The Effects Of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Conditioned Media Produced With Fetal Bovine Serum Or Human Platelet Lysate On Skin Rejuvenation Characteristics

Background and Objectives: Human mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) is produced using mesenchymal stem cell culture technology and has various benefits for the skin, including wrinkle removal, skin regeneration, and increased antioxidant activity. Its popularity is thus increasing in the field of functional cosmetics.Methods and Results: In this study, we analyzed the effects of fetal bovine serum-supplemented MSC-CM (FBS-MSCCM) and human platelet lysate-supplemented MSC-CM (hPL-MSC-CM) on skin rejuvenation characteristics. We found that the centrations of important growth factors (VEGF, TGF-beta 1, and HGF) and secretory proteins for skin regeneration were significantly higher in hPL-MSC-CM than in FBS-MSC-CM. Furthermore, the capacity for inducing proliferation of human dermal fibroblast (HDF) and keratinocytes, the migration ability of HDF, extracellular matrix (ECM) production such as collagen and elastin was higher in hPL-MSC-CM than that in FBS-MSCCM.Conclusions: These results support the usefulness and high economic value of hPL-MSC-CM as an alternative source of FBS-MSC-CM in the cosmetic industry for skin rejuvenation.
