Wound healing is a complex process that includes inflammation, granulation tissue formation, re-epithelialization, and remodeling. We reported previously that BuOH fraction from Hydnocarpi Semen (HS) crude extract exhibited wound healing activity in animal ulcer models. In this study, we investigated whether BuOH fraction activates keratinocyte and fibroblast via wound closure test and migration assay. In the scratch test, BuOH fraction accelerated the closure of a monolayer wound scratch at $100{\mu}g/mL$. After treatment with BuOH fraction for 18 h, keratinocytes showed a increase in migration at $25{\mu}g/mL$, whereas the migration of fibroblast increased significantly at $100{\mu}g/mL$ of BuOH fraction compared to control. The mechanism that the BuOH fraction of HS helps to promote healing by inflammation is possibly associated with the migration of keratinocyte and fibroblast.

Human fibroblast-derived multi-peptide factors (MPFs) have been used during treatments with energy-delivering modalities to enhance energy-induced tissue reactions. Human fibroblast-derived MPFs, which include a range of growth factors and chemoattractive factors, activate and recruit fibroblasts and endothelial cells, as well as promote extracellular matrix deposition, all of which are crucial to wound repair. Interestingly, fibroblasts from different species or anatomical sites exhibit distinct transcriptional properties with high heterogeneity. In addition, the patterns of MPF secretion can differ under a range of experimental conditions. Therefore, the use of allogeneic fibroblasts and proper cultivation thereof are necessary to obtain MPFs that can enhance the epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during wound repair. Moreover, energy-delivering devices should be selected according to evidence demonstrating their therapeutic efficacy and safety on a pathological skin condition and the major target skin layers. This paper reviewed the histologic patterns of post-treatment tissue reactions elicited by several energy sources, including non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers, intense focused ultrasound, non-invasive and invasive radiofrequency, picosecond-domain lasers, and argon and nitrogen plasma. The possible role of the immediate application of human fibroblast-derived MPFs during wound repair was proposed.

Interspecies nuclear transfer has been interested to determine ability of oocyte cytoplasm to support reprogramming of somatic cell nuclei of different species. In this study, we investigated developmental ability and mRNA expression patterns of developmentally important genes in bovine reconstructed embryos using a mouse fibroblast cell nucleus. While 20% nuclear transferred embryos with bovine fibroblast developed to morulae/blastocysts, a few(2-5%) nuclear transferred bovine embryos with mouse fibroblast developed to morula. (omitted)

본 논문은 인공 진피와 조직공학용 scaffold로 이용하기 위해 다공성 membrane로서 gelatin-based sponge의 효율성을 연구하였다. 불용성의 다공성 membrane은 1-ethyl-(3-3dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide(EDC)로 가교하여 제조하였다. Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) 그리고 Instron analysis로 다공성 membrane의 특성을 조사하였다. 다공성 membrane은 용적당 큰 표면적을 제공하는 micro porous한 구조를 가지고 있다. Gelatin/hyaluronic acid (HA) membrane의 공경크기는 40~200$\mu\textrm{m}$이다. HA의 첨가는 다공성 membrane의 기계적 강도와 세포부착능력에 영향을 미쳤다. Gelatin/HA 다공성 membrane의 압축강도는 collagen과 비슷하며, 세포배양과 인공진피 transplantation에 있어서의 충분한 기계적 강도를 가지고 있다. Fibroblasts를 함유한 진피기질을 제조하기 위해 직경 8mm의 다공성 membran에 4$\times$10(sup)5cells/membrane의 세포밀도로 fibroblast를 배양하였다. GH91 porous membrane에서의 fibroblast 부착성은 GH55 porous membrane에서보다 우수하였다. 삼차원 구조의 gelatin/HA membrane matrix에서의 fibroblast의 배양은 생체내 조건과 유사한 생리적 환경을 제공하였다.

Achondroplasia is autosomal dominant genetic disease and fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is currently known to be the only gene that causes achondroplasia. Gain-of function mutation in fibroblast-growth-factor-receptor 3 (FGFR3) causes the disease and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) antagonizes FGFR3 downstream signaling by inhibiting the pathway of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). As FGFR3-related skeletal dysplasias are caused by growth attenuation of the cartilage, chondrocytes appear to be unique in their response to FGFR3 activation. However, the full spectrum of molecular events by which FGFR3 mediates its signaling is just beginning to emerge. This article summaries the mechanisms of FGFR3 function in skeletal dysplasias, the extraordinary cellular manifestations of FGFR3 signaling in chondrocytes, and finally, the progress toward therapy for ACH.

Chlorhexidine and Listerine are widely used in dentistry due to its effectiveness on plaque control and bactericidal action. The effects of these agent on chronic gingivitis and wound healing following surgical periodontal therapy in human has been favorable. Understanding the effects of chlorhexidine and Listerine on human gingival fibroblast will provide the rationale for its use during the healing process of periodontal surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of chlorhexidine and Listerine on human gingival fibroblast. Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured from the healthy gingiva on the extracted premolar of orthodontic patients. Human gingival fibroblast were trypsinized and cultured in growth medium added range of 0.0012-0.12% chlorhexidine and 1-100% Listerine mouth wash solution. The cell used in this study were between fifth to eighth passage number. The cell morphology were examined by inverted microscope and the cell activity were measured by MIT assay. The Morphology of gingival fibroblast added Chlorhexidine and Listerine at the concentration of all range were became globular and lost their cytoplasmic process. Our results indicate that a 0.0012 concentration of chlorhexidine and 1% concentration of Listerine were shows minimal cytotoxicity, but above these concentraion, there was a significant difference between the cell activity in the experimental group and control group(p

Many factors may affect periodontal changes during the physiologic conditions of woman(e.g. puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause). Recently many research has focused on the immunological changes of host, but the exact mechanism is not clear. Collagen is a major constituent of periodontium, and collagenase specifically digests the collagen and plays a role in destruction of periodontal tissue. So, I suppose that it participates with the cytokines in the inflammation of gingiva and vascular response during the changes of female sex hormones. Because there are some evidences of the existence of the receptors of estrogen and progesterone in the gingiva, it may be a target tissue of female sex hormones. In this experiment, gingival fibroblast and periodontal ligament cell were cultured in the presence of various concentrations of estrogen or progesterone corresponding to the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Collagenase activity of the supernatant of culture media was determined by Spectrophotometric collagenase assay. The enzyme activity was calculated by the % decrease of the coated collagen. 1. The estrogen at both concentrations had no effect on the activity of collagenase of the gingival fibroblast. 2. The progesterone had some effect on the collagenase activity of the gingival fibroblast at low and high concentration of menstrual cycle, and elevated the enzyme activity at all range of pregnancy concentrations. 3. In periodontal ligament cells, estrogen elevated the enzyme activity at the early pregnancy concentration and progesterone elevated at the concentration just before menstruation. In this experiment, pregesterone elevated the collagenase activity of gingival fibroblast and periodontal ligament cells. But the mechanism of the up-regulation of the enzyme activity was not confirmed. The more experiments of direct effect of progesterone on gingival at the molecular level(e.g. northern blot analysis) can reveal the exact mechanism.

섬유모세포 (fibroblast)는 결합조직을 구성하는 세포의 한 종류로서, 결합조직 전체에 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 섬유모세포는 주위환경에 따라 형태가 쉽게 변하며, 대부분 결합조직내에 고정되어 분포하고 있지만 염증이 일어났을 때나 조직배양중에는 세포들이 이동하기도 한다. 또한 조직이 손상되었을 때 상처부위로 이동하여 대량의 콜라겐 층을 형성함으로써 손상된 조직을 복구시키기도 한다. 미토콘드리아는 전자전달계(electron transport system)를 통해 세포대사에 필요한 ATP를 생산하는 것을 주 기능으로 한다. 미토콘드리아의 형태적 변이와 산화적 스트레스 그리고 전자전달효소 결핍으로 인한 세포내 활성산소의 증가 등의 기능이상으로 세포의 노화가 이루어지기도 하며, apoptosis의 주요 원인이 되기도 한다. 지금까지 간흡충 (Clonorchis sinensis)에 감염된 담관 조직으로부터 분리하여 배양된 섬유모세포에서 나타나는 세포질돌기의 증가와 같은 형태적인 변화양상과 배양중의 섬유모세포에 간흡충 분비배설물질을 첨가할 경우 섬유모세포의 형태와 세포분열양상의 변화가 이루어진다는 보고가 있었다. 하지만 간흡충의 감염이 미토콘드리아 효소의 분포에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 간흡충 피낭유충을 실험쥐에 감염시킨 후 시간 경과에 따른 담관의 형태변화를 관찰하고, 간흡충에 감염된 담관과 담관으로부터 분리하여 배양한 섬유모세포의 미토콘드리아 전자전달효소 분포를 확인하여 간흡충에 감염된 담관에 존재하는 섬유모세포가 미토콘드리아 전자전달계 이상으로 인한 변이와 관련이 있는지 확인하였다. 간흡충에 감염된 담관에 분포하는 섬유모세포에서는 주변 섬유성조직에 의한 물리적 손상으로 세포질이 파괴되고, 소포체의 확장 및 미토콘드리아 내막의 손상이 관찰되었다. 미토콘드리아 전자전달 효소는 간흡충에 감염된 담관 조직과 담관 섬유모세포를 분리하여 배양하였을 경우에 정상대조군에 비해 ATPase, COXII, porin의 분포가 감소하였다. 간흡충에 감염된 담관은 충체의 자극으로 인해 결합조직의 섬유화가 이루어지고, 이러한 담관에 존재하는 섬유모세포는 섬유조직에 의한 물리적 상해로 세포가 파괴되었다. 감염된 담관으로 부터 분리된 섬유모세포는 간흡충 감염에 의한 화학적 손상으로 미토콘드리아 전자전달효소가 감소되었다. 그 결과, 섬유모세포는 미토콘드리아의 전자전달계 기능이상으로 인한 세포사멸이 유도될 것으로 추측된다. 따라서 간흡충의 감염은 물리적 자극에 의한 담관의 섬유화, 화학적 자극에 의한 섬유모세포 대사과정의 변이를 유발하며, 미토콘드리아의 경우 ATP 생성을 위한 섬유모세포의 전자전달효소의 분포를 감소시켜 정상 조직에 존재하는 섬유모세포와 같은 기능을 수행하지 못하고 담관의 섬유화가 유지되는 것으로 생각된다.
