Lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional glycoprotein found abundantly in bovine colostrum, is known for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the wound healing and immunomodulatory effects of colostrum-derived exosome-encapsulated lactoferrin (EV-exoLF) on dermal fibroblasts. EV-exoLF was isolated and characterized via nanoparticle tracking analysis and flow cytometry. Functional assays demonstrated that EV-exoLF significantly promoted fibroblast viability and migration in both mouse NIH/3T3 and human HS-68 cell lines. Furthermore, EV-exoLF reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 and IL-6) and phosphorylated JNK in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated fibroblasts. These findings suggest that EV-exoLF not only enhances fibroblast-mediated wound closure but also mitigates inflammation, highlighting its therapeutic potential in skin regeneration. Colostrum-derived exosomal lactoferrin may serve as a promising natural, cell-free strategy for managing inflammatory skin conditions and improving wound healing outcomes.
乳铁蛋白(LF)是一种在牛初乳中大量存在的多功能糖蛋白,以其再生和抗炎特性而闻名。在本研究中,我们研究了初乳来源的外泌体包裹的乳铁蛋白(EV-exoLF)对真皮成纤维细胞的伤口愈合和免疫调节作用。通过纳米颗粒跟踪分析和流式细胞术对EV-exoLF进行了分离和表征。功能测定表明,EV-exoLF在小鼠NIH/3T3和人HS-68细胞系中均显著促进了成纤维细胞的活力和迁移。此外,EV-exoLF降低了脂多糖(LPS)处理的成纤维细胞中促炎细胞因子(IL-1和IL-6)的表达以及磷酸化JNK的水平。这些发现表明,EV-exoLF不仅增强了成纤维细胞介导的伤口闭合,还减轻了炎症,突出了其在皮肤再生中的治疗潜力。初乳来源的外泌体乳铁蛋白可能是一种有前途的天然、无细胞策略,用于管理炎症性皮肤病和改善伤口愈合效果。
