Rich in growth factors丨Study on Quantitative Detection of Growth Factors in SIS Materials

by

SIS biomaterials with independent intellectual property rights, the main components include Collagen I, III, fibronectin and a variety of growth factors (TGF-β, VEGF and FGF, etc.). Growth factors are cell factor secreted by a variety of cells, acting on specific target cells, regulating cell division, matrix synthesis and tissue differentiation, and contributing to the enhancement of cell function and the formation of vascularization.

This paper focuses on the quantitative detection of three growth factors (TGF-β, VEGF and FGF) in SIS materials, and the detection results are obtained by two experimental methods. The article was published in the journal Materials Science in May 2018. The following are excerpts.

Introduction to growth factors

TGF-β, a rich bone matrix protein, is also a peptide anti-inflammatory growth factor. It is widely present in normal tissues and transformed cells, and has a high content in platelets and bone tissue. It plays an extremely important role in bone formation and bone remodeling. Immune regulation can be carried out by controlling the proliferation, differentiation and activation of immune cells (T cells, B cells, etc.) to promote wound healing and vascular growth.

VEGF, a vascular-derived growth factor with high specificity to vascular endothelial cells, is synthesized and secreted by platelets, vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, osteoblasts or tumor cells, etc. It is essential for the formation of new blood vessels, has functions such as increasing vascular permeability and promoting endothelial cell proliferation, and also has the effect of protecting nerves.

FGF, a group of polypeptides with similar structural characteristics, is widely present in body tissues, has a strong role in promoting cell division and proliferation, and can induce the formation of capillaries.

Introduction to extraction method

Method 1: Weigh 5mg of the crushed SIS material, add 1mL of Buffer 1, homogenize at high speed and low temperature for 20-30min until the liquid becomes a colloid, centrifuge at 14,000rpm for 30min, extract the supernatant, dilute to 1mL, and store at 4℃.

Method 2: Weigh 5mg of the crushed SIS material, add 1mL of Buffer1, homogenize at high speed and low temperature for 20-30min until the liquid becomes colloidal, stir at a constant speed at 4℃ for 24h, centrifuge at 14,000rpm for 30min, extract the supernatant, dilute to 1 mL, and store at 4℃.

ELISA detection method

Double Antibody Sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA) was used for TGFβ1 and VEGF, and Competitive Inhibition ELISA was used for FGF2.

The samples treated by the two methods were operated according to the instructions of the ELISA kit, and the operation steps were as follows (taking TGFβ1 as an example):

1) Add sample: set Standard well, Sample well, Blank well respectively, add 100μL of standards and samples of different concentrations in turn, add standard buffer to Blank well. Cover plate and incubate at 37℃ for 1h after. Remove the liquid and spin dry;

2) Add 100μL of detection solution A working solution to each well, incubate at 37℃ for 1h, remove the liquid, wash each well with 350μL of washing solution for 1-2 min and spin dry, this process is repeated 3 times;

3) Add 100μL of detection solution B working solution to each well, incubate at 37℃ for 1h, remove the liquid, wash each well with 350μL of washing solution for 1-2 min and spin dry, this process is repeated 5 times;

4) Add 90μL of TMB Substrate Solution to each well, develop color at 37℃ avoid direct exposure to intense light (10-20min), add 50μL of Stop Solution to each well to stop the reaction, and shake gently;

5) Immediately use Microplate Reader to measure the optical density value (O.D. value) of each well at a wavelength of 450nm;

6) Establish a standard curve according to the standard product, substitute it into the formula to obtain the content of active growth factor in the sample, and then convert it into the content in the dry weight of the SIS graft sample.

Conclusion

Growth factors have very strict requirements on extraction conditions. Different growth factors have different suitable extraction methods due to their different types and mechanisms of action. In this experiment, by comparing the pretreatment methods of growth factors of SIS materials, the most suitable extraction methods for three growth factors (TGFβ1, VEGF, FGF2) were obtained and their contents were detected. Among them, the content of TGFβ1 in Biosis Healing SIS was 8375±2125 pg/g, the content of VEGF was 5486±1043 pg/g, and the content of FGF2 was 3990±1372 pg/g.
