Synthesis of Leu-Cys-Cys-Gly-Arg-Gly-His-Arg-Thr-Arg-Thr-Gln-Arg (SEQ ID NO:1) and Other Peptides
[0085]700 mg of chloro trityl chloride resin (CTL resin, Nova Biochem Cat No. 01-64-0021) were introduced into a reactor, to which 10 ml of methylene chloride (MC) were added, followed by agitation for 3 min. After removing solution, 10 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) were added to the resultant and then agitation was carried out for 3 min, after which the solvent was removed. 10 ml of dichloromethane solution were added to the reactor and 200 mmole of Fmoc-Arg(pbf)-OH (Bachem, Swiss) and 400 mmole of DIEA (N,N′-diisopropyl ethylamine) were then added to the reactor, after which the mixture was dissolved by agitation and reaction was then undertaken with agitating for 1 hr. After washing, methanol and DIEA (2:1) dissolved in DCM (dichloromethane) were reacted with the resin for 10 min, and then the resultant was washed using excess of DCM / DMF (1:1). After removing the solution, 10 ml of DM...

Influence of Peptides on Cell Growth
[0086]In order to evaluate three peptides prepared in Preparation Examples 1-2 whether they have similar activities of growth factor, SRB (Sulforhodamine B; Sigma-Aldrich) colorimetric assay was carried out using HaCaT kerationcytes (Korean Cell Line Bank) and NIH3T3 fibroblasts (Korean Cell Line Bank) according to Rizzino et al. method (Rizzino, et al. Cancer Res., 48: 4266 (1988)).
[0087]HaCaT ketatinocytes, NIH3T3 fibroblasts, and HHFDPC hair follicle cells (cell science) were cultured in 250 ml-flasks containing DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's minimal essential media; Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum; Sigma). Cells cultured were treated with 1% trypsin solution to detach cells from the bottom of culture flasks and centrifuged to collect cell pellets. After cells were resuspended in DMEM not containing FBS, its aliquot (3×103 cells) was added to each well of 96-well plates and cultured under 5% CO2 for 24 hr at 37° C. ...

Influence of Peptides on Elevated Amount of Receptor and Signal Gene
[0090]HaCaT kerationcytes cultured for 48 hr were incubated with the peptides synthesized in preparation Example 1 for 5 hr. The phosphorylation level of LRP5, which is the receptor of WNT protein and expression level of β-catenin, which is the signal molecule of WNT protein were examined respectively. The amount of Phopho-LRP5 and β-catenin were measured by Western blot analysis using an antibody against Phopho-LRP5 (Cell signaling) and β-catenin (SantaCruz, USA). In addition, the expression level of LEF-1 transcription factor was also observed, which is enhanced by β-catenin. The peptide of the present invention significantly elevated the phosphorylation level of LRP5 (FIG. 4) and also significantly enhanced the expression level of β-catenin (FIG. 5a). First of all, it was shown that β-catenin activity is observed by treatment with the peptide of the present invention in spite of the presence of DKK-1 as a WNT inh...
