Physicochemical, antioxidant properties of giant croaker (Nibea japonica) swim bladders collagen and wound healing evaluation.

Acid-solubilized collagen (ASC) and pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC) were obtained from Nibea japonica swim bladders. The denaturation temperature (Td) of ASC and PSC was approximately 33.8 °C. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses indicated that ASC and PSC contained triple-helical type I collagen when compared to rat tail collagen type I. Moreover, the microstructure of collagen sponges was uniform and porous. In addition, ASC and PSC exhibited antioxidant properties and in vitro scratch assays showed that PSC at various concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/mL) had significant effects on the scratch closure rate. Furthermore, collagen sponge from Nibea japonica swim bladders exhibited an increased efficacy of wound healing when compared to the control mice. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the collagen sponge treated mice were significantly decreased when compared to the control group. Thus, our results suggested that collagen sponge from Nibea japonica swim bladders has potential wound healing applications.
