Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) contains cytokines and growth factors that can facilitate the regeneration and repair of various tissues and organs. In the present study, the protective activity of ADSC-CM treatment was investigated in UVB-irradiated human keratinocyte cell line HaCaTs and normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). It was found that ADSC-CM can modulate the expression of the signaling molecules in the early UVB responsive signaling pathways, including mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), activator protein 1 (AP-1), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). In addition, ADSC-CM treatment could upregulate antioxidant response element (ARE) such as phase II gene heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and increase the expression of collagen synthesis enhancer gene transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and procollagen type I synthesis inhibitors such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) was also found to be suppressed upon ADSC-CM treatment. Taken together, our study illustrates the anti-photoaging activities of ADSC-CM in cell-based models.

Tenascin C (TNC) is an element of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of various tissues, including the skin, and is involved in modulating ECM integrity and cell physiology. Although skin aging is apparently associated with changes in the ECM, little is known about the role of TNC in skin aging. In this study, we found that the Tnc mRNA level was significantly reduced in the skin tissues of aged mice compared with young mice, consistent with reduced TNC protein expression in aged human skin. TNC-large (TNC-L; 330-kDa) and -small (TNC-S; 240-kDa) polypeptides were observed in conditional media from primary dermal fibroblasts. Both recombinant TNC polypeptides, corresponding to TNC-L and TNC-S, increased the expression of type I collagen and reduced the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in fibroblasts. Treatment of fibroblasts with a recombinant TNC polypeptide, corresponding to TNC-L, induced phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3. TNC increased the level of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA and upregulated the expression of type I collagen by activating the TGF-β signaling pathway. In addition, TNC also promoted the expression of type I collagen in fibroblasts embedded in a three-dimensional collagen matrix. Our findings suggest that TNC contributes to the integrity of ECM in young skin and to prevention of skin aging.

Myrcene is an aromatic volatile compound that is commercially well-known as a flavor ingredient in the food industry and a fragrance in the soap and detergent industry. Given the worldwide interest in natural antiphotoaging products, we investigated the protective effects of myrcene in UVB-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). NHDFs were subjected to 144[Formula: see text]mJ/cm2of UVB irradiation. The expression of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), MMP-3, interleukin-6 (IL-6), transforming growth factor (TGF-[Formula: see text]1) and type I procollagen were examined. We showed that myrcene decreased the production of ROS, MMP-1, MMP-3, and IL-6, and increased TGF-[Formula: see text]1 and type I procollagen secretions. Furthermore, myrcene treatment (0.1–10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M) dramatically reduced the activation of MAPK-related signaling molecules such as p-ERK, p-p38, and p-JNK and AP-1 including p-c-Jun and p-c-Fos. Our data indicate that myrcene has a potential protective effect on UVB-induced human skin photoaging. Therefore, myrcene might have applications in the skincare industry.

Chronic exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) is a major cause of skin aging. The aim of the present study was to determine the photoprotective effect of a 30% ethanol extract of Eisenia bicyclis (Kjellman) Setchell (EEB) against UVB-induced skin aging. By treating human dermal fibroblasts (Hs68) with EEB after UVB irradiation, we found that EEB had a cytoprotective effect. EEB treatment significantly decreased UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) production by suppressing the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/activator protein 1 (AP-1) signaling and enhancing the protein expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). EEB was also found to recover the UVB-induced degradation of pro-collagen by upregulating Smad signaling. Moreover, EEB increased the mRNA expression of filaggrin, involucrin, and loricrin in UVB-irradiated human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT). EEB decreased UVB-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by upregulating glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression via nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation in Hs68 cells. In a UVB-induced HR-1 hairless mouse model, the oral administration of EEB mitigated photoaging lesions including wrinkle formation, skin thickness, and skin dryness by downregulating MMP-1 production and upregulating the expression of pro-collagen type I alpha 1 chain (pro-COL1A1). Collectively, our findings revealed that EEB prevents UVB-induced skin damage by regulating MMP-1 and pro-collagen type I production through MAPK/AP-1 and Smad pathways.

Similar to other organs, the skin undergoes a natural aging process. Moreover, constant direct exposure to environmental stresses, including ultraviolet irradiation, causes the signs of skin aging to appear rather early. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory responses accelerate skin damage in extrinsic aging. In this study, we aimed to investigate the skin protective effects of polymethoxyflavones found in Kaempferia parviflora against oxidative stress and inflammation-induced damage in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The experimental data identified 5,7,4′ trimethoxyflavone (TMF) as the most potent constituent in preventing TNF-α-induced HDF damage among the tested compounds and it was not only effective in inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) production but also in stimulating collagen, type I, and alpha 1 (COLIA1) expression. TMF suppressed TNF-α-stimulated generation of ROS and pro-inflammatory mediators, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in HDFs. TMF also inhibited the pathways regulating fibroblast damage, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), activator protein 1 (AP-1), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). In conclusion, TMF may be a potential agent for preventing skin aging and other dermatological disorders associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

Extracellular matrix serves as a scaffold for cells and can also regulate gene expression and ultimately cell behaviour. In this study, we compared the effects of three forms of type I collagen matrix, which differed only in their mechanical properties, and plastic on the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (collagenase), and type I collagen and on the growth and survival of human dermal fibroblasts. These effects were correlated with alterations in cell morphology and organization of intracellular actin. Cells in detached or stress-relaxed matrices were spherical, lacked stress fibres, and showed increased TGF-β1 mRNA compared to the cells in anchored collagen matrices or on plastic, which were polygonal or bipolar and formed stress fibres. The levels of TGF-β measured by bioassay were higher in detached and stress-relaxed collagen matrices, than in anchored collagen matrices. Cells on plastic contained little or no immunoreactive TGF-β, while most cells in collagen matrices were stained. The levels of collagenase mRNA were significantly higher in all the collagen matrix cultures compared to those on plastic, but there were no statistically significant differences between them. Levels of mRNA for procollagen type I were not significantly affected by culture in the collagen matrices. Apoptotic fibroblasts were detected by the TUNEL assay in detached (5.7%) and to a lesser extent in stress-relaxed (2.2%) matrices, but none were observed in anchored collagen matrices or on plastic. These results show that alterations in the mechanical properties of matrix can induce the expression of TGF-β and trigger apoptosis in dermal fibroblasts. They further suggest that inability to reorganize this matrix could be responsible for the maintenance of the fibroproliferative phenotype associated with fibroblasts in hypertrophic scarring. Key words: transforming growth factor-β, apoptosis, fibroblasts.

ObjectivesInterleukin (IL) 22 mRNA in systemic sclerosis (SSc) skin and Th22 cells in SSc peripheral blood are increased, but the role of IL-22 in fibrosis development remains poorly understood.MethodsBiopsies were obtained from the involved skin of 15 SSc, 4 morphea and 8 healthy donors (HD). The presence of IL-22+ cells in the skin was determined by immunostaining. The in vitro response of HD and SSc fibroblasts to IL-22, IL-22 in conjunction with tumour necrosis factor (TNF) or keratinocyte conditioned medium was assessed by ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA), real-time PCR and western blot. The in vivo response in mice was assessed by histomorphometry.ResultsIL-22+ cells were over-represented in the dermis and epidermis of morphea and in the epidermis of SSc compared with HD. The majority of dermal IL-22+ cells were T cells. Dermal fibroblasts expressed both IL-22 receptor subunits IL-10RB and IL-22RA, expression of which was enhanced by TNF and reduced by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. IL-22 induced rapid phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2 in fibroblasts, but failed to induce the synthesis of chemokines and extracellular matrix components. However, IL-22 enhanced the production of monocyte chemotactic protein 1, IL-8 and matrix metalloproteinase 1 induced by TNF. Fibroblast responses were maximal in the presence of conditioned medium from keratinocytes activated by IL-22 in conjunction with TNF. Dermal thickness was maximal in mice injected simultaneously with IL-22 and TNF.ConclusionsIL-22 capacitates fibroblast responses to TNF and promotes a proinflammatory fibroblast phenotype by favouring TNF-induced keratinocyte activation. These results define a novel role for keratinocyte–fibroblast interactions in the context of skin fibrosis.

Nucleus Transfer

Reprogramming of terminally differentiated cells to higher plasticity levels can be achieved with small molecules. This can be of value for somatic cell nucleus transfer, deriving multi and pluripotent cells and conservation purposes. Recently, induced mesenchymal stem cells were derived from differentiated human and mouse cells by using small molecules and growth factors. The pampas cat or colocolo (Leopardus colocolo) is a South American felid categorrized as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Major historical threats to the pampas cat include illegal hunting, habitat loss or transformation, and conflict retaliation for poultry predation. Here, we tested 5-azacytidine (an epigenetic modifier) and A8301 (a potent inhibitor of transforming growth factor-β type I receptor superfamily), linked to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-B) to induce changes in the expression of pluripotency genes and differentiation capacity of colocolo fibroblasts towards other mesodermal lineages. For this, dermal fibroblasts were treated with (I) 5-azacytidine + PRP + A8301 + VitC, or (II) 5- azacytidine + VitC + A8301 + PDFG for 12 days. On Days 0, 5, and 12 of reprogramming, expression of OCT4, NANOG, E-cadherin and SNAIL was evaluated by reverse transcription-PCR, and tri-lineage differentiation was induced. For treatment I, no statistical difference was found in the expression of OCT4 and NANOG. Chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation was observed. In treatment II, significant expression of OCT4 and NANOG (P<0.05) was induced, and reprogrammed fibroblasts were differentiated into chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. Immunohistochemistry positivity for OCT4 was detected in treatment II. In summary, we showed that dermal fibroblasts of pampas cat can be reprogrammed into cells with multipotent characteristics, particularly when a cocktail of 5-azacytidine + VitC + A8301 + PDFG was used. Treatment I probably failed because of other growth factors and proteins present in PRP, which might inhibit successful reprogramming or activate other pathways leading to a nonmultipotent phenotype. Further refinements of these protocols are required to improve the reprogramming protocol. This in turn should help us obtain cells that can be used in nucleus transfer or cellular therapies in endangered felid species.
