Stem cell activities in human tissues are critical for tissue integrity and function. Maintaining keratinocyte stem cells (KSCs) stemness helps sustain healthy skin by supporting keratinocyte renewal, involving the formation of epidermal barriers. In this study, abalone collagen (AC) extracts with molecular weights of 3 kDa (AC 1) and 300 kDa (AC 2) were compared to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) for their effects on cell proliferation, cell migration (wound healing), spheroid formation, and the expression level of stem cell markers on human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). Cell viability was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cell proliferation was quantified by ATP and DNA content analysis and Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays. Cell migration assay was determined using the scratch wound healing test. Spheroid formation was evaluated and the expression level of stem cell markers was investigated by western blot analysis. The results showed that AC 1 at the concentration of 100 µg/mL could stimulate HaCaT cell proliferation, migration, spheroid formation, and the expression level of stem cell markers (keratin 19, β-catenin, ALDH1A1) compared to the control. In conclusion, a smaller molecular weight of abalone collagen extract exhibits a better effect on keratinocytes proliferation, migration, and stemness, which could be a potential active ingredient in cosmeceutical products.

Citrus sudachi is a well-known fruit in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, and its peels are rich in phytochemicals, including phenolic compounds. Although it is expected that the extract of the C. sudachi peel elicits various beneficial physiological activities, the effect on the skin has not been investigated. In this study, we report that the aqueous extract from the peel of C. sudachi suppresses cell proliferation of the immortalized human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT, and primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes. The extract of C. sudachi peel suppressed epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced EGF receptor activation and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 activation, which suggests that the extract exerts its inhibitory effect through inhibition of both the EGF receptor (EGFR) and its downstream molecules. Additionally, the extract of C. sudachi peel potentiated calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation. These results suggest that the extract of C. sudachi peel may have beneficial effects against skin diseases that are characterized by hyperproliferation of epidermal keratinocytes, such as those seen in psoriasis and in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important for the pathogenesis of psoriasis and other autoimmune disorders. In the extracellular matrix, accumulation of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 17A (IL-17A), leads to induction of several MMPs, including MMP1. MMPs change the composition and other properties of the extracellular matrix. These changes facilitate tissue remodeling and promote the development of psoriatic plaques. The aim of this study was to explore how MMP1 silencing might influence the biological effects of IL-17A on migration and proliferation of human epidermal keratinocytes and the expression of genes involved in their division and differentiation. The experiments were performed with MMP1-deficient and control epidermal keratinocytes, HaCaT-MMP1 and HaCaT-KTR, respectively. Cell proliferation and migration were assessed by comparative analysis of the growth curves and scratch assay, respectively. To quantify cell migration, representative areas of cell cultures were photographed at the indicated time points and compared to each other. Changes in gene expression were analyzed by real-time PCR. The obtained results demonstrated that MMP1 silencing in the cells treated with IL-17A resulted in downregulation of MMP9 and -12, FOSL1, CCNA2, IVL, KRT14 and -17 as well as upregulation of MMP2, CCND1 and LOR. Moreover, MMP1 silencing led to a decrease in cell proliferation and an impairment of cell migration. Thus, MMP1-deficiency in epidermal keratinocytes can be beneficial for psoriasis patients that experience an accumulation of IL-17 in lesional skin. Knocking MMP1 down could influence migration and proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes in vivo, as well as help to control the expression of MMP1, -2, -9 и -12, CCNA2, CCND1, KRT14 and -17 that are crucial for the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
