Abstract

Epithelial cell migration plays an important role in many physiological processes such as morphogenesis and wound healing, and cell mobility requires the release of the cell from its adhesion site. This is directed, at least in part, by limited proteolysis of matrix molecules by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are zinc-dependent proteases produced by a variety of cell types, and have a fundamental role in tissue remodelling, tumour invasion and metastasis. In addition, the ability of cells to mediate fibrinolytic agent, plasmin. The purpose of this study was to test if vascular endothlial growth factor (VEGF) can regulate the production of MMPs and plasmin by keratinocyte cells. Supernatants from a human keratinocyte cell line grown in the presence or absence of VEGF (10ng/mL) produced ?2.5 fold increases in cell proliferation, and ?3.0 fold increses in MMP-2 and plasmin levels. Our results suggest that VEGF may modulate keratinocyte cell proliferating activity by increasing the abundance of MMP-2 and plasmin, and indicates a role for VEGF in the regulation of keratinocyte behaviour in wound healing and tissue remodelling.

본 연구에서는 keratinocytes 세포를 이용하여 VEGF가 세포의 증식, MMP-2 및 plasmin 분비에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 VEGF는 keratinocytes의 세포증식을 약 2.5배 상승시켜 내피세포 뿐반 아니라 상피세포에서도 강력한 mitogen임을 확인하였으며 submaximal effect를 보이는 농도는 10 ng/mL이었다. VEGF의 농도 증가에 따른 MMP-2의 분비에 미치는 효과 역시 10 ng/mL에서 최대 효과를 나타냈으며 VEGF 처리 후 1시간만에 확인 가능한 MMP-2 밴드가 나타났다. 한편, MMP-2의 분비 증가와 함께 plasmin의 분비 증가가 수반되는지를 확인한 결과 VEGF를 첨가했을 때 약 3배 정도 plasmin의 분비량이 증가함을 알 수 었었다. 이러한 결과는 VEGF의 성장촉진 효과와 관련자어 볼 때 MMP-2와 plasmin이 keratinocytes 세포의 성장과 이동에 부분적으로 관여할 것임을 시사하고 있다.
