Effect of PreparationMethod on the Protein Profileof Equine Amnion Dressings
2019
The protein content of amnion is thought to be the primary contributor to its efficacy as a biological dressing for wounds. Protein elution into antibiotic processing media has been reported, but the effect of antiseptic-based processing methods is unknown. Amniotic membranes were collected from eight healthy mares. Samples were collected after removal of gross debris. Tissues were subsequently divided and processed with either 0.05% chlorhexidine or 2% iodine/0.25% acetic acid. After protein extraction and trypsin digestion, the proteins were labeled with 8-plex iTRAQ tags, combined, and analyzed by high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The MaxQuant-Perseus software suite was used to identify and quantify sample proteins, with functional annotation performed in PANTHER. There were 220 unique proteins identified, of which 144 were found in all individuals and across all conditions, several with a known role in wound healing. Contrary to expectations, processing did not significantly alt...
