Definitions

• An agent for inducing the synthesis of heat-shock proteins in human and animal cells a cosmetic preparation for enhancing reparative processes; a cosmetic preparation for reducing side effects of aggressive cosmetic procedures; a food supplement; a foodstuff; a method of reducing side effects of aggressive cosmetic procedures.
• the present invention relates to the field of biology and medicine, in particular cosmetology, and can be used in creating and manufacturing cosmetic preparations, biologically active additives and foods.
• Heat shock proteins are a class of functionally similar proteins whose expression is induced in response to elevated temperatures and many other adverse exposures. By this time, several HSP families have been isolated differing in molecular weight. The expression of genes encoding heat shock proteins is regulated by heat shock factor (HSF), which under normal conditions exists in the form of an inactive monomer bound to HSP. That complex disintegrates following a heat shock or another stress, and heat shock factor forms trimers capable of binding to DNA and activating HSP transcription. Heat shock proteins have been found in the cells of virtually all living organisms ranging from bacteria to humans.
• HSF heat shock factor
• HSPs are proteins that perform functions of molecular chaperones and participate in the folding of newly synthesized proteins and proteins with partially damaged structure. HSP participate in preventing the aggregation of incorrectly folded or partially unfolded proteins, assembly and disintegration of supramolecular protein structures, transport of proteins through membranes, and also unfolding of damaged proteins for their subsequent catabolism. HSP content increases in the cells of an organism subjected to elevated temperature or other stresses, as well as exposed to HSP inducing substances.
• HSP60 Of interest for the purposes of the present invention are HSP60, 70, 90, and 100, which possess the most intense chaperone function.
• the induction of the aforesaid HSPs is considered to be a defining factor for increasing stress resistance of cells.
• HSP synthesis in the cells of an organism exposed to a stress factor disrupting its normal functioning, is considered now to be a protective reaction contributing to the enhancement of cell resistance to external stress and the removal of structural and functional proteins damaged by the stress /Heat Shock Proteins and Whole Body Physiology 1st Edition/. A.A.A. Asea and B. . Pedersen (eds.), 2010, 430 pj.
• Insufficient HSP synthesis in an organism is accompanied with a low cell growth rate and elevated apoptosis, and is a characteristic of cells of an aging organism.
• a clinically insufficient HSP synthesis is accompanied with poor healing of wounds, neurodegenerative diseases, elevated sensitivity of tissues of the organism to ischemia, and reproductive defects.
• Purposeful cell HSP level regulation is contemplated as an opportunity to influence the sensitivity of a certain group of cells, a tissue, an organ or the organism in general to therapeutic action, exposure to harmful production factors or adverse environmental factors. Of practical interest are both HSP induction and inhibition.
• HSP inhibitors containing benzo[a]quinolizine tricyclic rings as a component of anti-cancer therapy with the use of hyperthermia as a way to sensitize cells to anti-cancer therapies being carried out / WO 2007/041294 2007/.
• HSP induction is intended for wider application.
• acetylsalicylates are used as components of cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions as agents capable of inducing HSP synthesis /US 20060148767, 2006/.
• the said compositions are recommended for use in treating dermatological diseases, cardiomyopathies, neuropathies, diabetes, ischemias, and degenerative diseases of the nervous system.
• a disadvantage of all the compositions described above is the fact that increased HSP expression resulting from application thereof is observed only after stress, e.g. elevated temperature. Without the effect of a stress or damaging factor the rise in HSP expression in the above cases is insignificant, which considerably reduces the effectiveness of protection due to insufficient quantity of molecular chaperones in the cells at the outset of the damaging action. This is especially important under intensive exposures characterized by a high level of primary damage.
• HSPs also play an important role in reparative processes.
• reparative processes mean regeneration of their damaged parts. Repair takes place in the case of regeneration of damaged biomacromolecules and supramolecular formations (membranes, fibrils, organelles), which are structural and functional cell elements. What happens is not a new macromolecule synthesized or a new sub-cell structure formed instead of the damaged one, but repair of the damaged portions of the existing molecule or structure. Mechanisms of the repair of damages in this case are based on the functioning of constantly active molecular damage repair systems in the cell, first of all DNA repair.
• Such procedures are performed by way of applying physical or chemical factors capable of causing functional and/or structural disruptions in cells.
• the applied limited damage of skin cells and tissues results, on the one hand, in the removal of old cells and cells incapable of regeneration and repair, and on the other hand, to the induction of growth and proliferation of stable cells possessing sufficient reparative potential, which ensures the repair of damages in tissues that have undergone the damaging action. Subsequently, young tissue is formed both in the damaged zones and in adjacent areas.

• cosmetic compositions that include, as HSP synthesis inducing agents, heavy metals, salicylates, non-steroid antiinflammatory preparations, nicotine, alcohol, PPAR-gamma agonists, caffeine or mixtures thereof.
• HSP synthesis inducing agents such as, heavy metals, salicylates, non-steroid antiinflammatory preparations, nicotine, alcohol, PPAR-gamma agonists, caffeine or mixtures thereof.
• Application of such agents is recommended to be performed in advance or simultaneously with the start of heating /US 20080031833, 2008/.
• the limitation of the suggested method is the fact that a required pre-requisite of effective enhancement of HSP expression is heating of the skin, which is brought about by the action of the device used in the cosmetic procedure.
• the application of the cosmetic compositions does not guarantee protection from possible side effects due to a low HSP level at the outset of the aggressive cosmetic procedure.
• compositions that contain as their additional components, agents inducing heat shock protein synthesis, such as e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, salicylic acid, zinc compounds (zinc sulfate, zinc L-carnosine) /US 20110269693, 2011/.
