ABSTRACT: Background
Human dermal fibroblasts secrete numerous growth factors and proteins that have been suggested to promote wound repair and hair regeneration.Methods
Human dermal fibroblast-conditioned medium (DFCM) was prepared, and proteomic analysis was performed. Secretory proteins in DFCM were identified using 1-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, in-gel trypsin protein digestion, and quantitative liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Identified proteins were analyzed using bioinformatic methods for the classification and evaluation of protein-protein interactions.Results
Using LC-MS/MS, 337 proteins were identified in DFCM. Among them, 160 proteins were associated with wound repair, and 57 proteins were associated with hair regeneration. Protein-protein interaction network analysis of 160 DFCM proteins for wound repair at the highest confidence score (0.9) revealed that 110 proteins were grouped into seven distinctive interaction networks. Additionally, protein-protein interaction network analysis of 57 proteins for hair regeneration at the highest confidence score revealed that 29 proteins were grouped into five distinctive interaction networks. The identified DFCM proteins were associated with several pathways for wound repair and hair regeneration, including epidermal growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor, integrin, Wnt, cadherin, and transforming growth factor-β signaling pathways.Conclusion
DFCM contains numerous secretory proteins that comprise groups of protein-protein interaction networks that regulate wound repair and hair regeneration.
