Egg white peptides are well known for their abundant species and biological properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of egg white peptides on skin wound healing. We hydrolyzed the egg white powder using Alcalase and flavourzyme. Our transwell cell migration assay data showed that EWP2, which is one of the four fractions obtained from Sephadex G-15 isolation, promoted human skin fibroblast HSF cells migration. LC-MS/MS analysis results showed EWP2 were consist of 24 high abundant peptides. We randomly chose and synthesized four of these 24 peptides. Transwell assay data displayed that the egg white peptide KPHAEVVLR (KR-9) increased 8.2-fold of HSF cells migration at 200 mu M compared with control. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-splfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay results showed KR-9 did not lead to HSF cells over-proliferation. In vivo animal experiment data proved that KR-9 accelerated 50 % and 136 % mice skin wound healing rate at 50 mu M and 100 mu M. Furthermore, we explored the mechanism of KR-9. Our western blot and immunofluorescence results showed KR-9 enhanced the protein level of cell membrane heat shock protein 90 alpha (Hsp90 alpha). Thus, we conclude that egg white peptide KR-9 promotes skin fibroblasts migration and mice skin wound healing by stimulating cell membrane Hsp90 alpha secretion.
