Description

전구세포에서 유래한 다기능성 엑소좀을 포함하는 피부염 예방 또는 치료용 약학적 조성물Pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating dermatitis comprising multifunctional exosomes derived from progenitor cells
본 발명은 전구세포 유래 엑소좀을 유효성분으로 하는 피부염의 예방 또는 치료용 조성물에 관한 것으로서, 본 발명의 상기 조성물은 피부염의 예방, 개선, 완화 또는 치료용 약학 조성물, 연고, 스프레이 등 피부외용제 및 화장료 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating dermatitis using progenitor cell-derived exosomes as an active ingredient, and the composition of the present invention comprises a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, improving, alleviating or treating dermatitis, an ointment, a spray, etc. It relates to a cosmetic composition.
아토피 피부염을 대표로 하는 많은 피부염은 염증성 피부질환으로 칭해진다. 염증성 피부질환의 명확한 발병기전은 밝혀지지 않았지만 면역세포들의 복합적인 기능장애와 밀접한 연관성이 있다. 또한, 조직학적으로 염증성 피부질환은 대부분 혈관주위 면역세포 침윤현상을 보인다(Ackerman et al., Histologic diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases, 3rd edition, 2005.).Many dermatitis represented by atopic dermatitis are called inflammatory skin diseases. Although the exact pathogenesis of inflammatory skin disease has not been elucidated, it is closely related to the complex dysfunction of immune cells. In addition, histologically, most inflammatory skin diseases show perivascular immune cell infiltration (Ackerman et al., Histologic diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases, 3rd edition, 2005.).
이 외에도 염증성 피부염에서는 면역글로불린 IgE 증가와 사이토카인 iNOS, IL-6, TNFα, TSLP(Thymic stromal lymphopoietin), CCL17(TARC) 등의 증가가 관찰되고 이런 요소들이 피부염의 중증도와 연관되어 있고, 피부염에서 자주 보이는 가려움증, 건조증, 피부 병변의 원인이라고 알려져 있다. In addition, increase in immunoglobulin IgE and increase in cytokines iNOS, IL-6, TNFα, TSLP (Thymic stromal lymphopoietin), and CCL17 (TARC) are observed in inflammatory dermatitis. It is known to be the cause of frequent itching, dryness, and skin lesions.
이러한 연구를 바탕으로, 염증성 피부질환 치료제를 개발하고자 하는 노력들이 있다. 현재까지 개발된 피부염 치료제는 스테로이드, 항히스타민제 및 듀플리맙(Dupilumab, 브랜드명 : 듀피젠트) 등이 있다. 스테로이드와 항히스타민제는 다양한 부작용이 보고되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 피부염에 대한 근본적인 치료제가 아니기에 지속적으로 사용하기가 어려운 문제점이 있다. 듀피젠트는 사이토카인인 IL-4와 IL-13을 동시에 타깃하는 단일클론항체 의약품으로 시중에서 출시되었지만 복강경 주사제로 사용 편이성, 연령 및 아토피 피부염의 중증도에 대한 사용제한, 높은 가격에 대한 부담 및 제한적인 효과와 다양한 부작용이 문제가 되고 있다. Based on these studies, there are efforts to develop a therapeutic agent for inflammatory skin disease. Dermatitis treatments developed so far include steroids, antihistamines, and Dupilumab (brand name: Dupixent). Steroids and antihistamines have various side effects and are difficult to use continuously because they are not fundamental treatments for dermatitis. Although Dupixent was released on the market as a monoclonal antibody drug that simultaneously targets the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, it is a laparoscopic injection. The side effects and various side effects are becoming a problem.
이와 같이, 현재까지 발굴된 피부염 치료제는 모두 증상을 완화시키는 것에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 근본적인 치료를 위한 접근방식의 치료제는 현재로는 없다. 듀피젠트도 사이토카인을 표적으로 삼지만 근본적으로 사이토카인을 분비하는 면역세포를 조절하는 근본적인 치료제는 아니다. 또한, 임상연구 중에 있는 많은 치료제 후보물질들이 듀피젠트와 같이 사이토카인이 표적이므로 향후 동일한 문제에 직면하게 될 것이다.As such, all of the dermatitis therapeutics discovered so far focus on alleviating symptoms, and there is currently no therapeutic approach for fundamental treatment. Although Dupixent also targets cytokines, it is not a fundamental therapeutic agent that fundamentally modulates cytokine-secreting immune cells. In addition, since many drug candidates under clinical research target cytokines like Dupixent, they will face the same problem in the future.
한편, 전통적인 치료제 연구와 달리 줄기세포로 피부염 치료제를 개발하고자 하는 노력이 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 최근 중간엽 줄기세포 아토피 피부염 치료제가 임상 3상에서 유효성을 입증하는데 실패하면서 줄기세포 관련 피부염 치료제 연구개발에도 적신호가 켜진 상황이다. On the other hand, unlike traditional treatment research, efforts are being made to develop a treatment for dermatitis using stem cells. However, as the recent mesenchymal stem cell atopic dermatitis treatment failed to prove its effectiveness in phase 3 clinical trials, a red light has been turned on for the research and development of stem cell-related dermatitis treatment.
이에 중간엽 줄기세포 분비인자인 엑소좀 등을 이용한 피부염 치료제 개발도 시도되고 있다. 엑소좀은 엔도솜(endosome)에서 생성되는 크기가 30-150nm되는 막으로 둘러싸인 소낭체이다. 생리학적 조건에서 모든 생물체의 세포는 엑소좀를 분비한다. 미세소포(microvesicals), 세포자멸사 소체(apoptotic bodies) 등 기타 세포 외 소낭체들의 크기도 엑소좀과 비슷하지만 생물발생 경로가 다르다. 엑소좀의 가장 큰 역할은 카고(cargo) 즉 물질운반체로서 단백질, 지질, mRNA, microRNA, long non-coding RNA 등 핵산정보를 운반하는 것이다. 생리학적 조건에서 엑소좀은 지속적으로 세포와 세포사이를 오가면서 이런 정보를 전달하여 세포들의 교류에 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 엑소좀이 운반하는 물질 중에서 microRNA들이 가장 중요하다는 것이 밝혀졌고 엑소좀이 생리학적 또는 치료 효능을 나타낼 수 있는 핵심이다 (Zhang et al., Exosomes beyond stem cells for restorative therapy in stroke and neurological injury, Nature reviews neurology, 15, 193-203 (2019)). 한국공개특허 제2020-0084798호와 제2045188호 등에도 줄기세포 유래 엑소좀을 유효성분으로 포함하는 피부 진정용 조성물에 관한 기술이 제시되어 있다. 그러나, 엑소좀의 특성은 유래 세포에 따라 결정되기에 중간엽 줄기세포 유래 엑소좀은 중간엽 줄기세포와 같이 그 효과가 제한적일 것으로 판단되고 있다. Therefore, attempts are being made to develop a treatment for dermatitis using exosomes, which are mesenchymal stem cell secretion factors. Exosomes are membrane-enclosed vesicles with a size of 30-150 nm produced by endosomes. Under physiological conditions, cells of all living organisms secrete exosomes. Other extracellular vesicles, such as microvesicals and apoptotic bodies, are similar in size to exosomes, but differ in their biogenesis pathways. The biggest role of exosomes is to transport nucleic acid information such as proteins, lipids, mRNA, microRNA, and long non-coding RNA as a cargo, that is, a material carrier. Under physiological conditions, exosomes play an important role in cell-to-cell communication by continuously passing these information back and forth between cells. In particular, it has been found that microRNAs are the most important of the substances transported by exosomes, and exosomes are the key to showing physiological or therapeutic efficacy (Zhang et al., Exosomes beyond stem cells for restorative therapy in stroke and neurological injury, Nature reviews neurology, 15, 193-203 (2019)). Korean Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2020-0084798 and No. 2045188 also disclose a technique for a composition for soothing the skin containing stem cell-derived exosomes as an active ingredient. However, since the characteristics of the exosomes are determined depending on the derived cells, the mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes are judged to have limited effects like the mesenchymal stem cells.
본 발명은 대부분의 염증성 피부질환에 보이는 혈관주위 면역세포 침윤현상에 초점을 맞추어 치료제 개발을 진행하였다. 그 중에서도, 호중구와 림프구의 조절에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 호중구와 림프구 비율은 아토피 피부염의 발병도를 반영하고, 아토피 피부염 정도를 나타내는 SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis) index의 증가에 따라 호중구와 림프구 비율이 증가하는 것으로 보고되어 있다(Jiang et al., Assessment of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ration in atopic dermatitis patients, Medical science monitor, 23:1340-1346(2017)). 또한, 호중구와 림프구 비율은 건선과 밀접한 연관성이 있고, 건선 환자에서 피부질환의 범위가 넓고 중증도가 심할수록 혈액 속 호중구와 림프구 비율이 증가하는 것으로 보고되어 있다(B.B.Sen et al., Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as a measure of systemic inflammation in psoriasis, Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 33, 223-227(2014)). The present invention proceeded to develop a therapeutic agent focusing on the perivascular immune cell infiltration phenomenon seen in most inflammatory skin diseases. Among them, studies on the regulation of neutrophils and lymphocytes were conducted. The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes reflects the incidence of atopic dermatitis, and it is reported that the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes increases with the increase of the SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis) index, which indicates the degree of atopic dermatitis (Jiang et al., Assessment of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ration in atopic dermatitis patients, Medical science monitor, 23:1340-1346 (2017)). In addition, it has been reported that the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes is closely related to psoriasis, and the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes in the blood increases as the range and severity of skin diseases in psoriasis patients increases (B.B.Sen et al., Neutrophil to lymphocyte) ratio as a measure of systemic inflammation in psoriasis, Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 33, 223-227 (2014)).
결과적으로 본 발명은 기존의 피부염 치료제와는 전혀 다른 기전으로 직접적으로 혈관주위 면역세포 침윤현상을 억제하고 호중구와 림프구를 조절하는 엑소좀을 전구세포로부터 획득하였고, 해당 엑소좀이 현존하는 약물과 달리 근본적으로 면역시스템을 조절하여 피부염을 치료하는 획기적인 효과를 밝힘으로써 본 발명을 완성하였다.As a result, the present invention obtained exosomes from progenitor cells that directly inhibit the infiltration of perivascular immune cells and control neutrophils and lymphocytes by a mechanism completely different from the existing dermatitis treatment agents, and the exosomes are different from existing drugs.

A hollow fiber filter (purchased from Repligen) was used as a filter for the tangential flow filtration method. For the hollow fiber filter, various materials and molecular weight cutoff can be selected according to the properties of the exosomes and the purpose of filtration. Exosomes were selectively separated by the selected molecular weight limit, and all particles, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and low molecular weight compounds smaller than the selected molecular weight limit were removed. As hollow fibers for separating exosomes, mPES (Modified Polyethersulfone), PS (Polysulfone), PES (Polyethersulfone) or ME (Mixed Cellulose Ester) materials were used, and the molecular weight limit was 10,000 Da, 50,000 Da or 75,000 Da. did Concentration and diafiltration using the tangential flow filtration method were performed intermittently or continuously, and the concentration was concentrated 10 to 25 times relative to the starting volume, and diafiltration was performed at least 10 times relative to the concentrated volume, preferably This was performed using a buffer solution having a volume of 12 to 15 times or more. As the buffer solution, 1x phosphate buffered saline (1xPBS, free of calcium and magnesium, purchased from Corning) was used, and no chemicals or low molecular weight substances were added. The exosomes subjected to concentration and diafiltration by the tangential flow filtration method were diluted by adding a stabilization buffer 10 to 25 times so that the volume of the exosomes was the same as the starting volume.
