Growth factors‐based platelet lysate rejuvenates skin against ageing through NF‐κB signalling pathway: In vitro and in vivo mechanistic and clinical studies

Abstract

Introduction Platelets benefit tissue regeneration by secreting growth factors, and platelet products, for example, platelet lysate (PL), have been clinically applied for tissue rejuvenation. To determine the anti‐ageing efficacy and mechanism of human PL (hPL) on skin, this study conducted clinical retrospective analysis, nude mice‐based in vivo study and human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs)‐based in vitro study. Methods Flow cytometry was employed for quality control of hPL, and ELISA was used for quantification of growth factors (EGF, IGF‐1, PDGF and TGF‐β) in hPL. After d ‐galactose modelling, skin texture grading, histopathological observation, immunofluorescence analysis and oxidative stress assays were conducted on nude mice, while SA‐β‐gal staining, CCK‐8 and wound healing assays were conducted on HDFs. qPCR and western blot were conducted to clarify hPL's mechanism. Results The clinical retrospective data showed that hPL obviously rejuvenated human skin appearances without adverse events. The animal data showed that hPL exerted rejuvenative effects on skin, and the cellular data showed that hPL significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of HDFs and suppressed senescence‐associated secretory protein secretion and senescence state of senescent HDFs by suppressing NF‐κB pathway. The NF‐κB‐dependent mechanism was verified positively by using P65 siRNA and negatively by using prostratin. Furthermore, EGF, IGF‐1, PDGF and TGF‐β were found as the main ingredients in hPL, which contributed to the efficacy and mechanism of hPL. Conclusion This study provided novel knowledge of hPL, making it ideal for skin rejuvenation.

Mechanism and inhibitory effects of cactus (Opuntia dillenii) extract on melanocytes and its potential application for whitening cosmetics

“…The reepithelialization, angiogenesis, and fibroplasia are the main and leading events that happen during this phase 29 . Macrophage-released cytokines, for example, the TGF-β, FGF, and vascular EGF (VEGF) will promote angiogenesis and modulate endothelial cell proliferation 30 . VEGF and receptors play a vital role in regulating angiogenesis and vascular permeability 31 .…”

Engineering a platelet-rich plasma-based multifunctional injectable hydrogel with photothermal, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties for skin regeneration

“…26,27 These factors interact with the local environment to accelerate cell proliferation and differentiation, thus promoting angiogenesis and reepithelialization through extracellular matrix synthesis and mesenchymal cell recruitment. 28 However, the application of PRP in wound healing is limited due to its short half-life, burst release, and high cost of synthesis. 29,30 Therefore, addressing how to reduce burst release, retain activity, and design a cost-effective method is crucial when using PRPbased tissue engineering.…”

7-Hydroxyflavone Alleviates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats by Regulating Inflammation

“…The accumulating evidence demonstrates that MI/RI causes myocardial oxidative stress and inflammation, which could eventually trigger apoptosis in the cardiomyocytes [ 6 ]. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways are involved in the above process of MI/RI [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Inflammation might be a significant factor in the whole pathophysiological progression of MI/RI [ 10 ].…”
