Marine collagen (MC) has recently attracted more attention in tissue engineering as a biomaterial substitute due to its significant role in cellular signaling mechanisms, especially in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the actual signaling mechanism of MC in MSC growth, which is highly influenced by their molecular pattern, is poorly understood. Hence, we investigated the integrin receptors (α 1 β 1 , α 2 β 1 , α 10 β 1 , and α 11 β 1 ) binding mechanism and proliferation of MCs (blacktip reef shark collagen (BSC) and blue shark collagen (SC)) compared to bovine collagen (BC) on MSCs behavior through functionalized collagen molecule probing for the first time. The results showed that BSC and SC had higher proliferation rates and accelerated scratch wound healing by increasing migratory rates of MSCs. Cell adhesion and spreading results demonstrated that MC had a better capacity to anchor MSCs and maintain cell morphology than controls. Living cell observations showed that BSC was gradually assembled by cells into the ECM network within 24 h. Interestingly, qRT-PCR and ELISA revealed that the proliferative effect of MC was triggered by interacting with specific integrin receptors such as α 2 β 1 , α 10 β 1 , and α 11 β 1 of MSCs. Accordingly, BSC accelerated MSCs' growth, adhesion, shape, and spreading by interacting with specific integrin subunits (α 2 and β 1 ) and thereby triggering further signaling cascade mechanisms.
