Description

角層剥離促進剤Stratum corneum peeling accelerator
 本発明は、イチョウ葉エキス、ユキノシタエキス、イザヨイバラエキス、グリチルリチン酸ジカリウム、エクトインから成る群から選ばれるメソトリプシン発現促進剤及びそれを含む角層剥離促進剤を提供する。 The present invention provides a mesotrypsin expression promoter selected from the group consisting of ginkgo biloba extract, saxifrage extract, Izayoi rose extract, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate and ectoine, and a stratum corneum peeling promoter containing the same.
 表皮の最外層である角層(SC)は、角化した細胞(角質細胞)と、連続的な細胞外脂質層とからなり、生理化学的障壁を形成して環境災害から身体を効果的に保護している。SCは、ケラチノサイトの最終分化を通じて継続的に作り出される。それと同時に細胞シェディング(剥離)も起こってSCが一定の厚さに維持される。正常な剥離では、個々の角質細胞すなわち小さな凝集体が皮膚表面から剥がれる。このプロセスは、健康な人では感知できないが、ある病的状態ではSCの創出と剥離の間に不均衡が存在する。その結果、目に見える過剰な鱗屑となる。これは、乾癬などの炎症性皮膚疾患で見られる。 The outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum (SC), consists of keratinized cells (keratinocytes) and a continuous extracellular lipid layer, forming a physiochemical barrier to effectively protect the body from environmental disasters. Protect. SCs are created continuously through terminal differentiation of keratinocytes. At the same time, cell shedding (detachment) occurs and the SC is maintained at a constant thickness. With normal detachment, individual keratinocytes or small aggregates detach from the skin surface. This process is undetectable in healthy people, but in some pathological conditions there is an imbalance between SC creation and ablation. The result is a visible excess scale. This is seen in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis.
 LundstromとEgelrudは、キモトリプシン様セリンプロテアーゼがSCに存在していて剥離に関与していることを報告している(非特許文献1)。この酵素は、ヒトの足裏のSCから角層キモトリプシン酵素として精製され、角層キモトリプシン酵素をコードしているcDNAは、ヒトケラチノサイトcDNAライブラリーから単離された(非特許文献2;非特許文献3)。本発明者は、キモトリプシン酵素だけでなく、トリプシン様セリンプロテアーゼも足裏以外でのSCの剥離プロセスに関与していることを示した。最近の研究により、15種類のセリンプロテアーゼ(それをカリクレイン1~15(KLK1~15)と呼ぶ)をコードしているヒト組織カリクレイン遺伝子ファミリーが染色体19q13.4にクラスターとして位置していることが明らかにされた(非特許文献4;非特許文献5)。これらセリンプロテアーゼの多くはヒト組織で広く発現しており、その中に皮膚が含まれる。剥離への関与が以前に明らかにされたこれらプロテアーゼは、カリクレインファミリーのメンバーとして新たな命名されている。すなわち、角層キモトリプシン酵素はカリクレイン7(KLK7、hK7)と命名され(非特許文献6)、トリプシン様酵素はカリクレイン5(KLK5、hK5)と命名された(非特許文献7)。KLK5とKLK7が剥離において極めて重要な機能を有する。 Lundstrom and Egelrud have reported that chymotrypsin-like serine protease exists in SC and is involved in detachment (Non-patent Document 1). This enzyme was purified from human sole SC as a stratum corneum chymotrypsin enzyme, and a cDNA encoding the stratum corneum chymotrypsin enzyme was isolated from a human keratinocyte cDNA library (Non-patent document 2; Non-patent document). 3). The present inventor has shown that not only chymotrypsin enzyme but also trypsin-like serine protease is involved in the SC exfoliation process other than the sole. Recent studies reveal that the human tissue kallikrein gene family encoding 15 serine proteases (called kallikreins 1-15 (KLK1-15)) is located as a cluster on chromosome 19q13.4 (Non-patent document 4; Non-patent document 5). Many of these serine proteases are widely expressed in human tissues, including skin. These proteases, previously revealed to be involved in detachment, are newly named as members of the kallikrein family. That is, the stratum corneum chymotrypsin enzyme was named kallikrein 7 (KLK7, hK7) (Non-Patent Document 6), and the trypsin-like enzyme was named kallikrein 5 (KLK5, hK5) (Non-Patent Document 7). KLK5 and KLK7 have a very important function in peeling.
 その一方で、異なる3種類のトリプシノーゲンがヒト膵液に存在する。これらトリプシノーゲンは、その等電位点に基づき、カチオン性トリプシノーゲン、アニオン性トリプシノーゲン、メソトリプシノーゲンと呼ばれている。最近の研究により、これらトリプシノーゲンは、それぞれ異なる遺伝子PRSS1、PRSS2、PRSS3によりコードされる(非特許文献8)。PRSS1遺伝子産物であるトリプシノーゲン1と、PRSS2遺伝子産物であるトリプシノーゲン2は、主要な消化性膵臓プロテアーゼである。PRSS3はメソトリプシノーゲン遺伝子であり、少なくとも2つのスプライシング変異体が生成される(トリプシノーゲン3と4)。これらのトリプシノーゲンはすべて、様々な種に由来する膵臓トリプシノーゲンに存在する非常に高度に保存された、エンテロペプチダーゼによって活性化される推定の切断部位配列DDDDK-1を有する(LightとJanska、1989年)。トリプシノーゲンは膵臓だけでなく他の組織でも発現しており、その中にはさまざまな組織の上皮細胞とヒトの脳が含まれる。興味深いことに、メソトリプシンは他の2つのトリプシンとは基質特異性と阻害剤感受性が異なっている。メソトリプシンはタンパク質基質を余り切断しない。その最も特徴的な性質は、天然のトリプシンインヒビターであるα1-トリプシンインヒビター、膵臓分泌トリプシンインヒビター(Kazalタイプ)、ダイズトリプシンインヒビター(Kunitzタイプ)などに対する耐性である。これらの知見は、トリプシンの、腸での消化に加えて、さまざまな生理学的反応における関与の可能性を示唆している。 On the other hand, three different types of trypsinogen are present in human pancreatic juice. These trypsinogens are called cationic trypsinogen, anionic trypsinogen, and mesotrypsinogen based on their equipotential points. According to recent studies, these trypsinogens are encoded by different genes PRSS1, PRSS2, and PRSS3 (Non-patent Document 8). Trypsinogen 1 which is a PRSS1 gene product and trypsinogen 2 which is a PRSS2 gene product are major digestive pancreatic proteases. PRSS3 is a mesotrypsinogen gene and at least two splicing variants are generated (trypsinogen 3 and 4). All of these trypsinogens have the very highly conserved enteropeptidase-activated putative cleavage site sequence DDDDK-1 present in pancreatic trypsinogen from various species (Light and Janska, 1989) . Trypsinogen is expressed not only in the pancreas but also in other tissues, including epithelial cells of various tissues and the human brain. Interestingly, mesotrypsin differs from the other two trypsins in substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity. Mesotrypsin does not cleave protein substrates very much. Its most characteristic property is resistance to natural trypsin inhibitor α1-trypsin inhibitor, pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (Kazal type), soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz type) and the like. These findings suggest a possible involvement of trypsin in various physiological responses in addition to intestinal digestion.
 本発明者は、ヒトケラチノサイトcDNAライブラリーからトリプシノーゲン遺伝子のcDNAクローニングを行い、その結果メソトリプシノーゲン遺伝子PRSS3の2つのスプライシングアイソフォームを単離し、その一方はトリプシノーゲン4(脳トリプシノーゲン)と同一であり、そして他方はN末端領域をコードするエキソンにおいてのみ相違して、それをトリプシノーゲン5の命名した(非特許文献9)。 The inventor performed cDNA cloning of the trypsinogen gene from a human keratinocyte cDNA library, resulting in the isolation of two splicing isoforms of the mesotrypsinogen gene PRSS3, one of which is identical to trypsinogen 4 (brain trypsinogen), and The other was different only in the exon encoding the N-terminal region and was named trypsinogen 5 (Non-Patent Document 9).
 両アイソフォーム共に、活性化配列DDDDK-1を有す。DDDDK-1は、切断部位での主に負に帯電した残基の存在を理由に、トリプシン自身ではほとんど切断されない。対照的に、エンテロペプチダーゼはDDDDK-1配列に対して特異性が高い(非特許文献10)。例えば、牛トリプシノーゲンに対するエンテロペプチダーゼの触媒効率は、牛トリプシンに対するそれの34,000倍である。したがって、エンテロペプチダーゼがトリプシノーゲンをトリプシンに生理学的に変換する唯一の酵素である。エンテロペプチダーゼが表皮の顆粒層にもっぱら存在することも見出された。これらのトリプシノーゲンとその活性化酵素エンテロペプチダーゼの発現及び存在箇所は、メソトリプシンがケラチノサイトの末端分化に関与する見解と一致する。 Both isoforms have the activation sequence DDDDK-1. DDDDK-1 is hardly cleaved by trypsin itself because of the presence of mainly negatively charged residues at the cleavage site. In contrast, enteropeptidase is highly specific for the DDDDK-1 sequence (Non-Patent Document 10). For example, the catalytic efficiency of enteropeptidase for bovine trypsinogen is 34,000 times that for bovine trypsin. Thus, enteropeptidase is the only enzyme that physiologically converts trypsinogen to trypsin. It has also been found that enteropeptidase is present exclusively in the granular layer of the epidermis. The expression and location of these trypsinogens and their activating enzyme enteropeptidase is consistent with the view that mesotrypsin is involved in terminal differentiation of keratinocytes.
 末端分化の際、多くの現象がタンパク質分解作用に関連している。最外層の顆粒細胞において、核と全てのオルガネラは消失し、ケラチンの分子量は減少し、そしてプロフィラグリンはフラグリンへとプロセッシングされる。最近の研究では、セリンプロテアーゼインヒビターであるリンホ-エピセリアル-カザール-タイプ5インヒビター(LEKTI)が角層剥離に重要であることが示されている。LEKTI遺伝子の突然変異体SPINK5がNetherton症候群として知られる重篤な先天性魚鱗癬様紅皮症を有する患者の欠陥遺伝子として同定されている。主要角層剥離プロテアーゼ(KLK5,KLK7)はLEKTIにより強力に阻害される(非特許文献11)。SPINK5欠損マウスは表皮プロテアーゼの過剰亢進を示し、またデスモグレン1の過剰分解を通じてNetherton症候群に似た症状を示す。複数の表皮カリクレインがデスモグレン1の切断を通じて角層剥離に関与していることもあり、それらはLEKTIにより調節される。 Many phenomena are related to proteolytic action during terminal differentiation. In the outermost granule cells, the nucleus and all organelles disappear, the molecular weight of keratin decreases, and profilagrin is processed into fragrin. Recent studies have shown that the serine protease inhibitor lympho-epithelial-casal-type 5 inhibitor (LEKTI) is important for stratum corneum detachment. A mutant SPINK5 of the LEKTI gene has been identified as a defective gene in a patient with severe congenital ichthyosis-like erythroderma known as Netherton syndrome. The main stratum corneum peeling protease (KLK5, KLK7) is strongly inhibited by LEKTI (Non-patent Document 11). SPINK5-deficient mice show hyperproliferation of epidermal protease and show symptoms similar to Netherton syndrome through excessive degradation of desmoglen-1. Multiple epidermal kallikreins may be involved in stratum corneum detachment through desmoglen 1 cleavage, and they are regulated by LEKTI.
 角層剥離は、細胞接着の働きを示すデスモゾームにKLKが作用してそれを分解すること生じ、LEKTIがKLKの作用を抑制すると角層剥離も抑えられる。これまで、メソトリプシンはLEKTIを分解することでのみ角層剥離を促進するものと考えられていた。 The stratum corneum detachment occurs when KLK acts on a desmosome that exhibits cell adhesion and decomposes it, and when LEKTI suppresses the action of KLK, stratum corneum detachment is also suppressed. Until now, mesotrypsin was thought to promote stratum corneum peeling only by degrading LEKTI.
 本発明の課題は、新たな角層剥離促進剤の提供にある。角層剥離促進剤は文字通り角層剥離を促進することで、肌荒れ改善効果などが発揮される。 An object of the present invention is to provide a new stratum corneum peeling accelerator. The stratum corneum peeling accelerator literally promotes the peeling of the stratum corneum, thereby exhibiting an effect of improving rough skin.
 本発明者は、メソトリプシンが、LEKTIを分解するだけでなく、驚くべきことに角層剥離に寄与するKLK7を直接活性化することを見出した。よって、メソトリプシンの発現を亢進する候補薬剤をスクリーニングした結果、イチョウ葉エキス、ユキノシタエキス、イザヨイバラエキス、グリチルリチン酸ジカリウム及びエクトインがメソトリプシン発現亢進効果を有することを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った:
(1)イチョウ葉エキス、ユキノシタエキス、イザヨイバラエキス、グリチルリチン酸ジカリウム及びエクトインから成る群から選ばれるメソトリプシン発現亢進剤。
(2)(1)のメソトリプシン発現亢進剤を含む角層剥離促進剤。

The inventors have found that mesotrypsin not only degrades LEKTI, but surprisingly directly activates KLK7, which contributes to stratum corneum detachment. Therefore, as a result of screening candidate drugs that enhance the expression of mesotrypsin, it was found that Ginkgo biloba extract, Yukinosita extract, Izayoi rose extract, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate and ectoine have an effect of enhancing mesotrypsin expression, thereby completing the present invention.

Mesotrypsinogen: 1 μg / ml
Assay Method First, mesotrypsinogen is activated with enteropeptidase according to the method for activating mesotrypsinogen described in 1 above. To confirm the activity of mesotrypsin, synthetic substrate S-2444 or the like is used. In the activation of proKLK7, after incubation, 5 μl of the solution containing activated mesotrypsin is directly added to the solution containing proKLK7 and PBS. In addition, after leaving at room temperature for 10 minutes, a substrate solution (S-2586) was added and incubated at 37 ° C. for 30 minutes, and the released p-nitroanilide (pNA) was measured at 405 nm. As a result, it was found that mesotrypsin activates KLK7 in a concentration-dependent manner (FIG. 1).

As a control, 0.1% 1,3-butylene glycol was used.
RT-PCR
 上記のとおりに培養したヒトケラチノサイトから単離した全RNA(500ng)を、ランダム・ヘキサマーとSuperscript II RNアーゼH-逆転写酵素(Gibco-BRL社、ゲサースバーグ、メリーランド州)を用いて逆転写した後、Taq DNAポリメラーゼ(Takara社、京都、日本国)と下記のプライマーを用いてPCR増幅した。94℃で30秒間、60℃で1分間、72℃で1分間という増幅サイクルを40回実行した。
RT-PCR
Total RNA (500 ng) isolated from human keratinocytes cultured as described above was reverse transcribed using random hexamers and Superscript II RNase H-reverse transcriptase (Gibco-BRL, Getersberg, MD) Thereafter, PCR amplification was performed using Taq DNA polymerase (Takara, Kyoto, Japan) and the following primers. 40 amplification cycles of 94 ° C. for 30 seconds, 60 ° C. for 1 minute, and 72 ° C. for 1 minute were performed.
 図2の結果より、コントロールと比較して、イチョウ葉エキス、ユキノシタエキス、イザヨイバラエキス、グリチルリチン酸ジカリウム及びエクトインが、メソトリプシンの発現を有意に亢進させることが分かる。従って、これらの抽出がいずれもメソトリプシンの発現を促進し、それ故KLK7の活性を亢進させ、その結果角層剥離促進効果を示すことが示唆された。
