Abstract
A silk fibroin nerve graft fused with NT3 and a preparation method therefor is provided. The method includes the steps of: synthesizing a gene fragment containing a silk fibroin light chain and NT-3, connecting the fragment to a pET-30 expression vector, and transferring the obtained recombinant expression vector into BL21 Escherichia coli to obtain a fusion protein; placing a silk fibroin fiber web in a mold, mixing the fusion protein and a silk fibroin solution, and performing freeze drying to enable the silk fibroin to be crosslinked with the fusion protein to form a nerve conduit; and after deformation processing, finally obtaining a silk fibroin nerve graft having NT-3 activity. The silk fibroin nerve graft can provide a mechanical support, exert nerve protection and nerve regeneration promotion functions in a long term, and adjust the proportion of NT-3 bioactive peptides in the nerve conduit, facilitating repair of nerve injuries.
