小鼠真皮间充质干细胞与成纤维细胞共培养对胶原分泌和TGF-β1表达的影响

Objective To explore the role of mouse dermis-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mdMSC) on skin repair. Methods mdMSC and human dermal fibroblasts were isolated and identified. Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured alone or eoeultured with mdMSC in Transwell chambers with the density ratio of human dermal fibroblasts to mdMSC being 2/5, 1/1, and 2/1. On day 4 and 8 of culture, the expression levels of hydroxyproline and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) 1 were measured in the supematant of monoculture and coculture by alkaline hydrolysis and ELISA respectively. Results The level of hydro-xyproline was significantly higher in the supematants of coculture system with a density ratio of 2/5 and 1/1 than that in monoculture supematants of human dermal fibroblasts on day 8 (both P < 0.05). Elevated level of TGF-betal was observed in all coculture supematants on day 8 (all P < 0.01) and in the supernatants of coculture system with a density ratio of 1/1 on day 4 (P < 0.05). There was no significant correlation between the expression level of TGF-betal and hydroxyproline in the coculture supernatants (r = 0.108, P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion In vitro coculture with mdMSC can increase the production of hydroxyproline and TGF-betal by fibroblasts, which may be a mechanism underlying the facilitation of skin repair by mdMSC.

Pulsed heat shocks enhance procollagen type I and procollagen type III expression in human dermal fibroblasts

Background: The formation of wrinkles is associated with degeneration of the collagen matrix. For regeneration of the matrix, fibroblasts need to be stimulated in producing new collagen. Aims: In this study, the effect of short‐pulsed heat shocks on gene expression of procollagen type I, procollagen type III, heat shock protein (hsp)27, hsp47 and hsp70 and on the expression of remodeling markers, procollagen type I carboxy‐terminal peptide (P1P) and carboxy‐terminal telopeptide of type I (ICTP), of human dermal fibroblasts in vitro, is investigated. Materials and Methods: Temperatures of 45 °C and 60 °C were used for the heat shocks. The proliferation rates, viability and metabolic activity were measured directly after the pulsed heat shocks and quantitative PCR was performed at five different time points after the heat shocks. Enzyme Immuno Assays were performed to determine the concentrations of P1P and ICTP. Results: A decreased proliferation rate of the 60 °C heat shocked cells was shown, whereas the viability and metabolic activity did not differ. Furthermore, gene expressions were upregulated in both 45 °C and 60 °C heat‐shocked cells. However, remodeling marker analyses showed a larger amount of collagen produced by 60 °C heat‐shocked cells. Conclusion: It can be concluded that these findings, together with upregulation in gene expression, show that it is possible to stimulate the cells to produce more collagen with short‐pulsed heat shocks.     

Proteome analysis of ultraviolet-B-induced protein expression in vitro human dermal fibroblasts

Background: Ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiation can result in acute photodamage, photoaging and skin cancer through the induction of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, activation of signaling pathways, and regulation of gene expression. In this study, we investigated UVB‐induced alterations in protein expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Methods: Skin fibroblasts were irradiated with 100 mJ/cm² UVB, and cell viability was monitored by the 3‐(4,5)‐dimethylthiahiazo(‐z‐y1)‐3,5‐diphenytetrazoliumromide assay. Two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy were used to identify differentially expressed proteins. The mRNA and levels of identified proteins were detected using a quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction assay and Western blot. Results: UVB decreased the viability of skin fibroblasts. In UVB‐treated cells, eighteen differentially expressed proteins were identified. Among these proteins, the amounts of receptor‐interacting protein (RIP) and vimentin were significantly up‐regulated. However, their mRNA levels decreased and remained relatively stable, respectively. Conclusions: The differential expression of RIP and vimentin was validated in UVB‐irradiated fibroblasts. RIP may promote cell injury, and vimentin may contribute to the resistance of cells to UVB‐induced damage.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors preferentially augment transient transgene expression in human dermal fibroblasts

BACKGROUND: Skin is an attractive target for gene therapy. However, low efficiency of gene transfection has been a major problem. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been reported to increase transgene expression in malignant cells. OBJECTIVES: We have estimated how much HDAC inhibitors might increase transgene expression in HaCaT cells, normal human epidermal keratinocyte (NHEK) cells, normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells and also in stratified cultured epidermal sheets that mimic the structure of the skin. METHODS: After treatment with each HDAC inhibitor [trichostatin A, FK228 and cyclic hydroxamic acid-containing peptide 31 (CHAP31)], transient transgene expression in HaCaT, NHEK and NHDF cells and stratified cultured epidermal sheets was compared with that of respective controls without treatment. Reactivation of transgene expression using HDAC inhibitors in HaCaT cells stably expressing the transgene was also studied. RESULTS: All HDAC inhibitors equally increased transient transgene expression by 2-fold in NHEK cells, 20-fold in NHDF cells and 6-fold in HaCaT cells when compared with untreated cells. This augmented expression continued for 72 h in all cell lines maintained under each HDAC inhibitor. In cells stably expressing the transgene, only CHAP31 reactivated transgene expression. In stratified cultured epidermal sheets, CHAP31 most effectively improved transient transgene expression. CONCLUSIONS: HDAC inhibitors are most efficient at amplifying transient transgene expression in NHDF cells. This suggests that NHDF cells may be most suitable as transgene targets for transient gene transfection using HDAC inhibitors. Specific HDAC inhibitors may not prove so useful for treating genetic dermatoses requiring cells stably expressing the correct gene, but may be advantageous in treating nonhealing cutaneous wounds or cancer.     

Multilineage differentiation potential of human dermal skin-derived fibroblasts

Dermal skin-derived fibroblasts from rodent and human have been found to exhibit mesenchymal surface antigen immunophenotype and differentiation potential along the three main mesenchymal-derived tissues: bone, cartilage and fat. Human dermal skin-derived mesenchymal stem cells constitute a promising cell source in clinical applications. Therefore, we isolated fibroblastic mesenchymal stem-cell-like cells from human dermis derived from juvenile foreskins, which share a mesenchymal stem cell phenotype and multi-lineage differentiation potential. We could show similar expression patterns for CD14(-), CD29(+), CD31(-), CD34(-), CD44(+), CD45(-), CD71(+), CD73/SH3-SH4(+), CD90/Thy-1(+), CD105/SH2(+), CD133(-) and CD166/ALCAM(+) in well-established adipose tissue derived-stem cells and fibroblastic mesenchymal stem-cell-like cells by flow cytometry. Immunostainings showed that fibroblastic mesenchymal stem-cell-like cells expressed vimentin, fibronectin and collagen; they were less positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin and nestin, while they were negative for epithelial cytokeratins. When cultured under appropriate inducible conditions, both cell types could differentiate along the adipogenic and osteogenic lineages. Additionally, fibroblastic mesenchymal stem-cell-like cells demonstrated a high proliferation potential. These findings are of particular importance, because skin or adipose tissues are easily accessible for autologous cell transplantations in regenerative medicine. In summary, these data indicate that dermal fibroblasts with multilineage differentiation potential are present in human dermis and they might play a key role in cutaneous wound healing.     

Insufficient expression of the melanocortin‐1 receptor by human dermal fibroblasts contributes to excess collagen synthesis in keloid scars

Activation of the α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (αMSH)/melanocortin‐1 receptor (MC1R) signalling pathway exerts antagonistic actions on cutaneous inflammatory and fibrogenic responses in addition to promoting pigment production. Herein, the expression of MC1R by keloid‐derived fibroblasts and keloid scar tissue was investigated using a range of techniques. MC1R mRNA expression levels in five different keloid fibroblast cell lines were significantly reduced to less than half compared with five normal fibroblast cell lines (P < 0.05). Immunohistological analysis of tissue samples indicated that MCR1 immunoreactivity in both epidermal and dermal compartments of five keloid tissue samples was dramatically decreased compared with normal skin (P < 0.05). Insufficient expression of MC1R on human dermal fibroblasts might abolish the αMSH‐mediated suppression of collagen production and myofibroblast transformation elicited by the profibrotic cytokine‐transforming growth factor‐β1. Restoration of reduced MC1R by dermal fibroblasts may lead to novel scar‐reducing therapeutic approaches for treating this refractory fibrotic disease.

SIRT1 modulates expression of matrix metalloproteinases in human dermal fibroblasts

Background SIRT1, an NAD⁺‐dependent histone/protein deacetylase, controls a broad range of cellular functions. Objectives We examined if SIRT1 is involved in the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Methods We studied the effect of inhibition of SIRT1 by specific inhibitor and small interfering RNA (siRNA) on MMP‐1 and MMP‐3 expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Results Treatment with a potent and selective inhibitor of SIRT1, EX‐527, increased the basal expression levels of MMP‐1 and MMP‐3 proteins. Knockdown of endogenous SIRT1 by siRNA led to increased expression of MMP‐1 and MMP‐3 at both mRNA and protein levels. SIRT1 knockdown also upregulated MMP protein induction caused by an inflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL)‐1β. Moreover, treatment with a SIRT1 activator, resveratrol, significantly suppressed IL‐1β‐mediated induction of MMP‐1, which was attenuated by pretreatment with EX‐527. Finally, MMP‐1 promoter activity was increased by EX‐527 in cells treated with or without IL‐1β. Conclusions Our findings suggest that SIRT1 exerts a negative regulatory role in the production of MMP‐1 and MMP‐3 in human dermal fibroblasts.
