Restoring blood supply is an effective way for the therapy of myocardial infarction (MI). It was reported a specific angiogenic peptide (VMP) derived from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) could activate its receptor to mimic the biological activity of VEGF. In this study, in order to improve the local concentration in infarction region, a collagen-binding domain was synthesized with VMP to construct collagen binding domain (CBD)-VMP peptides. The fused CBD-VMP could bind specifically to collagen which was rich in cardiac extracellular matrix (c-ECM), without impacting the biological activity of VMP peptides. When the CBD-VMP peptides loaded on collagen scaffold and implanted into the rats subcutaneousl... More
