Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of molecular biology, in particular to a skin aging protein marker CLUS protein and a noninvasive extraction method thereof.

Background

Skin aging, also known as skin aging, refers to the functional aging damage of skin, which reduces the protection and regulation ability of skin to human body, so that the skin can not adapt to the change of internal and external environment, and the change of the overall appearance such as color, luster, shape, texture, etc. Aging of the skin is classified into intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging. Endogenous aging refers to the natural aging of the skin as it ages. It is manifested as whitening of the skin, fine wrinkles, decreased elasticity, skin laxity, etc. The most prominent cause of extrinsic aging is photoaging due to sun exposure. Skin discoloration manifested as wrinkles, loose skin, roughness, yellowish or grayish yellow, telangiectasia, formation of pigmented spots, and the like.

With the improvement of living standard of people, people pay more and more attention to skin care, but usually only pay attention to the external expression of skin aging, such as wrinkle, color spot, pore thickness degree and other information, and judge the aging degree of skin, the method for judging the aging degree of skin cannot find out the internal factors causing skin aging from the root, cannot intervene skin aging in advance before the external expression of skin aging occurs, and in addition, correctly judge the aging degree of skin and judge whether the physiological age of aging accords with the actual age, and is also the precondition of cosmetology or medical cosmetology.

CLUS: is a secreted chaperone protein that can also be found in the cytoplasm under certain stress conditions. It has been found to be involved in several fundamental biological events, such as cell death, tumor progression and neurodegenerative diseases. CLUS plays a role in inflammation and immune responses. CLUS is transiently involved in the non-covalent folding, assembly and/or disassembly of other polypeptides or RNA molecules, including any trafficking and oligomerization processes they may undergo, as well as the refolding and recombination of stress-denatured proteins and RNA molecules. Although molecular chaperones are involved in these processes, they are not part of these functional molecules.

There is currently no precedent for the use of the CLUS protein (apolipoprotein J) as an aid in determining the degree of skin aging.

The average value is a threshold value for measuring the degree of skin aging of a subject, and when a subject is evaluated, the CLUS content in the skin is measured in the same manner as the threshold value, and when the CLUS content is lower than the threshold value, it is indicated that the physiological age of the skin of the subject is younger than the actual age; and when the CLUS content in the skin of the subject is higher than the threshold value, judging that the physiological age of the skin of the subject is older than the actual age.

As to how to measure the CLUS content in the skin, any method capable of determining the absolute and relative content of proteins, such as antigen-antibody binding method, etc., other than the method of mass spectrometry in the present example, is possible and should be protected by the present invention.

In addition to the skin, the CLUS content can also be used as an index for assisting in the judgment of the overall aging degree of a human.
