Research Article: Isolation, characterization and biocompatibility evaluation of collagen from Thunnus tonggol skin
Authors
Abstract:
Acid-soluble collagen could be isolated from fish skin using acetic acid. In recent years, much attention has been paid to collagen from marine sources, mainly arising from the fact that there is no risk of contagious diseases. Moreover, by processing the fish, significant amounts of waste materials are produced which can be considered as a substitute for these collagen sources. Thunnus tonggol skin collagen was extracted by acid and base methods and evaluated by SDS-PAGE, FTIR and UV spectrophotometry and amino acid composition analysis. To determine biocompatibility, growth, and proliferation of extracted collagen, MTT and H&E staining methods were used. The results, predicated on SDS-PAGE and amino acid analysis, demonstrated that the fish skin collagen was of type I consisting of two α chains (α1 and α2) with molecular weight of 135 kDa and mass fraction of β. FTIR analysis also revealed helical compositions of both collagens, and UV spectrophotometry in T. tonggol skin collagen indicated a maximum absorption of 235 nm. The amount of collagen extracted from T. tonggol skin turned out to be 17.3% dry weight. Analysis of extracted collagen amino acids from the mentioned fish showed that glycine was the predominant amino acid. Human fibroblast culture presented a superior growth and good biocompatibility on extracted collagen. So, this type of collagen could be used in tissue engineering as a proper scaffold.

Isolation and Evaluation of Collagen from the Fish (Thunnus Tonggol) Skin: A Biological Material for Medical Tissue Engineering
Introduction: Collagen bears many applications in pharmacy and medicine, health and cosmetic products as well as food industry. In recent years, much attention has been paid to separation of collagen from marine organisms arising from the fact that its use in the diet is not restricted and triggers no risk of contagious diseases as well as religious restrictions. Moreover, fish collagen is uniq...

This study proceeds to extract collagen from the skin of Rutilus kutum, one of the main and economical species of the Caspian Sea. Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) from the skin of R. kutum was extracted and characterized by SDS-PAGE, FTIR and UV spectrophotometry. Based on the data from the SDS-PAGE and the composition of amino acid, it was probable that the obtained collagen classified as type I...

A simple method has been developed for the isolation of Acid Soluble Collagen (ASC) and Pepsin Digestible Collagen (PDC) from the skin of Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), Dog shark (Scoliodon sorrakowah), and one among Indian Major Carps ie, Rohu (Labeo rohita). Biochemical characterization of the collagen extracted was carried out. On wet weight basis the yields of ASC and PDC from shark skin...

To make more effective use of underutilized resources, pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC) was successfully extracted from the skin of black carp (Mylopharyngdon piceus) with a yield of 45.7% based on dry weight. The PSC comprising two identical α1-chains and one α2-chain with no disulfide bond was characterized as type I, and it contained 195 imino acid residues vs. 1000 amino acid residues. The...

Collagen is an ubiquitous structural protein, which constitutes about 25-30% by weight of all proteins in the mammalian body. It functions as an important supporting element in vertebrate tissues. Using the method of cleaving the protein chains at the methionyl residues with cyanogen bromide (CNBr), many species of collagen from different sources have been isolated and characterized, e.g. rat s...

A major collagenous component of octopus skin was isolated from limited pepsin digests by selective salt precipitation in acidic and neutral solvents. Chromatography on Cm-cellulose of the denatured collagen and sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, agarose gel filtration, and chemical analysis of the chromatographic fractions revealed that two distinct alpha chains, alpha 1 and alpha 2, ...
