Losick VP, Fox DT, Spradling AC. Polyploidization and cell fusion contribute to wound healing in the adult Drosophila epithelium. Curr Biol 2013; 23:2224-2232.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reestablishing epithelial integrity and biosynthetic capacity is critically important following tissue damage. The adult Drosophila abdominal epithelium provides an attractive new system to address how postmitotic diploid cells contribute to repair. RESULTS Puncture wounds to the adult Drosophila epidermis close initially by forming a melanized scab. We found that epithelial cells near the wound site fuse to form a giant syncytium, which sends lamellae under the scab to re-epithelialize the damaged site. Other large cells arise more peripherally by initiating endocycles and becoming polyploid, or by cell fusion. Rac GTPase activity is needed for syncytium formation, while the Hippo signaling effector Yorkie modulates both polyploidization and cell fusion. Large cell formation is functionally important because when both polyploidization and fusion are blocked, wounds do not re-epithelialize. CONCLUSIONS Our observations indicate that cell mass lost upon wounding can be replaced by polyploidization instead of mitotic proliferation. We propose that large cells generated by polyploidization or cell fusion are essential because they are better able than diploid cells to mechanically stabilize wounds, especially those containing permanent acellular structures, such as scar tissue.

Abstract
Cytokines and growth factors play an integral role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis, the generation of protective immunity, and lung reparative processes. However, the dysregulated expression of cytokines and growth factors in response to infectious or noxious insults can initiate and perpetuate deleterious lung inflammation and fibroproliferation. In this article, we will comprehensively review the contribution of individual cytokines and growth factors and cytokine networks to key pathophysiological events in human and experimental acute lung injury (ALI), including inflammatory cell recruitment and activation, alveolar epithelial injury and repair, angiogenesis, and matrix deposition and remodeling. The application of cytokines/growth factors as prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets in human ALI is explored.

Adenovirus-mediated expression of keratinocyte growth factor promotes secondary flap necrotic wound healing in an extended animal model. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2013; 37:1023-33. [PMID: 23949128 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-013-0200-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2013] [Accepted: 07/16/2013] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective treatments have been found for flap necrosis. Animal models that focus on the initial flap viability are inappropriate for necrotic wound studies. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) promotes keratinocyte proliferation with stronger activity and fewer complications and thus may be useful for necrotic flap wound healing. METHODS Rats with modified flap necrosis were randomly divided into four groups. An adenoviral vector expressing KGF was injected subdermally in the back of the animals after necrosis began. The expression and effect of KGF was assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunoassay, and transwell, and wound healing was monitored. RESULTS The plasmid and adenovirus were able to express KGF and stimulate epithelial cell growth (p = 0.029). Histology showed that the necrosis healed fastest in the KGF administration group than in the control groups (p < 0.01). The adenovirus-mediated KGF (Ad-KGF) group had the thickest epithelium on days 15 (p = 0.044) and 25 (p = 0.014). The KGF level in the blood serum soared 10 and 15 days postoperatively (p < 0.01) but returned to baseline by day 25 (p = 0.561). The KGF mRNA levels in vivo increased dramatically in the Ad-KGF group (p = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS The extended flap model is applicable in necrotic wound study. Keratinocyte growth factor can promote secondary necrotic flap wound healing, and administration of KGF can be achieved by an adenoviral vector.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathway promotes tumor growth and angiogenesis in many solid tumors. Although there has long been interest in FGF pathway inhibitors, development has been complicated: An effective FGF inhibitor must block the activity of multiple mitogenic FGF ligands but must spare the metabolic hormone FGFs (FGF-19, FGF-21, and FGF-23) to avoid unacceptable toxicity. To achieve these design requirements, we engineered a soluble FGF receptor 1 Fc fusion protein, FP-1039. FP-1039 binds tightly to all of the mitogenic FGF ligands, inhibits FGF-stimulated cell proliferation in vitro, blocks FGF- and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in vivo, and inhibits in vivo growth of a broad range of tumor types. FP-1039 antitumor response is positively correlated with RNA levels of FGF2, FGF18, FGFR1c, FGFR3c, and ETV4; models with genetic aberrations in the FGF pathway, including FGFR1-amplified lung cancer and FGFR2-mutated endometrial cancer, are particularly sensitive to FP-1039-mediated tumor inhibition. FP-1039 does not appreciably bind the hormonal FGFs, because these ligands require a cell surface co-receptor, klotho or β-klotho, for high-affinity binding and signaling. Serum calcium and phosphate levels, which are regulated by FGF-23, are not altered by administration of FP-1039. By selectively blocking nonhormonal FGFs, FP-1039 treatment confers antitumor efficacy without the toxicities associated with other FGF pathway inhibitors.

Abstract
Cutaneous regeneration utilizes paracrine feedback mechanisms to fine-tune the regulation of epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and migration. However, it is unknown how fibroblast-derived hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) affects these mutually exclusive processes in distinct cell populations. We here show that HGF stimulates the expression and phosphorylation of the microtubule-destabilizing factor stathmin in primary human keratinocytes. Quantitative single cell- and cell population-based analyses revealed that basal stathmin levels are important for the migratory ability of keratinocytes in vitro; however, its expression is moderately induced in the migration tongue of mouse skin or organotypic multi-layered keratinocyte 3D cultures after full-thickness wounding. In contrast, clearly elevated stathmin expression is detectable in hyperproliferative epidermal areas. In vitro, stathmin silencing significantly reduced keratinocyte proliferation. Automated quantitative and time-resolved analyses in organotypic cocultures demonstrated a high correlation between Stathmin/phospho-Stathmin and Ki67 positivity in epidermal regions with proliferative activity. Thus, activation of stathmin may stimulate keratinocyte proliferation, while basal stathmin levels are sufficient for keratinocyte migration during cutaneous regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Determining whether systemic corticosteroids impair wound healing is a clinically relevant topic that has important management implications. METHODS We reviewed literature on the effects of corticosteroids on wound healing from animal and human studies searching MEDLINE from 1949 to 2011. RESULTS Some animal studies show a 30% reduction in wound tensile strength with perioperative corticosteroids at 15 to 40 mg/kg/day. The preponderance of human literature found that high-dose corticosteroid administration for <10 days has no clinically important effect on wound healing. In patients taking chronic corticosteroids for at least 30 days before surgery, their rates of wound complications may be increased 2 to 5 times compared with those not taking corticosteroids. Complication rates may vary depending on dose and duration of steroid use, comorbidities, and types of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Acute, high-dose systemic corticosteroid use likely has no clinically significant effect on wound healing, whereas chronic systemic steroids may impair wound healing in susceptible individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-19, a member of the IL-10 cytokine family, is involved in keratinocyte proliferation in psoriasis. OBJECTIVES We investigated the role of IL-19 in the wound-healing process in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Two full-thickness circular wounds (4mm in diameter) were punched into the skin of BALB/C mice. IL-19 and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) mRNA in wounded skin were determined using real-time PCR. The wounds were treated with PBS, vehicle, IL-19 (400ng/mL), or IL-20 (400ng/mL) (n=6 in each group) twice daily and the percentage of wound healing was measured daily for 7days. In vitro, human skin fibroblast CCD966-SK cells and keratinocyte HaCaT cells were treated with IL-19 or KGF. Cell proliferation and migration were determined using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and transwell assays, respectively. The expression of IL-19 and KGF mRNA was also analyzed. RESULTS In wounded mouse skin, IL-19 mRNA was upregulated at 12h, and KGF at 24h after the injury. Both increases in gene expression declined 72h after the skin had been wounded. The percentage of wound healing in IL-19-treated mice was higher than in control mice. In vitro, IL-19 upregulated KGF expression in the CCD966-SK cells; IL-19 was upregulated in KGF-treated HaCaT cells. KGF but not IL-19 promoted HaCaT cell proliferation. However, IL-19 significantly increased the migration of HaCaT cells. HaCaT cells treated with the cultured supernatants of IL-19-stimulated CCD966-SK cells showed significantly more proliferation than in controls. CONCLUSIONS IL-19 is important for cutaneous wound healing because it upregulates KGF expression.

Abstract
Alternative splicing generates a vast diversity of protein isoforms from a limited number of protein-coding genes, with many of the isoforms possessing unique, and even contrasting, functions. Fluorescence-based splicing reporters have the potential to facilitate studies of alternative splicing at the single-cell level and can provide valuable information on phenotypic transitions in almost real time. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced to form the epithelial-specific and mesenchymal-specific IIIb and IIIc isoforms, respectively, which are useful markers of epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT). We have used our knowledge of FGFR2 splicing regulation to develop a fluorescence-based reporter system to visualize exon IIIc regulation in vitro and in vivo. Here we show the application of this reporter system to the study of EMT in vitro in cell culture and in vivo in transgenic mice harboring these splicing constructs. In explant studies, the reporters revealed that FGFR2 isoform switching is not required for keratinocyte migration during cutaneous wound closure. Our results demonstrate the value of the splicing reporters as tools to study phenotypic transitions and cell fates at single cell resolution. Moreover, our data suggest that keratinocytes migrate efficiently in the absence of a complete EMT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of 17β-estradiol on corneal wound healing, particularly on epithelial mitosis and migration. METHODS Immortalized human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) were cultured in media with different concentrations of 17β-estradiol (10, 50, 100, and 200 pg/mL), Dulbecco modified Eagle medium: Nutrient Mixture F-12 (negative control), and serum-containing Dulbecco modified Eagle medium: Nutrient Mixture F-12 (positive control). After 6 or 24 hours of hormone treatment, to evaluate the migratory potential of 17β-estradiol, wound healing assays were conducted via the manual scraping of HCECs and western blot analysis of fibronectin and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9). The proliferative potential of 17β-estradiol was evaluated via a proliferation assay using western blot analysis for proliferating cell nuclear antigen. In addition, epidermal growth factor (EGF) was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and for the inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated signal transduction, a wound healing assay was conducted after HCECs cultured with EGFR small interfering RNA were stimulated with 100 pg/mL 17β-estradiol. RESULTS Wound healing assay rates were enhanced as 17β-estradiol increased, with statistically significant changes seen in 50, 100, and 200 pg/mL 17β-estradiol-treated and positive control cells, compared with negative control cells (P < 0.05, in each group). Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of the MMP9 gene was upregulated by 17β-estradiol, and the expression of the fibronectin gene was downregulated by 17β-estradiol. The mitosis assay via western blot analysis showed that the expression cell cycle-associated protein, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, increased gradually as a result of 17β-estradiol treatment. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that EGF was upregulated by 17β-estradiol, and the EGFR small interfering RNA did not totally block the wound healing of the 17β-estradiol-treated cells but statistically significantly reduced the wound healing rate (P = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS 17β-Estradiol facilitated the maintenance of the beneficial effect on corneal epithelial migration and proliferation, and the promoting effect of 17β-estradiol is partially related to increased EGF in vitro.

Abstract
The outcome of wound repair in mammals is often characterized by fibrotic scaring. Vertebrates such as zebrafish, frogs, and salamanders not only heal scarlessly, but also can regenerate lost appendages. Decades of study on the process of animal regeneration has produced key insights into the mechanisms of how complex tissue is restored. By examining our current knowledge of regeneration, we can draw parallels with mammalian wound healing to identify the molecular determinants that produce such differing outcomes.

Abstract
Efficient wound repair is essential for the maintenance of the integrity of the skin. The repair process is controlled by a variety of growth factors and cytokines, and their abnormal expression or activity can cause healing disorders. Here, we show that wound repair is severely delayed in mice lacking fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) 1 and 2 in keratinocytes. As the underlying mechanism, we identified impaired wound contraction and a delay in re-epithelialization that resulted from impaired keratinocyte migration at the wound edge. Scratch wounding and transwell assays demonstrated that FGFR1/2-deficient keratinocytes had a reduced migration velocity and impaired directional persistence owing to inefficient formation and turnover of focal adhesions. Underlying this defect, we identified a significant reduction in the expression of major focal adhesion components in the absence of FGFR signaling, resulting in a general migratory deficiency. These results identify FGFs as key regulators of keratinocyte migration in wounded skin.

Abstract
Hair follicles (HFs) is an appendage from the vertebrate skin epithelium, and is critical for environmental sensing, animal appearance, and body heat maintenance. HFs arise from the embryonic ectoderm and regenerate cyclically during adult life. Distinct morphological and functional stages from development through homeostasis have been extensively studied for the past decades to dissect the critical molecular mechanisms. Accumulating work suggests that different signaling cascades, such as Wnt, Bmp, Shh, and Notch, together with specific combinations of transcription factors are at work at different stages. Here we provide a comprehensive review of mouse genetics studies, which include lineage tracing along with knockout and over-expression of core genes from key signaling pathways, to paint an updated view of the molecular regulatory network that govern each stage of hair follicle development and adult cycling.

Abstract
Fibroblast Growth Factors play critical roles during development, tissue homeostasis and repair by controlling cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation. Of the 22 mammalian FGFs, FGF22, a member of the FGF7/10/22 subfamily, has been shown to have a clear role in synaptogenesis, but its roles in other tissues have not been studied. We have investigated the in vivo functions of FGF22 in mice. Fgf22 null animals were viable, fertile and did not display any obvious abnormalities. Despite the known expression profile of FGF22 in the skin, no differences in either skin or pelage were observed, demonstrating that FGF22 is dispensable during embryogenesis and in unchallenged adult skin. Mice lacking FGF22 were able to heal acute wounds just as efficiently as wild type mice. However, classical two-step skin carcinogenesis challenge revealed that FGF22 null mice developed fewer papillomas than wild type controls, suggesting a potential pro-oncogenic role for FGF22 in the skin.

Abstract
Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata syndrome (BSS) is a human genetic disorder characterized by skin and skull abnormalities. BSS is caused by mutations in the FGF receptor 2 (FGFR2), but the molecular mechanisms that induce skin and skull abnormalities are unclear. We developed a mouse model of BSS harboring a FGFR2 Y394C mutation and identified p38 MAPK as an important signaling pathway mediating these abnormalities. Fgfr2+/Y394C mice exhibited epidermal hyperplasia and premature closure of cranial sutures (craniosynostosis) due to abnormal cell proliferation and differentiation. We found ligand-independent phosphorylation of FGFR2 and activation of p38 signaling in mutant skin and calvarial tissues. Treating Fgfr2+/Y394C mice with a p38 kinase inhibitor attenuated skin abnormalities by reversing cell proliferation and differentiation to near normal levels. This study reveals the pleiotropic effects of the FGFR2 Y394C mutation evidenced by cutis gyrata, acanthosis nigricans, and craniosynostosis and provides a useful model for investigating the molecular mechanisms of skin and skull development. The demonstration of a pathogenic role for p38 activation may lead to the development of therapeutic strategies for BSS and related conditions, such as acanthosis nigricans or craniosynostosis.

Abstract
Thousands of patients suffer from burn injuries each year, yet few therapies have been developed to accelerate the wound healing process. Most fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been extensively evaluated but only a few have been found to participate in the wound healing process. In particular, FGF-10 is robustly increased in the wound microenvironment after injury and has demonstrated some ability to promote wound healing in vitro and in vivo. Glycosaminoglycans are linear carbohydrates that participate in wound repair by influencing cytokine/growth factor localization and interaction with cognate receptors. Dermatan sulfate (DS) is the most abundant glycosaminoglycan in human wound fluid and has been postulated to be directly involved in the healing process. Recently, the combination of FGF-10 and DS demonstrated the potential to accelerate wound healing via increased keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Based on these preliminary studies, DS may serve as a cofactor for FGF-10, and together they are likely to expedite the healing process by stimulating keratinocyte activity. As a specific subtype of wounds, the overall healing process of burn injuries does not significantly differ from other types of wounds, where optimal repair results in matrix regeneration and complete reepithelialization. At present, standard burn treatment primarily involves topical application of antimicrobial agents, while no routine therapies target acceleration of reepithelialization, the key to wound closure. Thus, this novel therapeutic combination could be used in conjunction with some of the current therapies, but it would have the unique ability to initiate wound healing by stimulating keratinocyte epithelialization.

Abstract
The development of ectoderm-derived appendages results in a large variety of highly specialized organs such as hair follicles, mammary glands, salivary glands, and teeth. Despite varying in number, shape, and function, all these ectodermal organs develop through continuous and reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, sharing common morphological and molecular features especially during their embryonic development. Diseases such as ectodermal dysplasias can affect simultaneously these organs, suggesting that they may arise from common multipotent precursors residing in the embryonic ectoderm. During embryogenesis, these putative ectodermal stem cells may adopt different fates and consequently be able to generate a variety of tissue-specific stem cells, which are the sources for the various cell lineages that form the diverse organs. The specification of those common epithelial precursors, as well as their further lineage commitment to tissue-specific stem cells, might be controlled by specific signals. It has been well documented that Notch, Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein, and fibroblast growth factor signaling pathways regulate cell fate decisions during the various stages of ectodermal organ development. However, the in vivo spatial and temporal dynamics of these signaling pathways are not yet well understood. Improving the current knowledge on the mechanisms involved in stem cell fate determination during organogenesis and homeostasis of ectodermal organs is crucial to develop effective stem cell-based therapies in order to regenerate or replace pathological and damaged tissues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and its receptor KGFR play a pivotal role in regulating cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival, in response to injury and tissue repair. Altered expression of this pathway in cancer opened the way to the development of targeted therapy to achieve KGFR inhibition. Nevertheless, KGF administration has been demonstrated to ameliorate oral mucositis resulting from chemoradiotherapy, besides protecting epithelial cells against radiation-induced damage. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the potential therapeutic interest of KGF/KGFR in two different areas: selective inhibition of KGFR signaling for the treatment of cancers characterized by upregulation of this pathway and administration of KGF to protect epithelial cells from induced damage. The review presents an overview of therapeutic strategies in both directions. EXPERT OPINION KGF/KGFR signaling can contribute to enhancing the malignant potential of epithelial cells and to promoting tumorigenesis. On the other hand, the therapeutic use of KGF in cancer patients provides epithelial protection, reducing chemotherapy side effects. FGFRs have become attractive antitumor targets and various inhibitors have been used to contrast tumor cell growth. The identification of KGFR-specific molecules might represent a promising therapeutic strategy that could increase the window of available agents and treatment methods.

Abstract
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF, fibroblast growth factor-7) is a fibroblast-derived mitogen, which stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells. The expression of KGF by dermal fibroblasts is induced following injury and it promotes wound repair. However, the role of KGF in cutaneous carcinogenesis and cancer progression is not known. We have examined the role of KGF in progression of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. The expression of KGF receptor (KGFR) mRNA was lower in cutaneous SCCs (n = 6) than in normal skin samples (n = 6). Expression of KGFR mRNA was detected in 6 out of 8 cutaneous SCC cell lines and the levels were downregulated by 24-h treatment with KGF. KGF did not stimulate SCC cell proliferation, but it reduced invasion of SCC cells through collagen. Gene expression profiling of three cutaneous SCC cell lines treated with KGF for 24 h revealed a specific gene expression signature characterized by upregulation of a set of genes specifically downregulated in SCC cells compared to normal epidermal keratinocytes, including genes with tumor suppressing properties (SPRY4, DUSP4, DUSP6, LRIG1, PHLDA1). KGF also induced downregulation of a set of genes specifically upregulated in SCC cells compared to normal keratinocytes, including genes associated with tumor progression (MMP13, MATN2, CXCL10, and IGFBP3). Downregulation of MMP-13 and KGFR expression in SCC cells and HaCaT cells was mediated via ERK1/2. Activation of ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells and tumorigenic Ha-ras-transformed HaCaT cells resulted in downregulation of MMP-13 and KGFR expression. These results provide evidence, that KGF does not promote progression of cutaneous SCC, but rather suppresses the malignant phenotype of cutaneous SCC cells by regulating the expression of several genes differentially expressed in SCC cells, as compared to normal keratinocytes.

Abstract
Therapeutic inhibition of pathways involved in angiogenesis has become the standard of care in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Most currently available antiangiogenic agents inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. Although these drugs have produced exciting benefits, some tumors do not respond to these agents. In addition most if not all tumors that initially respond will eventually develop resistance. Tumor escape from antiangiogenic therapy may include various signaling pathways that are involved in angiogenesis, including the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathway. Emerging preclinical data suggest that FGF and VEGF act distinctly and synergistically to promote tumor vascularization. The current review discusses the role of FGF signaling in resistance to anti-VEGF therapies and outlines potential therapeutic implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hair greying is an obvious sign of ageing in humans. White (nonpigmented) hair is thicker than black (pigmented) hair. The growth rate of white hair is also significantly higher than that of black hair. However, the mechanism underlying this is largely unknown. OBJECTIVES To examine the association between hair greying and hair growth patterns by evaluating expression of the genes or proteins related to hair growth in white and black hairs. METHODS Morphological characteristics were observed in eyebrow and scalp hairs. The differential expression of genes was analysed in black and white hairs from human scalp by a microarray analysis. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry for genes and proteins related to hair growth were performed in black and white hairs. RESULTS Keratin and keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes in white hair were upregulated at least two-fold in comparison with black hair in a microarray analysis. Upregulation of selected keratin genes and KRTAP4 isoform genes in white hair was validated by RT-PCR. Immunoreactivity for KRT6, KRT14/16 and KRT25 was increased in the hair follicle of white hair compared with black hair. Gene expression of fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) was downregulated in white hair compared with black hair. However, gene expression of FGF7 was upregulated in white hair compared with black hair. CONCLUSIONS Expression of genes and proteins associated with active hair growth is upregulated in white (nonpigmented) hair compared with black (pigmented) hair. These results suggest that hair greying is associated with active hair growth.

Abstract
In wound healing, a variety of mediators have been identified throughout the years. The mediators discussed here comprise growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. These mediators act via multiple (specific) receptors to facilitate wound closure. As research in the last years has led to many new findings, there is a need to give an overview on what is known, and on what might possibly play a role as a molecular target for future wound therapy. This review aims to keep the reader up to date with selected important and novel findings regarding growth factors, cytokines and chemokines in wound healing.

Abstract
RATIONALE Traditional genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of large cohorts of subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have successfully identified novel candidate genes, but several other plausible loci do not meet strict criteria for genome-wide significance after correction for multiple testing. OBJECTIVES The authors hypothesise that by applying unbiased weights derived from unique populations we can identify additional COPD susceptibility loci. Methods The authors performed a homozygosity haplotype analysis on a group of subjects with and without COPD to identify regions of conserved homozygosity haplotype (RCHHs). Weights were constructed based on the frequency of these RCHHs in case versus controls, and used to adjust the p values from a large collaborative GWAS of COPD. RESULTS The authors identified 2318 RCHHs, of which 576 were significantly (p<0.05) over-represented in cases. After applying the weights constructed from these regions to a collaborative GWAS of COPD, the authors identified two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a novel gene (fibroblast growth factor-7 (FGF7)) that gained genome-wide significance by the false discovery rate method. In a follow-up analysis, both SNPs (rs12591300 and rs4480740) were significantly associated with COPD in an independent population (combined p values of 7.9E-7 and 2.8E-6, respectively). In another independent population, increased lung tissue FGF7 expression was associated with worse measures of lung function. CONCLUSION Weights constructed from a homozygosity haplotype analysis of an isolated population successfully identify novel genetic associations from a GWAS on a separate population. This method can be used to identify promising candidate genes that fail to meet strict correction for multiple testing.

Abstract
Fibrosis is associated with a variety of skin diseases and causes severe aesthetic and functional impairments. Functional studies in rodents, together with clinical observations, strongly suggest a crucial role of chronic injury and inflammation in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases. The phenotype of mice lacking fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors 1 and 2 in keratinocytes supports this concept. In these mice, a defect in keratinocytes alone initiated an inflammatory response, which in turn caused keratinocyte hyperproliferation and dermal fibrosis. As the mechanism underlying this phenotype, we identified a loss of FGF-induced expression of claudins and occludin, which caused abnormalities in tight junctions with concomitant deficits in epidermal barrier function. This resulted in severe transepidermal water loss and skin dryness. In turn, activation of keratinocytes and epidermal γδ T cells occurred, which produced IL-1 family member 8 and S100A8 and S100A9. These cytokines attracted immune cells and activated fibroblasts, resulting in a double paracrine loop through production of keratinocyte mitogens by dermal cells. In addition, a profibrotic response was induced in fibroblasts. Our results highlight the importance of an intact epidermal barrier for the prevention of inflammation and fibrosis and the role of chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases.

Abstract
It is likely that adult epithelial stem cells will be useful in the treatment of diseases, such as ectodermal dysplasias, monilethrix, Netherton syndrome, Menkes disease, hereditary epidermolysis bullosa, and alopecias. Additionally, other skin problems such as burn wounds, chronic wounds, and ulcers will benefit from stem cell-related therapies. However, there are many questions that need to be answered before this goal can be realized. The most important of these questions is what regulates the adhesion of stem cells to the niche versus migration to the site of injury. We have started to identify the mechanisms involved in this decision-making process.

Abstract
Aberrant wound healing can lead to a variety of human pathologies, from non-healing chronic wounds that can become dangerously infected, to exuberant fibrotic healing in which repair is accompanied by excessive inflammation. To guide therapeutic intervention, we need a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms driving tissue repair; this will require complementary wound-healing studies in several model organisms. Drosophila has been used to model genetic aspects of numerous human pathologies, and is being used increasingly to gain insight into the molecular and genetic aspects of tissue repair and inflammation, which have classically been modelled in mice or cultured cells. This review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Drosophila as a wound-healing model, as well as some exciting new research opportunities that will be enabled by its use.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to evaluate the expression of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) in goat ovaries and to study its effects on preantral follicle survival and development. The ovaries were used for immunohistochemistry or for in vitro culture for 1 or 7 days with KGF (0, 1, 10, 50, 100, 150, or 200 ng/mL). Noncultured (fresh control) and cultured ovarian slices were processed for histological analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that after 7 days of in vitro culture, all treatments had a significant reduction in the percentage of normal follicles compared with the fresh control. After 7 days of culture, the highest KGF concentrations (150 and 200 ng/mL) induced a significant reduction in the percentage of normal follicles compared with the tissues cultured in the absence (α-MEM(+) alone) or presence of 1, 10, and 50 ng/mL KGF. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed follicular integrity after 7 days of culture in 1 ng/mL KGF. In addition, compared with the fresh control, the percentage of growing follicles was significantly increased in all treatments after 1 or 7 days of culture. Immunohistochemical analyses showed the expression of KGF in oocytes and granulosa cells in all follicle developmental stages as well as in thecal and stromal cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that, at the lowest concentration (1 ng/mL), KGF maintained the ultrastructure of goat preantral follicles cultured in vitro for up to 7 days. Furthermore, the KGF protein was widely distributed in goat ovaries, especially in ovarian follicles.

Abstract
The importance of wound healing to medicine and biology has long been evident, and consequently, wound healing has been the subject of intense investigation for many years. However, several relatively recent developments have added new impetus to wound repair research: the increasing application of model systems; the growing recognition that single cells have a robust, complex, and medically relevant wound healing response; and the emerging recognition that different modes of wound repair bear an uncanny resemblance to other basic biological processes such as morphogenesis and cytokinesis. In this review, each of these developments is described, and their significance for wound healing research is considered. In addition, overlapping mechanisms of single-cell and multicellular wound healing are highlighted, and it is argued that they are more similar than is often recognized. Based on this and other information, a simple model to explain the evolutionary relationships of cytokinesis, single-cell wound repair, multicellular wound repair, and developmental morphogenesis is proposed. Finally, a series of important, but as yet unanswered, questions is posed.

Abstract
Many studies demonstrate that the type of adjacent mesenchymal cells can affect epidermal morphogenesis of bilayered tissue-engineered skin. However, whether a mixture of different mesenchymal cell types can improve epidermal morphogenesis of bioengineered skin remains unknown. In this study, keratinocytes, dermal fibroblasts and adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were isolated and purified from human skin and subcutaneous fat. Conditioned medium generated from a mixture of dermal fibroblasts and ADSCs at the ratio of 1:1 was superior to that from fibroblasts or ADSCs alone in promoting keratinocyte proliferation, as indicated by MTT assay. Furthermore, ELISA results showed that the cytokine levels of human hepatocyte growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor (also known as FGF7) in the mixed fibroblasts/ADSC group were higher than those in the ADSC or dermal fibroblasts group. To examine the potential roles of mixed fibroblasts and ADSCs on epidermal morphogenesis, a three-dimensional tissue engineered skin system was applied. Histological analyses demonstrated that keratinocytes proliferated extensively over the mixture of fibroblasts and ADSCs, and formed a thick epidermal layer with well-differentiated structures. Keratin 10 (epidermal differentiation marker) was expressed in the suprabasal layer of bilayered tissue-engineered skin in the mixed fibroblasts and ADSCs group. Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes were detected in the newly formed epidermis by transmission electron microscopy analysis. Together, these findings revealed for the first time that a mixture of fibroblasts and ADSCs in bilayered tissue-engineered skin can improve epidermal morphogenesis.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) on wound healing. Full-thickness excisional dorsal wounds were created on KGF knockout mice (KGF KO, n = 12) and wild-type C57BL/6 mice (WT, n = 12), and wound closure rates were measured. Immunohistochemical staining was used to investigate cell proliferation and blood vessel density by assessing Ki67 and CD31 protein levels, respectively, and real-time reverse transcription—polymerase chain reaction was used to measure vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA levels. No differences in the rate of wound closure were found between KGF KO and WT mice, however the KGF KO mice showed decreased proliferation of keratinocytes, angiogenesis and VEGF mRNA levels in vivo. These results suggest that KGF may play an important role in the regulation of VEGF gene expression and angiogenesis during wound healing.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the discrete biology differentiating fetal wound repair from its adult counterpart. Integumentary wound healing in mammalian fetuses is essentially different from wound healing in adult skin. Adult (postnatal) skin wound healing is a complex and well-orchestrated process spurred by attendant inflammation that leads to wound closure with scar formation. In contrast, fetal wound repair occurs with minimal inflammation, faster re-epithelialization, and without the accumulation of scar. Although research into scarless healing began decades ago, the critical molecular mechanisms driving the process of regenerative fetal healing remain uncertain. Understanding the molecular and cellular events during regenerative healing may provide clues that one day enable us to modulate adult wound healing and consequently reduce scarring.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria, either alive or dead, can improve villous atrophy caused by weaning in both piglets and mice. In this experiment, we tried to detect the molecules involved in this phenomenon with a real-time RT-PCR array approach. Weaning pups of mice were administered either a suspension of an Enterococcus faecalis EC-12 dried cell preparation (EC-12) or saline for 11 consecutive days after weaning. The jejunal and ileal villous heights were measured histologically, and the expression levels of 86 genes were analyzed for the jejunal and ileal epithelial cells and the lamina propria (LP). EC-12 induced significantly higher villous height in the jejunum and the ileum. Interleukin (IL)-6, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-7, -10, and -22, and the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta in the jejunal and the ileal LP were the most enhanced genes by EC-12. The possible role of these molecules in the improvement of villous atrophy is discussed.

Abstract
ADAM-9 belongs to a family of transmembrane, disintegrin-containing metalloproteinases (ADAMs) involved in protein ectodomain shedding and cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Although the functions of many ADAM family members are known, the specific biological function of ADAM-9 is still unclear. In this study, we have analyzed ADAM-9 temporal and spatial distribution during wound healing. We showed increased ADAM-9 transcript expression during the first 7 days post-wounding and, by immunolocalization, detected ADAM-9 in all migrating and proliferating keratinocytes from days 3 to 7. In older 14-day-old wounds, ADAM-9 expression was restored. We have investigated the role of this protein in the healing process following excisional wounding. Animals deficient in ADAM-9 showed accelerated wound repair compared with control littermates. No alterations in neutrophil, leukocyte, and macrophage infiltration were observed. However, re-epithelialization was significantly faster in Adam-9 -/- than control wounds. Although no differences in proliferation were observed in vivo and in vitro, increased migration of keratinocytes was responsible for this effect. These results show the previously unreported role of ADAM-9 in wound repair by regulating keratinocyte migration through modulation of collagen XVII shedding.

Abstract
Prostanoids are an important class of intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering antiglaucoma agents that act primarily via increased uveo-scleral aqueous humor outflow through the ciliary body. We have developed two novel PGE2analogs that are specific agonists for the PGE2receptor subtypes EP2 and EP4, respectively. To identify gene regulatory networks and key players that mediate the physiological effects observed in vivo, we performed genomewide expression studies using human ciliary smooth muscle cells. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR confirmed a largely overlapping gene expression profile subsequent to EP2 and EP4 agonist treatment, with 65 significantly regulated genes identified overall, 5 being specific for the EP2 agonist and 6 specific for the EP4 agonist. We found predicted functional cAMP-response elements in promoter regions of a large fraction of the predominantly upregulated genes, which suggests that the cAMP signaling pathway is the most important intracellular signaling pathway for these agonists in these cells. Several target genes were identified that, as part of complex regulatory networks, are implicated in tissue remodeling processes and osmoregulation (e.g., AREG, LOXL3, BMP2, AQP3) and thus may help elucidate the mechanism of action of these IOP-lowering drugs involving the uveo-scleral outflow path.

Abstract
Loss of FGFRs results in skin abnormalities due to activation of keratinocytes and epidermal T cells. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are master regulators of organogenesis and tissue homeostasis. In this study, we used different combinations of FGF receptor (FGFR)-deficient mice to unravel their functions in the skin. Loss of the IIIb splice variants of FGFR1 and FGFR2 in keratinocytes caused progressive loss of skin appendages, cutaneous inflammation, keratinocyte hyperproliferation, and acanthosis. We identified loss of FGF-induced expression of tight junction components with subsequent deficits in epidermal barrier function as the mechanism underlying the progressive inflammatory skin disease. The defective barrier causes activation of keratinocytes and epidermal γδ T cells, which produce interleukin-1 family member 8 and S100A8/A9 proteins. These cytokines initiate an inflammatory response and induce a double paracrine loop through production of keratinocyte mitogens by dermal cells. Our results identify essential roles for FGFs in the regulation of the epidermal barrier and in the prevention of cutaneous inflammation, and highlight the importance of stromal–epithelial interactions in skin homeostasis and disease.

Abstract
The ability to regenerate damaged tissues is a common characteristic of multicellular organisms. We report a role for apoptotic cell death in promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration in mice. Apoptotic cells released growth signals that stimulated the proliferation of progenitor or stem cells. Key players in this process were caspases 3 and 7, proteases activated during the execution phase of apoptosis that contribute to cell death. Mice lacking either of these caspases were deficient in skin wound healing and in liver regeneration. Prostaglandin E(2), a promoter of stem or progenitor cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, acted downstream of the caspases. We propose to call the pathway by which executioner caspases in apoptotic cells promote wound healing and tissue regeneration in multicellular organisms the "phoenix rising" pathway.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors control a wide range of biological functions, regulating cellular proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation. Although targeting FGF signalling as a cancer therapeutic target has lagged behind that of other receptor tyrosine kinases, there is now substantial evidence for the importance of FGF signalling in the pathogenesis of diverse tumour types, and clinical reagents that specifically target the FGFs or FGF receptors are being developed. Although FGF signalling can drive tumorigenesis, in different contexts FGF signalling can mediate tumour protective functions; the identification of the mechanisms that underlie these differential effects will be important to understand how FGF signalling can be most appropriately therapeutically targeted.

Abstract
Neonatal hair is a clinically important toxicological matrix, as it allows determination of in utero drug exposure. This paper serves to review the physiological development of the hair follicle and hair production during fetal life. An understanding of the mechanisms and timing of hair development in the prenatal period is critical to effectively assessing the time window of exposure determination associated with toxicological analysis of neonatal hair.

Abstract
Corneal epithelial stem cells are thought to reside in the limbus, the transition zoon between cornea and conjunctiva. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) are two paracrine factors that regulate the proliferation, migration and differentiation of the limbal epithelial cells; however, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In an ex vivo limbal explant culture, we found that KGF is a more potent growth stimulator for the epithelial outgrowth than HGF. Immunofluorescence studies of the epithelial outgrowth from cells treated with HGF or KGF showed similar expression patterns of keratin-3 and keratin-14. Interestingly, p63 was highly expressed in KGF-treated limbal epithelial sheets but not in those treated with HGF. Kinase inhibitor studies showed that induction of ΔNp63α expression by KGF is mediated via the p38 pathway. The effect of KGF on limbal epithelial outgrowth was significantly reduced when endogenous ΔNp63α was suppressed, suggesting that KGF-induced limbal epithelial outgrowth is dependent on the expression of ΔNp63α. Our findings strongly suggest that limbal keratocytes regulate limbal epithelial cell growth and differentiation through a KGF paracrine loop, with ΔNp63α expression as one of the downstream targets.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling plays a major role during early vertebrate development. It is involved in the specification of the mesoderm, control of morphogenetic movements, patterning of the anterior-posterior axis, and neural induction. In mammals, 22 FGF ligands have been identified, which can be grouped into seven subfamilies according to their sequence homology and function. We have cloned 17 fgf genes from Xenopus tropicalis and have analysed their temporal expression by RT-PCR and spatial expression by whole mount in situ hybridisation at key developmental stages. It reveals the diverse expression pattern of fgf genes during early embryonic development. Furthermore, our analysis shows the transient nature of expression of several fgfs in a number of embryonic tissues. This study constitutes the most comprehensive description of the temporal and spatial expression pattern of fgf ligands and receptors during vertebrate development to date.

Abstract
Epidermal cell migration is critical for restoration of tissue structure and function after damage. However, the mechanisms by which differentiated cells neighboring the wound sense the wound and assume a motile phenotype remain unclear. Here, we show that Pvr, a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) related to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, and one of its ligands, Pvf1, are required for epidermal wound closure. Morphological comparison of wound-edge cells lacking Pvr or the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway previously implicated in larval wound closure suggests that Pvr signaling leads wound-margin epidermal cells to extend actin-based cell processes into the wound gap while JNK mediates transient dedifferentiation of cells at the wound margin. Genetic epistasis experiments reinforce the conclusion that the JNK and Pvr signaling pathways act in parallel. Tissue-specific knockdown and rescue experiments suggest that epidermally derived Pvf1 may be sequestered in the blood and that tissue damage exposes blood-borne Pvf1 to Pvr receptors on wound-edge epidermal cells and initiates the extension of cell processes into the wound gap. These results uncover a novel mechanism of sensing tissue damage and suggest that PDGF/VEGF ligands and receptors may play a conserved autocrine role in epidermal wound closure.

Abstract
Disturbances of angiogenesis have been suggested to result in the impaired healing of skin wounds. Using a murine incisional wound model, we evaluated the effects of SU6668, an inhibitor of the receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), on the healing of skin wounds. Mice were administered vehicle, SU6668 (100 or 400 mg/kg/day, b.i.d.), or dexamethasone (1 mg/kg/day, b.i.d.), and wound healing was monitored histologically and using a tensiometer. SU6668 at a fully efficacious dose of 100 mg/kg/day had no significant effect on the healing process, while at a supratherapeutic dose of 400 mg/kg/day, there were subtle transient histologic changes and slight decreases in tensile strength, suggesting a slight delay in the wound healing process. In conclusion, these data indicate that inhibition of the receptors for VEGF, PDGF, and FGF at levels necessary to inhibit tumor growth in mouse xenograft models does not affect the healing of incisional wounds in mice. Redundant pathways likely compensate for inhibition of VEGF, PDGF, and FGF signaling pathways in the skin healing process.

Abstract
A key initial event in hair follicle morphogenesis is the localised thickening of the skin epithelium to form a placode, partitioning future hair follicle epithelium from interfollicular epidermis. Although many developmental signalling pathways are implicated in follicle morphogenesis, the role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF, also known as FGF7) receptors are not defined. EGF receptor (EGFR) ligands have previously been shown to inhibit developing hair follicles; however, the underlying mechanisms have not been characterised. Here we show that receptors for EGF and KGF undergo marked downregulation in hair follicle placodes from multiple body sites, whereas the expression of endogenous ligands persist throughout hair follicle initiation. Using embryonic skin organ culture, we show that when skin from the sites of primary pelage and whisker follicle development is exposed to increased levels of two ectopic EGFR ligands (HBEGF and amphiregulin) and the FGFR2(IIIb) receptor ligand KGF, follicle formation is inhibited in a time- and dose-dependent manner. We then used downstream molecular markers and microarray profiling to provide evidence that, in response to KGF and EGF signalling, epidermal differentiation is promoted at the expense of hair follicle fate. We propose that hair follicle initiation in placodes requires downregulation of the two pathways in question, both of which are crucial for the ongoing development of the interfollicular epidermis. We have also uncovered a previously unrecognised role for KGF signalling in the formation of hair follicles in the mouse.
