Epidermal regulation of dermal fibroblast activity

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Abstract

Although the association between delayed burn wound healing and subsequent hypertrophic scar formation is well-established, the mechanism for this relationship is unknown. Unhealed burn wounds lack an epidermis, suggesting a possible regulatory role for the epidermis in controlling dermal fibroblast matrix synthesis. Therefore, we examined the effect of epidermal cells and media conditioned by epidermal cells on fibroblast collagen synthesis and replication. Purified fibroblast and keratinocyte cell strains were developed from discarded normal adult human skin. Conditioned media were created by incubation of cytokine-free and serum-free medium with either confluent fibroblast or keratinocyte cultures for 18 hours (n = 3). Nearly confluent fibroblast cultures were exposed for 48 hours to graded concentrations of either unconditioned medium (control), conditioned medium, or varying numbers of keratinocytes. Replication was quantified by the incorporation of 3H-thymidine. Collagen synthesis was measured by the incorporation of 3H-proline into collagenase-sensitive protein. Data were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression. Keratinocyte conditioned medium induced a significant increase in replication (n = ...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
