Peptide for skin regeneration or wound treatment and use thereof
The present invention relates to a peptide for skin regeneration or wound healing and a use thereof. The novel peptide according to the present invention not only promotes the wound healing by increasing the production amount of collagen in dermal fibroblasts but also has an excellent whitening effect by inhibiting the production amount of melanin and tyrosinase activity of melanoma cells, and consists of peptides having a very small size to minimize side effects according to administration of external substances of very small peptides. As a result, it is expected that the novel peptide can be used as an active substance that can replace existing skin regeneration or would therapeutic agents.
1. A peptide selected from the group consisting of the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the N- or C-terminal of the peptide is attached to a protective group selected from the group consisting of an acetyl group, a fluorenylmethoxy carbonyl group, a formyl group, a palmitoyl group, a myristyl group, a stearyl group or a polyethylene glycol (PEG) group.
2. A method for skin regeneration or wound healing, comprising the step of administering a composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of a peptide selected from the group consisting of the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2, or a polynucleotide encoding the peptide as an active ingredient to a subject or subject having a wound.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the N- or C-terminal of the peptide is attached to a protective group selected from the group consisting of an acetyl group, a fluorenylmethoxy carbonyl group, a formyl group, a palmitoyl group, a myristyl group, a stearyl group or a polyethylene glycol (PEG) group.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the peptide is contained at a concentration of 1 to 500 ng/ml.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wound is a gash.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
7. A method for improving skin aging or wound healing, comprising the step of administering a composition comprising a cosmetically effective amount of a peptide selected from the group consisting of the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2 or a polynucleotide encoding the peptide as an active ingredient to a subject or subject having wound.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the composition is in the form of suspension, emulsion, paste, gel, cream, lotion, powder, wax or spray.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the composition has a skin whitening activity.
