    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Macromolecular serum proteins and their hydrolyzed products, particularly peptides, have demonstrated cell growth-promoting capabilities.
    • Previous research indicates that peptides of specific molecular weights can stimulate cellular proliferation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To isolate and characterize serum protein fractions with growth-promoting activity.
    • To investigate the growth-promoting potential of hydrolyzed serum protein products.
    • To identify and isolate growth-promoting peptides from liver tissue.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum proteins were fractionated using salt precipitation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
    • Growth-promoting activities were assessed for separated albumin and globulin fractions.
    • Macromolecules were chemically and enzymatically treated (alkali, acids, proteolytic enzymes) to yield active products.
    • Liver-derived peptides were isolated via enzymatic hydrolysis, gel filtration, and ultrafiltration.

    Main Results:

    • Specific albumin and globulin fractions exhibited significant cell growth-promoting activity.
    • Hydrolysis products of serum proteins retained or exhibited enhanced growth-promoting effects.
    • Growth-promoting peptides were successfully isolated from liver tissue using enzymatic and filtration methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum proteins and their derived peptides are effective agents for promoting cell growth.
    • The study successfully identified and characterized key fractions and peptides responsible for this activity.
    • The findings provide a basis for understanding the role of specific protein fragments in cellular proliferation and tissue regeneration.
