Abstract:
In this study, bovine collagen hydrolysate was purified via a series of chromatograms, and the peptides with the highest activity for promoting myoblast proliferation were identified by LC-MS-MS. It was demonstrated that the peptide GDAGPPGPAGPAGPPGPIG (hydroxylation) could promote C2C12 proliferation (+18.5% ± 0.04, P < 0.05). The certain peptide was capable of regulating the myogenic cell cycle and inhibiting myogenic cell apoptosis. By combining molecular docking, quantitative real-time PCR, and metabonomics, we suggested that the peptide GDAGPPGPAGPAGPPGPIG (hydroxylation) might bind to FGFR1 and affect the expression of genes downstream of FGFR1 and influence protein synthesis to promote myoblast proliferation. The above results showed that the peptides isolated in this study have the potential to alleviate sarcopenia in the elderly.
