Abstract

Skin aging appears to be principally attributed to a decrease in both levels of Type I collagen and regeneration ability of dermal fibroblasts. It is important to introduce an efficient and safe agent for effective management of skin aging. To this end, we performed screening for anti-ageing agents and then found that vegetable peptones (pea and wheat) promoted cell proliferation of adult stem cells. Vegetable peptones may be considered as useful medium additives because it can supply nutrients, peptides, amino acids or growth factor analogues. This study was designed to investigate effects of vegetable peptones on cell proliferation/collagen production and their possible mechanisms in human dermal fibroblasts. In cell proliferation assay, vegetable peptones significantly promoted cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, human COL1A2 promoter luciferase and type I procollagen synthesis assays showed that vegetable peptones induce type I procollagen production through the activation of COLlA2 promoter. In both TGF-${\beta}1$ luciferase reporter and ELISA assays, vegetable peptones was found to induce TGF-${\beta}1$ production, suggesting that vegetable peptones induce type I procollagen production through the activation of TGF-${\beta}1$. When applied topically in a human skin twice a day for an 4-week period of time, vegetable peptones did not induce any adverse reactions. Theretore, based on these results, we suggest the possibility that vegetable peptones may be considered as an attractive, wrinkle-reducing candidate for topical application.

피부노화의 주요 원인으로는 타입 I 콜라겐 생합성 저하 및 피부 진피세포의 증식 활성 감소를 들 수 있다. 효과적으로 피부노화를 관리하기 위해서는 안전하면서도 효능이 우수한 소재를 찾는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구진은 항노화소재를 스크리닝하였고, 완두콩과 밀 펩톤이 성체줄기세포의 세포증식을 증가시키는 효능을 관찰하였다. 완두콩과 밀 펩톤을 포함하는 식물성 펩톤은 다양한 크기의 펩타이드와 아미노산을 함유하고 있어 세포배양 시 첨가해 주면 영양공급원이나 growth tactor로 세포 성장과 활성을 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 인간 진피섬유아세포를 이용하여 완두콩과 밀 펩톤이 세포증식 및 콜라겐합성에 미치는 영향과 이들의 작용기전을 규명하고자 하였다. 세포증식 실험에서 완두콩과 밀 펩톤은 유의성 있게 농도 의존적으로 세포증식을 유도하였다. 또한 인간 COL1A2 프로모터 루시퍼라아제와 타입 I 프로콜라겐 생합성 실험에서 완두콩 및 밀 펩톤이 COL1A2 프로모터의 활성화를 통해 타입 I 프로콜라겐 생합성을 촉진시키고 있음을 확인하였다. TGF-${\beta}1$ 루시퍼라아제 리포터 실험과 TGF-${\beta}1$ ELISA 실험에서는 완두콩 및 밀 펩톤이 TGF-${\beta}1$ 유전자의 발현을 촉진한다는 사실을 관찰하였고, 이러한 결과를 통해 완두콩 및 밀 펩톤의 콜라겐 생합성 촉진 기전이 TGF-${\beta}$ 신호와 관련이 있음을 제시하였다. 즉 완두콩 및 밀 펩톤은 TGF-${\beta}1$의 발현촉진을 통해 콜라겐 생합성을 유도함을 유추할 수 있다. 완두콩과 밀 펩톤을 포함한 로션을 인체피부에 주 동안 도포하여 피부자극을 관찰한 결과, 어떠한 부작용도 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때 완두콩 및 밀 펩톤이 피부자극이 없으며 피부주름을 개선시킬 수 있는 소재로 사용가능할 것으로 기대된다.
