Article Description

Collagen, as the main component of human skin, plays a vital role in maintaining dermal integrity. Its loss will lead to dermis destruction and collapse, resulting in skin aging. At present, injection of exogenous collagen is an important means to delay skin aging. In this study, high-purity collagen was extracted from porcine skin. Our research revealed that it can effectively promote the adhesion and chemotaxis of HSF cells. It can also reduce the expression of β-galactosidase, decrease ROS levels, and increase the expression of the collagen precursors, p53 and p16 in HSF cells during senescence. After local injection into the aging skin of rats, it was found that the number of cells and type I collagen fibers in the dermis increased significantly, and the arrangement of these fibers became more uniform and orderly. Moreover, the important thing is that it is biocompatible. To sum up, the porcine skin collagen we extracted is an anti-aging biomaterial with application potential.
