Granulation tissue has supporting and filling functions in wound healing. The collagen produced by fibroblast acts as a cell scaffold in the granulation tissue to facilitate the formation of new blood vessels and epithelial coverage. Previously, we extracted protein components from the pilose antler that was involved in the biological process of collagen fibril organization. They were also found to contain abundant extracellular matrix(ECM) components. Therefore, in this experiment, we used a rat model of full-thickness skin excision and fibroblasts to perform an experiment for determination of the effects of pilose antler protein extract (PAE) on collagen content and fiber synthesis during wound healing. Additionally, we further analyzed its pharmacological effects on wound healing and the possible regulatory mechanisms. We found that PAE accelerated synthesis of type I and III collagen, promoted the formation of type III collagen fibers, and reduced collagen degradation by recruiting fibroblasts. Furthermore, the extract upregulated the expression of TGF β R1 and Smad2, and initiated the entry of Smad2/Smad3 into the nucleus. After adding SB431542 to inhibit TGF-β type I receptor activity, PAE's ability to promote Smad2/Smad3 nuclear localization was weakened. These data indicate that local PAE therapy can promote the proliferation of fibroblasts, dynamically regulate the expression of TGF-β, and increase the amount of collagen and the synthesis of type III collagen fibers by promoting smad2 activity in the proliferation period, thus accelerating the regenerative healing of wounds.

D014945 Wound Healing Restoration of integrity to traumatized tissue. Healing, Wound,Healings, Wound,Wound Healings
D016212 Transforming Growth Factor beta A factor synthesized in a wide variety of tissues. It acts synergistically with TGF-alpha in inducing phenotypic transformation and can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor. TGF-beta has a potential role in embryonal development, cellular differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function. TGF-beta is found mostly as homodimer forms of separate gene products TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 or TGF-beta3. Heterodimers composed of TGF-beta1 and 2 (TGF-beta1.2) or of TGF-beta2 and 3 (TGF-beta2.3) have been isolated. The TGF-beta proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins.

D024042 Collagen Type I The most common form of fibrillar collagen. It is a major constituent of bone (BONE AND BONES) and SKIN and consists of a heterotrimer of two alpha1(I) and one alpha2(I) chains. Type 1 Collagen,Type I Collagen,Collagen, Type 1,Collagen, Type I
D024061 Collagen Type III A fibrillar collagen consisting of three identical alpha1(III) chains that is widely distributed in many tissues containing COLLAGEN TYPE I.
