Jellyfish grow rapidly and have a strong regenerative ability, indicating that they may express high levels of growth factors. Therefore, the aim of this research was to isolate the growth-promoting components from the jellyfishCyanea capillata(C. capillata) and to further explore the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we first isolated and identified a novel polypeptide fromC. capillatatentacles using size-exclusion chromatography followed by reverse-phase HPLC. This peptide, consisting of 58 amino acids (MW 5782.9 Da), belonged to the granulin (GRN) family of growth factors; thus, we named itCyanea capillatagranulin-1 (CcGRN-1). Second, using CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, we verified thatCcGRN-1 at the 0.5 μg/ml concentration could promote cell proliferation and increase the expression of cell-cycle proteins (CyclinB1 and CyclinD1). Third, signaling pathways studies showed thatCcGRN-1 could activate the PI3K/Akt- and ERK1/2 MAPK–signaling pathways but not the JNK MAPK- or NF-κB-signaling pathways. Subsequently, we further confirmed that theCcGRN-1-induced cell proliferation and migration were associated only with the ERK1/2 MAPK–signaling pathway. Considering all of these factors,CcGRN-1, as the first jellyfish-derived GRN homologue, possesses growth-promoting properties and may be a candidate for novel therapeutics to promote human wound healing in unfavorable conditions.
