Identification of a human type XVII collagen fragment with high capacity for maintaining skin health

Collagen XVII (COL17) is a transmembrane protein that mediates skin homeostasis. Due to expression of full length collagen was hard to achieve in microorganisms, arising the needs for selection of collagen fragments with desired functions for microbial biosynthesis. Here, COL17 fragments (27–33 amin...

description Collagen XVII (COL17) is a transmembrane protein that mediates skin homeostasis. Due to expression of full length collagen was hard to achieve in microorganisms, arising the needs for selection of collagen fragments with desired functions for microbial biosynthesis. Here, COL17 fragments (27–33 amino acids) were extracted and replicated 16 times for recombinant expression in Escherichia coli. Five variants were soluble expressed, with the highest yield of 223 mg/L. The fusion tag was removed for biochemical and biophysical characterization. Circular dichroism results suggested one variant (sample-1707) with a triple-helix structure at >37 °C. Sample-1707 can assemble into nanofiber (width, 5.6 nm) and form hydrogel at 3 mg/mL. Sample-1707 was shown to induce blood clotting and promote osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, sample-1707 exhibited high capacity to induce mouse hair follicle stem cells differentiation and osteoblast migration, demonstrating a high capacity to induce skin cell regeneration and promote wound healing. A strong hydrogel was prepared from a chitosan and sample-1707 complex with a swelling rate of >30 % higher than simply using chitosan. Fed-batch fermentation of sample-1707 with a 5-L bioreactor obtained a yield of 600 mg/L. These results support the large-scale production of sample-1707 as a biomaterial for use in the skin care industry.
