Collagen membranes loaded with collagen-binding human PDGF-BB accelerate wound healing in a rabbit dermal ischemic ulcer model

Growth Factors. 2007 Oct;25(5):309-18. doi: 10.1080/08977190701803885.

Abstract

Studies have shown that exogenous platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) could accelerate the ulcer healing, but the lack of efficient growth factor delivery system limits its clinical application. Our previous work has demonstrated that the native human PDGF-BB was added a collagen-binding domain (CBD), TKKTLRT, to develop a collagen-based PDGF targeting delivery system. Here, we showed that this CBD-fused PDGF-BB (CBD-PDGF) could bind to collagen membrane efficiently. We used the rabbit dermal ischemic ulcer model to study the effects of CBD-PDGF loaded on collagen membranes. Results revealed that this system maintained a higher concentration and stronger bioactivity of PDGF-BB on the collagen membranes and promoted the re-epithelialization of dermal ulcer wounds, the collagen deposition, and the formation of capillary lumens within the newly formed tissue area. It demonstrated that collagen membranes loaded with collagen-targeting human PDGF-BB could effectively promote ulcer healing.
