Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020562. [PMID: 36839884 PMCID: PMC9958951 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Lactoferrin (LF), an iron-binding glycoprotein, has been reported to have anticancer properties. However, the molecular mechanisms behind its anticancer effects on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) have not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the effects of LF on invasion of OSCC, and its underlying molecular mechanism. OSCC cell lines, HSC2 and HOC313, were treated with bovine LF (bLF). The effects of bLF on cell invasion were examined by a chamber migration assay, wound healing assay, and Boyden chamber method with a basement-membrane-analogue. Expression levels of MMP-1, MMP-3, and AP-1 were examined using RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, and western blotting. Roles of LRP1, a receptor of bLF, on cell invasion were analyzed using siLRP1 knockdown cells. Furthermore, to clarify the importance of LRP1 in invasion, the effects of bLF on tPA-induced invasion of OSCC cells were examined. The invasion assays showed that bLF suppressed invasion of the OSCC cells. Moreover, bLF down-regulated AP-1, and resulted in reductions of MMP-1 and MMP-3. With SiLRP1 knockdown, OSCC cells failed to induce their invasion, and bLF was not able to exert its effects on invasion. Furthermore, bLF remarkably inhibited tPA-induced cell invasion. These findings suggest the importance of LRP1 in bLF-suppressed invasion of OSCC cells via the reduction of AP-1 and MMP production.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the presence of certain proteins - EGF (epidermal growth factor), KGF (keratinocyte growth factor), IL-10 (interleukin 10), HGF (hepatocyte growth factor), Alpha2-macroglobulin and IL-1RA (interleukin 1 receptor antagonist) in cryopreserved amniotic membranes at 1 and 18 months and, as a secondary objective, to detect mRNA corresponding to KGF, IL-1Ra, Alpha2-macroglobulin, Fas Ligand, TGF beta (transforming growth factor beta) and Lumican by RT-PCR in membranes preserved at 1 and 18 months. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four samples of amniotic membrane were divided into 2 groups: the first group (N=2) cryopreserved for 1 month and the second group (N=2) cryopreserved for 18 months, in order to be studied by RT-PCR and ELISA. RESULTS RT-PCR detected KGF, IL-1Ra, Alpha2-macroglobulin, Fas Ligand, and Lumican. Of these, FAS Ligand mRNA was found in samples preserved for 1and 18 months. KGF, Lumican, and alpha2-microglobulin mRNA were found only at 1 month, and IL-1Ra mRNA was absent in both sample groups. RT-PCR for TGF-beta was inconclusive. ELISA was performed for detection and quantification of 6 proteins (EGF, KGF, IL-10, HGF, Alpha2-macroglobulin and IL-1Ra) in both amniotic membrane groups. All 6 proteins were found in all samples, with a lower concentration at 18 months compared to 1 month of preservation. CONCLUSION This study shows that membranes cryopreserved in 50% glycerol for 18 months do retain the proteins necessary for regeneration of the corneal surface, giving these membranes their biochemical properties.

Abstract
Interactions of the receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) and its ligands in the context of their role in diabetes mellitus, inflammation, and carcinogenesis have been extensively investigated. This review focuses on the role of RAGE-ligands and anti-RAGE drugs capable of controlling cancer progression. Different studies have demonstrated interaction of RAGE with a diverse range of acidic (negatively charged) ligands such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), high-mobility group box1 (HMGB1), and S100s, and their importance to cancer progression. Some RAGE-ligands displayed effects on anti- and pro-apoptotic proteins through upregulation of the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, while downregulating p53 in cancer progression. In addition, RAGE may undergo ligand-driven multimodal dimerization or oligomerization mediated through self-association of some of its subunits. We conclude our review by proposing possible future lines of study that could result in control of cancer progression through RAGE inhibition.

Leptin regulates the pro-inflammatory response in human epidermal keratinocytes. Arch Dermatol Res 2018; 310:351-362.

Abstract
The role of leptin in cutaneous wound healing process has been suggested in genetically obese mouse studies. However, the molecular and cellular effects of leptin on human epidermal keratinocytes are still unclear. In this study, the whole-genome-scale microarray analysis was performed to elucidate the effect of leptin on epidermal keratinocyte functions. In the leptin-treated normal human keratinocytes (NHKs), we identified the 151 upregulated and 53 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis with the leptin-induced DEGs suggests that leptin regulates NHKs to promote pro-inflammatory responses, extracellular matrix organization, and angiogenesis. Among the DEGs, the protein expression of IL-8, MMP-1, fibronectin, and S100A7, which play roles in which is important in the regulation of cutaneous inflammation, was confirmed in the leptin-treated NHKs. The upregulation of the leptin-induced proteins is mainly regulated by the STAT3 signaling pathway in NHKs. Among the downregulated DEGs, the protein expression of nucleosome assembly-associated centromere protein A (CENPA) and CENPM was confirmed in the leptin-treated NHKs. However, the expression of CENPA and CENPM was not coupled with those of other chromosome passenger complex like Aurora A kinase, INCENP, and survivin. In cell growth kinetics analysis, leptin had no significant effect on the cell growth curves of NHKs in the normal growth factor-enriched condition. Therefore, leptin-dependent downregulation of CENPA and CENPM in NHKs may not be directly associated with mitotic regulation during inflammation.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cornus walteri Wangerin has been used in oriental traditional medicine for the treatment of antidiarrheal and inflammation. AIM OF THE STUDY The efficacy of Cornus walteri Wangerin on skin anti-photoaging was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hydrolyzed Cornus walteri Wangerin leaf was tested for the anti-photoaging effects against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, pro-inflammatory cytokines using human reconstituted skin (KeraSkin™-FT) and also tested for elastase activity in vitro. The MMP-1 and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels of the extract were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The extract of hydrolyzed Cornus walteri Wangerin leaf (CWE) had the elastase inhibitory activity (IC50: 0.457mg/mL). CWE inhibited MMP-1 expression up to 61% in comparison with the control group which was not treated using CWE, but exposed to UVB. CWE also showed an inhibitory effect on releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) in KeraSkin™-FT (30% and 57% inhibition at dose of 50μg/mL, respectively). CONCLUSION CWE is a promising anti-photoaging agent for the treatment of UVB-induced skin.

Abstract
Background: Aphthous ulcers are an extremely common disorder of unknown etiology. These ulcers cause significant morbidity through pain and interference with eating. Thalidomide, an angiogenesis inhibitor, is efficacious for the treatment of aphthous ulcers. Methods: In situ hybridization was performed on an idiopathic aphthous ulcer using probes specific for the angiogenesis factor vascular endothelial growth factor, and its receptors, in order to determine whether these ulcers are highly angiogenic. Conclusions: Aphthous ulcers are highly angiogenic. Thalidomide may act to heal aphthous ulcers by inhibiting angiogenesis and promoting reepithelialization. Excess angiogenesis may inhibit reepithelialization in certain types of ulcers, and angiogenesis inhibitors may actually promote wound healing if ulcers are caused by excess angiogenesis.

Abstract
In this issue, Rohani et al. (2015) report on the role of macrophage-derived stromelysin-2 (matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-10) in promoting the turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) during cutaneous wound repair. They provide evidence that MMP-10 specifically enhances collagenolytic activity of murine MMP-13 produced by M2-like macrophages. These results emphasize the important role of macrophage-derived MMP-10 in regulating tissue remodeling and scar formation during wound healing.

Abstract
Repair following injury involves a range of processes - such as re-epithelialization, scar formation, angiogenesis, inflammation, and more - that function, often together, to restore tissue architecture. MMPs carry out diverse roles in all of these activities. In this article, we discuss how specific MMPs act on ECM during two critical repair processes: re-epithelialization and resolution of scar tissue. For wound closure, we discuss how two MMPs - MMP1 in human epidermis and MMP7 in mucosal epithelia - facilitate re-epithelialization by cleaving different ECM or ECM-associated proteins to affect similar integrin:matrix adhesion. In scars and fibrotic tissues, we discuss that a variety of MMPs carry out a diverse range of activities that can either promote or limit ECM deposition. However, few of these MMP-driven activities have been demonstrated to be due a direct action on ECM.

Abstract
The ratio of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in wounded tissues strictly control the protease activity of MMPs, and therefore regulate the progress of wound closure, tissue regeneration and scar formation. Some amphibians (i.e. axolotl/newt) demonstrate complete regeneration of missing or wounded digits and even limbs; MMPs play a critical role during amphibian regeneration. Conversely, mammalian wound healing re-establishes tissue integrity, but at the expense of scar tissue formation. The differences between amphibian regeneration and mammalian wound healing can be attributed to the greater ratio of MMPs to TIMPs in amphibian tissue. Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of MMP1 to effectively promote skeletal muscle regeneration by favoring extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling to enhance cell proliferation and migration. In this study, MMP1 was administered to the digits amputated at the mid-second phalanx of adult mice to observe its effect on digit regeneration. Results indicated that the regeneration of soft tissue and the rate of wound closure were significantly improved by MMP1 administration, but the elongation of the skeletal tissue was insignificantly affected. During digit regeneration, more mutipotent progenitor cells, capillary vasculature and neuromuscular-related tissues were observed in MMP1 treated tissues; moreover, there was less fibrotic tissue formed in treated digits. In summary, MMP1 was found to be effective in promoting wound healing in amputated digits of adult mice.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) are critical for tissue remodeling during wound repair. Psychological stress has been found to impair wound healing in humans and animals. The objective of this study was to assess MMP and TIMP gene expression during stress-impaired healing. Female SKH-1 mice (n=299) were divided into control and stress groups (13h restraint/day for 3days prior to and 5days post-wounding). Two 3.5mm cutaneous full-thickness wounds were placed on the dorsum of each mouse and wound measurements were performed daily. RT-PCR for gene expression of MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 was performed at days 1, 3 and 5. Immunohistochemical analyses of the healed wounds were performed at days 15 and 28. As expected, wounds healed more slowly in restraint-stressed mice compared to controls. Stressed mice exhibited MMP-8 overexpression and lower TIMP-1 levels during healing, and poorer collagen organization once healed. MMP-8 overexpression may have stemmed from a higher level of neutrophils, observed in wound tissue on days 3 and 5. These findings implicate higher neutrophil numbers, MMP-8 overexpression, and TIMP-1 under-expression, as mechanisms that may compromise wound outcomes such as scarring under conditions of stress.

Abstract
Much is known regarding cardiac energy metabolism in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Under aerobic conditions, the heart prefers to metabolize fatty acids, which contribute to 60-80% of the required ATP. During ischemia, anaerobic glycolysis increases and becomes an important source of ATP for preservation of ion gradients. With reperfusion, fatty acid oxidation quickly recovers and again predominates as the major source of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. Although a number of molecular mechanisms have been implicated in the development of I/R injury, their relative contributions remain to be determined. One such mechanism involves the proteolytic degradation of contractile proteins, such as troponin I (TnI), myosin heavy chain, titin, and the myosin light chains (MLC1 and MLC2) by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). However, very little is known about intracellular regulation of MMP-2 activity under physiological and pathological conditions. Greater understanding of the mechanisms that govern MMP-2 activity may lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies aimed at preservation of the contractile function of the heart subjected to myocardial infarction (MI) or I/R. This review discusses the intracellular mechanisms controlling MMP-2 activity and highlights a new intracellular therapeutic direction for the prevention and treatment of heart injury.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. Development of MMP inhibitors, in particular collagenase inhibitors, for the treatment of arthritis has been more challenging, undoubtedly. Small-molecular-weight collagenase inhibitors may be classified into several different arbitrary structural classes, depending on the catalytic zinc-binding function as well as other structural elements of the inhibitors. This chapter tries to make an attempt in providing the reader with an overall flavor of the type of scaffolds reported in the past few years along with the molecular modeling studies.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of proteases that belong to the metazincin family. These proteins consist of similar structures featuring a signaling peptide, a propeptide domain, a catalytic domain where the notable zinc ion binding site is found and a hinge region that binds to the C-terminal hemoplexin domain. MMPs can be produced by numerous cell types through secretion or localization to the cell membrane. While certain chemical compounds have been known to generally inhibit MMPs, naturally occurring proteins known as tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) effectively interact with MMPs to modify their biological roles. MMPs are very important enzymes that actively participate in remodeling the extracellular matrix by degrading certain constituents, along with promoting cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis. In normal adult tissue, they are almost undetectable; however, when perturbed through injury, disease or pregnancy, they have elevated expression. The goal of this review is to identify new experimental findings that have provided further insight into the role of MMPs in skeletal muscle, nerve and dermal tissue, as well as in the liver, heart and kidneys. Increased expression of MMPs can improve the regeneration potential of wounds; however, an imbalance between MMP and TIMP expression can prove to be destructive for afflicted tissues.

Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive expression analysis for the entire matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene family during the process of epithelial resurfacing following corneal abrasion injury in the mouse. The mRNA levels for all known MMP genes expressed in mouse, the related enzyme ADAM-10, and the known tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) were determined semi-quantitatively by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the uninjured epithelium, and in the epithelial tissue resurfacing the abraded area or residing in its periphery at two time points: during the epithelial migration phase and immediately following wound closure. The mRNA levels for MMP-1a, -1b, -9, -10, -12, and -13 as well as TIMP-1 were significantly up-regulated in the migrating corneal epithelium. After wound resurfacing, the mRNA levels for all of these MMPs were down-regulated, although MMP-1a, -1b, and -13 remained significantly elevated in comparison to the uninjured epithelium. The only gene found to be down-regulated was TIMP-3, which occurred throughout the wound-healing process. During resurfacing, MMP-9 was localized to the front of the migrating epithelium, MMP-10 and -13 were localized throughout the migrating epithelium, and MMP-13 could also be found in the periphery. Following epithelial closure, immunoreactive MMPs-9 and -10 became undetectable, but MMP-13 continued to be found throughout the epithelium. Functional analysis of MMP-10 revealed no effects on epithelial migration or cell proliferation. In conclusion, distinct MMP temporal-spatial profiles define the uninjured corneal epithelium and the corneal epithelium at different stages of regeneration. An extensive review of the literature is also provided in the discussion.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in the field of regenerative medicine is how to optimize tissue regeneration in the body by therapeutically manipulating its natural ability to form scar at the time of injury or disease. It is often the balance between tissue regeneration, a process that is activated at the onset of disease, and scar formation, which develops as a result of the disease process that determines the ability of the tissue or organ to be functional. Using biomaterials as scaffolds often can provide a "bridge" for normal tissue edges to regenerate over small distances, usually up to 1 cm. Larger tissue defect gaps typically require both scaffolds and cells for normal tissue regeneration to occur without scar formation. Various strategies can help to modulate the scar response and can potentially enhance tissue regeneration. Understanding the mechanistic basis of such multivariate interactions as the scar microenvironment, the immune system, extracellular matrix, and inflammatory cytokines may enable the design of tissue engineering and wound healing strategies that directly modulate the healing response in a manner favorable to regeneration.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is now well established as an endocrine organ and multiple hormones termed 'adipokines' are released from it. With the rapidly increasing obese population and the increased risk mortality from prostate cancer within the obese population we looked to investigate the role of the adipokine visfatin in LNCaP and PC3 prostate cancer cell lines. Using immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry we demonstrate visfatin expression in LNCaP (androgen-sensitive) and PC3 (androgen-insensitive) human prostate cancer cell lines as well as human prostate cancer tissue. Additionally, we show that visfatin increases PC3 cell proliferation and demonstrate the activation of the MAPKs ERK-1/2 and p38. Moreover we also demonstrate that visfatin promotes the expression and activity of MMP-2/9 which are important proteases involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, suggesting a possible role for visfatin in prostate cancer metastases. These data suggest a contributory and multifunctional role for visfatin in prostate cancer progression, with particular relevance and emphasis in an obese population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This review will discuss the role of angiogenesis in specific cutaneous diseases. Scientific evidence now points to the role of angiogenesis in tumor development and many other cutaneous disorders. Angiogenesis is a complex process that involves angiogenic growth factors and inhibitors, many of which could be a potential target for pharmacologic intervention. Antiangiogenic agents have recently been applied to dermatologic diseases with promising efficacy. LEARNING OBJECTIVES After completing this learning activity, participants should be able to recognize cutaneous diseases where angiogenesis is likely to be an important factor, recognize scenarios where angiogenic therapy may be useful in conjunction with traditional therapies, and be able to use angiogenic-mediating agents in the treatment of dermatologic disease.

Abstract
Dynamic interactions between growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) are integral to wound healing. These interactions take several forms that may be categorized as direct or indirect. The ECM can directly bind to and release certain growth factors (e.g., heparan sulfate binding to fibroblast growth factor-2), which may serve to sequester and protect growth factors from degradation, and/or enhance their activity. Indirect interactions include binding of cells to ECM via integrins, which enables cells to respond to growth factors (e.g., integrin binding is necessary for vascular endothelial growth factor-induced angiogenesis) and can induce growth factor expression (adherence of monocytes to ECM stimulates synthesis of platelet-derived growth factor). Additionally, matrikines, or subcomponents of ECM molecules, can bind to cell surface receptors in the cytokine, chemokine, or growth factor families and stimulate cellular activities (e.g., tenascin-C and laminin bind to epidermal growth factor receptors, which enhances fibroblast migration). Growth factors such as transforming growth factor-beta also regulate the ECM by increasing the production of ECM components or enhancing synthesis of matrix degrading enzymes. Thus, the interactions between growth factors and ECM are bidirectional. This review explores these interactions, discusses how they are altered in difficult to heal or chronic wounds, and briefly considers treatment implications.

Abstract
In the wound bed of chronic venous leg ulcers, an imbalance of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) may cause excessive proteolysis and impair wound granulation. Soluble mediators in the wound environment may be responsible for this imbalance. The in vitro effect of wound fluid from venous leg ulcers on dermal fibroblast production of MMP-1, MMP-3 and TIMP-1 was compared with the effect of acute wound fluid from two different sources: fluid from post-mastectomy axillary drains and fluid from skin graft donor sites. Significantly higher MMP-1 and MMP-3 levels were induced by chronic venous leg ulcer wound fluid compared with both types of acute wound fluid (P < 0.005). Chronic venous ulcer wound fluid reduced TIMP-1 protein levels significantly more than acute graft fluid (P < 0.05). Venous ulcer wound fluid significantly increased MMP-1 and MMP-3 production in dermal fibroblasts and reduced TIMP-1 production, confirming that mediators in the leg ulcer microenvironment can potentially induce excessive proteolysis in the ulcer dermis by altering the balance between MMPs and TIMPs. Inflammatory mediators including interleukin-1beta and tumour necrosis factor-alpha can induce these MMPs. Further work is required to confirm the factors responsible for the induction of a high MMP and low TIMP profile in fibroblasts by venous ulcer wound fluid.

Abstract
Recent advances in the engineering of three-dimensional tissues known as skin equivalents, that have morphologic and phenotypic properties of human skin, have provided new ways to study human disease processes. This chapter will supply an overview of two such applications--investigations of the incipient development of squamous cell cancer, and studies that have characterized the response of human epithelium during wound repair. Using these novel tools to study cancer biology, it has been shown that cell-cell interactions inherent in three-dimensional tissue architecture can suppress early cancer progression by inducing a state of intraepithelial dormancy. This dormant state can be overcome and cancer progression enabled by altering tissue organization in response to tumor promoters or UV irradiation or by modifying the interaction of tumor cells with extracellular matrix proteins or their adjacent epithelia. By adapting skin equivalent models of human skin to study wound reepithelialization, it has been shown that several key responses, including cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, growth-factor responsiveness and protease expression, will mimic the response seen in human skin. In this light, these engineered models of human skin provide powerful new tools for studying disease processes in these tissues as they occur in humans.

Abstract
Collagenase-3 (MMP-13) is a matrix metalloproteinase capable of cleaving a multitude of extracellular matrix proteins in addition to fibrillar collagens. Human MMP-13 is expressed by fibroblasts in chronic cutaneous ulcers, but not in normally healing adult skin wounds. However, MMP-13 is produced by fibroblasts in adult gingival and in fetal skin wounds characterized by rapid collagen remodeling and scarless healing. Here, we have examined the role of human MMP-13 in remodeling of three-dimensional (3D) collagenous matrix by primary adult human skin fibroblasts. The high level of human MMP-13 expression by fibroblasts achieved by adenoviral gene delivery resulted in potent enhancement of remodeling and contraction of 3D collagen. Fibroblasts expressing MMP-13 in 3D collagen possessed altered filamentous actin morphology with patch-like actin distribution in cell extensions. The expression of MMP-13 promotes survival and proliferation of fibroblasts in floating collagen gel, and results in activation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 by these cells. The results provide evidence for a novel role for human MMP-13 in regulating dermal fibroblast survival, proliferation, and interaction in 3D collagen, which may be an important survival mechanism for fibroblasts in chronic skin ulcers and contribute to scarless healing of adult gingival and fetal skin wounds.

Abstract
Dermatophytes cause intractable superficial infections in humans. Arthroderma benhamiae, a zoophilic dermatophyte, triggers severe inflammatory responses in humans, while Trichophyton tonsurans, an anthropophilic dermatophyte, triggers minimal ones. Cytokines and other factors derived from keratinocytes play important roles in inflammatory and immune responses in the skin. The authors performed an in vitro investigation to determine the human keratinocyte cytokine profiles during dermatophyte infection. The human keratinocyte cell line PHK16-0b was infected with A. benhamiae or T. tonsurans for 24 h, and the cytokines secreted were analysed using a human cytokine antibody array. Marked differences were observed in the cytokine profiles of the cells infected with the two dermatophytes. A. benhamiae infection resulted in the secretion of a broad spectrum of cytokines, including proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and immunomodulatory cytokines. In contrast, T. tonsurans-infected keratinocytes secreted only limited cytokines, including eotaxin-2, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-16. cDNA microarray analysis confirmed that A. benhamiae infection upregulated genes encoding IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17 and interferon (IFN)-γ, while T. tonsurans infection upregulated only a few genes, such as those encoding IL-1β and IL-16. RT-PCR demonstrated that infection by both dermatophytes enhanced IL-8 mRNA expression in keratinocytes. These results suggest that A. benhamiae-induced secretion of several cytokines from keratinocytes may be involved in a severe inflammatory response, and that the limited cytokine secretion from keratinocytes in response to T. tonsurans infection may result in a minimal inflammatory response in the skin. These cytokine profiles may aid in proving the clinical features of dermatophytosis.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of bismuth by autometallography, cell viability, TUNEL assay and microarray analysis of a macrophage cell line. The cells accumulate bismuth in their lysosomes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Cell viability assays show a significant decrease in the number of viable cells related to both bismuth concentrations and exposure time. TUNEL assays after 12 h and 24 h at a bismuth-citrate concentration of 50 microM revealed the presence of 30% and 70% TUNEL-positive cells, respectively, compared with 8% in the controls. We have analysed gene expression profiles for cells exposed to 50 microM bismuth-citrate and for untreated controls at 12 h and 24 h by microarray analysis, which confirmed that bismuth is a powerful metallothionein inducer. A number of glycolytic enzymes are induced by bismuth, suggesting that bismuth is able to induce "hypoxia-like" stress. BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3 (Bnip3) has been suggested as a regulator of hypoxia-induced cell death independent of caspase-3 activation and cytochrome c release. Bnip3 is up-regulated indicating the involvement of Bnip3 as a possible mechanism for bismuth-induced cell death. Differences have been noticed in cell viability and in the modification of the mRNA expression levels at 12 and 24 h. Only 13 genes are modified at both these times, suggesting a time-dependent molecular cascade in which bismuth-exposed cells enter a dormant stage with mRNA down-regulation being followed by cell death of susceptible cells.

Abstract
We have identified C7orf11, which localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in fetal hair follicles, as the first disease gene for nonphotosensitive trichothiodystrophy (TTD). C7orf11 maps to chromosome 7p14, and the disease locus has been designated "TTDN1" (TTD nonphotosensitive 1). Mutations were found in patients with Amish brittle-hair syndrome and in other nonphotosensititive TTD cases with mental retardation and decreased fertility but not in patients with Sabinas syndrome or Pollitt syndrome. Therefore, genetic heterogeneity in nonphotosensitive TTD is a feature similar to that observed in photosensitive TTD, which is caused by mutations in transcription factor II H (TFIIH) subunit genes. Comparative immunofluorescence analysis, however, suggests that C7orf11 does not influence TFIIH directly. Given the absence of cutaneous photosensitivity in the patients with C7orf11 mutations, together with the protein's nuclear localization, C7orf11 may be involved in transcription but not DNA repair.

Abstract
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1)-deficient mice are resistant to Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infections. Corneas healed completely in TIMP-1-deficient mice, and infections were cleared faster in TIMP-1-deficient mice than in wild-type littermates. Genetic suppression studies using matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-deficient mice showed that MMP-9, MMP-3, and MMP-7 but not MMP-2 or MMP-12 are needed for resistance. Increased resistance was also seen during pulmonary infections. These results identify a novel pathway regulating infection resistance.

Abstract
Cutaneous wounds inevitably heal with scars, which can be disfiguring and compromise function. In general, the greater the insult, the worse the scarring, although genetic make up, regional variations and age can influence the final result. Excessive scarring manifests as hypertrophic and keloid scars. At the other end of the spectrum are poorly healing chronic wounds, such as foot ulcers in diabetic patients and pressure sores. Current therapies to minimize scarring and accelerate wound healing rely on the optimization of systemic conditions, early wound coverage and closure of lacerations, and surgical incisions with minimal trauma to the surrounding skin. The possible benefits of topical therapies have also been assessed. Further major improvements in wound healing and scarring require an understanding of the molecular basis of this process. Promising strategies for modulating healing include the local administration of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB to accelerate the healing of chronic ulcers, and increasing the relative ratio of transforming growth factor (TGF)beta-3 to TGFbeta-1 and TGFbeta-2 in order to minimize scarring.

Abstract
Our understanding of MMP expression during corneal repair has previously relied upon animal models, isolated human biopsy specimens and cell culture studies. The aim of this study was to determine the temporal and spatial expression of matrix metalloproteinases following wounding of cultured human corneal tissue. Human corneas were cultured and cut into six pieces. The epithelium was removed with a corneal brush. The tissue was then re-cultured and tissue pieces were fixed up to 7 days post-wounding. Matrix metalloproteinases were detected by in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry. Intracellular laminin-5, a marker of migratory epithelial cells, was located immunohistologically. In the time scale studied tissue series from nine corneas achieved coverage of the stroma with epithelial cells and partial repair of damaged basement membrane, demonstrated by the Periodic acid-Schiff reaction and haematoxylin and eosin counter-staining. By day 3, migrating epithelial cells and stromal cells beneath the wounded area expressed collagenase-1 (MMP-1). Stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) was expressed only by fibroblast-like stromal cells. Stromelysin-2 (MMP-10) was detected in migrating epithelial cells and remained when the stroma was surrounded by a monolayer of epithelial cells. By day 7, development of multi-layered epithelium around the tissue coincided with cessation of MMP expression in both epithelial and stromal cells, except for MMP-9, which remained in epithelial basal cells. Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 was mainly associated with stromal cells and was reduced upon formation of a multi-layered epithelium. This study demonstrates matrix metalloproteinase expression in epithelial and fibroblast-like cells following wounding of human corneal tissue in culture where the cells remain in contact with their natural matrices.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the pathobiology of various T-cell-mediated inflammatory disorders of the intestine and skin. Their synthetic inhibitor has been shown to prevent lethal acute graft-versus-host disease in animal models. We intended to determine the expression of MMPs 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 19 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) 1 and 3 in intestinal and cutaneous lesions of patients suffering from graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation. In situ hybridizations for MMPs 1, 3, 7, 10, and 12 as well as TIMPs 1 and 3 were performed using (35)S-labeled cRNA probes on intestinal (n = 13) and cutaneous specimens (n = 9) from patients with graft-versus-host disease. Immunohistochemical stainings were carried out to localize MMP-9, MMP-19, TIMP-3, and TGF-beta1 proteins, and TUNEL staining, to detect apoptotic cells. TIMP-3 mRNA and protein were detected in cutaneous lesions in areas with vacuolar degeneration of the basal epidermal layer in all skin samples, and they colocalized with apoptotic keratinocytes and partly with staining for TGF-beta. None of the MMPs examined were overexpressed in skin lesions. Signals for MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA was found in 10/13 and 5/13 intestinal biopsies, respectively. In the gut, MMP-19-positive epithelial cells, particularly in the crypts, were found in 10/13 samples. Expression of MMPs 7, 9, 10, and 12 was absent or very low. TIMPs 1 and 3 were expressed by stromal cells in 12/13 and 10/13 gut samples, respectively. Whereas TIMP-1 was expressed particularly by subepithelial cells where epithelium had shed away, TIMP-3 was detected in deeper areas. We conclude that MMPs are differentially regulated in the skin and gut lesions of graft-versus-host disease. In agreement with previous data on cancer cells, TIMP-3, induced by TGF-beta1, may contribute to the apoptosis of keratinocytes in cutaneous graft-versus-host disease lesions, leading to typical histopathological changes. We also conclude that MMPs play a less important role as effector molecules in intestinal graft-versus-host disease than in celiac or inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of the tissue damage and fibrosis in sarcoidosis is poorly understood. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) must be considered in this regard, because they control the lysis of connective tissue components. Immunohistochemical studies (peroxidase and dual labeling for confocal microscopy) of reactivity for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, and the 4 membrane-type-MMPs were made on tissues from patients with cardiac (n = 4) and pulmonary (n = 5) sarcoidosis. The granulomas were histochemically similar in both organs. The multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) showed moderate reactivity for MMP-1 and MMP-9 and variable reactivity for MMP-2 and MMP-3; in addition, they showed colocalization of MT-1-MMP, which activates MMP-2. The reactivity of epithelioid cells (ECs) was moderate for MMP-2 and mild for other MMPs. Macrophages showed weaker reactivity for MMPs than did MGCs and ECs. All 3 types of cells showed very low reactivity for TIMPs. Staining for type IV collagen showed focal damage to the basement membranes of cardiac myocytes and pulmonary alveoli near the granulomas. The cells in sarcoid granulomas contain an abundance of MMPs and a paucity of TIMPs. The MGCs also contain MT-1-MMP and thus can activate MMP-2 in the granulomas. The MMPs can cause damage to adjacent cardiac myocytes and pulmonary alveoli, leading to the interstitial fibrosis produced by sarcoidosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in tissue remodelling and ulceration in inflammatory bowel disease and coeliac disease. Studies to date have concluded that stromelysin 1 is functionally involved in mucosal degradation. However, there are many other MMPs whose function in the gut is currently unknown. This work had two aims: firstly, to use gene array technology to measure changes in MMP and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) expression in a model of T cell mediated injury in the gut, and secondly, to correlate data from gene arrays with that generated by in situ hybridisation. METHODS T cells in explants of human fetal gut were activated with pokeweed mitogen or anti-CD3 plus interleukin 12. Gene array analysis and in situ hybridisation were performed to investigate changes in MMP gene expression. RESULTS Both gene array analysis and in situ hybridisation indicated marked upregulation of stromelysin 2 and macrophage metalloelastase expression in the explants associated with mucosal destruction. The arrays also confirmed our previous observation that interstitial collagenase (MMP-1), stromelysin 1 (MMP-3), and gelatinase B (MMP-9) are upregulated but there was no change in MMP-2, -7, -8, -9, -11, -13, -14-17, or -19. Following T cell activation, transcripts for TIMPs were reduced. CONCLUSIONS These results show that there is differential upregulation of MMPs during T cell responses in the gut and suggest that further studies on the role of stromelysin 2 and macrophage metalloelastase may show that they have a functional role. In addition, the increase in MMPs and reduction in TIMPs suggest that the protease/antiprotease balance in the mucosa may determine the extent of mucosal degradation.

Abstract
Human metalloelastase (MMP-12) has been implicated in elastin degradation and macrophage migration in many pathological conditions. It also generates angiostatin, thus having a potential to prevent tumour angiogenesis. It has previously been shown that transformed epithelial cells express MMP-12 in skin cancer. The aim of this study was further to elucidate the role of metalloelastase in squamous cell cancer (SCC) progression. By in situ hybridization, expression of MMP-12 mRNA was detected in 28/33 vulvar SCC samples in CD-68-positive macrophages, while 10 samples had positive cancer cells. By immunohistochemistry, MMP-12 protein was seen in the same area as the mRNA. MMP-12 mRNA expression in tumour cells correlated with more aggressive histology (p = 0.0099). In contrast, macrophage-derived MMP-12 mRNA was more abundant in well-differentiated grade I than grade III tumours (p = 0.01). However, the level of MMP-12 mRNA, regardless of its origin, did not correlate with metastasis or patient survival. No significant correlation was found between macrophage-derived MMP-12 mRNA and a low amount of blood vessels, as quantitated after von Willebrand staining. In agreement with vulvar SCCs in vivo, MMP-12 was expressed in cultured SCC cells by northern and western blot analysis. In HaCaTs and epithelial MCF-10f cells, MMP-12 mRNA was induced by transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) as measured by quantitative RT-PCR (TaqMan). Two MMPs capable of generating angiostatin in vivo, matrilysin (MMP-7) and gelatinase B (MMP-9), were also examined in these tumours. MMP-7 mRNA was mainly expressed by epithelial tumour cells, particularly in less differentiated tumours. MMP-9 was usually expressed by neutrophils and macrophages; epithelial protein was predominantly found in grade II/III tumours. These results suggest a dual role for MMP-12 in tumour progression.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular proteins during epithelialization of wounds. To evaluate the biological significance of MMPs in epidermal healing, the synthetic broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor GM 6001 (also called Galardin and Ilomastat) was applied topically to standardized human wounds. GM 6001 (10 microg/microl) or vehicle alone was applied every second day onto 4 de-roofed 6 mm suction blister wounds on the volar forearm of healthy male volunteers for 12 days. GM 6001 delayed healing by 2-4 days as assessed macroscopically and microscopically. In situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry showed that MMP-1 (interstitial collagenase) was present in and MMP-2 (gelatinase A) close to laterally migrating keratinocytes whereas MMP-9 (gelatinase B) was seen during maturation of new epidermis. MMP-1 was undetectable in blister roofs (normal epidermis) and found in low levels in normal skin. Total MMP-1 activities increased about 100-fold in wounds, independent of treatment, compared to normal skin as analyzed by specific ELISA-based activity assay. By gelatin zymography, MMP-2, but not MMP-9, was detected in blister roofs and wound healing was associated with increased active MMP-2 and latent MMP-9 levels. GM 6001 prevented activation of MMP-2 and increased latent MMP-9 levels. GM 6001 delayed re-appearance of laminin-5, the synthesis of which correlated with epidermal regeneration. Restoration of stratum corneum, measured indirectly by transepidermal water loss, was also impaired (P<0.05) in the GM 6001 group. In conclusion, pharmacological MMP inhibition delayed epidermal regeneration in vivo, suggesting that MMPs are required to restore epidermis after epidermal ablation in humans.

Abstract
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma is believed to arise from metaplastic mucosa in the distal oesophagus, a condition also known as Barrett's oesophagus (BE). BE develops as a result of injury caused by refluxing gastric and duodenal contents and is associated with increased risk of malignant transformation. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in all aspects of tumour progression; tumour growth, basement membrane degradation, invasion and metastatic spread. Using in situ hybridization, we investigated the expression patterns of collagenases-1 and -3, stromelysin-2, matrilysin, metalloelastase and TIMPs-1 and -3 in BE, adenocarcinoma and lymph-node metastases. Matrilysin was expressed abundantly in 12/15 tumours and in 4/6 lymph-node metastases and its expression correlated with the histological aggressiveness of tumour. Matrilysin and metalloelastase were upregulated already in BE. Stromelysin-2 and collagenase-3 expression was detected only in a few tumours. Collagenase-1 was expressed by cancer and stromal cells in 9/15 tumours. Tumour-infiltrating macrophages expressed metalloelastase in 13/15 cancers. TIMPs-1 and -3 were expressed in 12/15 and 11/15 tumours, respectively. Laminin-5 and tenascin were abundantly expressed at the invasive front of poorly differentiated tumours, but not in BE. Our results indicate that matrilysin is the principal MMP expressed by tumour cells in oesophageal adenocarcinoma, and further studies are needed to investigate whether matrilysin or tenascin-C could be used as a predictive marker for progression of BE to cancer.

Abstract
Previous studies have established that ligation of keratinocyte alpha(2)beta(1) integrin by type I collagen induces expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and that MMP-1 activity is required for the alpha(2)beta(1) integrin-dependent migration of primary keratinocytes across collagenous matrices. We now present evidence that MMP-1 binds the alpha(2)beta(1) integrin via the I domain of the alpha(2) integrin subunit. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with purified human MMP-1 and recombinant alpha(2) integrin I domain, we showed that the alpha(2) integrin I domain specifically bound in a divalent cation-dependent manner to both the pro and active forms of MMP-1, but not to MMP-3 or MMP-13. Although both the I domain and MMP-1 bind divalent cations, MMP-1 bound, in a divalent cation-dependent manner, to alpha(2) integrin I domains containing metal ion-dependent adhesion sites motif mutations that prevent divalent cation binding to the I domain, demonstrating that the metal ion dependence is a function of MMP-1. Using a series of MMP-1-MMP-3 and MMP-1-MMP-13 chimeras, we determined that both the linker domain and the hemopexin-like domain of MMP-1 were required for optimal binding to the I domain. The alpha(2) integrin/MMP-1 interaction described here extends an emerging paradigm in matrix biology involving anchoring of proteinases to the cell surface to regulate their biological activities.

Abstract
AIMS Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in tissue remodelling, which is one of the important aspects of inflammatory disease. To assess the balance between the matrix degradation and production, we analysed the in situ expression of MMP-1, -3, -8 and -9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 and -2, and type I procollagen (PC-I) in inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Immunohistochemistry using frozen sections was performed in 17 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 16 with Crohn's disease (CD). In both UC and CD, MMPs and TIMPs were expressed by inflammatory cells as well as by fibroblastic cells most prominently in actively inflamed areas in ulcer bases, but sparsely in intact inflamed mucosa in both UC and CD. In UC, inflamed mucosa with erosions expressed these substances focally. Fibroblasts also expressed PC-I. We identified that vascular smooth muscle cells of venules in ulcer bases expressed MMP-1 and -9, TIMP-1 and PC-I. These venules also expressed E-selectin, a cell adhesion molecule to facilitate the leucocyte extravasation, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 2, consistent with their property of newly formed vessels. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that MMPs are involved in the tissue remodelling, angiogenesis and promotion of leucocyte extravasation in the actively inflamed area in the ulcer base in both UC and CD. MMP-1 expression in the mucosa may be related to the initial step of ulceration in UC. Therapeutic manipulation of extracellular matrix turnover would be an effective therapy to alleviate active inflammation and accelerate ulcer healing.

Abstract
In skin biology, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in inflammatory matrix remodeling, neovascularization, wound healing and malignant transformation. Psoriasis is histologically characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, infiltration of inflammatory cells, neoangiogenesis and production of cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, TGF-alpha, and IFN-gamma, also capable of regulating MMP transcription. To investigate the role of stromelysins-1 and -2, matrilysin, metalloelastase, collagenases-1 and -3 and 92-kDa gelatinase as well as their inhibitors, TIMPs-1 and -3, in psoriasis, we performed in situ hybridization using 35S-labeled cRNA probes on 29 psoriatic lesions and 9 samples of normal looking skin from psoriatic patients. Metalloelastase mRNA was detected in 21/27 samples in macrophages that had migrated into the epidermis or in the inflammatory infiltrates of the superficial dermis. A quantity of 92-kDa gelatinase was found in macrophages and neutrophils (25/27). Stromelysin-1 mRNA was detected in basal keratinocytes in 4/21 lesions. Intracellular laminin-5 immunosignal in basal keratinocytes of the same samples, suggested that stromelysin-1 might participate in remodeling of the basement membrane zone. No signal for stromelysin-2 or collagenase-3 was found and only sweat glands were positive for matrilysin. TIMP-1 was more abundantly expressed than TIMP-3 in the inflammatory infiltrates and endothelial cells of dermal papillae (22/29). TIMP-3 was expressed perivascularly in 9/16 samples. Our results suggest that overexpression of the investigated MMPs by keratinocytes is not associated with psoriasis. However, macrophages express MMPs in psoriatic skin. Also TIMPs, particularly TIMP-1, were abundantly expressed, suggesting that mere MMP overexpression is unlikely to contribute to psoriatic tissue changes.

Abstract
Using an in vitro model of keratinocyte activation by the extracellular matrix following injury, we have identified epsin 3, a novel protein closely related to, but distinct from previously described epsins. Epsin 3 contains a domain structure common to this gene family, yet demonstrates novel differences in its regulation and pattern of expression. Epsin 3 mRNA and protein were undetectable in keratinocytes isolated from unwounded skin, but induced in cells following contact with fibrillar type I collagen. The native triple helical structure of collagen was required to mediate this response as cells failed to express epsin 3 when plated on gelatin. Consistent with the reported function of other epsins, epsin 3 was evident in keratinocytes as punctate vesicles throughout the cytoplasm that partially co-localized with clathrin. In addition, epsin 3 exhibited nuclear accumulation when nuclear export was inhibited. In contrast to other known epsins, epsin 3 was restricted to keratinocytes migrating across collagen and down-regulated following cell differentiation, suggesting that expression was spatially and temporally regulated. Indeed, epsin 3 was localized specifically to migrating keratinocytes in cutaneous wounds, but not found in intact skin. Intriguingly, Northern hybridization and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction experiments indicated that epsin 3 expression was restricted to epithelial wounds or pathologies exhibiting altered cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Thus, we have identified a novel type I collagen-induced epsin that demonstrates structural and behavioral similarity to this gene family, yet exhibits restricted and regulated expression, suggesting that epsin 3 may serve an important function in activated epithelial cells during tissue morphogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a specific dermatological manifestation of coeliac disease and 80% of DH patients have gluten sensitive enteropathy manifested by crypt hyperplasia and villous atrophy. Matrix degradation mediated by collagenase 1 (MMP-1) and stromelysin 1 (MMP-3) has previously been implicated in the pathobiology of coeliac intestine and cutaneous DH blisters. AIMS To study expression of stromelysin 2, metalloelastase, collagenase 3, and matrilysin in the intestine and skin of DH patients. METHODS In situ hybridisation using 35S labelled cRNA probes was performed on duodenal biopsies of 15 DH patients, three samples each of control duodenal or jejunal mucosa, fetal ileal explants, lesional DH skin, and 19 serial biopsies of experimental DH blisters. Immunostaining was used to examine type IV collagen, macrophages (CD68), and 92 kDa gelatinase (MMP-9) in the specimens. RESULTS Metalloelastase (MMP-12) was abundantly expressed by subepithelial macrophages in both coeliac intestine and spontaneous and induced DH rash. It was also upregulated in the experimental model of coeliac disease (staphylococcal endotoxin B stimulated fetal explants). The only other MMP detected was MMP-9 which did not colocalise with MMP-12. CONCLUSIONS Upregulation of metalloelastase is associated with T cell mediated immune responses both in the intestine and skin. In addition to modulating macrophage migration, it may contribute to degradation of proteoglycans or basement membrane components in the subepithelial mucosa.
