Human keratinocyte models: Assessment of cell adhesion and dermotoxicity using fluorescent probes

Abstract

To assess the molecular and cellular events that occur in the skin during biological and pharmaco-toxicological processes, we developed different in vitro models. Two major systems are described: (1) relatively simple ones such as normal human keratinocytes (NHK) grown in monolayer or continuous culture of spontaneously immortalized keratinocyte cells, the HaCaT cell line. This cell line forms a monolayer and displays the same phenotypic morphology, pattern of differentiation markers as NHK. (2) More complex models such as NHK multilayers differentiated on a synthetic porous membrane. Indeed, NHK grown at the air-liquid interface of culture inserts may undergo epidermal differentiation in 21 days (Noël-Hudson et al., 1995a). Under the same culture conditions, no stratification of the HaCaT cell line was obtained. NHK and/or HaCaT monolayers were used to study the cell surface molecules involved in heterologous cell interactions, and to estimate the cytotoxic effects of different compounds through a sensitive fluorimetric microtitration assay. When cell adhesion was measured with calcein-AM labelled lymphocytes, it appeared that lymphocytes display the same behaviour towards NHK or HaCaT cells. The importance of the activation s...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
