Provided is a peptide, which has an anti-inflammatory activity and an activity for promoting osteogenic differentiation, formed from the amino acid sequence selected from the group comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, and SEQ ID NO: 3. And provided is a peptide, which has a hair growth promoting activity, formed from the amino acid sequence selected from the group comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2. A peptide formed from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, or SEQ ID NO: 3, according to the present invention, consequently shows an anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting an inflammatory cytokine expression and proliferation of inflammatory cells, and consequently promotes osteogenic differentiation by increasing phosphorylation of PI3K, Smad1, Smad5 and Smad8, which contribute to osteogenesis, and by increasing ALP, OPG and BSP expressions. And a peptide formed from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2, according to the present invention, consequently shows efficacy for preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth by promoting proliferation of hair follicle cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, increasing phosphorylation of EPK, increasing expressions of PI3K, &#x3b2;-catenin, IGF-1, KGF and Wnt3a which are proteins that contribute to hair growth, and reducing an expression of DKK-1 which is a hairless gene.

Peptide having anti-inflammatory, osteogenic and hair growth promoting activities, and use of same

A peptide which is formed from an amino acid sequence selected from the group comprising amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO: 3, according to the present invention, has osteoclast differentiation and activation inhibition and is highly effective for preventing or treating bone diseases related to the destruction of the bone. A peptide, according to the present invention, reduces expression of cathepsin K and TRAP related to osteoclast differentiation, inhibits nuclear translocation of NF-kB, and ultimately inhibits osteoclast differentiation. Provided is a composition, for preventing or treating bone diseases, comprising the peptide.

Peptide having osteoclast differentiation and activation inhibition, and use of same

A peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2, according to the present invention, shows proliferation and differentiation promotion of osteoblast and proliferation and activation promotion of periodontal ligament fibroblast. A peptide, according to the present invention, increases BMP signaling such as SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation and increases the growth of osteoblast and the expression of a differentiation marker such as COL1A1, BSP and ALP, thereby ultimately showing osteoblast activation. A peptide, according to the present invention, promotes the growth of periodontal ligament fibroblast by means of PI3K and Akt phosphorylation and increases the expression of an activation marker such as COL1A1 and DSPP, thereby ultimately showing periodontal tissue regeneration activation. Provided are a composition for preventing or treating bone diseases and a composition for preventing or treating periodontal diseases, the compositions comprising the aforementioned peptide.

Peptide having osteoblast proliferation activity and periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation activity, and use of same

The peptide of the present invention performs a function, which is the same as or similar to that of natural interleukin (IL)-3, and has superior skin permeability due to the small size thereof. In addition, the peptide of the present invention suppresses the activation of NF-&#x3ba;B and nuclear transition by inhibiting the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-RANK signaling pathway, and suppresses the expression of a RANKL or an inflammatory cytokine-induced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), cathepsin K, or TNF receptor type 1 or type 2, thereby inhibiting osteoclast differentiation depending on the treatment concentration. Moreover, the peptide of the present invention can contribute to osteoblast differentiation by promoting the expression of osteoblast differentiation markers such as osteocalcin (CON), osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone sialoprotein (BSP), or osteopontin (OPN). Therefore, the superior activity and stability of the peptide of the present invention are useful for medicines, sanitary aids, or cosmetics.
