Definitions
- This invention relates to collagen products.
- this invention relates to col lagen products made from soluble col lagen.
- a new method by which soluble collagen can be formed into quasi- crystalline structures by precipitation using soluble polymers is described.
- the use of an aggregate of this quasi- crystalline collagen to form a variety of collagen materials which have improved properties compared with existing collagenous materials is described.
- Collagen is an extremely common protein in the animal kingdom and therefore many uses for products based upon collagen have developed. Many products use collagen in either its native form (i.e.
- Native collagen is used for various products such as in the production of leather from animal skins, or such as the production of sausage casings in which the col lagen is finely divided and reformed into the desired structure.
- collagen and for items made from collagen in medical fields such as in artificial arteries, veins, tendons, corneas, heart valves, skin, or patches or the like which are used as replacement parts for disease or injury affected parts in humans, or in cosmetic applications such as mammary prostheses or injectable collagen, or in collagen sponges, sutures or haemostat materials which may be used during surgery or in the treatment of disease (Chvapil, 1979).
- medical products made from collagen are at present unsatisfactory because of an inability to reproduce the native structure, composition or strength which exists in the norma l collagenous tissue or because of the immune response el icited by the presence of immunogenic co l l agen or components or other material foreign to the body.
- col lagen exists in many types and in the most common of these types, col l agen e xi sts a s f ibr i l s i n which indi v i du a l co l l a g en mo l ecu l e s are arran ged in a s ta gger ed o v er l ap structure (Bornstein and Traub, 1979).
- telopeptides lead to an antigenic response in humans; collagen lacking telopeptides is relatively non antigenic (Linsenmayer, 1982) but can stil l be made to form fibrils.
- Materia l s f ormed by fibril regeneration are of ten too hydrated and additional methods such as freezedrying or cell-induced contraction must be used to give a functional product.
- Other non-native fibrous aggregates termed FLS collagen, can be formed in which the collagen molecules are arranged in various staggered arrangements with the orientation of the molecules in both directions.
- Quasi-crystal line aggregates can also be formed. These include very small crystallites of collagen, termed SLS collagen, in which the collagen molecules all have the same orientation, but there is no stagger between molecules. These have been of partial use in deducing the native structure of collagen but SLS collagen has been of little use in the manufacture of larger structures l ike biomedica l products.
- quasi- crystal line tactoids of col lagen can be prepared, using conditions simil ar to those used f or reconstitutin g fibrils by heat gelation (Leibovich and Weiss, 1970; Lee and Piez, 1983) but the technique of production is more dif ficult than the technique described here as it does not inv o l v e simp l e precipitation.
- the collagen is arranged in a staggered form similar to native fibrils.
- the t actoid s ar e produced by a new procedure , precipitation by soluble, neutral polymers.
- collagen is precipitated by other procedures, for example salts , alcohols or heat, amorphous precipitates are formed.
- the present invention provides a method of producing a collagen product comprising forming an aqueous solution containing dissolved collagen and a water soluble or miscible polymer adapted to precipitate the collagen out of solution in the form of tactoids.
- the pH of the said solution is pref erably 3.5-10 more preferably 5-8 with 7-8 being still more preferred and about 7.5 being most preferred.
- the collagen precipitate may be left in the form of a paste or slurry and used in this f orm or afte r concentration by any one of the methods gravitational precipitation, filtration, centrifugation or the like.
- the precipitate may be crosslinked, tanned or stabilised by one or more of chemical, physical or biochemical methods either bef ore or af ter it has been concentrated . Crosslinking, tanning or stabilisation applied to the precipitate bef ore concentration makes the tactoids resistant to def orming actions such as heating, pressure or biochemical degradation.
- the so precipitated collagen may also be f ormed, for example, into a synthetic body part.
- f orming into a synthetic body part may be effected by gravitational precipitation, f iltration, centifugation , moulding, pressing, shaping or any other way or combination of ways.
- Shapes which may be prepared include sheets, tubes, strings and rods. It has been found particularly desirable to form the so precipitated collagen into sheets for use as synthetic dressings for wounds and into tubes for use as synthetic tubular body parts.
- the sheets can be formed by centrifugation in a large basket centrifuge or the like or by gravitational precipitation or filtration. Other methods of producing the sheets are also possible. A more compacted sheet is produced by centrifugation in comparison with gravitational precipitation or filtration. Tubes can also be prepared by centrifugation or by casting, mou l ding or shaping. T he c o l l a g en m a y b e p r e c i p i t a t e d o n t o a suitable substrate to form a composite material.
- Such a substrate, onto which the col lagen is precipitated may ha ve the form of a particular body part or biomedical product.
- the substrate may take the form of a matrix.
- the substrate may take the f orm of a plastic or other synthetic surf ace in the f orm of a sheet, tube or mesh, onto which the col l agen is directly deposited forming a col lagenous coating.
- the substrate may a l so take the f orm of a composit e, f or e x amp l e , v ar ious s y nth et ic l a y er s b onded to a n artificial ly or natural ly-produced matrix.
- g l utara l dehyde or similar chemicals may be used to stabilise the matrix.
- the col lagen of the present invention may be used as a paste or sl urry.
- Such a paste or sl urry wou l d ha v e a number of applications including as an impl ant material such as in t h e f o rm of a n i n j e c t a b l e me di um f or u s e i n co sme t ic surgery.
- Such a slurry may be stabilized chemically such as by g l utara l dehyde or irradiation. Such as with gamm a radiation.
- the concentration of this tactoidal col lagen in the paste or sl urry is pref erab l y not l ess than 10 mgm/ml, more preferably not less than 30 mgm/ml and most preferably not less than 40 mgm/ml.
- the col lagen useful for forming the col lagen products of this invention inc ludes col lagen derived from hides , skins or other col lagen containing organs or tissues of humans or other vertebrates or invertebrates and include s co l l agens of one type or mixtures of types. So lub le co l l agen can be prepared by enzymic treatment of col l agen from those sources. Suitable enzymes include pepsin.
- the col l agen may a l so be deri ved f rom the cu l ture medium of cel ls, tissues or organs grown in cel l- or tissue- culture.
- the culture medium used to produce the col lagen may be a cu l ture medium f rom ce l l or tissue cu l ture deri v ed f rom a person f or whom a synthetic body part is to be produced; it is believed that doing this will substantial ly reduce the likel ihood of rejection.
- a substrate may be introduced into the culture medium such that collagen and other components will be directly produced thereon. Such a substrate may have the form of a particular body part or biomedical product desired.
- the substrate may take the form of a matrix.
- the substrate may take the form of a plastic or other synthetic surface in the form of a sheet, tube or mesh, onto which the collagen and other components are directly deposited forming a collagenous coating.
- the substrate may be formed from aggregates of tactoidal collagen of this invention.
- the water soluble or miscible polymer is preferably a neutral polymer.
- Such polymers may be at least one of the synthetic polymers polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, polyacrylamide, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyvinyl methyl ether, maleic anhydride copolymers and the like; or at least one of the modified, natural, neutral polymers hydroxyethyl starches, methyl cel lulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose or the like; or at least one of the natural neutral polymers agarose, dextrins , dextrans, starches , pectins , alginates and the like.
- Such standing is ef f ected at temperatures between the denaturation temperature of the col l agen and th e freezing point of the solution; preferably at between zero and 20°C; more preferably between zero and 10°C.
- These added materials may also be incorporated into the solution of soluble col lagen before addition of the polymer or otherwise incorporated into materia l made f rom the col l agen.
- Charged, water soluble or water miscible polymers may be used as part of a mixture with the neutral polymer or polymers and added to the soluble col lagen with the neutral polymer sol ution. These charged polymers may be used to modify the properties of the soluble collagen solution or the material made from the precipitated collagen.
- the co l l agen product o f this in v ention may be chemica l l y or biochemica l l y stabi l ised.
- Biochemica l stabilisation may be ef f ected by enzymes such a s lysyl oxidase. Chemical stabilisation may be effected by tanning agents, syntans, other cross-linking agents or chemica l modif iers of co l l a gen. Of particu l a r interest are stabilisers which limit proteolysis or the immunogenicity of the co l l agen. Glutaraldehyde is a stabiliser of particular interest . The product may also be stabilised by dehydration by mild heat, water miscible sol vents, critical point drying or the like. Such stabilisation may be performed before or after a shaping operation.
- the col lagen product of this invention may be sterilised chemically or by irradiation.
- Chemical sterilisation may be conducted by means of suitable solutions of sterilising materials such as glutaraldehyde from between 0.5% to 5% concentration.
- the product may be stored in solutions of sterilant until required f or use.
- Steri lisation by means of irradiation can be conducted by exposing the col lagen product of this invention to gamma rays from a suitable source. From 0.5 to 5 Mrads of irradiation may be used, preferably 2.5 Mrads of gamma ray irradiation is suitable for satisfactory sterilisation of the product.
- the tactoids formed by precipitation of the soluble col lagen in this invention are useful in production of synthetic body parts, and other materials for medical or veterinary applications.
- the collagen tactoids or tactoid assemblages could be stabilised by chemical or biochemical techniques or could be formed into various useful shapes and then stabilised.
- the tactoidal collagen has potential application in many areas such as the manufacture of collagen sponges or haemostatic agents , of dressings, of membranes, of skin, of tubes and the like and in the treatment of disease such as peridontal disease.
- the tactoida l collagen can also be used in conjuction with other structural type materials to form composite materials with diff erent properties.
- a tube of tactoidal collagen can be covered with a woven or knitted mesh of fibre such as Dacron to give the tube additional strength.
- the tactoidal collagen can be formed into a tube surrounding the mesh to give a more intimate contact with the mesh and better properties.
- the tactoids in a preferred orientation by the application of an electric field or by means of mechanical action. Materials made from the oriented tactoids may have beneficial effects in the healing of wounds. Many other methods of utilising the tactoidal collagen in a variety of shapes and forms and in conjuction with diverse other materials can be envisaged.
