The physicochemical and in vitro mechanism of immunologic tolerance of pepsin-soluble collagen and its peptide, CII-P, from blue shark cartilage were studied. Protein patterns showed three identical (α1)3 chains, suggesting that it was a type-II collagen (CII). CII-P had high antioxidant activity and low carbohydrate content. Collagens had better biocompatibility with decreased the viability of 6T-CEM cell compared to control cells (without collagen). Immunological indices such as FAS/APO-1, cytokine, and caspase levels were higher in CII-treated 6T-CEM cells. Collagen bound to 6T-CEM cell receptors in a dose-dependent manner, and an optimum effect was observed with 10μg/mL collagen. The high carbohydrate content of CII could activate the FAS receptor, which led to increased apoptotic gene expression in 6T-CEM cells. Breakdown of 6T-CEM cell nuclei through the induction of apoptosis by CII was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. Collagen molecular weight and glycosylation patterns were crucial factors for immunologic tolerance and 6T-CEM cellular apoptosis.
