ABSTRACT
Ethnopharmacological relevance Pearl oyster (Pinctada martensii) is used in Chinese traditional medicine use in photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and wound treatment.Aim of the study This study explored whether the mucus protein of Pearl oyster (protein of Pinctada martensii, PMP) affects human skin fibroblast (HSF) proliferation, migration, collagen-related gene expression related to collagen formation, and in vivo healing effects. Materials and methods:
The PMP component was analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The cell viability was evaluated using a CCK-8 kit. The expression genes were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. A full-thickness excisional wounding model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was used to test the repairing effect of PMP in vivo, and Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) and Masson's Trichrome staining were applied to evaluate skin structure.Results:
The components of PMP were identified using LC-MS/MS proteomics, and a total of 3023 proteins were detected. The results of PMP-treated HSF showed that PMP effectively promoted cell proliferation by 1.6-fold and cell migration by 1.5-fold at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Additionally, PMP treatment up-regulated the expression levels of collagen-related genes COL1A1, COL3A1, and MMP-1 in fibroblasts. Furthermore, PMP was applied in the therapy of full-thickness excisional wounds in rats. The results demonstrated that PMP significantly accelerated wound healing time, resulted in the recovery of dermal and epithelial thickness, and stimulated collagen regeneration. The regenerated skin closely resembled the structure of normal skin.Conclusions:
These findings provide solid evidence supporting the potential of PMP as a promising candidate for the treatment of skin wounds.
