Description

락토페린과 결합하고 있는 고농도의 세포외 소포를 함유하는 조건화 배양액Conditioned culture medium containing a high concentration of extracellular vesicles bound to lactoferrin
본 발명은 락토페린(lactoferrin)을 포함하는 배양배지에서 세포를 배양함으로써 수득되는 락토페린과 결합하고 있는 고농도의 세포외 소포(extracellular vesicles)를 함유하는 조건화 배양액(conditioned medium)에 관한 것이다. 또한 본 발명은 상기 조건화 배양액을 포함하는 화장료 조성물 및 약제학적 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a conditioned medium containing a high concentration of extracellular vesicles binding to lactoferrin obtained by culturing cells in a culture medium containing lactoferrin. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic composition and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the conditioned culture solution.
피부는 표피(Epidermis), 진피(Dermis), 피하지방층(Subcutis)의 세 층으로 구성되어 있으며, 피부 노화 및 재생과 깊은 관련이 있는 층은 진피층이다. 진피층에 존재하는 섬유아세포(Dermal fibroblast)는 진피층의 구조를 유지시키거나 탄성을 주는 세포외 기질(Extracellular matrix)의 주요 인자인 콜라겐(Collagen)이나 파이프로넥틴(Fibronectin), 엘라스틴(Elastin) 등을 합성하거나 이를 돕는 팀프(TIMP, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase)와 같은 단백질을 생성한다. 하지만 섬유아세포의 손상은 세포외 기질을 감소시키거나 교차결합(Cross link)을 분해하는 메탈로프로테아제(MMP, Matrix Metalloproteinase)를 생성한다. 진피층 내의 세포외 기질의 합성과 분해의 밸런스로 인해 피부의 강도와 탄력성이 유지되며, 내인적인 노화나 외부의 자극으로 인한 노화가 일어나는 것은 분해가 합성을 넘어서 진피층이 유지되지 못하면 일어나는 현상이다.The skin consists of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutis, and the layer deeply related to skin aging and regeneration is the dermis. Dermal fibroblasts present in the dermal layer maintain the structure of the dermal layer or produce collagen, Fibronectin, and elastin, which are major factors of the extracellular matrix that give elasticity. It synthesizes or produces proteins such as TIMP (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase) that help it. However, damage to fibroblasts reduces the extracellular matrix or generates a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) that breaks down cross links. The strength and elasticity of the skin is maintained due to the balance of the synthesis and decomposition of the extracellular matrix in the dermal layer, and aging due to intrinsic aging or external stimuli occurs when the dermal layer is not maintained beyond the synthesis.
세포외 소포(Extracellular vesicles)는 최근 각광받고 있다. 세포외 소포는 세포에서 유래하여 세포 밖으로 배출되는 30 ㎚ 내지 1 ㎛ 크기의 인지질 이중층(Phospholipid bilayer) 구조를 가진 베지클이다. 세포외 소포는 엑소좀(Exosome)과 마이크로베지클(Microvesicle)로 구성되어 있으며 이 두 가지는 만들어 지는 경로가 다르다. 엑소좀은 다소포성의 엔도솜(Multivescular endosome) 안에 다양한 크기로 생성된 후 세포 밖으로 방출되고, 마이크로베지클은 세포의 원형질 막(Plasma membrane)이 세포 바깥으로 직접 소포체를 형성하여 방출된다. 근래에 들어 세포외 소포체의 피부 재생이나 발모에 대한 효능이 꾸준히 제시되어 왔다 (J Extracell Vesicles. 2019 Jan 20;8(1):1565885, Sci Rep. 2017 Nov 14;7(1):15560).Extracellular vesicles have recently been in the spotlight. Extracellular vesicles are vesicles having a phospholipid bilayer structure with a size of 30 nm to 1 μm that originates from the cell and is discharged out of the cell. Extracellular vesicles are composed of exosomes and microvesicles, and the two pathways are different. Exosomes are generated in various sizes in multivesicular endosomes and then released out of the cell, and microvesicles are released as the plasma membrane of the cell forms an endoplasmic reticulum directly outside the cell. In recent years, the efficacy of the extracellular vesicles on skin regeneration or hair growth has been consistently presented (J Extracell Vesicles. 2019 Jan 20;8(1):1565885, Sci Rep. 2017 Nov 14;7(1):15560).
기존의 세포 배양액은 세포외 소포의 비율이 낮기 때문에 세포외 소포의 양산이나 비용적인 측면에서 문제가 있어왔다. 본 발명자들은 이전의 연구를 통하여 배양배지에 락토페린/칼슘 조성물을 첨가하여 세포를 배양하면 세포 내 칼슘 농도가 증가하고 이로 인해 배출되는 세포외 소포의 생성량이 현저하게 증가함을 확인하였다. 그러나 상기 방법에 의해 수득한 조건화 배양액의 효능 또는 효과에 대해서는 현재까지 구체적으로 확인된 바 없다.Since the conventional cell culture medium has a low ratio of extracellular vesicles, there has been a problem in terms of mass production or cost of extracellular vesicles. The present inventors confirmed that, through previous studies, when cells were cultured by adding a lactoferrin/calcium composition to the culture medium, the intracellular calcium concentration increased and the amount of extracellular vesicles excreted thereby increased significantly. However, the efficacy or effect of the conditioned culture medium obtained by the above method has not been specifically confirmed to date.
본 발명자들은 락토페린이 세포외 소포의 생성 신호를 증가시킨다는 이전의 발견에 더하여, 락토페린이 세포외 소포의 표면에 존재하는 GAPDH라는 락토페린의 수용체와 결합하여 세포외 소포와 함께 배출될 수 있을 것으로 가정하였다 [Biochem Cell Biol. 2012 Jun;90(3):329-38. doi: 10.1139/o11-058. Epub 2012 Jan 31.]. 또한 그로 인해 양전하의 락토페린이 세포외 소포의 전하 변화를 유도할 수 있는지에 대한 추가의 연구를 수행하였다.In addition to the previous finding that lactoferrin increases the production signal of extracellular vesicles, we hypothesized that lactoferrin could bind to a lactoferrin receptor called GAPDH present on the surface of extracellular vesicles and be released together with the extracellular vesicles. [Biochem Cell Biol. 2012 Jun;90(3):329-38. doi: 10.1139/o11-058. Epub 2012 Jan 31.]. In addition, further studies were conducted on whether positively charged lactoferrin could induce a charge change in extracellular vesicles.
본 발명자들은 락토페린이 배양액 내 세포외 소포의 개수를 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 세포외 소포의 음전하를 감소시킴으로써 세포외 소포의 피부세포와의 결합능을 향상시켜 세포외 소포의 피부재생 효과를 강화할 것이라 예상하였다.The present inventors predicted that lactoferrin would enhance the skin regeneration effect of extracellular vesicles by improving the binding capacity of extracellular vesicles with skin cells by increasing the number of extracellular vesicles in the culture medium as well as decreasing the negative charge of the extracellular vesicles.
이에, 본 발명은 세포외 소포의 함유율을 높이고 세포외 소포의 피부재생 효능을 강화하는 조건화 배양액을 제공하는 것을 그 기술적 과제로 한다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a conditioned culture medium that increases the content of extracellular vesicles and enhances the skin regeneration efficacy of extracellular vesicles.
본 발명자들은 상기와 같은 과제를 해결하기 위하여 연구하였으며, 그 결과 락토페린이 세포외 소포에 결합하여 세포외 소포의 강한 막 음전하를 감소시킴으로써 세포외 소포의 피부세포와의 결합능을 향상시켜 세포외 소포의 피부재생 효능을 강화하는 것을 발견하였다.The present inventors studied to solve the above problems, and as a result, lactoferrin binds to the extracellular vesicles and reduces the strong membrane negative charge of the extracellular vesicles, thereby improving the binding ability of the extracellular vesicles with the skin cells. It was found to enhance the skin regeneration effect.
나아가, 본 발명자들은 락토페린을 첨가한 배양배지에서 세포를 배양함으로써 수득되는 락토페린과 결합하고 있는 고농도의 세포외 소포를 함유하는 조건화 배양액이 피부재생 및 피부장벽을 강화할 수 있음을 발견하고 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다.Furthermore, the present inventors have found that a conditioned culture medium containing a high concentration of extracellular vesicles binding to lactoferrin obtained by culturing cells in a culture medium containing lactoferrin can enhance skin regeneration and skin barrier, and completed the present invention. did it
본 발명의 락토페린과 결합하고 있는 고농도의 세포외 소포를 함유하는 조건화 배양액은 배양액 내 세포외 소포의 개수가 월등히 많음으로 인해 피부재생 효능을 높이는 양적인 효과와 락토페린의 양전하가 세포외 소포의 음전하를 감소시켜 세포외 소포의 피부세포와의 결합능을 증대시켜 피부재생 효능을 높이는 질적인 효과가 상승적으로 작용하여 피부 재생 효능을 극대화하는 장점이 있다.The conditioned culture medium containing a high concentration of extracellular vesicles bound to lactoferrin of the present invention has a positive effect of increasing skin regeneration efficacy due to the significantly higher number of extracellular vesicles in the culture medium, and the positive charge of lactoferrin reduces the negative charge of extracellular vesicles This has the advantage of maximizing the skin regeneration effect by increasing the binding ability of the extracellular vesicles with the skin cells, thereby increasing the skin regeneration effect synergistically.
또한 본 발명의 락토페린과 결합하고 있는 고농도의 세포외 소포를 함유하는 조건화 배양액은 피부장벽 및 보습 역할을 담당하는 인자를 증가시켜 망가진 피부장벽을 회복시키는 효과를 나타낸다.In addition, the conditioned culture medium containing a high concentration of extracellular vesicles bound to lactoferrin of the present invention increases the factors responsible for the skin barrier and moisturizing role, thereby showing the effect of restoring the damaged skin barrier.
따라서 본 발명의 조건화 배양액은 피부재생 강화용 및 피부장벽 강화용 화장품 및 의약품의 원료 물질로 활용될 수 있다.Therefore, the conditioned culture medium of the present invention can be used as a raw material for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals for skin regeneration strengthening and skin barrier strengthening.

As will be confirmed in Examples to be described later, extracellular vesicles in a culture medium obtained by culturing cells in a culture medium to which lactoferrin is added have a lactoferrin receptor, and thus have a possibility of binding lactoferrin to extracellular vesicles. This binding reduces the negative charge of the extracellular vesicle and induces a phenomenon that maximizes the binding between the extracellular vesicle and the cell.

These examples are only for illustrating the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples.
실시예 1: 지방 유래 줄기세포 배양액 유래 세포외 소포 확인Example 1: Confirmation of extracellular vesicles derived from adipose-derived stem cell culture medium
실험을 진행하기 위하여 먼저 배양액을 수득하였으며 방법은 하기와 같다.In order to proceed with the experiment, a culture medium was first obtained, and the method is as follows.
넓이가 175 ㎠인 세포배양접시(T175 flask)에 사람의 지방유래 중간엽 줄기세포(Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell)를 72시간 동안 배양하였다. 72시간 뒤, 인산 완충 용액으로 세척하고 무첨가배지(Alpha-Minimum Essential Medium, alpha-MEM)를 넣어 24시간 동안 배양하였다. 그 후, 혈청대체제가 포함된 배지에 칼슘(CaCl2, sigma, USA)과 락토페린(Lactoferrin, aspira scientific, USA)을 혼합하여 세포에 처리하였다. 이와 함께 혈청대체제만 들어있는 군도 함께 진행하였다. 48시간 뒤 배양액을 수거하여 0.22-㎛ 필터로 거른 후, 최종 배양액을 수득하였다. 락토페린/칼슘 조성물/혈청대체제로 세포 배양 후 수득한 배양액을 NFL-CM(Nutrient Full media with Lactoferrin-Conditioned medium)로 표현하였고 혈청대체제 만으로 세포 배양 후 수득한 배양액을 NF-CM(Nutrient Full media-Conditioned medium)이라 표현하였다.Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured for 72 hours in a 175 cm 2 cell culture dish (T175 flask). After 72 hours, it was washed with a phosphate buffer solution, and an additive-free medium (Alpha-Minimum Essential Medium, alpha-MEM) was added and incubated for 24 hours. Thereafter, calcium (CaCl 2 , sigma, USA) and lactoferrin (Lactoferrin, aspira scientific, USA) were mixed in a medium containing serum replacement and the cells were treated. In addition, the group containing only serum replacement was also conducted. After 48 hours, the culture solution was collected and filtered through a 0.22-μm filter to obtain a final culture solution. The culture medium obtained after cell culture with lactoferrin/calcium composition/serum substitute was expressed as Nutrient Full media with Lactoferrin-Conditioned medium (NFL-CM), and the culture medium obtained after cell culture with only serum substitute was NF-CM (Nutrient Full media-Conditioned medium). medium) was expressed.
배양액 내의 세포외 소포를 분리하기 위하여 크기 기반 컬럼(Size Exclusion Columns, IZONscience, New Zealand)을 이용하였다. 크기 기반 컬럼은 35 - 400 ㎚ 이상의 크기의 입자를 분리해내고, 배양액의 엑소좀과 연관되지 않은 작은 단백질들은 제거한다. NF-CM에서 분리한 세포외 소포는 NF-EVs, NFL-CM에서 분리한 세포외 소포는 NFL-EVs라 표현하였다. NF-EVs와 NFL-EVs내의 세포외 소포의 개수와 크기를 나노입자추적분석기(Nanoparticle tracking analysis, NTA, Nanosight NS300, Malvern, UK)로 측정하여 개수는 세포 수 대비하여 도 1에 나타내었고, 크기의 그래프는 도 2에 나타내었다.In order to separate the extracellular vesicles in the culture medium, a size-based column (Size Exclusion Columns, IZONscience, New Zealand) was used. The size-based column separates particles with a size of 35 - 400 nm or more, and removes small proteins not associated with exosomes in the culture medium. Extracellular vesicles isolated from NF-CM were expressed as NF-EVs, and extracellular vesicles isolated from NFL-CM were expressed as NFL-EVs. The number and size of extracellular vesicles in NF-EVs and NFL-EVs were measured with a nanoparticle tracking analysis (Nanoparticle tracking analysis, NTA, Nanosight NS300, Malvern, UK). A graph of is shown in FIG. 2 .
도 1에 나타난 바와 같이, 락토페린/칼슘 조성물을 배양배지에 함께 첨가하면 배양액 내 세포외 소포가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 세포당 세포외 소포의 개수는 NF-CM을 100%로 하여 나타냈고, NF-CM 대비 NFL-CM은 약 4배 이상의 세포외 소포를 함유하고 있다는 것을 확인하였다 (Unparied t-test, ***; p < 0.0001). 한편, 세포외 소포의 크기에는 큰 변화가 없음을 확인하였다(도 2).As shown in FIG. 1 , when the lactoferrin/calcium composition was added to the culture medium, it was confirmed that the extracellular vesicles in the culture medium increased. The number of extracellular vesicles per cell was expressed as 100% of NF-CM, and it was confirmed that NFL-CM contained about 4 times more extracellular vesicles compared to NF-CM (Unparried t-test, *** ; p < 0.0001). On the other hand, it was confirmed that there was no significant change in the size of the extracellular vesicles (FIG. 2).
분리한 세포외 소포의 모양 관찰을 위하여 음성 염색을 진행하였다. 분리한 세포외 소포를 엑소좀 염색 키트(Exosome-TEM-easy kit, 101bio, USA) 내의 세척 용액으로 세척한다. 후에 키트 내의 우라닐 아세테이트(Uranyl acetate)로 10분간 음성 염색을 한 후 상온에서 건조하고 투과 전자 현미경(Transmission Electron Microscope, TEM, Talos L120c, FEI, Czech)으로 120kV로 관찰하였다.Negative staining was performed to observe the shape of the isolated extracellular vesicles. The separated extracellular vesicles are washed with a washing solution in the exosome staining kit (Exosome-TEM-easy kit, 101bio, USA). Thereafter, negative staining was performed with uranyl acetate in the kit for 10 minutes, dried at room temperature, and observed at 120 kV with a transmission electron microscope (Transmission Electron Microscope, TEM, Talos L120c, FEI, Czech).
도 3에 나타난 바와 같이, NF-EVs와 NFL-EVs 모두 지질 이중층의 모양으로 둘러 쌓인 모습을 관찰할 수 있었고, 통상적으로 확인할 수 있는 세포외 소포의 모양인 컵모양을 가지고 있는 것을 관찰하였다.As shown in FIG. 3, both NF-EVs and NFL-EVs could be observed to be surrounded by the shape of a lipid bilayer, and it was observed that they had a cup shape, which is the shape of a conventional extracellular vesicle.
결론적으로, 락토페린/칼슘 조성물은 배양액 내의 세포외 소포의 개수를 증가시키지만 세포외 소포의 크기나 모양에 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.In conclusion, it can be confirmed that the lactoferrin/calcium composition increases the number of extracellular vesicles in the culture medium, but does not affect the size or shape of the extracellular vesicles.
실시예 2: 락토페린/칼슘 조성물에 의해 생성된 세포외 소포에 락토페린의 결합에 의한 피부세포와의 결합능 증가 확인Example 2: Confirmation of increased binding ability with skin cells by binding of lactoferrin to extracellular vesicles produced by the lactoferrin/calcium composition
배양배지에 넣어준 락토페린이 배양액 내에 증가한 세포외 소포와 결합하여 피부세포와의 결합능을 증가시킬 것이라 생각하여 실험을 진행하였다.The experiment was carried out thinking that the lactoferrin added to the culture medium would bind to the increased extracellular vesicles in the culture medium and increase the binding ability with skin cells.
실시예 1과 같이 배양액에서 분리한 세포외 소포를 락토페린-골드 항체(Lactoferrin-gold antibody)와 반응하여 투과 전자 현미경으로 관찰하였다.As in Example 1, extracellular vesicles isolated from the culture medium were reacted with lactoferrin-gold antibody and observed with a transmission electron microscope.
구체적으로, 세포외 소포를 고정 (4% 파라포름알데하이드), 블로킹 (0.4% 소혈청알부민), 락토페린 항체 반응, 마지막으로 우라닐 아세테이트로 음성 염색을 진행하였다. 상온에서 건조한 후 투과 전자 현미경으로 120kV로 관찰하여 도 4에 나타냈다. 락토페린/칼슘 조성물/혈청대체제로 세포 배양 후 수득한 배양액에서 분리한 세포외 소포를 NFL-EVs로 표현하였고, 혈청대체제로 세포 배양 후 수득한 배양액에서 분리한 세포외 소포를 NF-EVs이라 표현하였다.Specifically, extracellular vesicles were fixed (4% paraformaldehyde), blocked (0.4% bovine serum albumin), lactoferrin antibody reaction, and finally negative staining was performed with uranyl acetate. After drying at room temperature, it was observed with a transmission electron microscope at 120 kV, and is shown in FIG. 4 . Extracellular vesicles isolated from the culture medium obtained after cell culture with lactoferrin/calcium composition/serum substitute were expressed as NFL-EVs, and extracellular vesicles isolated from the culture medium obtained after cell culture with serum replacement were expressed as NF-EVs. .
NF-EVs의 경우 락토페린-골드 입자가 세포외 소포와 결합하지 못함이 관찰되는 반면, NFL-EVs는 락토페린-골드 입자가 세포외 소포에 붙어 있는 것이 관찰되었다.In the case of NF-EVs, it was observed that the lactoferrin-gold particles did not bind to the extracellular vesicles, whereas in the NFL-EVs, it was observed that the lactoferrin-gold particles were attached to the extracellular vesicles.
세포외 소포와 결합하고 있는 락토페린의 양을 효소 결합 면역 침강 분석법 (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA)을 이용하여 확인하였으며 방법을 아래와 같다.The amount of lactoferrin bound to the extracellular vesicles was confirmed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the method is as follows.
실시예 1과 같이 크기 기반 컬럼으로 배양액 내의 세포외 소포와 결합하지 않은 락토페린 및 여러 단백질들을 제거하였고, 분리한 세포외 소포의 개수를 나노입자추적분석(Nanoparticle tracking analysis, NTA)의 방법으로 측정하였다. 측정한 수를 바탕으로 2×109개의 NF-EVs와 NFL-EVs에 결합되어 있는 락토페린의 양을 락토페린 엘라이자 키트(Lactoferrin ELISA kit, NOVUS, USA)를 이용하여 측정하였다.As in Example 1, lactoferrin and various proteins not bound to extracellular vesicles in the culture medium were removed with a size-based column, and the number of separated extracellular vesicles was measured by the method of nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). . Based on the measured number, the amount of lactoferrin bound to 2×10 9 NF-EVs and NFL-EVs was measured using a Lactoferrin ELISA kit (NOVUS, USA).
구체적으로 락토페린 엘라이자 키트의 정량물질과 세포외 소포를 코팅된 96웰 플레이트(96well plate)에 넣은 후 2시간 동안 37℃에서 반응하였다. 그 후 첫번째 항체(Detection antibody)부착, 두번째 항체(HRP antibody)부착하였고 각각의 과정 사이마다 인산 완충 용액으로 3번 이상 세척하였다. 최종적으로 기질(Substrate)과 스톱 버퍼(Stop buffer)를 넣어 엘라이자 리더기(ELISA reader, Molecular devices, USA)로 450 ㎚에서 흡광도를 측정하였고 정량값을 도 5에 나타냈다.Specifically, the quantitative substance of the lactoferrin ELISA kit and the extracellular vesicles were put into a 96-well plate coated thereto, and then reacted at 37° C. for 2 hours. After that, the first antibody (Detection antibody) was attached and the second antibody (HRP antibody) was attached, and washing was performed at least 3 times with a phosphate buffer solution between each process. Finally, a substrate and a stop buffer were put, and absorbance was measured at 450 nm with an ELISA reader (Molecular devices, USA), and the quantitative value is shown in FIG. 5 .
2×109개의 NFL-EVs와 결합한 락토페린의 양은 135 ng/㎖인 반면, 2×109개의 NF-EVs와 결합한 락토페린의 양은 4.5 ng/㎖로 확인되었다. NFL-EVs와 결합하고 있는 락토페린은 NF-EVs와 결합하고 있는 락토페린의 30배임을 알 수 있었고 기존의 예상한 바와 같이 NFL-CM에 함유되어 있는 세포외 소포는 락토페린과 결합하고 있어 세포외 소포의 기능 강화를 유도할 것으로 예상한다 (unpaired T-test, ***;p < 0.0001).The amount of lactoferrin bound to 2×10 9 NFL-EVs was 135 ng/ml, while the amount of lactoferrin bound to 2×10 9 NF-EVs was 4.5 ng/ml. It was found that lactoferrin bound to NFL-EVs was 30 times that of lactoferrin bound to NF-EVs. expected to induce functional enhancement (unpaired T-test, ***;p < 0.0001).
크기 기반 컬럼으로 분리한 세포외 소포의 표면 전하를 측정하기 위하여 제타포텐셜&입도분석기(Zeta potential & particle size analysis)을 이용하였고 그 결과를 도 6에 나타냈다.In order to measure the surface charge of extracellular vesicles separated by a size-based column, Zeta potential & particle size analysis was used, and the results are shown in FIG. 6 .
도 6에서 나타난 바와 같이, NF-EVs보다 락토페린을 포함한 배양배지에서 배양한 NFL-EVs의 음전하가 유의미하게 약해졌다. NF-EVs는 -60 ~ 64 ㎷의 전하를 확인하였지만 NFL-EVs의 경우 -20 ~ 30 ㎷의 전하를 확인하여 락토페린을 함께 배양하면 세포외 소포가 양성을 띄는 락토페린과 결합하여 음전하가 떨어질 것을 예상한 결과와 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다 (unpaired T-test, **;p < 0.001).As shown in FIG. 6 , the negative charge of NFL-EVs cultured in a culture medium containing lactoferrin was significantly weaker than that of NF-EVs. NF-EVs confirmed a charge of -60 ~ 64 mV, but in the case of NFL-EVs, a charge of -20 ~ 30 mV was confirmed, so that when lactoferrin was incubated with lactoferrin, extracellular vesicles were combined with positive lactoferrin to reduce the negative charge. It was found to be consistent with one result (unpaired T-test, **;p < 0.001).
세포외 소포의 음전하의 감소는 NFL-EVs가 세포막과 결합 증가를 보여줄 것으로 예상하고 실험을 진행하였다. NFL-EVs와 NF-EVs의 피부 섬유아세포(Human dermal fibroblasts)와의 결합 능의 차이를 형광 활성화 세포 분리(Fluorescence activated cell sorting, FACS, ACEA, USA)로 확인하였다.The decrease in the negative charge of the extracellular vesicles was expected to show an increase in the binding of NFL-EVs to the cell membrane, and the experiment was carried out. The difference in binding ability between NFL-EVs and NF-EVs with human dermal fibroblasts was confirmed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS, ACEA, USA).
구체적으로, 친유성 염색약(Lipophilic dye, DiO, Invitrogen, USA)으로 세포외 소포를 염색한 후 실시예 1과 같이 크기 기반 컬럼으로 분리하였다. 염색한 세포외 소포를 군당 5×106개씩 섬유아세포에 3시간 동안 처리하고, 인산 완충 용액으로 세척하고 1×트립신-이디티에이(0.05% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA, welgene, Korea) 용액으로 세포를 배양 접시에서 분리하였다. 4% 파라포름알데하이드로 10분간 세포를 고정한 후 인산 완충 용액으로 세포를 세척 및 희석하였고 세포외 소포와 결합하여 녹색을 띄는 섬유아세포를 형광 활성화 세포 분리로 확인하였다.Specifically, after staining the extracellular vesicles with a lipophilic dye (Lipophilic dye, DiO, Invitrogen, USA), they were separated by a size-based column as in Example 1. The stained extracellular vesicles were treated with 5×10 6 fibroblasts per group for 3 hours, washed with phosphate buffer solution, and cells were washed with 1×trypsin-EDTA (0.05% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA, welgene, Korea) solution. It was isolated from the culture dish. After fixing the cells with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, the cells were washed and diluted with a phosphate buffer solution, and the green fibroblasts binding to the extracellular vesicles were confirmed by fluorescence-activated cell isolation.
도 7에 나타난 바와 같이, NFL-EVs의 섬유아세포와 결합력은 NF-EVs보다 증가함을 확인하였다. NF-EVs와 결합한 세포는 전체 세포의 46.72%인 반면, NFL-EVs와 결합한 섬유아세포는 전체 세포의 82.02%였다. 따라서 NFL-EVs가 약 1.8배 더 많은 섬유아세포와 결합함을 알 수 있었다.As shown in Figure 7, it was confirmed that the binding force of NFL-EVs with fibroblasts was increased than that of NF-EVs. Cells bound to NF-EVs accounted for 46.72% of the total cells, whereas fibroblasts bound to NFL-EVs accounted for 82.02% of the total cells. Therefore, it can be seen that NFL-EVs bind to about 1.8 times more fibroblasts.
결론적으로 배양배지에 넣어준 락토페린은 배양액 내 증가한 세포외 소포와 결합하고, 이 결합으로 세포외 소포의 음전하가 감소하여 세포와의 결합 능력이 증가한다는 것을 확인하였다.In conclusion, it was confirmed that the lactoferrin added to the culture medium binds to the increased extracellular vesicles in the culture medium, and this binding reduces the negative charge of the extracellular vesicles and increases the binding ability with the cells.
실시예 3: 락토페린/칼슘 조성물 배양액에 의한 피부세포 재생능 증가 확인Example 3: Confirmation of increase in skin cell regeneration ability by lactoferrin/calcium composition culture medium
피부의 진피층에 존재하는 섬유아세포는 진피층의 세포외 기질의 단백질, 즉 콜라겐과 파이프로넥틴, 엘라스틴 등의 주요 원천이다. 세포외 기질은 피부 구조와 탄력을 유지하는데 주요한 역할을 하며, 따라서 섬유아세포의 증식과 세포외 기질 단백질의 증가는 피부 노화를 막는데 중요한 역할을 한다(Mol Cell Biochem. 2019 Oct 10).Fibroblasts present in the dermal layer of the skin are a major source of proteins of the extracellular matrix of the dermal layer, such as collagen, piperonectin, and elastin. The extracellular matrix plays a major role in maintaining skin structure and elasticity, and thus the proliferation of fibroblasts and the increase of extracellular matrix proteins play an important role in preventing skin aging (Mol Cell Biochem. 2019 Oct 10).
실시예 1에서 제작한 배양액이 섬유아세포의 증식에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 MTT 어세이법을 진행하였다. 락토페린/칼슘 조성물이 들어있는 혈청대체제 배양액을 NFL-CM(Nutrient Full media with Lactoferrin-Conditioned medium)로 표현하였고 혈청대체제만 들어있는 배양액을 NF-CM(Nutrient Full media-Conditioned medium)이라 표현하였다.In order to confirm the effect of the culture medium prepared in Example 1 on the proliferation of fibroblasts, the MTT assay method was performed. The serum replacement culture medium containing the lactoferrin/calcium composition was expressed as Nutrient Full media with Lactoferrin-Conditioned medium (NFL-CM), and the culture medium containing only the serum replacement medium was expressed as NF-CM (Nutrient Full media-Conditioned medium).
보다 구체적으로, 48개의 구멍이 있는 평판 배양접시(48-well plate)에 2 × 104 cells/㎖의 섬유아세포 현탁액 250 ㎕를 넣고 24시간 동안 배양하였다. 배지(Fibroblast Growth Media, FGM, Lonza, USA)를 제거한 후, NF-CM과 NFL-CM 250 ㎕를 처리하였고, 음성 대조군으로 무첨가배지(SF)를 사용하였다. 접종 후, 37℃에서 48시간 동안 배양 후 각 배지를 제거하고 인산 완충 용액으로 3회 반복하여 세척하였다. MTT 용액(0.5 ㎎/㎖)을 2시간동안 반응시키고 혼합한 뒤, 이소프로필 알코올(Isopropyl alcohol) 용액에서 30분 교반하여 570 ㎚에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. 결과값은 SF을 100%로 두었을 때 상대값을 그래프로 나타냈다. 또한 세포 상태는 현미경(Inverted microscope, Olympus corporation, Japan)으로 관찰하여 함께 도 8에 나타냈다.More specifically, 250 μl of a fibroblast suspension of 2 × 10 4 cells/ml was placed in a 48-well plate with 48 holes and cultured for 24 hours. After removing the medium (Fibroblast Growth Media, FGM, Lonza, USA), 250 μl of NF-CM and NFL-CM were treated, and an additive-free medium (SF) was used as a negative control. After inoculation, each medium was removed after incubation at 37° C. for 48 hours and washed three times with a phosphate buffer solution. The MTT solution (0.5 mg/ml) was reacted for 2 hours and mixed, and then the absorbance was measured at 570 nm by stirring in an isopropyl alcohol solution for 30 minutes. Result values are graphed with relative values when SF is set to 100%. In addition, the cell state was observed under a microscope (inverted microscope, Olympus corporation, Japan) and shown in FIG. 8 together.
배양배지에 락토페린을 넣고 배양 후 얻은 배양액은 더 많은 섬유아세포의 증식을 유도한다는 것을 확인하였다. 도 8에 나타난 바와 같이, NF-CM을 처리하였을 때 137%의 증식율을 보여준 반면, NFL-CM을 처리하였을 경우 174%의 세포 증식율을 확인할 수 있었다. 상기 결과의 차이는 유의미함을 확인하였다(Unparied T-test, ***;p < 0.0001).It was confirmed that the culture medium obtained after lactoferrin was added to the culture medium induces more fibroblast proliferation. As shown in FIG. 8 , when treated with NF-CM, a proliferation rate of 137% was shown, whereas when treated with NFL-CM, a cell proliferation rate of 174% could be confirmed. It was confirmed that the difference between the results was significant (Unparried T-test, ***;p < 0.0001).
NFL-CM에 의해 섬유아세포가 분비하는 기질의 주요 인자인 콜라겐과 엘라스틴, 파이브로넥틴의 변화를 역전사중합효소연쇄반응(Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, RT-PCR)을 통해 관찰하였다.Changes in collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, which are major factors of matrix secreted by fibroblasts by NFL-CM, were observed through reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
6개의 구멍이 있는 평판 배양접시(6-well plate)에 3 × 104 cells/㎖의 섬유아세포 현탁액 2 ㎖을 넣고 24시간 동안 배양하였다. 24시간 뒤 NF-CM, NFL-CM, 그리고 양성대조군으로 아스코르빅 에시드(L-Ascorbic acid, Sigma, USA)를 최종 농도가 100 uM가 되도록 희석하여 1 ㎖씩 처리하였다. 48시간 후 섬유아세포를 인산 완충 용액으로 세척하고 1×트립신-이디티에이 용액으로 세포를 디쉬에서 분리하였다. 그 후 알엔에이 추출 키트(TAKARA MiniBEST universal RNA extraction kit, TAKARA, Japan)를 이용하여 세포 내 알엔에이(RNA)를 분리하였다. 이후 동량의 알엔에이로 cDNA(Complementary DNA)를 cDNA 합성 키트(PrimeScript 1st strand cDNA synthesis kit, TAKARA, Japan)로 합성하였다. 이어서 합성한 cDNA를 역전사중합효소연쇄반응으로 프로콜라겐 1타입(Pro-collagen type1), 엘라스틴(Elastin), 파이브로넥틴(Fibronectin)을 정량적으로 분석하였다.In a 6-well plate with 6 holes, 2 ml of a suspension of 3 × 10 4 cells/ml fibroblasts was placed and cultured for 24 hours. After 24 hours, NF-CM, NFL-CM, and ascorbic acid (L-Ascorbic acid, Sigma, USA) as a positive control were diluted to a final concentration of 100 uM and treated with 1 ml each. After 48 hours, the fibroblasts were washed with a phosphate buffer solution, and the cells were separated from the dish with 1×trypsin-EDTA solution. Thereafter, intracellular RNA was isolated using an RNA extraction kit (TAKARA MiniBEST universal RNA extraction kit, TAKARA, Japan). It was then synthesized with this cDNA (Complementary DNA), cDNA Synthesis Kit (PrimeScript 1 st strand cDNA synthesis kit , TAKARA, Japan) in the same amount of alen. Then, the synthesized cDNA was quantitatively analyzed for pro-collagen type 1, elastin, and fibronectin by reverse transcriptase chain reaction.
그 결과, 도 9에 나타난 바와 같이, NF-CM을 처리한 섬유아세포 대비 NFL-CM을 처리한 섬유아세포에서 기질의 증가가 유의미함을 확인하였다. NF-CM에서 음성대조군 대비 프로콜라겐 1타입, 엘라스틴, 파이브로넥틴이 각각 136%, 187%, 149%의 유전자 레벨이 증가하였고, NFL-CM에서 각각 174%, 244%, 187%의 유전자 레벨이 증가하였다. NFL-CM의 세가지 유전자의 결과값은 NF-CM에서 증가한 결과값과 유의미한 차이를 가지고 증가함을 확인하였다 (Unpaired T-test, ****; p < 0.0001).As a result, as shown in FIG. 9 , it was confirmed that the increase in matrix was significant in fibroblasts treated with NFL-CM compared to fibroblasts treated with NF-CM. In NF-CM, the gene levels of procollagen type 1, elastin, and fibronectin were increased by 136%, 187%, and 149%, respectively, compared to the negative control group in NF-CM, and the gene levels in NFL-CM were 174%, 244%, and 187%, respectively. this increased. It was confirmed that the result value of the three genes of NFL-CM increased with a significant difference from the result value increased in NF-CM (Unpaired T-test, ****; p < 0.0001).
실시예 4: NFL-CM 배양액에 의한 피부세포 증식율 증가가 배양액 내 세포외 소포의 양적 질적 변화 때문임을 확인Example 4: Confirmation that the increase in skin cell proliferation rate by the NFL-CM culture is due to quantitative and qualitative changes in extracellular vesicles in the culture medium
실시예 3에서 락토페린/칼슘 조성물을 통해 생성된 배양액에 의한 섬유아세포의 증식율의 증가가 배양액 내에 존재하는 세포외 소포에 의한 것임을 증명하는 실험을 준비하였다.In Example 3, an experiment was prepared to prove that the increase in the proliferation rate of fibroblasts by the culture medium produced through the lactoferrin/calcium composition is due to the extracellular vesicles present in the culture medium.
NFL-CM의 섬유아세포 증식율 증가 효과가 배양액 내 증가한 세포외 소포에 의한 것인지 확인하기 위하여 배양액 내 세포외 소포를 제거한 후 제거 전과 비교하는 실험을 진행하였다. 배양액 내 세포외 소포를 제거하는 방법은 하기와 같다.In order to confirm whether the effect of increasing the fibroblast proliferation rate of NFL-CM is due to the increased extracellular vesicles in the culture medium, an experiment was performed after removing the extracellular vesicles in the culture medium and comparing the results with before removal. The method of removing extracellular vesicles in the culture medium is as follows.
배양액 농축에 일반적으로 사용하는 300,000 MWCO (Molecular Weight Cut-Off)의 필트레이션 스핀 컬럼(Filtration spin column)(Vivaspin20, Sartorius, UK)을 이용하였으며 컬럼에 배양액을 넣은 후 원심분리를 통해 배양액을 필터로 거른다. 걸러진 후 나온 배양액은 세포외 소포가 제거된 배양액으로 사용하였으며 도 10에서 NFL-CM에서 세포외 소포를 제거한 배양액을 "EVs-depleted NFL-CM"으로, NF-CM에서 세포외 소포를 제거한 배양액을 "EVs-depleted NF-CM"으로 각각 표현하였다.A filtration spin column (Vivaspin20, Sartorius, UK) of 300,000 MWCO (Molecular Weight Cut-Off), which is generally used for concentrating the culture medium, was used. After putting the culture solution in the column, the culture solution was filtered through centrifugation. filter The filtered culture solution was used as a culture solution from which extracellular vesicles were removed, and the culture solution from which extracellular vesicles were removed from NFL-CM in FIG. 10 was called “EVs-depleted NFL-CM”, and the culture solution from which extracellular vesicles had been removed from NF-CM was used. Each was expressed as "EVs-depleted NF-CM".
먼저 상기의 방법대로 세포외 소포를 제거 후 동량으로 NF-CM, EVs-depleted NF-CM, NFL-CM, EVs-depleted NFL-CM으로 이틀 동안 섬유아세포에 처리 후 증식 차이를 확인하기 위하여 MTT 어세이를 진행하였다. 방법은 실시예 3의 도 8과 같다.First, after removing extracellular vesicles as described above, fibroblasts were treated with the same amount of NF-CM, EVs-depleted NF-CM, NFL-CM, and EVs-depleted NFL-CM for two days. sey proceeded. The method is the same as in FIG. 8 of Example 3.
도 10에 나타난 바와 같이, NF-CM과 EVs-depleted NF-CM는 유의미한 세포증식율의 차이를 보이지 않은 반면, NFL-CM에서 세포외 소포를 제거한 EVs-depleted NFL-CM의 경우 섬유아세포의 증식율이 유의미하게 감소하였다 (Unpaired T-test, N.S; p > 0.05, ***; p < 0.0001). 결과적으로 NFL-CM가 NF-CM에 비해 섬유아세포 증식의 큰 차이를 보인 이유는 NFL-CM의 NFL-EVs가 주요하게 작용하였음을 증명하였다.As shown in Figure 10, NF-CM and EVs-depleted NF-CM did not show a significant difference in cell proliferation rate, whereas in the case of EVs-depleted NFL-CM from which extracellular vesicles were removed from NFL-CM, the proliferation rate of fibroblasts was decreased significantly (Unpaired T-test, NS; p > 0.05, ***; p < 0.0001). As a result, the reason why NFL-CM showed a large difference in fibroblast proliferation compared to NF-CM was demonstrated that NFL-EVs of NFL-CM acted as a major factor.
NFL-EVs에 의한 섬유아세포의 증식율 증가가 세포외 소포의 개수 변화뿐 만 아니라 세포외 소포의 표면 전하의 변화에 의함임을 확인하기 위한 실험을 준비하였다. 동일한 개수(2×108)의 NF-EVs와 NFL-EVs를 피부 섬유아세포에 처리하였다. 또한 4×108개의 NFL-EVs를 처리 후 개수 및 표면전하의 변화에 의한 섬유아세포 증식차이를 MTT 어세이를 통해 분석하였다. 실험은 실시예 1에서와 같이 크기 기반 컬럼으로 NF-CM과 NFL-CM에서 각각 세포외 소포를 분리한 후, 나노 입자추적분석기를 이용하여 각각의 세포외 소포 개수를 측정하였다. 그 후 실시예 3과 같이 섬유아세포의 증식차이를 비교하였고 그 결과를 도 11에 나타내었다.An experiment was prepared to confirm that the increase in the proliferation rate of fibroblasts by NFL-EVs is caused by a change in the number of extracellular vesicles as well as a change in the surface charge of the extracellular vesicles. The same number (2×10 8 ) of NF-EVs and NFL-EVs were treated in skin fibroblasts. In addition, after treatment with 4×10 8 NFL-EVs, differences in fibroblast proliferation due to changes in the number and surface charge were analyzed through MTT assay. As in Example 1, after separating extracellular vesicles from NF-CM and NFL-CM using a size-based column, the number of each extracellular vesicle was measured using a nanoparticle tracking analyzer. Thereafter, as in Example 3, the difference in proliferation of fibroblasts was compared, and the results are shown in FIG. 11 .
도 11에 나타난 바와 같이, 2×108개의 NF-EVs를 처리한 경우 104.5%의 증가를 보인 반면 같은 수의 NFL-EVs를 처리하였을 경우 109%의 세포 증가를 확인할 수 있었다 (Unpaired T-test, *: p < 0.01). 또한 4×108의 NFL-EVs는 112%의 세포 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 2×108 NFL-EVs와 유의미한 차이를 보였다 (Unpaired T-test, **: p < 0.001).As shown in FIG. 11 , when treated with 2×10 8 NF-EVs, an increase of 104.5% was observed, whereas when treated with the same number of NFL-EVs, a cell increase of 109% was confirmed (Unpaired T-test) , *: p < 0.01). In addition, 4×10 8 NFL-EVs could confirm a 112% cell increase. This is 2×10 8 There was a significant difference with NFL-EVs (Unpaired T-test, **: p < 0.001).
상기 결과를 토대로, NFL-EVs가 보여주는 섬유아세포의 뛰어난 증식율은 NFL-EVs의 증가한 개수에 의한 것뿐만 아니라 실시예 2에서 확인한 결과와 같이 함께 결합하고 있는 락토페린과의 시너지 효과라는 것을 간접적으로 나타낸다.Based on the above results, it is indirectly indicated that the excellent proliferation rate of fibroblasts shown by NFL-EVs is not only due to the increased number of NFL-EVs, but also a synergistic effect with lactoferrin binding together as shown in Example 2.
실시예 5: 피부 조직 모델에서 락토페린/칼슘 조성물 배양액 내 세포외 소포의 투과성 증가로 인한 재생능 증가 확인Example 5: Confirmation of increased regenerative capacity due to increased permeability of extracellular vesicles in lactoferrin/calcium composition culture medium in skin tissue model
섬유아세포는 진피층의 콜라겐이나 엘라스틴, 파이브로넥틴과 같은 세포외 기질을 합성하는 반면, 세포가 손상을 입으면 세포외 기질의 주요 인자인 콜라겐을 분해하는 메탈로프로테이즈를 분비하여 세포외 기질의 구조를 무너뜨리며, 메탈로프로테이즈는 섬유아세포가 만들어내는 억제제인 팀프에 의해 조절받는다. 이와 관련하여 섬유아세포가 만들어 내는 다양한 요소의 밸런스를 통해 피부 구조와 탄력이 유지되고 밸런스가 무너지게 되면 피부 노화가 유도되게 된다(Exp Cell Res. 2001 Dec 10;271(2):249-62).While fibroblasts synthesize extracellular matrix such as collagen, elastin, and fibronectin in the dermal layer, when cells are damaged, they secrete metalloprotase that breaks down collagen, a major factor in the extracellular matrix, to form the extracellular matrix. metalloproteinase is regulated by thymp, an inhibitor produced by fibroblasts. In this regard, skin structure and elasticity are maintained through the balance of various elements created by fibroblasts, and when the balance is broken, skin aging is induced (Exp Cell Res. 2001 Dec 10;271(2):249-62) .
세포외 소포는 피부의 투과성이 높다고 잘 알려져 있으며(BBRC, 2017, Nov 18;493(2):1102-1108), 나아가 실시예 2에서 확인된 바와 같이 본 발명의 조건화 배양액 내 세포외 소포는 그 개수가 많고 음전하의 감소로 피부 세포와의 결합능이 높기 때문에 상기 조건화 배양액은 피부 투과 능력과 재생 효과가 높을 것으로 예상하여 실험을 준비하였다.It is well known that extracellular vesicles are highly permeable to the skin (BBRC, 2017, Nov 18; 493(2): 1102-1108), and furthermore, as confirmed in Example 2, extracellular vesicles in the conditioned culture medium of the present invention are Since the number of cells is large and the ability to bind to skin cells is high due to a decrease in negative charge, the conditioned culture medium was prepared for an experiment in anticipation of high skin penetration ability and regenerative effect.
친유성 염색약으로 세포외 소포를 염색한 후 실시예 1과 같이 크기 기반 컬럼으로 분리하였다. 3차원 피부 모델(KeraSkin™-FT, Biosolution, Korea)을 어세이 미디아(assay-media)가 들어 있는 6웰 플레이트에 옮긴 후 상기의 염색한 세포외 소포를 각각 100 ㎕씩 처리했다. 6시간 후, 조직을 고정 (4% formaldehyde), 세척, 탈수(Dehydration), 투명(Clearing), 침투(Infiltration), 포매(Embedding) 과정을 거쳐 파라핀 블록(Paraffin block)을 만들었다. 상기의 파라핀 블록을 미세절편기(Automated microtome, Leica, Germany)로 박절하였다.After staining the extracellular vesicles with a lipophilic dye, they were separated by a size-based column as in Example 1. After transferring a three-dimensional skin model (KeraSkin™-FT, Biosolution, Korea) to a 6-well plate containing assay-media, 100 μl of each of the stained extracellular vesicles was treated. After 6 hours, the tissue was fixed (4% formaldehyde), washed, dehydration, clearing, infiltration, and embedding to make a paraffin block. The paraffin block was sectioned with a microtome (Automated microtome, Leica, Germany).
상기 샘플은 후에 두가지 방식으로 진행되었다. 형광 실험을 위하여 상기 조직을 다피(DAPI, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole)가 들어있는 마운팅 용액(Mounting medium, Vector laboratories, USA)을 이용하여 핵 염색 및 조직 보호를 하였으며 형광현미경(DM4000B, fluorescence microscopy, Leica, Germany)으로 조직 관찰 및 촬영을 진행하였다. 혹은 헤마톡실린&에오신(H&E, Hematoxylin and eosin) 염색 후 조직 관찰 현미경(BX41, Olympus, Japan)을 통해 400배 배율로 관찰을 하고 동일 배율로 촬영하였다.The samples were later run in two ways. For the fluorescence experiment, the tissue was subjected to nuclear staining and tissue protection using a mounting solution (Mounting medium, Vector laboratories, USA) containing DAPI (DAPI, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole), followed by a fluorescence microscope (DM4000B). , fluorescence microscopy, Leica, Germany) was used for tissue observation and imaging. Alternatively, after staining with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E, Hematoxylin and eosin), observation was made at 400 times magnification through a tissue observation microscope (BX41, Olympus, Japan), and images were taken at the same magnification.
도 12에 나타난 바와 같이, NFL-EVs는 뛰어난 조직 투과성을 보였다. 표피(epidermis)에 많은 NFL-EVs를 보여주기도 하였지만, 내부에 NFL-EVs가 투과되어 진피(dermis) 부분에서 누적되는 현상을 확인하였다.As shown in Figure 12, NFL-EVs showed excellent tissue permeability. Although it showed a lot of NFL-EVs in the epidermis, it was confirmed that the NFL-EVs penetrated inside and accumulated in the dermis.
진피에 누적되는 특성을 가진 NFL-EVs가 재생을 유도하는지 확인하기 위해, NFL-EVs를 포함한 NFL-CM을 상기와 같은 방법으로 인체조직 모델에 처리하는 실험을 진행하고 48시간 후에 어세이 미디아를 수득하였다. 어세이 미디아 내에 존재하는 기질인 프로콜라겐 1 타입, 그리고 기질을 분해하는 메탈로프로테이즈와 이를 조절하는 팀프의 변화를 프로콜라겐 1 타입 엘라이자 키트(PIP ELISA kit, TAKARA, Japan)와 팀프-1 엘라이자 키트(TIMP-1 ELISA kit, R&D system, USA), 메탈로프로테이즈-1 엘라이자 키드(Human total MMP-1 kit duoset, R&D system, USA)를 사용하여 측정하였으며 키트의 방법에 따라 진행한 후 SF군을 100%로 하여 그 상대값을 도 13에 나타냈다.In order to confirm whether NFL-EVs, which have the characteristic of accumulating in the dermis, induce regeneration, an experiment in which NFL-CM including NFL-EVs is treated in a human tissue model in the same way as above was conducted, and the assay media was analyzed 48 hours later. obtained. Procollagen 1 type, a substrate present in the assay media, and metalloproteinase that degrades the substrate and changes in thymp regulating it were investigated with a procollagen type 1 ELISA kit (PIP ELISA kit, TAKARA, Japan) and thymp-1. It was measured using an ELISA kit (TIMP-1 ELISA kit, R&D system, USA) and a metalloproteinase-1 ELISA kit (Human total MMP-1 kit duoset, R&D system, USA) and proceeded according to the method of the kit. After the SF group was 100%, the relative value is shown in FIG. 13 .
도 13에 나타난 바와 같이, NFL-CM을 처리한 군의 경우 아무것도 처리하지 않은 군에 비해 142% 프로콜라겐 1타입, 391% 팀프-1의 증가와 77%의 메탈로프로테이즈-1 감소를 확인하였다. 반면 양성 대조군 아스코르빅 에시드(1 mM)의 경우 87% 프로콜라겐 1타입, 137% 팀프-1의 증가를 나타내어 NFL-CM에 비해 낮은 값을 보였고(Unpaired T-test, ***: p < 0.0001), 또한 아스코르빅 에시드는 메탈로프로테이즈-1 감소에 효과적으로 알려져 있었지만 90% 메탈로프로테이즈-1 감소를 나타낼 뿐이어서 NFL-CM에 비해 비교적 약한 효과를 보여주었다.As shown in FIG. 13 , in the case of the NFL-CM-treated group, compared to the group not treated with anything, an increase of 142% procollagen type 1, 391% thymp-1 and a 77% decrease in metalloproteinase-1 were confirmed. did. On the other hand, the positive control ascorbic acid (1 mM) showed an increase of 87% procollagen type 1 and 137% thymp-1, which was lower than that of NFL-CM (Unpaired T-test, ***: p < 0.0001), and ascorbic acid was also known to be effective in reducing metalloproteinase-1, but it only showed a 90% reduction in metalloproteinase-1, so it showed a relatively weak effect compared to NFL-CM.
결론적으로 락토페린/칼슘 조성물과 함께 세포를 배양하면 더 많은 세포외 소포가 생성되고 락토페린이 세포외 소포의 음전하를 감소시킴으로써 더 많은 세포외 소포가 피부 조직에 도달하여 피부세포가 분비하는 세포외 기질의 양을 증가시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 실시예 3의 결과와 일치하며, 결과적으로 NFL-CM이 피부재생 효과를 증대시킴을 보여준다.In conclusion, when cells are incubated with lactoferrin/calcium composition, more extracellular vesicles are produced and lactoferrin reduces the negative charge of extracellular vesicles, so that more extracellular vesicles reach the skin tissue and increase the amount of extracellular matrix secreted by skin cells. It was confirmed that the amount increased. These results are consistent with the results of Example 3, and as a result, it shows that NFL-CM enhances the skin regeneration effect.
실시예 6: 피부세포 및 인체 조직 모델에서 락토페린/칼슘 조성물 배양액에 의한 필라그린 변화 확인Example 6: Confirmation of filaggrin changes by lactoferrin/calcium composition culture medium in skin cells and human tissue models
필라그린(Filaggrin)은 외부로부터 인체를 보호하는 피부 가장 외막에서 케라틴을 서로 연결하여 피부 장벽의 물리적인 지지력에 영향을 준다. 또한 필라그린의 최종 산물은 천연 보습 인자(Natural moisturizing factor)로 피부 보습을 유지하는 기능을 가지기에 필라그린은 피부 장벽과 보습에 주요한 요소로 작용한다.Filaggrin affects the physical support of the skin barrier by linking keratin with each other in the outermost layer of the skin that protects the human body from the outside. In addition, the final product of filaggrin is a natural moisturizing factor and has the function of maintaining skin moisture, so filaggrin acts as a major factor in skin barrier and moisturizing.
실시예 1에서 제작한 배양액이 케라티노사이트 내 필라그린에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 필라그린 형광 염색(immunofluorescence)을 진행하였다. 락토페린/칼슘 조성물/혈청대체제로 세포 배양 후 수득한 배양액을 NFL-CM(Nutrient Full media with Lactoferrin-Conditioned medium)로 표현하였다.In order to confirm the effect of the culture medium prepared in Example 1 on filaggrin in keratinocytes, filaggrin fluorescence staining (immunofluorescence) was performed.

구체적으로, 24개의 구멍이 있는 평판 배양접시(24-well plate)에 12Φ의 커버슬립(cover slip)을 구멍에 넣은 후 2 × 104 cells/㎖의 케라티노사이트(HaCaT) 현탁액 500 ㎕를 넣고 48시간 동안 배양하였다. 배양 배지(Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, DMEM, Welgene, Korea)를 제거한 후, 배양배지 250 ㎕와 NFL-CM 250 ㎕를 처리하였고, 음성 대조군으로 무첨가배지를 사용하였다. 접종 후, 37℃에서 5일 동안 배양 후 각 배지를 제거하고 필라그린 염색을 하였다. 고정액(2% formaldehyde, sigma, USA), 투과(0.2 % Triton-X 100, MP biomedical, Germany), Blocking(5% 소 태아 혈청), 항체반응(Filaggrin antibody, Thermofisher, USA), 두번째 항체 반응(Fluorescein horse anti-mouse IgG antibodies, vector laboratories, USA) 하였고, 마지막으로 마운팅 용액(Mounting medium, Vector laboratories, USA)을 이용하여 핵 염색 및 세포 보호를 하였다. 결과는 형광현미경(DM4000B, fluorescence microscopy, Leica, Germany)으로 확인하였다Specifically, in a 24-well plate with 24 holes, put a cover slip of 12Φ into the hole, and then put 500 μl of a 2 × 10 4 cells/ml keratinocyte (HaCaT) suspension. Incubated for 48 hours. After removing the culture medium (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, DMEM, Welgene, Korea), 250 μl of the culture medium and 250 μl of NFL-CM were treated, and an additive-free medium was used as a negative control. After inoculation, each medium was removed and stained with filaggrin after incubation for 5 days at 37°C. Fixative (2% formaldehyde, sigma, USA), permeabilization (0.2% Triton-X 100, MP biomedical, Germany), Blocking (5% fetal bovine serum), antibody reaction (Filaggrin antibody, Thermofisher, USA), second antibody reaction ( Fluorescein horse anti-mouse IgG antibodies, vector laboratories, USA), and finally, nuclear staining and cell protection were performed using a mounting solution (Mounting medium, Vector laboratories, USA). The results were confirmed with a fluorescence microscope (DM4000B, fluorescence microscopy, Leica, Germany).
도 14에 나타난 바와 같이, 음성대조군에 비해 NFL-CM을 처리한 군에서 더 많은 필라그린이 염색되었음을 확인하였고 NFL-CM이 케라티노사이트가 필라그린을 생성하는데 효과 있음을 알 수 있었다.As shown in FIG. 14 , it was confirmed that more filaggrin was stained in the group treated with NFL-CM than in the negative control group, and it was confirmed that NFL-CM is effective in generating filaggrin by keratinocytes.
실시예 1에서 제작한 배양액이 피부 조직 내 필라그린에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 필라그린 면역 염색(Immunohistochemistry)을 진행하였다. 구체적으로 사람의 3차원 피부 표피 모델(KeraSkin™, Biosolution, Korea)에 10% 도데실 황산 나트륨(SDS, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate)을 처리하여 세포 장벽을 망가뜨린 후, NFL-CM을 처리하였다. 4일 뒤 조직을 고정액(4% formaldehyde, sigma, USA)에 4시간 고정하고 고정액을 제거하기 위하여 흐르는 물에 4시간 동안 수세(Washing)하였다. 다음으로 실시예 5에서와 같이 탈수(Dehydration), 투명(Clearing), 침투(Infiltration), 포매(Embedding), 박절, 건조, 탈파라핀(Deparaffinization), 함수(Hydration), 투과(0.2% Triton-X 100)를 진행한 후, 인산 완충 용액으로 3번 세척하였다. 조직 내 내인성 과산화수소 활성에 의한 항체의 비특이적 염색을 없애기 위하여 0.3% 과산화수속에 5분 동안 반응시킨 후, 0.01M의 시트르산 나트륨(sodium citrate)으로 항원을 노출시켰다. 이후 블로킹 (blocking), 필라그린 항체 반응(Filaggrin antibody, Thermofisher, USA), 비오틴 부착 2차 항체[biotinylated universal(Anti-Mouse IgG/Rabbit IgG) antibody]와 반응시켰다. 각 과정에는 세척과정이 포함되었다. 키트 내 ABC 시약과 30분 반응 후, DAB 기질(VECTOR laboratory, SK4100, USA)과 반응하였고 마운팅 용액으로 조직을 보호하였다. 조직 관찰은 현미경(BX41, Olympus, Japan)을 통해 400배 배율로 관찰을 하고 동일 배율로 촬영하였다. 그 결과를 도 15에 나타내었다.In order to confirm the effect of the culture medium prepared in Example 1 on filaggrin in skin tissue, filaggrin immunostaining (Immunohistochemistry) was performed. Specifically, a 3D human skin epidermal model (KeraSkin™, Biosolution, Korea) was treated with 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) to break the cell barrier, and then treated with NFL-CM. After 4 days, the tissues were fixed in a fixative solution (4% formaldehyde, sigma, USA) for 4 hours and washed with running water for 4 hours to remove the fixative solution. Next, as in Example 5, dehydration, clearing, infiltration, embedding, thinning, drying, deparaffinization, hydration, permeation (0.2% Triton-X) 100), and then washed 3 times with a phosphate buffer solution. In order to eliminate non-specific staining of antibodies due to endogenous hydrogen peroxide activity in tissues, after reacting in 0.3% water peroxide for 5 minutes, the antigen was exposed with 0.01M sodium citrate. Thereafter, blocking, Filaggrin antibody reaction (Filaggrin antibody, Thermofisher, USA), and biotinylated secondary antibody [biotinylated universal (Anti-Mouse IgG/Rabbit IgG) antibody] were reacted. Each process included a washing process. After 30 minutes of reaction with ABC reagent in the kit, it was reacted with DAB substrate (VECTOR laboratory, SK4100, USA) and the tissue was protected with a mounting solution. The tissue was observed under a microscope (BX41, Olympus, Japan) at 400 times magnification and taken at the same magnification. The results are shown in FIG. 15 .
도 15에 나타난 바와 같이, 필라그린은 갈색으로 염색되었다. 도데실 황산 나트륨을 단독 처리하였을 경우, 피부 표피 조직이 망가졌음을 확인하였고, 필라그린의 양 또한 적음을 알 수 있었다. 그에 반해 도데실 황산 나트륨을 처리한 후 NFL-CM과 함께 배양하였을 경우 망가진 표피 조직이 기존의 피부 조직만큼 회복되었고, 필라그린의 양 또한 증가되는 것을 관찰하였다.As shown in FIG. 15 , filaggrin was stained brown. When sodium dodecyl sulfate was treated alone, it was confirmed that the skin epidermal tissue was damaged, and the amount of filaggrin was also small. On the other hand, when incubated with NFL-CM after treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate, the damaged epidermal tissue was recovered as much as the existing skin tissue, and it was observed that the amount of filaggrin was also increased.
결론적으로 NFL-CM은 피부 장벽과 보습에 주요한 인자인 필라그린을 증가시켜 망가진 피부 장벽을 회복시키는 효과를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.In conclusion, it was confirmed that NFL-CM has the effect of restoring the damaged skin barrier by increasing filaggrin, which is a major factor in skin barrier and moisturizing.
