Description

本発明は、CXCL12発現促進剤、及び色素幹細胞の分化抑制剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a CXCL12 expression promoter and a dye stem cell differentiation inhibitor.

皮膚や毛髪の色は、メラノサイトによって産生されるメラニンにより、大きく左右される。生体内のメラノサイトの起源は、毛包内バルジ領域に存在する色素幹細胞であることが知られている。色素幹細胞から分化したメラノブラストは、表皮や毛球へと移動し、Tyrosinase(TYR)、TYR-related protein-1(TYRP1)及びDopachrome tautomerase(DCT)などの一連のメラニン合成関連酵素の発現を獲得し、メラニン合成能を持った成熟したメラノサイトへ分化することで、それぞれ皮膚や毛髪の色素産生に関わる(非特許文献1)。したがって、色素幹細胞の維持や分化における異常は、白髪の原因となる。例えば、白髪化のメカニズムの一つとして、バルジ領域において色素幹細胞がメラノサイトへ異所性に分化してしまうことで、色素幹細胞が枯渇し、メラノサイトの供給源がなくなってしまうことが明らかになっている(非特許文献2)。 The color of skin and hair is greatly influenced by the melanin produced by melanocytes. The origin of melanocytes in vivo is known to be pigment stem cells present in the bulge region within hair follicles. Melanoblasts differentiated from pigmented stem cells migrate to the epidermis and hair bulbs and acquire the expression of a series of melanin synthesis-related enzymes such as Tyrosinase (TYR), TYR-related protein-1 (TYRP1) and Dopachrome tautomerase (DCT). However, by differentiating into mature melanocytes with melanin synthesizing ability, they are involved in the production of pigments in the skin and hair, respectively (Non-Patent Document 1). Therefore, abnormalities in the maintenance and differentiation of pigment stem cells cause gray hair. For example, as one of the mechanisms of whitening, it has become clear that pigment stem cells ectopically differentiate into melanocytes in the bulge region, resulting in depletion of pigment stem cells and loss of the source of melanocytes. (Non-Patent Document 2).

従来、白髪の改善方法は、毛包内に存在するメラノサイトを活性化し、メラニン生成やメラノサイトの増殖を促進する方法が主流であった。しかしながら、かかる方法は、メラノサイトの起源となる色素幹細胞を制御するものでなく、限定的又は対処療法的であり、根本的な白髪の改善は望めない。 Conventionally, the main method for improving white hair has been to activate melanocytes existing in hair follicles and promote melanin production and melanocyte proliferation. However, such a method does not control the pigment stem cells that are the origin of melanocytes, is limited or symptomatic, and cannot be expected to improve the fundamental white hair.

一般的に、幹細胞は、ニッチと呼ばれる幹細胞の周囲を取り巻く微小環境によって制御されている(非特許文献3)。毛包内バルジ領域において、毛包幹細胞は色素幹細胞の周囲を取り囲むように存在し、色素幹細胞のニッチ細胞として機能している。よって、毛包幹細胞の性質に着目し、色素幹細胞のニッチを適切に制御できれば、従来のメラノサイトの活性化や増殖促進による方法と比べて、白髪を根本的に改善する方法として極めて有効といえる。 In general, stem cells are controlled by a microenvironment surrounding the stem cells, which is called a niche (Non-Patent Document 3). In the bulge region within the hair follicle, the hair follicle stem cell exists so as to surround the pigment stem cell and functions as a niche cell of the pigment stem cell. Therefore, if attention is paid to the properties of hair follicle stem cells and the niche of pigment stem cells can be appropriately controlled, it can be said that it is extremely effective as a method for fundamentally improving white hair as compared with the conventional method of activating melanocytes and promoting proliferation.

一方、本発明者らによるこれまでの研究で、ケモカインの一種であるCXCL12(別名stromal cell-derived factor-1:SDF-1)が、毛包内バルジ領域の毛包幹細胞において特異的に発現し、その発現量は黒髪の毛根部よりも白髪の毛根部で低いこと、毛包幹細胞により産生されたCXCL12が色素幹細胞の異所性の分化を抑制するとともに、メラノサイトの分化関連遺伝子の発現を抑制することが明らかとなっている(特許文献1)。よって、このメラノサイトの起源となる色素幹細胞のニッチを構成するCXCL12を制御することができれば、メラノサイトのみをターゲットとする従来のアプローチよりも、根本的かつ効果的な白髪の予防及び/又は改善効果が期待できる。また、CXCL12のような因子を生体内で制御することは困難であるため、外部から制御できる薬剤の開発が待たれている。 On the other hand, in previous studies by the present inventors, CXCL12 (also known as stromal cell-derived factor-1: SDF-1), which is a kind of chemokine, is specifically expressed in hair follicle stem cells in the bulge region in hair follicles. The expression level is lower in the hair root of white hair than in the hair root of black hair, and CXCL12 produced by hair follicle stem cells suppresses ectopic differentiation of pigment stem cells and suppresses the expression of melanosite differentiation-related genes. Has been clarified (Patent Document 1). Therefore, if CXCL12, which constitutes the niche of pigment stem cells that are the origin of melanocytes, can be controlled, a fundamental and effective prevention and / or improvement effect on white hair can be achieved as compared with the conventional approach targeting only melanocytes. You can expect it. Further, since it is difficult to control a factor such as CXCL12 in vivo, the development of a drug that can be controlled from the outside is awaited.

従って、本発明は、色素幹細胞のニッチを構成し、色素幹細胞の分化抑制に関与するCXCL12を生体の外部から制御できる物質を見出し、これを、白髪を根本的にかつ効率的に予防及び/又は改善するための薬剤として提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, the present invention has found a substance that constitutes a niche of pigment stem cells and can control CXCL12 involved in the suppression of differentiation of pigment stem cells from the outside of the living body, and prevents and / or prevents white hair fundamentally and efficiently. The challenge is to provide it as a drug for improvement.

本発明者らは上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究をした結果、トリュフの抽出物、所定の前処理をしたオタネニンジンの抽出物、及びこれらの混合物が、毛包幹細胞におけるCXCL12の発現を有意に増加させることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。 As a result of diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors significantly increased the expression of CXCL12 in hair follicle stem cells by the extract of truffle, the extract of Otaneninjin which had been subjected to a predetermined pretreatment, and a mixture thereof. It was found that the present invention was completed.

すなわち、本発明は、以下の発明を包含する。
(1)トリュフの抽出物、及び蒸気加熱処理後、加熱乾燥処理されたオタネニンジンの抽出物から選ばれる1種又は2種の抽出物を有効成分として含有することを特徴とする、CXCL12(stromal cell-derived factor-1)の発現促進剤。

(3) The agent according to (1) or (2), wherein the ginseng is dried or raw ginseng.

本発明のCXCL12発現促進剤は、色素幹細胞の分化抑制に関与するCXCL12の発現を有意に増加させることができるので、白髪の根本的な予防及び/又は改善に有効である。 Since the CXCL12 expression promoter of the present invention can significantly increase the expression of CXCL12 involved in the suppression of differentiation of pigment stem cells, it is effective for the fundamental prevention and / or improvement of white hair.

本発明のCXCL12発現促進剤は、トリュフの抽出物、及び蒸気加熱処理後、加熱乾燥処理されたオタネニンジンの抽出物から選ばれる1種又は2種の抽出物を有効成分として含有することを特徴とする。本発明における「CXCL12発現促進」とは、生体レベルまたは培養レベルでCXCL12の発現を促進することをいう。 The CXCL12 expression promoter of the present invention is characterized by containing one or two kinds of extracts selected from the extract of truffle and the extract of Panax ginseng heat-dried after steam heat treatment as an active ingredient. do. "Promotion of CXCL12 expression" in the present invention means promoting the expression of CXCL12 at the biological level or the culture level.

CXCL12(別名stromal cell-derived factor-1)は、Gタンパク質共役受容体(GPCR)であるケモカイン受容体CXCR4,7のリガンドである。前述のように、CXCL12は、色素幹細胞のニッチ(幹細胞の生態的適所)である毛包内バルジ領域の毛包幹細胞において特異的に発現し、毛包幹細胞により産生されたCXCL12は毛包内バルジ領域における色素幹細胞の分化を抑制するとともに、メラノサイトの分化関連遺伝子の発現を抑制する作用を有することが知られている(特開2018-027920号公報)。後述の実施例に示されるように、トリュフの抽出物、蒸気加熱処理後、加熱乾燥処理されたオタネニンジン(以下、「修治オタネニンジン」と記載する場合がある)の抽出物、及びこれらの混合物は、CXCL12発現促進効果を有する。よって、トリュフの抽出物及び修治オタネニンジンの抽出物から選ばれる1種又は2種の抽出物は、CXCL12の発現を促進することで、色素幹細胞のニッチである毛包内バルジ領域の色素幹細胞の分化抑制が可能となるので、色素幹細胞の分化抑制剤の有効成分とすることができる。本発明において「色素幹細胞の分化抑制」とは、本来未分化な状態で維持される毛包内バルジ領域(ニッチ)における色素幹細胞の異所性分化の抑制、単離された色素幹細胞の生体外での分化の抑制、及び生体レベル又は培養レベルでの未分化性の維持を意味する。よって、本発明の色素幹細胞の分化抑制剤は、色素幹細胞の未分化状態維持剤、機能維持剤ともいうことができる。 CXCL12 (also known as stromal cell-developed factor-1) is a ligand for the chemokine receptor CXCR4,7, which is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). As described above, CXCL12 is specifically expressed in hair follicle stem cells in the bulge region within hair follicles, which is a niche of pigment stem cells (the ecological location of stem cells), and CXCL12 produced by hair follicle stem cells is bulge in hair follicles. It is known to have an action of suppressing the differentiation of pigment stem cells in the region and the expression of a gene related to the differentiation of melanosite (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2018-0279220). As shown in Examples described later, an extract of truffles, an extract of Panax ginseng that has been heat-dried after steam heat treatment (hereinafter, may be referred to as “Shuji Panax ginseng”), and a mixture thereof are used. It has the effect of promoting the expression of CXCL12. Therefore, one or two extracts selected from the truffle extract and the Shuji Otaneninjin extract promote the expression of CXCL12 to differentiate the pigment stem cells in the bulge region in the hair follicle, which is a niche of pigment stem cells. Since it can be suppressed, it can be used as an active ingredient of an agent for suppressing differentiation of pigment stem cells. In the present invention, "inhibition of differentiation of pigmented stem cells" means suppression of ectopic differentiation of pigmented stem cells in the bulge region (nitch) in hair follicles, which is originally maintained in an undifferentiated state, and in vitro isolated pigmented stem cells. It means the suppression of differentiation in the body and the maintenance of undifferentiated state at the biological level or the culture level. Therefore, the agent for suppressing the differentiation of pigmented stem cells of the present invention can also be said to be an agent for maintaining the undifferentiated state of the pigmented stem cells and an agent for maintaining the function.

また、CXCL12は、毛包内バルジ領域における色素幹細胞の異所性分化の抑制により、メラノサイトの供給源となる色素幹細胞の減少又は枯渇を阻止できるので、トリュフの抽出物及び修治オタネニンジンの抽出物から選ばれる1種又は2種の抽出物は、白髪の予防及び/又は改善剤の有効成分としても利用できる。本発明において、「白髪の予防及び/又は改善」には、白髪発生の阻止、白髪の程度(本数や範囲)の改善、白髪化の進行速度の低下、白髪から黒髪への変化、白髪に伴う脱毛の抑制、白髪に伴う毛髪の光沢や弾性の減少の抑制などが含まれる。また、白髪の予防及び/又は改善効果は、頭髪に直接な作用機序を示す場合と頭部における経皮的な作用機序を示す場合の両方を含む。 In addition, CXCL12 can prevent the decrease or depletion of pigment stem cells, which are the source of melanocytes, by suppressing the ectopic differentiation of pigment stem cells in the bulge region in the hair follicle. The selected one or two extracts can also be used as an active ingredient of a preventive and / or ameliorating agent for white hair. In the present invention, "prevention and / or improvement of gray hair" includes prevention of the occurrence of gray hair, improvement of the degree (number and range) of gray hair, decrease in the rate of progression of gray hair, change from gray hair to black hair, and accompanying gray hair. This includes suppressing hair loss and suppressing the decrease in hair gloss and elasticity associated with white hair. In addition, the preventive and / or ameliorating effect of white hair includes both the case of showing a direct mechanism of action on the hair and the case of showing a percutaneous mechanism of action on the head.

Further, the extracted solution may be subjected to treatments such as concentrated drying, spray drying, freeze-drying and the like, and used as a dried product.

本発明において用いるオタネニンジン(学名:Panax ginseng C.A.Mey、別名:高麗人参、朝鮮人参、薬用人参)は、ウコギ科(Araliaceae)トチバニンジン属(Panax)に属する多年草で、生薬の「ニンジン」(和名:人参、学名:Ginseng Radix)の基原植物である。オタネニンジンの根を乾燥させたものが生薬として用いられているが、その製造方法の違いから、根の皮を剥ぎ、乾燥させた「白参」と、皮を付けたまま蒸して乾燥させた「紅参」に大別される。 Panax ginseng (scientific name: Panax ginseng C.A.Mey, also known as Korean ginseng, ginseng, medicated ginseng) is a perennial herb belonging to the ginseng family (Araliaceae) and ginseng (Panax). Ginseng, scientific name: Ginseng Radix) is the original plant. Dried roots of Panax ginseng are used as crude drugs, but due to the difference in the manufacturing method, the roots are peeled and dried "white ginseng" and steamed and dried with the skin attached. It is roughly divided into "red ginseng".

本発明において、オタネニンジンは、その葉、茎、果実、果皮、花、花芽、種子、全草、根、根茎等の植物体の一部又は植物体全体、それらの混合物のいずれも用いることができるが、根(特に、側根)、葉、茎が好ましい。 In the present invention, Otaneninjin can be used as a part of a plant such as leaves, stems, fruits, peels, flowers, flower buds, seeds, whole plants, roots, rhizomes, or the whole plant, or a mixture thereof. However, roots (particularly lateral roots), leaves and stems are preferred.

本発明においてオタネニンジンは、乾燥オタネニンジン又は生のオタネニンジンのいずれも用いることができるが、乾燥オタネニンジンが好ましい。乾燥オタネニンジンの場合、水分含量が20%以下、好ましくは10%以下となるまで乾燥させたものが好ましい。水分含量は、日本薬局方の乾燥減量などの方法を用いて測定することができる。乾燥方法としては、植物体の乾燥方法として通常用いられ、水分含量が上記の範囲となる方法であれば特に限定はされないが、例えば、自然乾燥(風乾)、天日乾燥、通風乾燥、熱風乾燥、噴霧乾燥、減圧乾燥、真空乾燥等が挙げられる。 As the Panax ginseng, either dried Panax ginseng or raw Panax ginseng can be used in the present invention, but dried Panax ginseng is preferable. In the case of dried ginseng, it is preferable that the ginseng is dried until the water content is 20% or less, preferably 10% or less. The water content can be measured using a method such as drying weight loss according to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. The drying method is usually used as a method for drying a plant, and is not particularly limited as long as the water content is within the above range. For example, natural drying (air drying), sun drying, ventilation drying, hot air drying, etc. , Spray drying, vacuum drying, vacuum drying and the like.

本発明において、上記の乾燥オタネニンジン又は生のオタネニンジンを抽出する前に、生薬の加工の際に行われる修治処理(蒸して乾かすという加工処理)に相当する蒸気加熱処理と加熱乾燥処理を行う。蒸気加熱処理は、熱水、飽和水蒸気、過熱蒸気、減圧(真空)蒸気等を熱媒体とし、高湿度雰囲気下、例えば、湿度80%以上の雰囲気下で対象物を加熱する処理をいう。蒸気加熱は熱媒体を対象物に直接接触させることによって行ってもよく、または対象物を、熱交換機を通じて間接的に加熱してもよい。また加熱は常圧下および加圧下のいずれで行ってもよい。蒸気加熱処理の条件としては、温度は、70~180℃が好ましく、100~150℃がより好ましく、100~120℃がさらに好ましい。時間は、温度によって異なるが、1~15時間が好ましく、2~10時間がより好ましく、4~8時間がさらに好ましい。これらの温度及び時間の条件はあくまで例示であり、温度及び時間の相互の関係で適宜変更できる。また、本発明における蒸気加熱処理は、連続式またはバッチ式のスチーマー(蒸し機)やオートクレーブなどを用いて行えばよい。 In the present invention, before extracting the above-mentioned dried ginseng or raw ginseng, a steam heat treatment and a heat-drying treatment corresponding to a repair treatment (a processing treatment of steaming and drying) performed at the time of processing a crude drug are performed. The steam heat treatment refers to a treatment in which hot water, saturated steam, superheated steam, reduced pressure (vacuum) steam, or the like is used as a heat medium to heat an object in a high humidity atmosphere, for example, an atmosphere having a humidity of 80% or more. Steam heating may be performed by bringing the heat medium into direct contact with the object, or the object may be indirectly heated through a heat exchanger. Further, heating may be performed under normal pressure or pressure. As the conditions for the steam heat treatment, the temperature is preferably 70 to 180 ° C, more preferably 100 to 150 ° C, still more preferably 100 to 120 ° C. The time varies depending on the temperature, but is preferably 1 to 15 hours, more preferably 2 to 10 hours, still more preferably 4 to 8 hours. These temperature and time conditions are merely examples, and can be appropriately changed depending on the mutual relationship between temperature and time. Further, the steam heat treatment in the present invention may be carried out by using a continuous or batch type steamer (steamer), an autoclave, or the like.

蒸気加熱処理されたオタネニンジンは、水分を含んでいるため、加熱乾燥処理を行なう。加熱乾燥の温度としては、40~85℃が好ましく、50~70℃がより好ましい。乾燥方法としては、通風乾燥、熱風乾燥、マイクロ波乾燥等を用いることができる。乾燥時間(加熱時間)は、加熱温度、蒸気加熱処理後のオタネニンジンの水分含量、乾燥する総量によって異なり、特定はできないが、約6~24時間の範囲である。 Since the steam-heat-treated Panax ginseng contains water, it is heat-dried.

表1に示すように、トリュフの抽出物(製造例1)、蒸気加熱処理後、加熱乾燥処理を行った(修治)オタネニンジンの抽出物(製造例2~5)を添加した培地で培養した毛包幹細胞では、未修治オタネニンジン(白参)の抽出物(比較製造例1)に比べ、CXCL12遺伝子の発現量が亢進し、CXCL12遺伝子の発現促進効果を有することが示された。また、蒸気加熱処理前に乾燥させたオタネニンジンの抽出物(製造例3~5)は、生のオタネニンジン(紅参)の抽出物(製造例2)よりも当該効果が高かった。さらに、トリュフの抽出物(製造例1)とオタネニンジンの抽出物(製造例2~5)を併用すると、格別に効果が高まることが確認できた。よって、トリュフの抽出物、修治オタネニンジンの抽出物、及びこれらの混合物は、CXCL12遺伝子の発現促進作用に基づき、毛包内バルジ領域における色素幹細胞の異所性分化を抑制して未分化な状態を維持するとともに、メラノサイトの分化関連遺伝子の発現を抑制することができるので、白髪化を根本的に抑制及び阻止できるものといえる。 As shown in Table 1, hair cultured in a medium supplemented with an extract of truffle (Production Example 1) and an extract of Otaneninjin (Production Examples 2 to 5) that had been heat-dried after steam heat treatment (Shuji). It was shown that the expression level of the CXCL12 gene was enhanced in the envelope stem cells as compared with the unrepaired Otaneninjin (white ginseng) extract (Comparative Production Example 1), and the expression promoting effect of the CXCL12 gene was exhibited. In addition, the ginseng extract (Production Examples 3 to 5) dried before the steam heat treatment had a higher effect than the raw ginseng (red ginseng) extract (Production Example 2). Furthermore, it was confirmed that the combined use of the truffle extract (Production Example 1) and the Panax ginseng extract (Production Examples 2 to 5) significantly enhances the effect. Therefore, the truffle extract, the Shuji Otaneninjin extract, and a mixture thereof suppress the ectopic differentiation of pigment stem cells in the bulge region in the hair follicle based on the expression promoting action of the CXCL12 gene, resulting in an undifferentiated state. Since it can be maintained and the expression of melanosite differentiation-related genes can be suppressed, it can be said that the whitening of hair can be fundamentally suppressed and prevented.
