. Particularly preferred are chickens. A preferred chicken is Mitsuse chicken. Mitsuse chicken is a breed derived from French red chickens, and raised mainly in mountainous regions in the northern Kyushu, such as Saga, Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Oita prefectures.
- Poultry feet are body parts under the belly and thigh, or a part thereof. The feet may include the belly and thigh, but preferably do not include the belly or thigh. The feet may include bones, spurs, toes, and leg feathers.
- Poultry feet may be in a raw state, or a boiled, roasted or dried state. Crushing of the feet is performed by a known method. Crushing may be performed using an instrument, such as a mixer and a mill.
- The poultry feet may be pre-treated before processed into a processed product. The pre-treatment may be, for example, pH treatment, removal of impurities, etc. The pH treatment may be performed by immersing the poultry feet in, for example, an acidic liquid, an alkaline liquid, a neutral liquid, or the like. The temperature of the liquid for immersion may be, for example, room temperature (5 to 35° C.), 0 to 5° C., or 35 to 50° C., but is preferably room temperature (5 to 35° C.). The duration of the immersion may be, for example, 1 hour to 1 week, or 3 to 18 hours, but is preferably 6 hours to 4 days, more preferably 1 to 3 days. The pH of the liquid can be adjusted by, for example, adding a strong acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid), a strong alkali (sodium hydroxide), or the like to the liquid containing the poultry feet. The pH of the acidic liquid for immersion may be 0 to 6, but is preferably 4 to 6. The pH of the neutral liquid for immersion may be 6 to 8. The pH of the alkaline liquid for immersion may be 8 to 14, but is preferably 8 to 10. In cases where the poultry feet are pre-treated in the acidic liquid or the alkaline liquid, the liquid may later be neutralized with an alkaline liquid or an acidic liquid. The ratio of the poultry feet (kg) to the immersion liquid (L) in the pH treatment is preferably 0.1 to 1 kg per liter, and is more preferably 0.4 to 0.6 kg per liter. The removal of impurities may be performed by filtration etc. Filtration may be performed by a known method.

The processed product of the poultry feet is also not limited to a particular type, but is particularly preferably, for example, a product obtainable by treating the poultry feet or the feet in a crushed state by extraction, decomposition, drying, and/or the like. The processed product of the poultry feet is preferably a hydrolysate of an extract of the poultry feet or the feet in a crushed state, and is more preferably a dried product of a hydrolysate of an extract of the poultry feet or the feet in a crushed state. The hydrolysate or the dried product is a peptide-containing mixture. The extraction may be performed in, for example, water with a neutral pH. The extraction solvent may be a hydrophilic solvent other than water, and examples of such an extraction solvent include ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, butanol, propanol, and a mixture thereof. Particularly preferred is a mixture of such a hydrophilic solvent and water. The extraction temperature may be 5 to 100° C., 50 to 97° C., 70 to 95° C., or 80 to 90° C. The extraction time may be 1 hour to 1 week, 1 to 24 hours, 1 to 12 hours, or 5 to 7 hours. Extraction at the above extraction temperature for the above extraction time will efficiently yield proteins, peptides, and the like that have a promoting effect on hyaluronic acid production. Crushed poultry feet are preferably prepared by crushing the feet with a crushing machine. Examples of the crushing machine include Waring blenders, mill mixers, homogenizers, single shaft shredders with a pusher, high-speed single shaft crushers, medium-speed single shaft crushers, low-speed single shaft shredders, double shaft shredders, four shaft shredders, hammer mills, disc mills, press machines, etc. The size of the crushed poultry feet may be, for example, 0.5 to 3 cm square, but is preferably 0.5 to 1 cm square. After extraction, the extract is obtained by, for example, removing the extraction solvent from the liquid.
- The extract is then usually subjected to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis may be enzymatic decomposition (using, for example, endoprotease, carboxypeptidase, collagenase, lipase, etc.) or chemical decomposition (using, for example, an acid or alkali etc.), but preferred is enzymatic decomposition. The enzyme may be a hydrolytic enzyme. Hydrolysis is particularly preferably performed on the proteins extracted from poultry feet or the feet in a crushed state. The enzyme used for protein hydrolysis is not particularly limited, but preferred is an enzyme that has protease or carboxypeptidase activity and is usable for food production. Examples of the enzyme include pepsin (EC.3.4.23.1), trypsin (EC.3.4.21.4), renin (EC.3.4.23.15), rennet, which contains renin and is used for cheese making, carboxypeptidase A (EC.3.4.17.1), proteases from Bacillus bacteria (trade name “Alcalase” produced by Novozymes A/S, trade name “Orientase 22BF” produced by HBI Enzymes Inc., trade name “Nukureishin” produced by HBI Enzymes Inc., trade name “Protease S ‘Amano’ G” produced by Amano Enzyme, Inc., trade name “THERMOASE PC10” produced by Daiwa Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd., etc.), proteases from Aspergillus fungi (trade name “Orientase ONS” produced by HBI Enzymes Inc., trade name “Orientase 20A” produced by HBI Enzymes Inc., trade name “Protease P ‘Amano’ 3G” produced by Amano Enzyme, Inc., trade name “Flavourzyme” produced by Novozymes A/S, etc.), etc. These proteolytic enzymes may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Preferred are proteases from Aspergillus fungi, pepsin, and a combination thereof. The hydrolysis is preferably performed in an appropriate solvent, such as water.
- The amount of the enzyme is appropriately adjusted depending on the conditions of the poultry feet and the enzyme to be used. For example, when 1 kg of a chicken feet extract is used as the raw material, the amount of the enzyme used is preferably 100 to 100000 units, and is more preferably 1000 to 30000 units. The enzymatic reaction temperature and the reaction time also vary depending on the conditions of the poultry feet and the enzyme to be used. Preferably, the hydrolysis is performed at about 25 to 75° C. for about 1 to 24 hours.
- The thus prepared hydrolysate may be desalted if desired and directly used. Alternatively, the hydrolysate may be used after purification and/or fractionation by ultrafiltration, gel filtration, various column chromatographic techniques, membrane filter filtration, methods utilizing an isoelectric point, etc. A fraction containing a peptide or protein of interest is preferably dried to give the agent of the present invention.

Whether a sample has effects of alleviating knee pain, knee conditions and bodily pain and improving physical functioning, etc. can be determined by, for example, the method described in Test Example 4. For example, if an assessment score measured by WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) assessment, SF-36 (MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey), JKOM (Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure) assessment, etc. after administration of the sample is significantly different from that before administration of the sample, the sample is determined to have effects of alleviating knee pain, knee conditions and bodily pain and improving physical functioning, etc. Whether a sample has an effect of improving skin dryness, wrinkles or skin tension can be determined by, for example, the method described in Test Example 5(2). For example, if an assessment score measured by VAS for “skin dryness”, “skin tension”, “fine lines at the outer corner of the eyes”, etc. after administration of the sample is significantly different from that before administration of the sample, the sample is determined to have an effect of improving the skin conditions.

- The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The sign “%” means % by weight.
- Raw Mitsuse chicken feet were crushed into about 1 cm square pieces with a homogenizer. To 1 kg of the crushed chicken feet, 2 L of water was added, and hydrochloric acid was then added to adjust the pH to 4.0. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days, the liquid for immersion was discarded and the chicken feet were washed with 2 L of water. To the washed chicken feet, 2 L of water was added, and the mixture was neutralized with sodium hydroxide. Extraction was performed at 90° C. for 6 hours. The resulting mixture was filtered to remove the solid matter to give a chicken foot extract liquid.
- To the chicken foot extract liquid obtained in the above (1), 10,000 units of an endoprotease was added, and the enzymatic reaction was allowed to proceed at 50° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was heated at 90° C., and centrifuged at 3,000×g for 20 minutes to remove insoluble matter. After clarification by filtration, the filtrate was spray-dried by the conventional method to give about 110 g of a hydrolysate of the chicken foot extract.
- The molecular weight analysis of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate was performed by gel filtration chromatography under the following conditions.
- Column: YMC-pack Diol 60 (trade name) (6×300 mm) (YMC Co., Ltd.)
- Eluent: 0.2 M potassium phosphate buffer with 0.2 M NaCl (pH 6.9)/acetonitrile (70:30)
- Flow rate: 0.7 mL/min
- Detection wavelength: 280 nm
- The results of the molecular weight analysis are shown in
FIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 1 , the chicken foot extract hydrolysate of Example 1 shows peaks with molecular weights ranging from 500 Da to 30,000 Da and the area of the peaks accounts for about 80% or more of the total peak area, which corresponds to the total amount of proteins, peptides and amino acids contained in the extract hydrolysate. - This study was performed using the mouse teratoma-derived chondrogenic culture cell line ATDC5 (RIKEN BANK, RBC0565), which is capable of differentiating into chondrocyte-like cells. ATDC5 cells were seeded in a 24-well plate at a density of 2×104 cells/mL per well and cultured in Eagle MEM medium containing 5% fetal calf serum (FCS) under 5% CO2 at 37° C. After 3 days of culture, the cells were washed once with serum-free Eagle MEM medium. After addition of 1 mL of a test solution, the cells were cultured at 37° C. for 2 days. The test solution was previously prepared by dissolving a test sample in serum-free Eagle MEM medium and then sterilizing the solution by passing it through a 0.45-μm filter. The concentration of the test sample, i.e., the chicken foot extract hydrolysate etc., in the test solution was adjusted to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL in each well. At end of culture, the hyaluronic acid concentration in the medium was measured with a hyaluronic acid measurement kit (DuoSet Hyaluronan (R&D Systems)).
- The test samples used were Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 as described below.
- The chicken foot extract hydrolysate produced in the above Production Example A was used as Example 1.
- A mixture of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate produced in the above Production Example A and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) (at a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL each) was used.
- Pig skin-derived type I collagen peptide was used as Comparative Example 1. Fish collagen was used as Comparative Example 2. Pig cartilage-derived chondroitin sulfate was used as Comparative Example 3. Salmon-derived proteoglycan was used as Comparative Example 4. A chicken comb extract was used as Comparative Example 5. N-acetylglucosamine was used as Comparative Example 6.
- The results are shown in Table 1. The hyaluronic acid concentration in the group without addition of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate was set at 100%, and the hyaluronic acid concentration in each of the test sample addition groups was calculated as a percentage relative to that in the group without the addition of the hydrolysate. As shown in Table 1, the relative concentration (%) of hyaluronic acid in the group with addition of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate alone (Example 1) was 350%, indicating that the hydrolysate has the effect of markedly promoting hyaluronic acid production by chondrogenic cells. On the other hand, Comparative Examples 1 to 6 showed lower relative concentrations (%) than the chicken foot extract hydrolysate group. The combination of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) (Example 2) showed a relative hyaluronic acid concentration of 760%, which was higher than those in the chicken foot extract hydrolysate alone (Example 1) and in N-acetylglucosamine alone (Comparative Example 6). These results indicated that the combination of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate and N-acetylglucosamine has a synergistic effect on hyaluronic acid production.

The cells were precultured until confluence. After all medium was removed, medium containing the chicken foot extract hydrolysate at the indicated concentrations and insulin at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL was added. After the cells were incubated for 24 hours, 500 μL/well of ISOGEN II (code No. 311-07361, NIPPON GENE Co., Ltd.) was added to recover the cells, and RNA was extracted from the recovered cells in accordance with the manual of ISOGEN II. cDNA was synthesized from the extracted RNA using Takara PrimeScript RT reagent Kit (Takara Bio, Inc.). The expression of the hyaluronic acid synthase gene (has2) in the synthesized cDNA was measured by real-time PCR (LightCycler (Roche)) using SYBR Premix Ex Taq (Takara Bio, Inc.). The results are shown in
FIG. 2 . The expression of the hyaluronic acid synthase gene increased in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate enhances the expression of the hyaluronic acid synthase gene and thereby increases the production of hyaluronic acid. - The chicken foot extract hydrolysate produced in the above Production Example A was used for administration. The chicken foot extract hydrolysate was suspended in purified water at 50 mg/15 mL (50 mg/day for each animal) at the time of use. The suspension was used as an administration sample.
- Rabbits (Slc:JW, male, Japan SLC, Inc.) at 22 weeks old were purchased. The purchased animals were subjected to a period of quarantine for five days, followed by a period of acclimation for seven days. The animals were kept in an animal room maintained at a temperature of 23° C. and a humidity of 55%. The animals were individually housed in an aluminum cage. The animals were fed with 120 g of solid feed (LRC4, Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.) per day, and allowed free access to tap water as a drinking water.
- The animals were anesthetized by intramuscular administration of a mixed solution of ketamine hydrochloride and xylazine hydrochloride to the thigh muscle. The femoral regions were shaved, and the animals were placed supine. The shaved areas were disinfected with 5% HIBITANE (registered trademark, Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd.) diluted to about 10-fold, alcohol for disinfection, and
ISODINE SOLUTION 10%. Lidocaine hydrochloride in a volume of 2 to 3 mL was subcutaneously administered to the right and left thighs. The skin and fascia of the both thighs were incised with a scalpel to expose the knee joints. The incision was extended along the patellar ligament under the fascia. The joint capsule was cut to dislocate the patella. Bone defects were created on the surface of the femoral groove of each femur by drilling two holes (2 mm in diameter and 4 mm in depth) perpendicular to the bone surface (FIG. 3 ). During the procedure, the field of operation and the circular defects were cleaned with physiological saline (Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory) containing enrofloxacin (0.05%). The incised fascia and skin of the right and left thighs were sutured with a suture (nylon suture, 4-0, 3-0, Alfresa Pharma Corporation). ISODINE GEL (Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd.) was applied to the closed incision. After the operation, enrofloxacin was subcutaneously administered to the dorsal cervical region for two days. For prevention of infection of the incision, an Elizabethan collar was placed around the neck for one week after the operation. - Two groups, i.e., a control group (with administration of purified water) and a 50 mg/day chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group were set up. Two rabbits were used per group and four circular defects were created per animal, that is, test was performed at n=8 (two animals per group). Oral gavage (15 mL per animal) was performed once a day for three weeks, starting from the next day of the damage development until the day before dissection. During the administration period, the general conditions and the incidence of death were observed once a day.
- On the day of dissection of all animals, the animals were sacrificed by bleeding from the abdominal aorta under anesthesia by administration of 4% pentobarbital sodium into the auricular vein. The animals were dissected, and the damaged sites and their surroundings were examined macroscopically.
- The femur (including the damaged sites) was harvested, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde phosphate buffer, defatted, and decalcified with K—CX. The specimens were paraffin embedded in the conventional manner, and sliced into sections containing the center of the defect site. The sections were stained with HE, Alcian blue or Safranin O. For the sections stained with Alcian blue or Safranin O, the stained area was determined with a commercial software (Microsoft Office Excel 2003).
- The mean and standard deviation were determined for the Alcian blue-stained area and the Safranin 0-stained area in each group. The test of significance (t-test) between the control group and the chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group was conducted. The significance level was set at 5%, and if the p-value was smaller than 5% (p<0.05), it was determined there was a significant difference.
- No animals died or went into a near-death state, and no abnormality was observed in the general conditions during the administration period. In the macroscopic observation at the time of dissection, the damaged sites were assessed as follows: score 0: the circular defect was not healed at all, and score 3: the circular defect was filled with cartilage matrix and the boundary of the defect became unclear (healed state), as indicated in
FIG. 4 . The results revealed that the restoration of the circular defects was significantly more efficient in the chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group than in the control group. - For detailed analysis of the circular defects, histological sections of the bone tissue were prepared and stained with Alcian blue. As shown in
FIG. 5 , the circular defects of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group were intensely stained. The results of measurement of the stained area of the circular defects are shown inFIG. 6 . As shown in the figure, the stained area of the circular defects was significantly larger in the chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group than in the control group. The results revealed that the cartilage matrix components, acid mucopolysaccharides, were increased by oral administration of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate. - Similarly, in Safranin O staining, the circular defects of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group were intensely stained as shown in
FIG. 7 . The results of measurement of the stained area of the circular defects are shown inFIG. 8 . As shown in the figure, the stained area of the circular defects was significantly larger in the chicken foot extract hydrolysate administration group than in the control group. The results revealed that the cartilage matrix components, proteoglycans, were increased by oral administration of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate. - The subjects were healthy Japanese men aged between 45 and 69 and Japanese women aged between 40 and 59 who had not reached menopause, and all the subjects suffered from pain in the knee joints. The subjects were divided into groups as below. The chicken foot extract hydrolysate produced in the above Production Example A was used for administration.
- Chicken
foot extract hydrolysate 50 mg group: a total of 12 subjects, consisting of 5 men and 7 women at an average age of 49.8±5.9 years. One capsule contained 25 mg of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate, 223 mg of dextrin, and 2 mg of calcium stearate. The subjects ingested two capsules per day. - Chicken
foot extract hydrolysate 200 mg group: a total of 12 subjects, consisting of 5 men and 7 women at an average age of 49.3±6 0.3 years. One capsule contained 100 mg of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate, 98 mg of dextrin, and 2 mg of calcium stearate. The subjects ingested two capsules per day. - The ingestion period of the capsules was 12 weeks. The evaluation test was performed before ingestion and 6 and 12 weeks after ingestion.
- Test method: randomized, double-blind, parallel-group comparison study.
- Ethical considerations: the test was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
- WOMAC was used for the evaluation. WOMAC is a patient-reported assessment tool, in which a patient answers 24 questions about pain, stiffness (sensation of restriction), and difficulties in daily activities, and assessment is performed based on the answers. The subjects rated the assessment items on a five-point scale, including 5 items for pain, 2 items for stiffness, and 17 items for difficulties in daily activities. The rated scores were statistically analyzed. A smaller score indicates a higher QOL.
- JKOM is a patient-reported QOL assessment scale specific to knee osteoarthritis in Japanese. JKOM includes the assessment of a knee pain by the VAS scale, and questions about pain and stiffness of the knee joint, difficulties in daily activities, and health conditions. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) used in this assessment is a measurement instrument for the amount of sensation that a patient feels for a particular question. The patient marks, on a 100-mm straight line, the point that he or she feels represents their perception of the current state, and the amount of sensation is determined based on the mark made by the patient. The VAS score is determined by measuring the distance from the left hand end on the line to the point that the patient marks. In JKOM, the subjects answered 25 questions on a five-point scale, including 8 items for the knee conditions, 10 items for daily activities, 5 items for going-out activities, and 2 items for health conditions. A smaller score indicates a higher QOL.
- SF-36 (MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey) is a subjective QOL assessment tool for health conditions. This assessment tool is widely used in various clinical fields, such as knee osteoarthritis and psychiatric disorders. SF-36 consists of 36 questions classified into nine domains: physical functioning, physical role functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions, vitality, social role functioning, emotional role functioning, mental health, and change in health. A larger score indicates a higher QOL.
- In statistical analysis, in-group comparison was conducted by Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare the measured values before ingestion with those at 6 and 12 weeks after ingestion. Data were considered significantly different if the critical value was 5% or less (p<0.05). A significant difference is indicated by a single, double or triple asterisks: (p<0.05), ** (p<0.01) and *** (p<0.001). Inter-group comparison was conducted by Mann-Whitney U test to investigate the changes between before ingestion and 6 or 12 weeks after ingestion.
- The results of WOMAC assessment are shown in
FIGS. 9 to 11 . As shown inFIG. 9 , the total score was significantly reduced 6 and 12 weeks after ingestion in the chickenfoot extract hydrolysate 50 mg and 200 mg groups as compared with that before ingestion, indicating the alleviation of knee joint disorders. As apparent fromFIGS. 10 and 11 , pain was reduced and daily activities became easier, confirming that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate is useful as an agent for improving QOL. - The results of JKOM assessment are shown in
FIGS. 12 to 14 . As evident fromFIGS. 12 to 14 , JKOM assessment also indicated that oral ingestion of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate resulted in the alleviation of knee pain and knee conditions and the reduction in the JKOM total score, indicating the improvement in QOL. - The results of SF-36 assessment are shown in
FIGS. 15 and 16 . As apparent fromFIGS. 15 and 16 , the bodily pain was reduced and physical functioning was improved by oral ingestion of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate. - The above results indicated that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate has the effects of alleviating knee pain, knee conditions and bodily pain and improving physical functioning. Also indicated is that ingestion of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate improves daily activities. Therefore, it was evident that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate is useful as an agent for improving QOL.

TABLE 2 WOMAC total score In-group significant difference vs. Inter-group significant before ingestion difference vs. placebo Women group Yes Yes Men group Yes No 200 mg/day, 12 weeks of ingestion - The incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis in women is about 4 times higher than that in men, and accordingly high efficacy for women is desired. Women's data were sampled from the experimental data, and statistical analysis was performed. In-group comparison showed significant difference between before and after ingestion in both men and women groups. On the other hand, inter-group comparison between the hydrolysate group and the placebo group at two weeks after ingestion showed that only the women group showed significant difference in improvement in QOL, in particular, the WOMAC total score, the difficulty in daily activities and knee conditions. The analysis revealed that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate is particularly effective for women, and markedly reduces knee pain, improves daily activities and alleviates knee conditions.
- Human dermal fibroblasts (HS68) were suspended in D-MEM medium [D-MEM (high glucose) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin mixed solution (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.)]. The suspension was seeded in a 24-well plate at 3×104 cells/well. The cells were cultured under 5% CO2 at 37° C. for 24 hours. The medium was replaced with serum-free D-MEM medium [D-MEM (high glucose) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) supplemented with 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin mixed solution (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.)], and the chicken foot extract hydrolysate was added as a sample to the medium at 0.05 mg/mL. To a control group, no sample was added. The cells were cultured under the same conditions for 24 hours. The cells were recovered and total RNA was extracted. cDNA was synthesized from the total RNA by reverse transcription reaction. Primers for the hyaluronic acid synthase gene (has2) were added, and real-time PCR was performed using the cDNA as a template to measure the promotion of the has2 gene expression by the chicken foot extract hydrolysate.
- The measurement revealed that the addition of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate at a concentration of 0.05 mg/mL significantly increased the expression level of has2 (
FIG. 17 ). - Based on the results, it is expected that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate will enhance the expression of hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS2) in dermal cells and promote the production of hyaluronic acid, thereby increasing moisture and tension of the skin, leading to improvement in wrinkles and sagging skin.
- Based on the results of the cell assay, it was expected that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate would improve moisture and tension of the skin and wrinkles. To examine these effects, a test was carried out as described below using subjects consisting of healthy Japanese men aged between 45 and 69 and Japanese women aged between 40 and 59 who had not reached menopause, all the subjects suffering from pain in the knee joints.
- A total of 12 subjects, consisting of 5 men and 7 women at an average age of 49.8±5.9 years, orally ingested two capsules per day containing the chicken foot extract hydrolysate (one capsule contained 25 mg of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate, 223 mg of dextrin, and 2 mg of calcium stearate).
- The ingestion period of the capsule was 12 weeks. The evaluation test was performed before ingestion and 6 weeks after ingestion. The VAS questionnaire was used to evaluate the following items: “skin dryness”, “skin tension”, and “fine lines at the outer corner of the eyes”. The results are shown in Table 3.
-
TABLE 3 Skin conditions (VAS questionnaire, n = 12) 6 weeks after ingestion of Before chicken foot extract Item Unit ingestion hydrolysate (50 mg/day) Skin dryness mm 57.5 (25.0-66.5) 25.0** (23.0-30.3) Skin tension mm 64.0 (49.0-67.3) 48.5* (37.5-57.3) Fine lines at outer mm 49.0 (38.5-68.0) 31.5* (27.5-52.5) corner of eyes Median: the first quartile − the third quartile *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test vs. before ingestion) - As apparent from Table 3, significant improvement was observed in the “skin dryness” in the chicken
foot extract hydrolysate 50 mg group as compared with before ingestion (p<0.01). In the same group, significant improvement was also observed in the “skin tension” and the “fine lines at the outer corner of the eyes” (p<0.05). - The above results confirmed that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate promotes the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, increases skin moisture, and improves skin dryness, wrinkles or skin tension.
- To evaluate the effect of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate applied to the skin, an application test of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate to humans was performed. The subjects were a total of 10 subjects, consisting of 5 men and 5 women at an average age of 36.0 years. A 0.1% (w/v) aqueous solution of the chicken foot extract hydrolysate and a control (water) were applied to both arms in an amount of 0.05 mL for one week. The skin moisture content of the applied area was measured with Moisture Checker MY-808S (Scalar Corporation) before application and after 4 and 7 days of application. The measurement results indicated that the skin moisture content was significantly increased after 4 and 7 days of application of the solution containing the chicken foot extract hydrolysate compared with that by the application of water. The results revealed that the chicken foot extract hydrolysate increases the moisture content of the skin, which confirmed the improvement in the moisture of the skin (
FIG. 18 ). - A Phe-Hyp dipeptide, phenylalanyl-4-hydroxyproline, was produced by liquid-phase synthesis. The obtained Phe-Hyp dipeptide powder was dissolved in DMEM/F-12 medium to give a sample (a solution containing the Phe-Hyp dipeptide).
- The mouse chondrogenic cell line ATDC5 (RIKEN BRC No. RCB0565) was cultured until subconfluence at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5 vol % CO2 and 95 vol % air in DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 5% (w/w) FBS, 1% (w/w) penicillin-streptomycin solution, 5 μg/mL transferrin, and 3×10−8 M sodium selenite. The cells were collected by trypsin treatment. The collected cells were suspended in fresh DMEM/F-12 medium with the same supplements as above to give a cell suspension (50×104 cells/mL). The cell suspension was spot-seeded at a volume of 20 μL in each well of a 24-well plate, and the cells were precultured at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5 vol % CO2 and 95 vol % air for 3 hours. The medium in each well was replaced with fresh DMEM/F-12 medium containing the same supplements as above and the Phe-Hyp dipeptide (at a final concentration of 500 μM) and insulin (at a final concentration of 0.1 μg/mL), and the cells were cultured for 14 days. The cartilage matrix produced by the chondrogenic cells was stained with Alcian blue staining solution, the stained cartilage matrix was quantified with Image J (National Institutes of Health), and the results were evaluated. The amount of the cartilage matrix produced by the chondrogenic cells in the sample addition group was expressed in terms of a relative value, with the amount of the cartilage matrix in the no sample group taken as 100.
- The results are shown in
FIG. 19 . The Phe-Hyp dipeptide promoted cartilage matrix production by chondrogenic cells. - The mouse chondrogenic cell line ATDC5 (RIKEN BRC No. RCB0565) was cultured until subconfluence at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5 vol % CO2 and 95 vol % air in DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 5% (w/w) FBS, 1% (w/w) penicillin-streptomycin solution, 5 μg/mL transferrin, and 3×10−8 M sodium selenite. The cells were collected by trypsin treatment. The collected cells were suspended in fresh DMEM/F-12 medium with the same supplements as above to give a cell suspension (10×104 cells/mL). The cell suspension was seeded at a volume of 500 μL in each well of a 24-well plate, and the cells were precultured at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5 vol % CO2 and 95 vol % air for 2 days. The medium in each well was replaced with fresh DMEM/F-12 medium containing the same supplements as above and the Phe-Hyp dipeptide (at a final concentration of 500 μM) and insulin (at a final concentration of 0.1 μg/mL), and the cells were cultured for 3 days. As a positive control, 10 μg/mL insulin was used. At end of culture, total RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis were performed, the relative mRNA expression levels of cartilage differentiation-related genes were quantified by real-time PCR and were normalized to the GAPDH mRNA expression level, and the results were evaluated. The expression levels in the sample addition groups were expressed in terms of relative fold change, with the expression levels in the no sample group taken as 1. Outliers were rejected by applying the Smirnov-Grubbs test.
- The results are shown in

The Phe-Hyp dipeptide enhanced the expression of the cartilage differentiation-related genes, SOX9, Acan, Col X and has2. *, * * and *** indicate the significance level at critical values of 5%, 1%, and 0.1%, respectively. - DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 1 mg/mL Phe-Hyp dipeptide, 5% (w/w) FBS, 1% (w/w) penicillin-streptomycin solution, 5 μg/mL transferrin, and 3×10−8 M sodium selenite was added to each well of a 24-well plate at a volume of 1 mL per well. The femur and tibia were harvested from the right and left hind legs of ddY mice (female, retired). The synovial membrane was incised to expose the cartilage, and the bones were placed in each well so that only the joint was immersed in the medium. The bones were incubated at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5 vol % CO2 and 95 vol % air for one day. At end of incubation, the supernatants were recovered and centrifuged at 1500×g at 4° C. for 30 minutes. The supernatants were recovered, the amount of hyaluronic acid was measured by ELISA and the results were evaluated. The amount of the hyaluronic acid in the sample addition group was expressed in terms of a relative value, with the amount of hyaluronic acid in the no sample group taken as 100.
