Title Purification of porcine hair keratin subunits and their immobilization for use as cell culture substrates.
Journal Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
Abstract We purified both the type I subunit and type II subunit of porcine hair keratin and compared their ability to form a uniform film of reconstituted keratin on a culture plate, and their effect on a model of neural cells. We observed the surface of the keratin-immobilized plate using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and measured water contact angles to characterize the surface. We cultured PC12 cells on plates on which crude keratin, the type I subunit, or the type II subunit were immobilized. The water contact angles were slightly different from each other. The cells proliferated well on all three keratin-immobilized plates. The type II subunit showed a tendency to inhibit the differentiation of PC12 cells significantly as an extension of the cell shapes and neurite outgrowth in comparison with the crude extract and the type I subunit. The type I subunit and the type II subunit showed slight differences in cell differentiation, but not in cell proliferation.
