The clinical efficacy of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in tissue repair can be greatly enhanced by high affinity, biocompatible drug carriers that maintain the bioactivity and regulate release at the target site. We produced 0.5-3.0 mu m fragmin (low molecular weight heparin)/protamine microparticles (F/P MPs) as carriers for the controlled release of HGF. F/P MPs immobilized more than 3 mu g of HGF per mg of MPs and gradually released the absorbed HGF into the medium with a half-release time of approximately 5 days. Compared with HGF alone, HGF-containing F/P MPs substantially enhanced the mitogenic effect of HGF on cultured human microvascular endothelial cells, by prolonging the biological half-life, and its conjugation to F/P MPs protected HGF from heat and proteolytic inactivation. F/P MPs disappeared 8 days after subcutaneous injection in mice, suggesting that they are rapidly biodegraded. Furthermore, the number of large (diameter >= 200 mu m or containing >= 100 erythrocytes) and medium (diameter 20-200 mu m or containing 10-100 erythrocytes) lumen capillaries 8 days after injection of HGF-containing F/P MPs was significantly higher than that after injection of HGF or F/P MPs alone. Furthermore, the number of small (diameter
