A human dermal replacement has been developed by seeding human neonatal dermal fibroblasts onto a biosorbable polyglactin (polyglycolide/polylactide) mesh and culturing in a bioreactor. The mesh provides the proper environment for the cells to attach, grow in a three-dimensional array, and establish a tissue matrix over a 2- to 3-week culture period. The dermal replacement has been characterized and found to contain a variety of naturally occurring dermal matrix proteins, including fibronectin, glycosaminoglycans, and collagen types I and III. To efficiently and reproducibly produce this dermal tissue equivalent, a closed, single-pass perfusion system was developed and compared with a static process. In the single-pas perfusion system, growth medium (containing ascorbic acid) was perfused around the 4 x 6 in. pieces of mesh at specific flow rates determined by nutrient consumption and waste production rates. The flow rates used for this system indicate that a diffusion-limited regime exists with a mean residence time greater than 1 h for essential nutrients and factors. By controlling glucose concentrations in the system to a delta of 0.70 g/L from the inlet to the outlet of the bioreactor, it took 6 fewer days to grow a tissue similar to that produced by the static system. 相似文献

Cryopreservation of tissue-engineered human dermal replacement plays an important role in skin tissue engineering and skin banking. With the inspection of electronic scanning microscope and viability evaluation by Trypan Blue staining assay and the tetrazolium salt, MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, this study investigated the toxicity of Me(2)SO to dermal fibroblasts and effects of cryoprotectant concentration and cooling rate on the viability of dermal replacement. The results demonstrated that the Me(2)SO toxicity to fibroblasts was affected by the exposure time, temperature, and concentration. Furthermore adding cryoprotectant solution at low temperature of 4 degrees C significantly reduced the toxic effect on the tissue-engineered dermal equivalent. An optimal cryopreservation protocol consisting of cooling rate at 1 degrees Cmin(-1) in 10% (V/V) Me(2)SO was derived, with the viability of studied dermal equivalent treated by this protocol being 75% of that of fresh control. The micrograph obtained by electronic scanning microscope also confirmed this result. 相似文献

Human Dermal Fibroblasts Demonstrate Positive Immunostaining for Neuron- and Glia- Specific Proteins

In stem cell cultures from adult human tissue, undesirable contamination with fibroblasts is frequently present. The presence of fibroblasts obscures the actual number of stem cells and may result in extracellular matrix production after transplantation. Identification of fibroblasts is difficult because of the lack of specific fibroblast markers. In our laboratory, we isolate and expand neural-crest-derived stem cells from human hair follicle bulges and investigate their potential to differentiate into neural cells. To establish cellular identities, we perform immunohistochemistry with antibodies specific for glial and neuronal markers, and use fibroblasts as negative control. We frequently observe that human adult dermal fibroblasts also express some glial and neuronal markers. In this study, we have sought to determine whether our observations represent actual expression of these markers or result from cross-reactivity. Immunohistochemistry was performed on human adult dermal fibroblasts using acknowledged glial and neuronal antibodies followed by verification of the data using RT-qPCR. Human adult dermal fibroblasts showed expression of the glia-specific markers SOX9, glial fibrillary acidic protein and EGR2 (KROX20) as well as for the neuron-specific marker class III β-tubulin, both at the protein and mRNA level. Furthermore, human adult dermal fibroblasts showed false-positive immunostaining for S100β and GAP43 and to a lower extent for OCT6. Our results indicate that immunophenotyping as a tool to determine cellular identity is not as reliable as generally assumed, especially since human adult dermal fibroblasts may be mistaken for neural cells, indicating that the ultimate proof of glial or neuronal identity can only be provided by their functionality. 相似文献

The phenomenon of fibroblast overgrowth is one of the major problems encountered during long-term culture of more slowly growing specialized cell types. A cell surface glycoprotein, Thy-1, which was originally found to be present on murine T-lymphocytes and brain cells, is also found to be present on only a few human cell types, mainly fibroblasts and neuronal cells. We have taken advantage of this fact, using a solid-phase immunoadsorption technique termed "panning", to rid our culture system (normal human keratinocytes) of contaminating dermal fibroblasts. A mouse monoclonal antibody raised against human brain Thy-1 was used to attach dermal fibroblasts to a goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin-coated plastic surface. By this method we were able to separate a 1:1 mixture of human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes with greater than 97.5% efficiency. Furthermore we have successfully removed dermal fibroblasts from naturally arising contaminated keratinocyte cultures, where the proportion of fibroblasts (less than 10%) was considerably less than that of the artificially mixed populations. These results compare favorably with those expected of the fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) method of cell separation. In addition this technique is comparatively simple and inexpensive and is thought to be of use to other primary tissue culture systems (especially human) where contamination and subsequent overgrowth with fibroblasts remains a problem. 相似文献

Autophagy is an intracellular degradative system that is believed to be involved in the aging process. The contribution of autophagy to age-related changes in the human skin is unclear. In this study, we examined the relationship between autophagy and skin aging. Transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy analyses of skin tissue and cultured dermal fibroblasts derived from women of different ages revealed an increase in the number of nascent double-membrane autophagosomes with age. Western blot analysis showed that the amount of LC3-II, a form associated with autophagic vacuolar membranes, was significantly increased in aged dermal fibroblasts compared with that in young dermal fibroblasts. Aged dermal fibroblasts were minimally affected by inhibition of autophagic activity. Although lipofuscin autofluorescence was elevated in aged dermal fibroblasts, the expression of Beclin-1 and Atg5—genes essential for autophagosome formation—was similar between young and aged dermal fibroblasts, suggesting that the increase of autophagosomes in aged dermal fibroblasts was due to impaired autophagic flux rather than an increase in autophagosome formation. Treatment of young dermal fibroblasts with lysosomal protease inhibitors, which mimic the condition of aged dermal fibroblasts with reduced autophagic activity, altered the fibroblast content of type I procollagen, hyaluronan and elastin, and caused a breakdown of collagen fibrils. Collectively, these findings suggest that the autophagy pathway is impaired in aged dermal fibroblasts, which leads to deterioration of dermal integrity and skin fragility. 相似文献

Unlike skin, oral gingiva do not scar in response to injury. The basis of this difference is likely to be revealed by comparing the responses of dermal and gingival fibroblasts to fibrogenic stimuli. Previously, we showed that, compared to dermal fibroblasts, gingival fibroblasts are less responsive to the potent pro-fibrotic cytokine TGFβ, due to a reduced production of endothelin-1 (ET-1). In this report, we show that, compared to dermal fibroblasts, human gingival fibroblasts show reduced expression of pro-adhesive mRNAs and proteins including integrins α2 and α4 and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Consistent with these observations, gingival fibroblasts are less able to adhere to and spread on both fibronectin and type I collagen. Moreover, the enhanced production of ET-1 mRNA and protein in dermal fibroblasts is reduced by the FAK/src inhibitor PP2. Given our previous observations suggesting that fibrotic fibroblasts display elevated adhesive properties, our data suggest that scarring potential may be based, at least in part, on differences in adhesive properties among fibroblasts resident in connective tissue. Controlling adhesive properties may be of benefit in controlling scarring in response to tissue injury. 相似文献

In standard tissue culture conditions (20% oxygen), single human dermal fibroblasts (one cell per well) do not proliferate. We now report that low oxygen tension is a potent stimulus for the proliferation and expansion of human adult and neonatal dermal fibroblasts seeded as single cells. This preferential single-cell proliferation in low oxygen is shown to be also a feature of human lung and dermal rodent fibroblasts, but not of human fibrosarcoma and immortalized 3T3 cells, which proliferate without difficulty in standard oxygen conditions. It is suggested that single-cell proliferation and its dramatic stimulation in low oxygen may represent a fundamental biologic process with an opportunity to better understand mammalian cell growth regulation. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We examined effects of fibroblasts of different origin on long-term maintenance of xenotransplanted human epidermal keratinocytes. A suspension of cultured epidermal cells, originating from adult human trunk skin, was injected into double mutant immunodeficient (BALB/c nu/scid) mice subcutaneously, with or without cultured fibroblastic cells of different origin. At one week after transplantation, the epidermal cells generated epidermoid cysts consisting of human epidermis-like tissue. When the epidermal cells were injected alone or together with fibroblastic cells derived from human bone marrow, muscle fascia, or murine dermis, organized epidermoid cysts regressed within 6 weeks. In contrast, when the epidermal cells were injected together with human dermal fibroblasts, generated epidermoid cysts were maintained in vivo for more than 24 weeks. Histological examination showed that the reorganized epidermis, after injection of both epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, retained normal structures of the original epidermis during 6 to 24 weeks after transplantation. The results indicate that human dermal fibroblasts facilitate the long-term maintenance of the reorganized epidermis after xenotransplantation of cultured human epidermal keratinocytes by supporting self renewal of the human epidermal tissue in vivo. 相似文献

The ultimate goal of vascular tissue engineering is the production of functional grafts for clinical use. Difficulties acquiring autologous endothelial cells have motivated the search for alternative cell sources. Differentiation of dermal fibroblasts towards several mesenchymal lineages as well as endothelial cells has been proposed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the endothelial differentiation capacity of human dermal fibroblasts on a gene expression, protein expression and functional physiological level. Endothelial differentiation of fibroblasts was induced by culturing cells in 30% human serum, but not in fetal calf serum. Expression of proteins and genes relevant for endothelial function and differentiation was increased after induction. Furthermore, fibroblasts exposed to 30% human serum displayed increased uptake of low-density lipoprotein and formation of capillary-like networks. The results of this study may have an impact on cell sourcing for vascular tissue engineering, and the development of methods for vascularization of autologous tissue engineered constructs. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta stimulates the production of the extracellular matrix, whereas TNF-alpha has antifibrotic activity. Understanding the molecular mechanism underlying the antagonistic activities of TNF-alpha against TGF-beta is critical in the context of tissue repair and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. In the present study, we demonstrated a novel mechanism by which TNF-alpha blocks TGF-beta-induced gene and signaling pathways in human dermal fibroblasts. We showed that TNF-alpha prevents TGF-beta-induced gene trans activation, such as alpha2(I) collagen or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1, and TGF-beta signaling pathways, such as Smad3, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, without inducing levels of inhibitory Smad7 in human dermal fibroblasts. TNF-alpha down-regulates the expression of type II TGF-beta receptor (TbetaRII) proteins, but not type I TGF-beta receptor (TbetaRI), in human dermal fibroblasts. However, neither TbetaRII mRNA nor TbetaRII promoter activity was decreased by TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha-mediated decrease of TbetaRII protein expression was not inhibited by the treatment of fibroblasts with either a selective inhibitor of I-kappaB-alpha phosphorylation, BAY 11-7082, or a mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor, PD98059. Calpain inhibitor I (ALLN), a protease inhibitor, inhibits TNF-alpha-mediated down-regulation of TbetaRII. We found that TNF-alpha triggered down-regulation of TbetaRII, leading to desensitization of human dermal fibroblasts toward TGF-beta. Furthermore, these events seemed to cause a dramatic down-regulation of alpha2(I) collagen and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 in systemic sclerosis fibroblasts. These results indicated that TNF-alpha impaired the response of the cells to TGF-beta by regulating the turnover of TbetaRII. 相似文献

Full thickness skin wounds in humans heal with scars, but without regeneration of the dermis. A degradable poly(urethane urea) scaffold (PUUR), Artelon® is already used to reinforce soft tissues in orthopaedics, and for treatment of osteoarthritis of the hand, wrist and foot. In this paper we have done in vitro experiments followed by in vivo studies to find out whether the PUUR is biocompatible and usable as a template for dermal regeneration. Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured on discs of PUUR, with different macrostructures (fibrous and porous). They adhered to and migrated into the scaffolds, and produced collagen. The porous scaffold was judged more suitable for clinical applications and 4 mm Ø, 2 mm-thick discs of porous scaffold (12% w/w or 9% w/w polymer solution) were inserted intradermally in four healthy human volunteers. The implants were well tolerated and increasing ingrowth of fibroblasts was seen over time in all subjects. The fibroblasts stained immunohistochemically for procollagen and von Willebrand factor, indicating neocollagenesis and angiogenesis within the scaffolds. The PUUR scaffold may be a suitable material to use as a template for dermal regeneration.Key words: dermal regeneration, tissue engineering, polymer scaffold, wound healing, in vitro, in vivo, guided tissue regeneration, human, burns 相似文献

Termination of wound-healing process requires a fine balance between connective tissue deposition and its hydrolysis. Previously, we have demonstrated that keratinocyte-releasable stratifin, also known as 14-3-3 sigma protein, stimulates collagenase (MMP-1) expression in dermal fibroblasts. However, role of extracellular stratifin in regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) factors and other matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in dermal fibroblast remains unexplored. To address this question, large-scale ECM gene expression profile were analyzed in human dermal fibroblasts co-cultured with keratinocytes or treated with recombinant stratifin. Superarray pathway-specific microarrays were utilized to identify upregulation or downregulation of 96 human ECM and adhesion molecule genes. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to validate microarray expression profiles of selected genes. Comparison of gene profiles with the appropriate controls showed a significant (more than twofold) increase in expression of collagenase-1, stromelysin-1 and -2, neutrophil collagenase, and membrane type 5 MMP in dermal fibroblasts treated with stratifin or co-cultured with keratinocytes. Expression of type I collagen and fibronectin genes decreased in the same fibroblasts. The results of a dose-response experiment showed that stratifin stimulates the expression of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) mRNA by dermal fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent fashion. Furthermore, Western blot analysis of fibroblast-conditioned medium showed a peak in MMP-3 protein levels 48 h following treatment with recombinant stratifin. In a lasting-effect study, MMP-3 protein was detected in fibroblast-condition medium for up to 72 h post removal of stratifin. In conclusion, our results suggest that keratinocyte-releasable stratifin plays a major role in induction of ECM degradation by dermal fibroblasts through stimulation of key MMPs, such as MMP-1 and MMP-3. Therefore, stratifin protein may prove to be a useful target for clinical intervention in controlling excessive wound healing in fibrotic conditions. 相似文献

Adipocytes were recently shown to secrete adipocytokines, such as adiponectin and leptin, which may have an endocrine role. Subcutaneous adipose tissue lies just beneath the dermis, and dermal condition is correlated with body mass index (BMI). However, it is not clear whether adipocytokines released by adipocytes in subcutaneous adipose tissue influence the adjacent dermis. We found that human dermal fibroblasts express genes encoding receptors for adiponectin and leptin, and that those cytokines both significantly increase production of hyaluronic acid (HA), a major extracellular matrix component (ECM) of dermis, by dermal fibroblasts. This effect is accompanied with up-regulation of HA synthase 2 gene expression. Moreover, adiponectin significantly increases production of collagen, the most abundant component of ECM in dermis, by dermal fibroblasts. These results suggest that subcutaneous adipocytes influence dermal condition by up-regulating collagen and HA production by dermal fibroblasts via secretion of adiponectin and leptin. 相似文献

Production of monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) by human dermal fibroblasts in response to interleukin 1 or tumor necrosis factor 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

Normal human dermal fibroblasts rapidly expressed (less than 30 min.) considerable mRNA for monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) and released high levels of biological activity in response to interleukin 1 (IL 1) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF). In contrast, cultured normal human keratinocytes did not express MCAF mRNA when stimulated with IL 1 or TNF. These results suggest the important role of dermal fibroblasts, the predominant cells in dermal connective tissue, in the recruitment of monocytes during inflammation. This is the first report of the induction of MCAF by IL 1 or TNF in any cell type. 相似文献

The technology for culture of epidermis is one of the most advanced to date for generation of a tissue in vitro. Cultured epidermis is already used for a number of applications ranging from use as a permanent skin replacement to use as an organotypic culture model for toxicity testing and basic research. While simple epidermal sheets have been grafted successfully, more advanced models for skin replacement consisting of both dermal and epidermal components are in development and being tested in a number of laboratories. One of the most advanced in vitro models is the living skin equivalent, an organotypic model consisting of a collagen lattice contracted and nourished by dermal fibroblasts overlaid with a fully formed epidermis. 相似文献

In nested collagen matrices, human fibroblasts migrate from cell-containing dermal equivalents into surrounding cell-free outer matrices. Time-lapse microscopy showed that in addition to cell migration, collagen fibril flow occurred in the outer matrix toward the interface with the dermal equivalent. Features of this flow suggested that it depends on the same cell motile machinery that normally results in cell migration. Collagen fibril flow was capable of producing large-scale tissue translocation as shown by closure of a approximately 1-mm gap between paired dermal equivalents in floating, nested collagen matrices. Our findings demonstrate that when fibroblasts interact with collagen matrices, tractional force exerted by the cells can couple to matrix translocation as well as to cell migration. 相似文献

Expression of stromal-derived factor-1 is decreased by IL-1 and TNF and in dermal wound healing 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

Stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a CXC chemokine that is believed to be constitutively expressed by stromal cells of numerous tissues. In this report, we demonstrate that dermal fibroblasts and vessels of noninflamed tissues express SDF-1. Unexpectedly, we found that expression of SDF-1 is regulated by inflammation. Expression of SDF-1 by primary cultures of human gingival fibroblasts is potently inhibited by activated macrophages via secretion of IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha. Levels of SDF-1 mRNA also decrease in acutely inflamed mouse dermal wounds. We propose that SDF-1 functions as a homeostatic regulator of tissue remodeling, whose expression stabilizes existing dermal architecture. 相似文献

In microvessels, periendothelial cells expressing alpha smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA) interact with the endothelial cells and are essential for vessel maturation and stabilization. In adult tissues, the cellular origin of the periendothelial cells is still not clear, in particular in humans. To determine the origin of human periendothelial cells, we used a recently developed 3D co-culture system that mimics human skin connective tissue. This system is composed of normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF), human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1), and a collagen matrix. In this system, "microvessels" composed of an endothelial lumen associated with periendothelial cells develop. Using this co-culture system, we (i) labelled fibroblasts with the vital dye CFDA-SE, cultured them with unlabelled endothelial cells, and observed that only endothelium-associated CFDA-SE-labelled cells express alphaSMA; (ii) infected endothelial cells with a retrovirus stably expressing eGFP, cultured them with unlabelled fibroblasts, and observed that cells expressing alphaSMA did not co-express eGFP, but were associated with the eGFP-expressing endothelial cells of the microvessels. Together, these results indicate that periendothelial cells arise by differentiation from fibroblasts and that they require interaction with endothelial cells to do so. 相似文献
