瘢痕疙瘩中TIEG1的高表达

转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1/Smads)信号转导通路的持续激活是瘢痕疙瘩形成的重要机制.研究发现这条通路重要的负反馈调节信号分子Smad7表达明显下调,Smad2/3的磷酸化水平和蛋白质量并无明显改变.但是,Smad7下调的机制尚不清楚.采用生物信息学方法对Smad7的启动子进行分析;用RT-PCR和蛋白质印迹分别检测了正常皮肤、正常瘢痕及瘢痕疙瘩组织中的Sp1样转录因子TIEG1mRNA及蛋白质的表达水平;体外培养正常皮肤、正常瘢痕及瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞,检测TIEG1 mRNA及蛋白的表达水平.研究结果显示,Smad7启动子上有Sp1的位点,TIEG1 mRNA及蛋白质水平在瘢痕疙瘩组织及瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞中表达明显高于正常瘢痕和正常皮肤(P<0.05).说明瘢痕疙瘩中TIEG1可能是Smad7下调的重要原因,有必要进一步研究TIEG1对Smad7的调控作用机制.

Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 and ‐9 activities in human keloids,hypertrophic and atrophic scars: a pilot study

Proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix is one of the principal features of cutaneous wound healing but little is known about the activities of gelatinases; matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) and matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) on abnormal scar formation. The aim of this study is to determine collagen levels and the gelatinase activities in tissue from hypertrophic scars, atrophic scars, keloids and donor skin in 36 patients and 14 donors. Gelatinase levels (proenzyme + active enzyme) were determined by ELISA and their activities by gelatin zymography. MMP‐9 activity was undetectable in gelatin zymography analysis. Pro‐MMP‐2 levels (median) were highest in normal skin group 53.58 (36.40–75.11) OD µg^?1 protein, while active MMP‐2 levels were highest in keloid group 52.53 (42.47–61.51) OD µg^?1 protein. The active/pro ratio was the highest in keloid group 0.97 followed by hypertrophic scar, normal skin and atrophic scar groups 0.69 > 0.54 > 0.48, respectively. According to results of our study, the two‐phase theory of the duration of hypertrophic scar and keloid formation can be supported by the data of tissue collagen and gelatinase analysis. This study is the first to relate scar formation relationship in regard to gelatinase activation ratio in a keloid, hypertrophic and atrophic scar patient group which is chosen appropriate in age and sex.

Effects of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) on fibronectin (FN) production by human skin and scar fibroblasts

The fibroblast-type cell found in hypertrophic scars and keloids demonstrates an elevated fibronectin (FN) production, compared to the same type of cell in normal dermis. We wished to determine if the effects of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) on FN production in these cell types would be equivalent or different. Cell lines were established from the dermis (reticularis) of hypertrophic scars, keloids, uninvolved normal skin adjacent to the lesions, including an assumed normal skin adjacent to a keloid (AS), and normal skin from a different uninjured patient (DS). Each parent tissue from which the cell lines originated was diagnosed histologically. Each hypertrophic scar, keloid and normal adjacent skin, with one exception, showed typical histologic findings confirming the clinical diagnosis. DS was also normal. AS, although assumed to be normal, in fact, demonstrated portions of nodules from the adjacent keloid. All cell lines were grown under standard conditions with subconfluent cells metabolically labeled for radioimmunoassays measuring FN at passage 3 (8 to 9 weeks in culture) in the absence and presence of PDGF. Significant differences in production of FN/cell and FN/PR/cell between two hypertrophic scars and their matched normal skins and for one keloid and its matched normal skin were observed. However, no significant difference was observed between the other keloid and AS, nor between the other hypertrophic scar and DS. PDGF significantly stimulated FN production in 2 of 4 NS cell lines, and in the AS cell line. By FN/cell values, 2 of 5 cell lines from the lesions were inhibited and one was increased. In terms of FN/PR/cell, 1 of 5 cell lines from the lesions was stimulated and the others showed no differences. The mixed results may be attributable to the likelihood that the cell lines represent mixed populations. This study demonstrates the importance of: 1) histological characterization of all parent tissues from which cell lines are derived, and 2) matching cell lines from lesions with cell lines from uninvolved normal dermis, in the same individual.     

层粘连蛋白、基质金属蛋白酶-9的表达及微血管密度在卵巢黏液性肿瘤中的意义

目的探讨卵巢黏液性肿瘤组织中层粘连蛋白(LN)、基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)的表达及间质微血管密度(MVD)的意义.方法应用免疫组织化学方法检测43例卵巢黏液性肿瘤LN、MMP-9、CD31的表达情况,并在CD31染色切片上检测其微血管密度.结果 LN的表达级别、MMP-9的表达阳性率及MVD依卵巢黏液性肿瘤良性、交界性、恶性逐渐增高;LN的表达程度与卵巢黏液性囊腺癌的组织学分级有关(P＜0.01);MMP-9的表达与卵巢黏液性囊腺癌的组织学分级(P＜0.05)、FIGO分期(P＜0.05)、术后复发和死亡(P＜0.05)有关;MVD与卵巢黏液性囊腺癌的组织学分级(P＜0.05)、术后复发和死亡(P＜0.05)有关.在卵巢黏液性囊腺癌中,LN的表达程度在MMP-9阳性组与阴性组之间有显著性差异(P＜0.01),并呈负相关;MVD在MMP-9阳性组高于阴性组,两者之间差异有显著性(P＜0.01)结论 LN、MMP-9及MVD在卵巢黏液性肿瘤的浸润转移中起重要作用,是卵巢黏液性肿瘤的恶性指标,可望作为交界性黏液性囊腺瘤及黏液性囊腺癌的诊断和分级的客观参考指标;MMP-9、MVD有助临床估计预后.     

MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression,quantitative analysis and biomechanical changes in scar hypertrophy after autologous free transplantation of rabbit oral mucosa and scrotal skin

This study aimed to investigate the long-term scar hypertrophy in the rabbit transplanted oral mucosa and scrotal skin with changed matrix environment, as well as the scar location expression, quantitative analysis of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and biomechanical changes in the transplanted tissues. The split-thickness skin grafts were collected from the oral mucosas and scrotal skins of 30 male rabbits, and prepared into reelpipes for autologous transplantation into the rabbit back muscular tissues. Samples were collected to carry out elastic tensile mechanical detection and histological observation. The maximum longitudinal tensile displacement of scrotal skin before 8 weeks of transplantation was greater than that after 8 weeks of transplantation (P < 0.05). The expression intensities of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in the oral mucosa and in scrotal skin at 2 W time point were higher than those at T_o time point (P < 0.05). The expression quantities of TIMP-2 in oral mucosa and scrotal skin during 8–24 W were higher than those of MMP-2 (P < 0.05). At 8 W time point, the TIMP-2/MMP-2 ratio in scrotal skin was higher than that in oral mucosa (P < 0.05). MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression in normal oral mucosa and scrotal skin is weak, but their expression is remarkably up-regulated after 2 weeks of transplantation, revealing that scar formation was related to the high expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2. At the 8th–24th weeks, the AOD values of TIMP-2 in oral mucosa and scrotal skin are apparently higher than those of MMP-2; moreover, the TIMP-2/MMP-2 ratio in scrotal skin at the 8th week was higher than that in oral mucosa, which can well explain the earlier scar formation in scrotal skin than in oral mucosa, and it also suggests that the different expression levels between TIMP-2 and MMP-2 may account for the important cause of scar formation.     

MMP-2、MMP-7、MMP-9、TIMP-1及TIMP-2在乳腺癌组织中的表达及意义

目的:探讨基质金属蛋白酶及其抑制剂在乳腺癌组织中的表达及其与肿瘤浸润转移的关系,为乳腺癌的临床治疗及预后预测提供基础。方法:选择我院2012年5月至2014年5月收治的乳腺癌患者80例,对所选病例的乳腺癌组织、癌旁组织及正常乳腺组织样本进行检测。观察并比较不同乳腺组织中MMP-2,MMP-7、MMP-9、TIMP-1及TIMP-2 m RNA的表达水平。结果:与正常乳腺组织相比较,乳腺癌组织和癌旁组织中MMP-2、MMP-7、MMP-9,TIMP-1及TIMP-2 m RNA的表达显著增加,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。乳腺癌组织中MMP-2、MMP-7、MMP-9、TIMP-1及TIMP-2 m RNA的表达显著高于癌旁组织和正常组织,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。随着肿瘤范围扩大,MMP-2、MMP-7和MMP-9 m RNA的表达水平显著增加(P0.05),而TIMP-1和TIMP-2 m RNA表达无显著变化(P0.05)。随着淋巴结转移进展,MMP-2、MMP-7和MMP-9 m RNA的表达显著增加(P0.05),而TIMP-1和TIMP-2 m RNA无显著变化(P0.05)。结论:MMP-2、MMP-7、MMP-9、TIMP-1和TIMP-2的m RNA在乳腺癌组织中呈高表达,这可能与乳腺癌的发生和发展有关,而MMP-2、MMP-7和MMP-9可能有助于预测乳腺癌的侵袭行为。     

原代培养过程中壳聚糖衍生物对CTCF/YB-1/C-myc和p53蛋白表达的影响

成功建立了人增生性瘢痕细胞和正常皮肤成纤维细胞的原代培养, 并利用热休克蛋白(HSP47)和成纤维细胞特异蛋白(FSP)标记物进行了鉴定。研究发现, 经过壳聚糖衍生物处理, 人增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞和正常皮肤成纤维细胞在培养中均出现了不同类型的蛋白表达。多功能转录因子蛋白(CTCF)在壳聚糖衍生物处理的增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞中出现表达上调; 在聚糖衍生物处理的正常皮肤成纤维细胞中数量无变化。YB-1结合蛋白在经壳聚糖处理的正常皮肤成纤维细胞与人增生性瘢痕细胞中的表达几乎无异, 但在未经壳聚糖处理的细胞中表达不同。C-MYC和P53蛋白在壳聚糖衍生物处理的增生性瘢痕纤维细胞中表达上调, 但在正常皮肤成纤维细胞中, 无论是否经过壳聚糖衍生物处理, 这两种蛋白都没有表达。上述4种蛋白在人增生性瘢痕细胞和正常皮肤成纤维细胞中表现出不同的表达方式, 这种新型壳聚糖衍生物可能在控制人增生性瘢痕细胞和正常皮肤成纤维细胞生长和增殖过程中起着重要作用。这些蛋白因子的表达机制目前还不是完全清楚, 有待于进一步研究。
