Fish-derived collagen has recently emerged as an alternative collagen source with bioactive properties, including the enhancement of hair and skin health. It is also cost-effective and has high bioavailability, in addition to having fewer side-effects compared to collagen from porcine skin or bovine skin. Collagen peptides (CPs) extracted from the scales of Mozambique tilapia () reportedly promote hair and skin health. This study sought to evaluate the effects of CPs on hair growth using in vitro and in vivo models. CP significantly enhanced hair regrowth and the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) in vitro. CP was orally administered to C57BL/6 mice for 6 weeks to confirm the hair-growth-promoting effects. The mice were divided into four groups: negative control (distilled water), positive control (1 mg/kg of finasteride), CP500 (500 mg/kg of CP), and CP1000 (1000 mg/kg of CP). CP treatment significantly enhanced the proliferation of hDPCs compared to 0.2 μM finasteride, in addition to enhancing hair regrowth. Particularly, CP1000 treatment achieved a hair-growth index similar to that of the PC. In H&E staining, the CP groups exhibited a high A/T ratio. Furthermore, CP increased the expression of hair growth factors (IGF-1, VEGF, krt27, Gprc5d, and Ki67) and decreased the growth inhibitory factor (TGF-β1). Furthermore, CP significantly upregulated the Wnt/β-catenin pathways and downregulated the BMP pathways. Therefore, these results indicate that CP could be used as food supplements and nutraceuticals for hair loss prevention as well as hair regrowth during alopecia.
鱼源胶原蛋白是一种具有生物活性的新型胶原蛋白来源,具有增强头发和皮肤健康的作用。与猪皮或牛皮来源的胶原蛋白相比,它的成本效益高、生物利用度高,且副作用较少。从莫桑比克罗非鱼鳞片中提取的胶原蛋白肽(CP)据称可促进头发和皮肤健康。本研究旨在通过体外和体内模型评估 CP 对毛发生长的影响。CP 显著促进了体外人真皮乳头细胞(hDPC)的毛发再生和增殖。CP 经口给予 C57BL/6 小鼠 6 周,以确认其促毛发生长作用。将小鼠分为四组:阴性对照组(蒸馏水)、阳性对照组(1mg/kg 非那雄胺)、CP500 组(500mg/kg CP)和 CP1000 组(1000mg/kg CP)。CP 处理组与 0.2μM 非那雄胺相比,hDPC 增殖显著增强,毛发生长也得到增强。特别是 CP1000 处理组的毛发生长指数与阳性对照组相似。在 H&E 染色中,CP 组的 A/T 比值较高。此外,CP 增加了毛发生长因子(IGF-1、VEGF、krt27、Gprc5d 和 Ki67)的表达,降低了生长抑制因子(TGF-β1)的表达。此外,CP 显著上调了 Wnt/β-catenin 通路,下调了 BMP 通路。因此,这些结果表明 CP 可作为脱发预防和脱发期间毛发生长的食品补充剂和营养保健品。
