Collaborative interactions between neutrophil elastase and metalloproteinases in extracellular matrix degradation in three-dimensional collagen gels
BACKGROUND Extended culture of monocytes and fibroblasts in three-dimensional collagen gels leads to degradation of the gels (see linked study in this issue, "Fibroblasts and monocytes contract and degrade three-dimensional collagen gels in extended co-culture"). The current study, therefore, was designed to evaluate production of matrix-degrading metalloproteinases by these cells in co-culture...
متن کاملThe micromechanics of three-dimensional collagen-I gels
We study the micromechanics of collagen-I gel with the goal of bridging the gap between theory and experiment in the study of biopolymer networks. Three-dimensional images of fluorescently labeled collagen are obtained by confocal microscopy and the network geometry is extracted using a 3d network skeletonization algorithm. Each fiber is modeled as a worm-like-chain that resists stretching and ...
متن کاملFully automated three-dimensional tracking of cancer cells in collagen gels: determination of motility phenotypes at the cellular level.
We developed a fully automated three-dimensional cell tracking system that quantified the effect of extracellular matrix components on the infiltration and migration of tumor cells. The three-dimensional trajectories of two highly invasive cell lines, the human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma and the human MDA-MB-231 adenocarcinoma, were determined for long-term infiltration in plain or Matrigel-containin...
متن کاملNormal human primary fibroblasts undergo apoptosis in three-dimensional contractile collagen gels.
Apoptosis of primary fibroblasts was observed in vivo during wound healing in skin and is expected to occur in other organs as well; however, the environmental signal for induction of apoptosis in fibroblasts and the putative influence of cell-matrix interactions on the regulation of apoptosis remain to be identified. Here we provide evidence for the role of fibrillar collagen in this process, ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Human Breast Adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) Cells Proliferation in Co-Culture with Human Adipocytes in Three Dimensional Collagen Gel Matrix: Norepinephrine as a Lipolytic Factor
Background: Norepinephrine plays a trophic role in the control of cell replication and differentiation in target cells that express adrenergic receptors. Methods: In this study, we have tested the influence of infraphysiological, physiological and supraphysiological concentrations (0.0001 nM, 1 nM, 10000 nM) of human norepinephrine on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (human breast adeno...
