Abstract (original English)

Different growth factors can regulate stem cell differentiation. We used keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) to direct adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) differentiation into keratinocytes. To enhance KGF bioavailability, we targeted KGF for collagen by fusing it to collagen-binding domain from Vibrio mimicus metalloprotease (vibrioCBD-KGF). KGF and vibrioCBD-KGF were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Both proteins displayed comparable activities in stimulating proliferation of HEK-293 and MCF-7 cells. vibrioCBD-KGF demonstrated enhanced collagen-binding affinity in immunofluorescence and ELISA. KGF and vibrioCBD-KGF at different concentrations (2, 10, and 20 ng/ml) were applied for 21 days on ASCs cultured on collagen-coated plates. Keratinocyte differentiation was assessed based on morphological changes, the expression of keratinocyte markers (Keratin-10 and Involucrin), and stem cell markers (Collagen-I and Vimentin) by real-time PCR or immunofluorescence. Our results indicated that the expression of keratinocyte markers was substantially increased at all concentrations of vibrioCBD-KGF, while it was observed for KGF only at 20 ng/ml. Immunofluorescence staining approved this finding. Moreover, down-regulation of Collagen-I, an indicator of differentiation commitment, was more significant in samples treated with vibrioCBD-KGF. The present study showed th
