Background
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and the stratum corneum of the skin covers the living body and keeps moisture and protects against the invasion of foreign substances. The natural barrier of the skin refers to a brick wall structure consisting of stratum corneum cells and lipid and natural moisturizing factor between the cells, and the surface of the brick wall structure is attached with a skin lipid membrane, thereby forming a natural protective barrier for the human body together. The skin barrier not only prevents pathogen invasion, but also integrates the mediation of the stratum corneum, keratinocyte structural components, and immune cell antigens. The barrier function of the skin has bidirectional property, on one hand, various organs and tissues in the body are protected from being invaded by harmful factors of machinery, physics, chemistry and biology in the external environment to cause diseases, on the other hand, various nutrient substances, moisture, electrolytes and other substances in the body are prevented from being lost, the moisture content of the skin is maintained, and the skin is moistened. Substances in the external environment are difficult to pass through the skin due to the barrier action of the skin.
Collagen is a major component of extracellular matrix of animal connective tissue, and is present in various tissues and organs, such as animal skin, bones, tendons, pericardium, and the like. Collagen is an extracellular structural protein, which not only provides a site for nutrition metabolism for cells, but also influences the morphological structure, cell movement and growth metabolism of cells. The molecular structure of collagen is characterized by having a triple-helix structure, and 3 left-handed helical chains are mutually wound and twisted into a tight right-handed helical structure, and the molecules of the collagen are very stable. More than 20 different types of collagen have been discovered to date. The type I collagen is the collagen with the largest content in animals, and is also most widely applied in the field of tissue engineering. The amino acid composition of different types of collagen is approximately the same, differing only by source and type. The continuous development of molecular biology has led to the gradual recognition of the good physical properties and biological characteristics of collagen, and the collagen is widely used in the fields of biomedicine, materials, chemical industry, food, agriculture, and the like.
The molecular weight and its distribution directly influence the biological effect of biopolymers. Macromolecular collagen molecules can be reconstructed into collagen fibers in vitro, so that the collagen fibers have good cell compatibility and physiological functions of promoting platelet aggregation and the like; the gelatin has a slightly smaller molecular weight, can partially reconstruct the triple-helix structure of collagen molecules, and can be used for hemostasis; the collagen peptide with smaller molecular weight is complex in composition, and some special polypeptides play different roles. Literature research also finds that the collagen polypeptide with higher molecular weight shows the functions of stopping bleeding, promoting blood coagulation and promoting trauma healing in mouse animal experiments; and the collagen polypeptide with lower molecular weight has obvious promotion effect on scald repair. Therefore, the molecular weight and the distribution of the collagen are important related to the physiological functions of the collagen. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a reconstructed collagen having bioactivity of collagen and good water solubility and permeability aiming at the characteristics of skin and biopolymer.

Skin penetration test:
the weight of the mouse is 20 +/-2 g, and after the back hair is shaved, the hair is removed by depilatory cream; the reconstructed collagen solution which is prepared by the fluorescence labeling in the embodiment 1 of the invention is evenly smeared on the back skin tissue of the exposed mouse and is protected from light, the whole layer of skin tissue of 2cm multiplied by 2cm is taken down after the skin naturally absorbs for 1h and 2h under the room temperature condition, and is frozen by liquid nitrogen; the tissue is unfrozen and then placed under a two-photon scanning confocal microscope for image acquisition, the tissue is scanned in a full-layer z-axis manner, the step is carried out by 5 microns, and the condition of skin permeation of the mouse with the reconstructed collagen solution is observed. The tissue collagen SHG (second harmonic) imaging excitation wavelength is 950nm, a red mark is adopted, the reconstructed collagen two-photon fluorescence excitation wavelength is 750nm, and a blue mark is adopted. A control group (commercial recombinant collagen polypeptide, molecular weight 55 kDa), a negative control (PBS solution) and a positive control (fluorescent dye PBS dilution) were also set.
The experimental results are shown in FIG. 3, in which FIGS. 3-1 and 3-2 are respectively a negative control skin single-layer image and a full-layer image; FIGS. 3-3, 3-4 are positive control skin single-layer images and full-layer images, respectively; FIGS. 3-5 and 3-6 are the skin single-layer image and the full-layer image of the commercial recombinant collagen polypeptide reference sample, respectively; 3-7, 3-8 are respectively single-layer images and full-layer images of the skin of the reconstructed collagen smeared for 1h according to the invention; FIGS. 3-9 and 3-10 are single-layer images and full-layer images of the skin of 2h after the reconstructed collagen is smeared. As can be seen from fig. 3:
(1) the negative control only detects a red signal of the tissue collagen, the coated PBS solution does not detect an interference signal, and the skin accessories do not detect an interference signal, which indicates that the 750nm excitation detection two-photon fluorescence signal is not interfered;
(2) the positive control detects a blue fluorescence signal which is in the same layer with the tissue collagen red signal under the excitation light of 750nm, which indicates that the fluorescent dye PBS diluent as a positive control can enter the skin dermal collagen layer;
(3) the control sample had entered the collagen layer in the dermis of the skin after 1 hour of application, and only a small amount of the control sample floated on the epidermis layer;
(4) after the reconstructed collagen is smeared for 1 hour, only a small amount of the reconstructed collagen enters a collagen layer in the dermis of the skin, and most of the reconstructed collagen floats on the epidermis; after 2 hours of application, the collagen layer in the dermis of the skin gradually increased and partially floated on the epidermis. It is shown that the low molecular weight fraction of the collagen of the present invention is able to penetrate into the dermis layer of the skin, while the high molecular weight fraction remains on the skin surface after 2 hours of application.
