Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish experimental canine skin barrier disruption model, the study was designed to observe calcium ion in skin frozen tissue of canine skin and also the modulation of calcium ion distribution of normal skin with disrupted skin such as clipping, acetone, tape stripping damages according to time. To compare the changes of calcium ion gradient after damages, the distribution of calcium ion in the canine epidermis was visualized by blotting to gel containing chemical indicator (Calcium Green-1) with fluorescent microscope and the effects of skin barrier damages were examined according to time. Three mins and 1hr after acetone damage, the gradations of epidermis and hair follicle showed more radiant and disappeared after 48 hrs. On the contrary, 3mins and 1hr after tape stripping damage, the gradations showed more radiant than those of acetone damage, and these gradations were stabilized after 48 hrs. The method we presented here could show the visual image of the calcium ions in frozen tissue without further preparation, and it might be useful to investigate the role of calcium ion in the canine epidermal barrier recovery, however, it might be need further methodological improvement to get accurate quantitative information.

본 연구의 목적은 개 피부장벽 손상모델을 실험적으로 구현하기 위해 개의 정상피부, 제모 된 피부 그리고 아세톤 및 테잎 스트리립핑에 의한 손상된 피부에서의 표피내 칼슘이온의 분포를 관찰하였다. 피부손상에 따른 표피의 칼슘이온 변화도는 화학적 표시자(Calcium Green-1)가 포함된 gel blotting을 적용하여 피부장벽손상 효과를 시간에 따라 형광현미경으로 관찰하였다. 아세톤 손상 후 3분 및 1시간에 표피와 모낭의 칼슘이온의 차이를 나타내는 형광도차는 보다 밝게 관찰된 후 48시간 후에 소실되었다. 이와는 대조적으로, 테잎스트립핑손상 후 3분 및 1시간의 표피 칼슘이온의 형광도차는 아세톤 손상에서보다 더 밝게 보였다가 48시간 후에 소실되었다. 본 실험상의 방법을 통해 피부 손상 방법에 따른 표피 칼슘이온의 가시적 이미지를 관찰할 수 있었고, 표피내 농도차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 화학표시자를 이용한 염색법은 개 피부장벽 복구기전에 대한 칼슘이온의 역할을 규명하는데 유용할 것으로 판단되며, 추후 표피칼슘이온 농도의 정량분석법에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
