Molecular sieve column chromatography was used to determine the amount of type I and III collagen synthesized by normal dermis and keloid biopsies and fibroblasts derived from these tissues. After incubation with radioactive proline, the collagen was extracted and separated into types I and III and then quantitated. There was no significant difference in the percent type III collagen synthesized by fresh keloid biopsies compared to normal dermis. Likewise, there was no significant difference in the percent type III collagen synthesized by keloid fibroblasts compared to normal dermal fibroblasts, However, fibroblasts from both keloid and normal dermis synthesized a lower percentage of type III collagen in cell culture compared to the original biopsies. These findings demonstrate that keloid collagen has the same type distribution as normal dermis and suggest that increased collagen synthesis in these lesions is not related to altered collagen types. 相似文献

Growth kinetics and collagen synthesis of normal skin, normal scar and keloid fibroblasts in vitro. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Fibroblasts were isolated from keloid, normal skin, and normal scar and maintained in tissue culture for four passages. Growth kinetics were the same for all groups on days 2 through 12. However, the rate of collagen synthesis per fibroblast was greater in keloid derived cells than any controls at all growth phases. Keloid fibroblasts have an autonomous capacity to synthesize collagen at a significantly increased level in vitro, which may explain in part why these lesions are characterized by increased collagen deposition. 相似文献

Cultured fibroblasts isolated from normal and keloid tissue do not differ in their growth characteristics or in the rate of collagen synthesis under routine culture conditions. The addition of hydrocortisone to the culture media results in significant differences in both growth and collagen synthesis between these cell types. Collagen syntehsis is inhibited 60% in normal cultures by hydrocortisone (0.5 μg/ml) and the population size at which density-dependent growth inhibition is achieved is increased. Keloid-derived fibroblasts grow to a lower maximum density in the presence of hydrocortisone, while their rate of collagen syntehsis is not significantly reduced. The rate of non-collagen protein synthesis is increased significantly by hydrocortisone in both cell types. Comparison of normal and keloid-derived cultures obtained from a single individual suggests that the keloid phenotype with respect to both growth and collagen synthesis is restricted to the fibroblasts isolated from the keloid nodule. 相似文献

Investigation of the influence of keloid-derived keratinocytes on fibroblast growth and proliferation in vitro 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Keloids are disfiguring, proliferative scars that represent a pathological response to cutaneous injury. The overabundant extracellular matrix formation, largely from collagen deposition, is characteristic of these lesions and has led to investigations into the role of the fibroblast in its pathogenesis. Curiously, the role of the epidermis in extracellular matrix collagen deposition of normal skin has been established, but a similar hypothesis in keloids has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of keloid epithelial keratinocytes on the growth and proliferation of normal fibroblasts in an in vitro serum-free co-culture system. A permeable membrane separated two chambers; the upper chamber contained a fully differentiated stratified epithelium derived from the skin of excised earlobe keloid specimens, whereas the lower chamber contained a monolayer of normal or keloid fibroblasts. Both cell types were nourished by serum-free medium from the lower chamber.Epithelial keratinocytes from five separate earlobe keloid specimens were investigated. Four sets of quadruplicates were performed for each specimen co-cultured with normal fibroblasts or keloid-derived fibroblasts. Controls consisted of (1) normal keratinocytes co-cultured with normal fibroblasts, and (2) fibroblasts grown in serum-free media in the absence of keratinocytes in the upper chamber. Fibroblasts were indirectly quantified by 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay, with results confirmed by DNA content measurement, at days 1 and 5 after the co- culture initiation.Significantly, increased proliferation was seen in fibroblasts co-cultured with keloid keratinocytes, as compared with the normal keratinocyte controls at day 5 (analysis of variance, p < 0.001). These results strongly suggest that the overlying epidermal keratinocytes of the keloid may have an important, previously unappreciated role in keloid pathogenesis using paracrine or epithelial-mesenchymal signaling. 相似文献

The effect of superpulsed carbon dioxide laser energy on keloid and normal dermal fibroblast secretion of growth factors: a serum-free study 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
An in vitro model was used to determine the effect of superpulsed CO2 laser energy on normal dermal and keloid-producing fibroblast proliferation and release of growth factors. Growth factors assayed included basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1). bFGF is mitogenic, inhibits collagen production, and stabilizes cellular phenotype. TGF-beta1 stimulates growth and collagen secretion and is thought to be integral to keloid formation. Growth in a serum-free medium allowed measurement of these growth factors without confounding variables. Keloid and normal dermal fibroblasts cell lines were established from facial skin samples using standard explant techniques. Samples consisted of three separate keloid and three separate normal dermal fibroblast cell lines. Cells were used at passage 4 to seed 24-well trays at a concentration of 6 x 10(4) cells per milliliter in serum-free medium. At 48 hours, 18.8 percent of each cell well was exposed to a fluence of 2.4, 4.7, and 7.3 J/cm2 using the superpulsed CO2 laser. Cell viability and counts were established at four time points: 0 (time of superpulsed CO2 laser treatment), 24, 72, and 120 hours. Supernatants were collected and assessed for bFGF and TGF-beta1 using a sandwich enzyme immunoassay. All cell lines demonstrated logarithmic growth through 120 hours (conclusion of experiment), with a statistically significant shorter population doubling time for keloid fibroblasts (p < 0.05). Use of the superpulsed CO2 laser shortened population doubling times relative to that of controls; the differences were statistically significant in keloid dermal fibroblasts when fluences of 2.4 and 4.7 J/cm2 were used (p < 0.05 and 0.01, respectively). bFGF was present in greater levels in normal dermal fibroblasts than in keloid dermal fibroblasts. Application of superpulsed CO2 demonstrated a trend toward increased bFGF secretion in both fibroblast types; the increase was significant in the keloid group at 4.7J/cm2. A consistent trend in suppression of TGF-beta1 was seen in both groups exposed to superpulsed CO2, with the maximal effect occurring at 4.7 J/cm2. Serum-free culture sustains logarithmic cell growth and allows growth factor measurement without confounding variables from serum-containing media. Superpulsed CO2 enhances fibroblast replication and seems to stimulate bFGF secretion and to inhibit TGF-beta1 secretion. Given the function of these growth factors, the application of superpulsed CO2 may support normalized wound healing. These findings may explain the beneficial effects of laser resurfacing on a cellular level and support the use of superpulsed CO2 in the management of keloid scar tissue. 相似文献

Influence of serum on adult and fetal dermal fibroblast migration adhesion, and collagen expression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary The wound healing response to injury can be affected by many factors such as cell migration and extracellular matrix elaboration.
The objective of this study was to examine the serum- and age-dependent effects on cell migration, adhesion, and collagen
expression by skin fibroblasts. Dermal fibroblasts were isolated and plated with and without serum for up to 7 d. Cell migration
was determined by quantitative image analysis, adhesion was quantified using a centrifugation assay, and collagen expression
was assessed by PCR and immunohistochemical staining. Both adult and fetal fibroblasts migrated significantly faster in serum-containing
medium compared to serum-free medium. There was no significant difference in migration between the two cell types in either
serum-containing or serum-free medium. There was no significant difference in adhesion in the presence of serum, although
there was a greater faction of adherent fetal skin fibroblasts than adult fibroblasts in serum-free medium. Moreover, the
adherent fraction of fetal fibroblasts in serum-free medium was not significantly different from that in serum-containing
medium, suggesting that fetal skin fibroblasts possess serum-independent adhesion properties. Collagen mRNA expression was
significantly up-regulated in serum-free compared to serum-containing medium for both cell types. With respect to collagen
immunohistochemistry, both dermal fibroblast populations exhibited greater type I collagen compared to type III collagen staining.
Quantitative assessment of collagen staining indicated significantly enhanced type I collagen secretion in the presence of
serum by fetal skin fibroblasts. These findings suggest that intrinsic cellular characteristics may govern the observed differences
in adult and fetal wound healing. 相似文献

Abnormal regulation of collagen synthesis has been observed in fibroblasts from keloids, benign collagenous tumors that develop as a result of an inherited defect in dermal wound healing. Hydrocortisone reduces the rate of collagen synthesis in fibroblasts from normal adult dermis and scars, but fails to down regulate collagen synthesis in keloid-derived fibroblasts. We show here that loss of glucocorticoid control of collagen synthesis in keloid cells is due to an inability of hydrocortisone to reduce the levels of types I, III, and V collagen mRNA, whereas it coordinately lowers these RNAs in normal adult cells. The defective regulatory mechanism is expressed only in fibroblasts from the lesion. Fibroblasts from uninvolved dermis respond normally to hydrocortisone. Not all glucocorticoid-modulated matrix proteins are abnormally regulated in this disorder; fibronectin mRNA is induced to a similar extent in normal and keloid cells. The failure of hydrocortisone to reduce collagen gene expression is also seen in fibroblasts from fetal dermis. We have reported similarities between keloid and fetal cells with regard to growth factor requirements and growth response to hydrocortisone. Thus, keloids may be due to the inappropriate expression of a pattern of growth and matrix production that is developmentally regulated. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin, complement, and histocompatibility antigen studies in keloid patients. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The increased collagen synthesis and deposition, which is characteristic of keloids, may be related to an immune response initiated by wounding. Therefore, we examined various systemic and localized immune parameters in keloid patients to establish if such factors are related to keloid pathogenesis. To determine if there is a systemic immune response, we compared the serum levels of IgG and IgM in keloid patients to those in a closely matched population. In addition, we measured complement levels (Clq, C3, and C4) and receptors for sheep (E), mouse erythrocytes (MRBC), and complement (EAC) on blood lymphocytes. All of these were in the normal range in the keloid patients. However, the extractable IgG from keloid tissue was significantly increased (compared to normal skin and normal scar controls), suggesting a localized immune response. To determine whether keloid formation is associated with a specific histocompatibility locus, human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) profiles of 45 keloid patients were analyzed; no significant differences in the incidence of HLA-A and B antigens were found (compared to 200 controls). These studies suggest that there is a localized immune response involved in keloid pathogenesis, one which is not related to either the HLA-A or B histocompatibility loci. 相似文献

Fibroblast heterogeneity in glucocorticoid regulation of collagen metabolism: Genetic or epigenetic?
James D. Russell Shirley B. Russell Kathryn M. Trupin 《In vitro cellular & developmental biology. Plant》1982,18(6):557-564
Summary Cultured fibroblasts derived from normal human dermis show a consistent 62% inhibition of collagen synthesis by hydrocortisone,
whereas cultures derived from keloids average only 30% inhibition and show a much larger strain to strain variation ranging
from 75% inhibition to 49% stimulation. Examination of fibroblast clones indicates that this high variation among keloid strains
is not due to differences in the proportion of normal and keloid cells in the mass culture populations. Small but significant
differences in the effect of hydrocortisone on collagen deposition are also seen among these clonal populations, but are not
related to the type of tissue from which cultures were derived. Two to three-fold differences among clones derived from a
single individual were observed, possibly suggesting functional heterogeneity of dermal fibroblasts with regard to collagen
metabolism under control conditions and in response to hydrocortisone. However, this variation among clones may simply reflect
differences in clonal growth, inasmuch as both collagen synthesis and deposition, and the effect of hydrocortisone on these
processes, are strongly affected by population density.

Abnormal balance between proliferation and apoptotic cell death in fibroblasts derived from keloid lesions 总被引:44,自引:0,他引:44
Luo S Benathan M Raffoul W Panizzon RG Egloff DV 《Plastic and reconstructive surgery》2001,107(1):87-96
A new culture model was developed to study the role of proliferation and apoptosis in the etiology of keloids. Fibroblasts were isolated from the superficial, central, and basal regions of six different keloid lesions by using Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium containing 10% fetal calf serum as a culture medium. The growth behavior of each fibroblast fraction was examined in short-term and long-term cultures, and the percentage of apoptotic cells was assessed by in situ end labeling of fragmented DNA. The fibroblasts obtained from the superficial and basal regions of keloid tissue showed population doubling times and saturation densities that were similar to those of age-matched normal fibroblasts. In contrast, the fibroblasts from the center of the keloid lesions showed significantly reduced doubling times (25.9 +/- 6.3 hours versus 43.5 +/- 6.3 hours for normal fibroblasts) and reached higher cell densities. In long-term culture, central keloid fibroblasts formed a stratified three-dimensional structure, contracted the self-produced extracellular matrix, and gave rise to nodular cell aggregates, mimicking the formation of keloid tissue. Apoptotic cells were detected in both normal and keloid-derived fibroblasts, but their numbers were twofold higher in normal cells compared with all keloid fibroblasts. To examine whether apoptosis mediates the therapeutic effect of ionizing radiation on keloids, the cells were exposed to gamma rays at a dose of 8 Gy. Under these conditions, a twofold increase in the population of apoptotic cells was detected. These results indicate that the balance between proliferation and apoptosis is impaired in keloid fibroblasts, which could be responsible for the formation of keloid tumors. The results also suggest that keloids contain at least two different fibroblast fractions that vary in growth behavior and extracellular matrix metabolism. 相似文献

The lysine (Lys) hydroxylation pattern of type I collagen produced by human fibroblasts in culture was analyzed and compared. Fibroblasts were cultured from normal human skin (NSF), keloid (KDF), fetal skin (FDF), and skin tissues of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIA and VIB patients (EDS-VIA and -VIB). The type I collagen alpha chains with or without non-helical telopeptides were purified from the insoluble matrix and analyzed. In comparison with NSFs, KDF and FDF showed significantly higher Lys hydroxylation, particularly in the telopeptide domains of both alpha chains. Both EDS-VIA and -VIB showed markedly lower Lys hydroxylation in the helical domains of both alpha chains whereas that in the telopeptides was comparable with those of NSFs. A similar profile was observed in the tissue sample of the EDS-VIB patient. These results demonstrate that the Lys hydroxylation pattern is domain-specific within the collagen molecule and that this method is useful to characterize the cell phenotypes in normal/pathological connective tissues. 相似文献

Keloid is a dermal fibrotic disease characterized by excessive accumulation of mainly type I collagen in extracellular matrix of the dermis. We have studied the expression levels of collagen types I and III, and its molecular chaperone HSP47 in keloid lesions and surrounding unaffected skin using Northern and Western blotting and immunohistochemical analyses. Collagen types I and III mRNA levels were found to be upregulated 20-fold in keloid tissues, contradicting previous reports of nearly normal type III collagen levels in this disease. HSP47 expression in keloid lesions was also highly upregulated; eightfold at mRNA level and more than 16-fold at the protein level. Strong upregulation of these three proteins in keloid was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. These results suggest that accumulation of both type I and type III collagen is important for the development of keloid lesions, and that HSP47 plays a role in the rapid and extensive synthesis of collagen in keloid tissues. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Increased vascular endothelial growth factor may account for elevated level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 via activating ERK1/2 in keloid fibroblasts 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Keloids are characterized as an "overexuberant" healing response in which disequilibrium between production and catabolism of extracellular matrix (ECM) occurs. Previous studies from our laboratory and others demonstrate an intrinsically higher level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression in keloid tissues and cultured fibroblasts compared with normal bordering skin. These findings support the concept that an altered balance of activator and inhibitor activities in the plasminogen system, in particular, an overexpression of PAI-1, may partly contribute to keloid formation and tissue fibrosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated as a critical factor in regulating angiogenesis and inflammation under both physiological and pathological conditions. This study was designed to assess whether VEGF plays a role in keloid fibrosis. We report that VEGF was expressed at higher levels in keloid tissues and their derived fibroblasts compared with their associated normal skin. We have further demonstrated that VEGF stimulated the expression of PAI-1, but not urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), in keloid fibroblasts at both mRNA and protein levels, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. However, treatment of normal skin fibroblasts with VEGF exerted little effects on PAI-1 gene expression. Additionally, we have characterized for the first time that the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 signaling pathway is mainly involved in VEGF-induced PAI-1 expression and have demonstrated its potential as a target molecule for modulation of scar fibrosis. These findings suggest that VEGF may play an important role in keloid formation by altering ECM homeostasis toward a state of impaired degradation and excessive accumulation. urokinase plasminogen activator; extracellular matrix; fibrosis 相似文献

Nitric oxide produced by iNOS is associated with collagen synthesis in keloid scar formation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Yi-Chiang Hsu Michael Hsiao Leng-Fang Wang Yie W. Chien Woan-Ruoh Lee 《Nitric oxide》2006,14(4):327-334
Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important mediator of many physiological functions. Recent reports have shown that NO participates in the wound healing process, however, its role in keloid formation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of NO on keloid fibroblasts (KF) and to determine the levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in clinical specimens of keloid. Scar tissue from seven keloid patients with matched perilesion skin tissue controls was studied for inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and location. In addition, primary keloid and normal scar skin fibroblast cultures were set up to investigate the effects of NO in inducing collagen type I expression. Inducible nitric oxide synthase expression, and NO production were elevated in keloid scar tissues but not in matched perilesion skin tissues. Furthermore, exposure of KF to exogenous NO resulted in increased expression of collagen type I in a dose-dependent manner. NO exposure also induced time-course dependent collagen I expression that peaked at 24h in KF. Taken together, these results indicate that excess collagen formations in keloid lesion may be attributed to iNOS overexpression. 相似文献
