Abstract

Collagen and its peptides exhibit remarkable antioxidant activity, superior biocompatibility, and water solubility, making them a significant research focus in skin care. Hence, the recombinant humanized collagen types I, III, and XVII complexed with niacinamide were developed to address damage in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF-1) caused by ultraviolet radiation and to evaluate basement membrane proteins in a rat skin model. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay showed that higher concentrations of the complex increased the survival of damaged cells by approximately 10% and 22%, respectively, compared to the normal group after 16 and 48 h of treatment. Further biochemical analyses using ELISA and immunofluorescence (IF) confirmed that the complex enhanced the expression of collagen type IV, laminin, P63, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the damaged cells. Additionally, the complex boosted the activity of the basement membrane in rat skin and stimulated the secretion of integrin, laminin, and perlecan. Overall, the recombinant humanized collagen complex effectively reinforced the skin's basement membrane.
