Abstract
When exposed to thermal factors, collagen in the dermis denatures, which could affect the biological behavior of cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that denatured collagen could influence the activity of fibroblasts and induce fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts. However, information on the regulation of fibroblasts by denatured collagen-modulated autophagy and apoptosis during the wound healing process is limited. In this article, we researched the effect of denatured collagen-modulated autophagy and apoptosis on fibroblasts. An in vitro model comprising fibroblasts and denatured collagen was established to identify the potential ability of denatured collagen to modulate autophagy and apoptosis. Western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL assay, and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine the changes induced by denatured collage. Protein and mRNA levels of LC3 and beclin-1 were significantly increased after stimulated by denatured collagen, while those of caspase-3 were reduced. Unlike stimulation with normal collagen, denatured collagen enhanced autophagy and inhibited apoptosis of fibroblasts. After blocking autophagy using 3-methyladenine, the a...Continue Reading
