Abstract

In the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, diverse cell types are reconstituted during the wound healing process. Delays or failures in wound healing are a major issue in skin therapy because they prevent the normal structure and function of wounded tissue from being restored, resulting in ulceration or other skin abnormalities. Human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCAT) cells are a spontaneously immortalized human keratinocyte cell line capable of secreting many bioactive chemicals (a secretome) that stimulate skin cell proliferation, rejuvenation, and regeneration. In this study, the HaCaT secretome was encapsulated with polyesters such as poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and cassava starch in an effort to maximize its potential. According to the estimated mechanism of the HaCaT secretome, all treatments were conducted on immortalized dermal fibroblast cell lines, a model of wound healing. Encapsulation of HaCaT secretome and cassava starch enhanced the effectiveness of cell proliferation, migration, and anti-aging. On the other hand, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were lowered, activating antioxidants in immortalized dermal fibroblast cells. The HaCaT secretome induced in a dose-dependent manner the expression of antioxidant-associated genes, including SOD, CAT, and GPX. Six cytokines, including CCL2 and MCP-1, influenced immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes in cultured HaCAT cells. HaCaT secretome encapsulated in cassava starch can reduce ROS buildup by boosting antioxidant to stimulate wound healing. Hence, the HaCaT secretome may have a new chance in the cosmetics business to develop components for wound prevention and healing.
