Abstract: | Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays a critical role in neuronal development and regeneration. However, the lack of efficient NGF delivery system limits its clinical application. We reported that a peptide deduced from collagenase, TKKTLRT, fused with NGF-beta could develop a collagen based NGF targeting delivery system. Our results showed that this peptide could allow fused NGF-beta bind to collagen specifically. In addition, we found that the polypeptide could result in a 2.3-fold increase in the expression level and a significant improvement of bioactivity of fused NGF-beta. In the in vivo function study, collagen membranes loaded with the collagen binding NGF enhanced the nerve growth. Thus, the targeting wound repair system could be important for the repair of peripheral nerve injury. |
