Effects of titrated extract of Centella asiatica (TECA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) isolated from the urine of pregnant horse on the proliferation of human epidermal keratinocyte in culture were studied. An increase in the number of keratinocyte was observed with the treatment of TECA at the concentration ranges from 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι to 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι. Effects of low molecular weight EGF (LEGF) and high molecular weight EGF (HEGF) on the proliferation of keratinocyte in culture were also studied. The number of keratinocyte in culture was significantly increased with LEGF and HEGF respectively at the concentration of 10 ng/mι. Simultaneous treatment of the keratinocyte with LEGF, HEGF and TECA led to the increased proliferation of keratinocytes resulting 96% of the effect of a positive control, EGF isolated from mouse submaxillary glands.

As a major component of the epidermal tissue, a primary keratinocyte has served as an essential tool not only for the study of pathogenesis of skin-related diseases but also for the assessment of potential toxicities of various chemicals used in cosmetics. However, its short lifespan in ex vivo setting has been a great hurdle for many practical applications. Therefore, a number of immortalization attempts have been made with success to overcome this limitation. In order to understand the immortalization process of a primary keratinocyte, several key biological phenomena governing its lifespan will be reviewed first. Then, various immortalization methods for the establishment of stable keratinocyte cell lines will be explained. Finally, its application to a three-dimensional skin culture system will be described.

Amino propane sulfonic acid가 피부에 미치는 영향을 non-invasive technique으로 사람의 피부를 이용하여 비교 분석하여 보았다. 측정변수로는 보습, 탄력, 피부색, 피부주름 등 4가지 측면에서 실험을 수행하였다. In vitro culture에서는 fibroblast의 증식은 촉진하였으나 keratinocyte의 중식에는 영향을 주지 못하였다. 또한 raft culture법을 이용해 APSA를 처리하였을 때도 keratinocyte에서 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으므로 in vitro 상에서 표피보다는 진피 부분에서 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. 임상시험 결과, 피부 보습에는 영향을 주지 않았으며 피부색, 탄력, 잔주름 등이 개선된 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 특히 New Opticoprofilometry 법인 Visiometer법을 이용하였을 때 피부 주름 변화에 대해 더 유의한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Human skin equivalents, also designated as cultured skin substitute (Boyce and Warden, 2002) or organotypic co-cultures (Maas-Szabowski et al., 1999, 2000, 2003), are three-dimensional systems that are engineered by seeding fibroblasts into a three-dimensional dermal matrix. Such a dermal equivalent is then subsequently seeded with human keratinocytes. After cell attachment, the culture is kept first under submerged condition to allow keratinocyte proliferation. Thereafter, the culture is lifted the air-liquid interface (A/L) to expose the epidermal compartment to the air, and to further induce keratinocyte differentiation. During the air-exposure, nutrients from the medium will diffuse through the underlying dermal substrate towards the epidermal compartment and support keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. Under these conditions, a HSE is formed that shows high similarity with the native tissue from which it was derived (Figure 1) (Bell et at., 1981; Boyce et al., 1988; Ponec et al., 1997;El Ghalbzouri et al.., 2002).

BACKGROUND: Because three-dimensional (3D) models more closely mimic native tissues, one of the goals of 3D in vitro tissue models is to aid in the development and toxicity screening of new drug therapies. In this study, a 3D skin wound healing model comprising of a collagen type I construct with fibrin-filled defects was developed. METHODS: Optical imaging was used to measure keratinocyte migration in the presence of fibroblasts over 7 days onto the fibrin-filled defects. Additionally, cell viability and growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes was measured using the $alamarBlue^{(R)}$ assay and changes in the mechanical stiffness of the 3D construct was monitored using compressive indentation testing. RESULTS: Keratinocyte migration rate was significantly increased in the presence of fibroblasts with the cells reaching the center of the defect as early as day 3 in the co-culture constructs compared to day 7 for the control keratinocyte monoculture constructs. Additionally, constructs with the greatest rate of keratinocyte migration had reduced cell growth. When fibroblasts were cultured alone in the wound healing construct, there was a 1.3 to 3.4-fold increase in cell growth and a 1.2 to 1.4-fold increase in cell growth for keratinocyte monocultures. However, co-culture constructs exhibited no significant growth over 7 days. Finally, mechanical testing showed that fibroblasts and keratinocytes had varying effects on matrix stiffness with fibroblasts degrading the constructs while keratinocytes increased the construct's stiffness. CONCLUSION: This 3D in vitro wound healing model is a step towards developing a mimetic construct that recapitulates the complex microenvironment of healing wounds and could aid in the early studies of novel therapeutics that promote migration and proliferation of epithelial cells.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is one of the most distressing side effects for patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study evaluated the protective effect of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) on CIA in a well-established in vitro human hair follicle organ culture model as it occurs in vivo. Methods: We examined whether KRG can prevent premature hair follicle dystrophy in a human hair follicle organ culture model during treatment with a key cyclophosphamide metabolite, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC). Results: 4-HC inhibited human hair growth, induced premature catagen development, and inhibited proliferation and stimulated apoptosis of hair matrix keratinocytes. In addition, 4-HC increased p53 and Bax protein expression and decreased Bcl2 protein expression. Pretreatment with KRG protected against 4-HC-induced hair growth inhibition and premature catagen development. KRG also suppressed 4-HC-induced inhibition of matrix keratinocyte proliferation and stimulation of matrix keratinocyte apoptosis. Moreover, KRG restored 4-HC-induced p53 and Bax/Bcl2 expression. Conclusion: Overall, our results indicate that KRG may protect against 4-HC-induced premature catagen development through modulation of p53 and Bax/Bcl2 expression.

The cellular viability of the human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT was compared after adding seaweed extracts to the culture medium. The viability was measured using a quick, quantitative, spectrophotometric crystal violet inclusion method. Of 36 common seaweed species tested, methanol extracts from Sargassum sagamianum and Gigartina tenella enhanced the viability of HaCaT cells by 1.6-fold, as compared to control cells, while methanol extracts from Dictyota dichotoma, Pachymeniopsis elliptica, and Enteromorpha linza decreased the viability to less than half that of controls.

이 연구는 HPV 16 E6/E7 도입 불멸화 구강상피세포의 배양 미세환경과 세포 분화간의 관계를 분석하였다. 배양환경을 변화시켜서 IHOK-EF 세포와 IHOK-EFKGM 세포를 얻었고, 이들 세포의 특성변화를 세포증식분석, 면역형광분석 및 마이크로어레이와 실시간 정량 PCR분석으로 알아보았다. IHOK-EF 세포는 상피세포의 특성을 상실하고 간엽세포의 특성을 획득하였고, 마이크로어레이 분석결과, 분화억제 유전자인 ID2, IL6, TWIST1이 과발현 되었다. 이러한 변화는 초기의 배양환경으로 회복되었을 때, 특별히, ID2와 IL6에서 유전자발현의 복귀를 나타내면서 세포의 특성이 부분적으로 회복되었다. 이 연구는 세포의 특성을 결정하는 연구에서 배양 미세환경의 변화에 따른 세포의 생존을 위한 적응양상을 이해하는데 공헌할 것이며, 향후, 암세포의 미세환경변화에 따른 생존연구에 적용하여 질병에 대한 치료적 접근을 가능하게 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 증폭시킨 홍삼으로부터 분리한 ginsenoside Rh2(Rh2)와 compound K(CK)의 융복합적 항염증 및 항암효과를 연구하여 홍삼 내 유용한 기능성분에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 이에 Hep3B에서의 세포독성과 IL-6 유도 STAT3 루시퍼라아제 활성, B16F10과 Hacat 세포의 생존 농도를 측정하였고 Apoptosis와 관련된 분자의 발현양상을 확인하기 위해 FAC (fluorescence activated cell sorting) 분석을 수행하였다. 실험결과 Rh2, CK mixture가 10 ug/ml일 때 Hep3B 세포에서 세포독성이 없고 IL-6 감소율이 102%로 항염증 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Rh2, CK mixture 50 uM에서 melanoma 세포인 B16F10과 human keratinocyte인 Hacat에서 독성을 보여 사멸하는 것을 관찰하였다. FACS 분석 결과 annexin V가 발현되지 않고 흑색종 세포와 keratinocyte가 탈착되면서 사멸되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 현상을 통하여 사멸되는 메카니즘이 anoikis 방식의 세포사멸로 인한 것으로 추정할 수 있으며 그것에 대한 명확한 세포사 신호 체계 규명을 위하여 향후 세포부착 단백질의 변화에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
