The purpose of this study were to determined the effect of laser irradiation on the fibroblast activity. Cultures of 3T3 fibroblasts were subjected to Helium Neon laser(632.8 nm) irradiation of various energy density. On one, two and three consecutive days the fibroblast monolayers wert irradiated for period from 0 to 32 minutes with 8 mW of average output power. The fibroblast activity was determined by the quantitative assay of MTT, SRB and NR after incubation of the fibroblasts for 24 hours. Results show that exposure duration from 2 min to 32 min could increase MTT at three consecutive days, whereas control and 1 min, one and two days irradiation had were not inclosed. The SRB and NR were inclosed at two and three consecutive days from 2 min to 32 min, whereas control and 1 min, and once radiation were not increased. These result demonstrate that energy density from 0.48 to 7.64 J/cm could increase cellular protein contents and fibroblast activity at more than twice irradiation of laser, whereas low energy density (less than 0.24 J/m) and once irradiation of laser had no effect. The results suggest that the beneficial effect of the He-Ne laser with adequate dose on fibroblast activity in vitro.

Many researchers revealed that collagen contribute to maintaining the skin’s elasticity and inhibit wrinkling of skin. Korean native cattle (Hanwoo) bone (leg bone, foot and tail) infusion contains the various inorganic materials, collagen and chondroitin sulfate. All of this, a large quantity of collagen is included in Hanwoo infusion. Therefore, this study emphasized on the effects of collagen in the Hanwoo bone infusion. For the first time, Hanwoo bone infusions were directly added to the media of Human Dermal Fibroblast (NHDF-c) to test anti-aging effects. First, it was identified that growth rate of skin fibroblast was increased. Furthermore, the Hanwoo bone infusion increased a 50% of fibroblast collagen synthesis. Also, suppression of skin fibroblast aging was confirmed by treatment Hanwoo bone infusion. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the effects of infusion made from Hanwoo leg bone, foot and tail on anti-aging, wrinkle inhibiting and skin fibroblast elasticity maintaining. Therefore, this study identified that traditional infusion has effects that are good for skin elasticity.

The periodontium is a topographically complex organ consisting of epithelial tissue, soft and mineralized tissues. Structures comprising the periodontium include the gingiva, periodontal ligament (PDL) , cementum and the alveolar bone. The molecular mechanism of differentiation in PDL fibroblast cells remain unclear. Amino acid transporters play an important role in supplying nutrition to normal and cancer cells and for cell proliferation. Amino acid transport system L is a major nutrient transport system responsible for the Na+-independent transport of neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids. The system L is divided into two major subgroups, the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) and the L-type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2). In this study, the expression pattern of amino acid transport system L was, therefore, investigated in the differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells. To determine the expression level of amino acid transport system L participating in intracellular transport of amino acids in the differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells, it was examined by RT-PCR, observation of cell morphology, Alizaline red-S staining and uptake analysis after inducing experimental differentiation in PDL fibroblast cells isolated from mouse molar teeth. The results are as follows. 1. The LAT1 mRNA was expressed in the early stage of PDL fibroblast cell differentiation. This expression level was gradually reduced by differentiation- inducing time and it was not observed after the late stage. 2. The expression level of LAT2 mRNA was increased in time-dependent manner during differentiation induction of PDL fibroblast cells. 3. There was no changes in. the expression level of 4F2hc mRNA, the cofactor of LAT1 and LAT2, during differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells. 4. The expression level of ALP mRNA was gradually increased and the expression level of Col I mRNA was decreased during differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells. 5. The L-leucine transport was reduced by time from the early stage to the late stage in PDL fibroblast cell differentiation. As the results, it is considered that among neutral ammo acid transport system L in differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells, the LATl has a key role in cell proliferation in the early stage of cell differentiation and the LAT2 has an important role in the late stage of cell differentiation for providing cells with neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids.

간흡충(Clonorchis sinensis)은 우리나라에서 높은 감염률(2.9%)을 나타내는 기생충으로(KAHP, 2004), 간흡충에 감염된 담관은 간흡충의 흡반에 의한 물리적 자극과 대사산물 및 분비물 등의 화학적 자극에 의해 담관염이 일어나고, 간흡충이 성장할 때 충체 주위의 담관 상피세포의 증식, 탈락, 담관 주위의 염증 및 섬유화가 일어난다. 담관 점막에 분포하는 섬유모세포는 결합조직을 구성하는 세포의 한 종류로서 세포질돌기들이 잘 발달된 형태적 특징이 있으며, 세포질 내에 세포의 형태 유지, 신호전달, 인접세포와의 연접 등에 관여한다. 또한 조직을 발달시키고, 조직이 손상된 부위에서 콜라겐 층을 형성하여 손상된 조직이 복구되도록 하기도 한다. 상처의 반흔(scar) 형성과 지방축적, 염증(inflammation) 발생 과정에서 섬유모세포의 작용이 제대로 조절되지 못하면 섬유증(fibrosis)이 발달하게 된다는 연구 보고도 있다. 본 연구에서는 정상 흰쥐에서 분리된 담관 섬유모세포와 간흡충 감염 흰쥐에서 분리된 담관 섬유모세포를 배양하고, 각각의 실험군에 간흡충 분비배설 물질(Cs excretory-secretory product, ESP)을 첨가하여 배양하였다. 배양된 섬유모세포의 미세구조 변화와 세포 표면에 존재하는 sialic acid 및 actin의 분포를 전자현미경으로 관찰하여, 간흡충 감염에 따른 섬유모세포의 변화 및 간흡충 분비배설 물질의 자극에 따른 섬유모세포의 변화를 관찰하여 흰쥐의 담관 섬유모세포와 간흡충 감염과의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 정상 흰쥐 담관에서 분리한 섬유모세포(G1)에 비하여 간흡충에 감염된 흰쥐 담관에서 분리한 섬유모세포(G2)와 간흡충 분비배설 물질을 첨가하여 배양한 섬유모세포(G1-1, G2-1)의 증식속도가 느린 것이 확인되었다. 세포질돌기의 수는 간흡충에 감염된 흰쥐의 담관으로부터 분리된 섬유모세포(G2)에서 가장 많은 수가 관찰되었고, 배양배지에 분비배설 물질을 첨가하면 정상 담관의 섬유모세포에서도 세포질돌기가 증가하였다. 따라서 간흡충 대사물질은 섬유모세포의 세포질돌기형성을 촉진시키는 것으로 생각된다. 간흡충에 감염된 흰쥐 담관에서 분리한 섬유모세포(G2)의 소포체는 정상 담관에서 분리된 섬유모세포(G1)의 것에 비하여 감소하는 양상을 나타내었고, 여기에 분비배설 물질을 첨가하면 섬유모세포의 소포체가 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 그리고 세포표면에 분비되는 sialic acid는 주로 세포질의 소포낭 주변에서 관찰되었으며, 정상 섬유모세포(G1, G1-1)보다 감염된 섬유모세포(G2, G2-1)에서 증가하였다. Actin은 세포표면과 세포질돌기에서 주로 관찰되었으며, 정상 섬유모세포(G1, G1-1)보다 감염된 섬유모세포(G2, G2-1)에서 반응이 증가하였고, 간흡충 분비배설 물질을 첨가하면 G1-1은 반응이 증가하고, G2-1은 반응이 감소하는 것이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 간흡충에 감염된 흰쥐 담관의 섬유모세포는 세포질돌기들이 매우 발달하며, actin단백과 sialic acid가 증가하여 세포변형을 초래하게 된다. 또한 간흡충 감염으로 손상된 담관의 섬유모세포로 구성된 결합조직은 정상으로 회복되지 않으며, 세포질 부피 및 세포질돌기의 증가는 이루어지지만 간흡충 대사물질의 영향으로 섬유모세포의 분열 및 성장 속도가 억제되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과 간흡충 감염으로 손상된 숙주의 담관 결합조직과 섬유모세포들은 간흡충 대사물질에 의하여 변형을 일으키고, 세포 활성 및 증식이 저하되므로 팽대된 담관은 간흡충이 사멸된다 하더라도 원상회복이 불가능할 것으로 생각된다.

The wound healing process in fetus is quite different form that of adult. Regeneration plays an important role and scarless wound healing is possible in early gestational fetal period. Recently, the various effects of the hypoxia and reoxygenation in the wound healing process have been investigated by many researchers. The hypoxic state is known to alter protein synthesis and gene expression of TGF-${\beta}$, VEGF. The authors hypothesize there may be differences between fetal and adult fibroblast and this difference may play a possible role in the mechanism of scarless fetal wound healing. In this study, we investigated the growth of fibroblast, the amount of collagen deposition, the amount of protein synthesis and gene expression in TGF-${\beta}$(transforming growth factor-${\beta}$), VEGF(vascular endothelial growth factor) under the various hypoxic and reoxygenation conditions. Through these processes, we tried to determine the relationships between scarless fetal wound healing and hypoxic condition. In control group, fetal and adult fibroblasts were cultured under normoxic condition. The experimental groups were allocated into four different groups. The differences in TGF-beta, VEGF under 24, 48, 72 hours were statistically investigated. Compared to adult fibroblast group, there was a statistically significant increase (p<0.01) in the rates of protein synthesis in TGF-beta and VEGF of fetal fibroblast. In this study, these results may reflect the possibility that fetal fibroblast are more susceptible to change in oxygen and has a superior rate of angiogenesis through increased VEGF expression. The possible superiority of angiogenesis in fetal fibroblast may play an important role in scarless wound healing.

The peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) was immobilized through their amino terminus to ends of a sugar bearing copolymer, producing a functional hybrid copolymer. Poly(N-p-vinylbenzyl-D-maltonamide-co-6-(p-vinylbenzamido)-hexanoic acid-g-GRGDS) [p(VMA-co-VBGRGDS)] promoted the attachment and growth of NIH fibroblast cells. The interaction between fibroblast cells and p(VMA-co- VBGRGDS) copolymer resulted in effective cell attachment, proliferation, and morphological changes by introduction of a GRGDS sequence. Moreover, when pretreated with soluble RGD monomer, attachment of fibroblast cells was suppressed approximately 50% from that of the p(VMA-co-VBGRGDS) surface.

Kimchi showed protective effect from oxidative damage generated by hydrogen peroxide and paraquat. To investigate the major components of kimchi which reduce the cytotoxicity against reactive oxygen species, keratinocyte(A431, epidermoid carcinoma, human) and fibroblast(CCD-986SK, normal control, human) were cultured under oxidative stress condition provoked by paraquat, a superoxide anion generator, and hydrogen peroxide in the absence or presence of kimchi ingredients. Most keratinocyte and fibroblast cells were killed by hydrogen peroxide and paraquat over 1mM concentration, but kimchi ingredients showed protective effects from oxidative damage generated by hydrogen peroxide and onion, among those, garlic showed the most remarkable preventive effect. Most of kimchi ingredients showed protective effect against paraquat, especially leek notably increased cell survival. For fibroblast cells, ginger had the preventive effect against paraquat, especially leek notably increased cell survival. For fibroblast cells, ginger had the preventive effect from cell killing by high dose of hydrogen peroxide, but most ingredients were not effective against paraquat.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of mitomycin C on conjunctival fibroblast proliferation and apoptosis. Rabbit conjunctival fibroblast mono layers were treated with 48 hours application of mitomycin-C. The viability of cells was evauated by MTT assay. To examine the effect of mitomycin-C on the cell proliferation, immunocytochemistry for BrdU staning was performed. Then, we investigated whether mitomycin-C induced cell's apoptosis by TUNEL staining. As a result of MTT assay, the viability of cells was gradually inhibited in a dose dependent manner by mitomycin-C. The BrdU staining showed that mitomycin-C significantly suppressed the proliferation of conjunctival fibroblast at concentrations of 0.02% or more. When TUNEL assays were performed, the number of apoptotic cells increased 5.6-, 18.5-, and 33.8-fold compared with the control at 0.01, 0.02, and 0.04%, respectively, of mitomycin-C at 48 hours of exposure. Therefore, mitomycin-C may be useful as a regulator in the treatment of corneal diseases that manifest with scar formation and tumor of fibroblast expansion.
