Cyclic mechanical stretch reduces myofibroblast differentiation of primary lung fibroblasts.
In lung fibrosis tissue architecture and function is severely hampered by myofibroblasts due to excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and tissue contraction. Myofibroblasts differentiate from fibroblasts under the influence of transforming growth factor (TGF) β(1) but this process is also controlled mechanically by cytoskeletal tension. In healthy lungs, the cytoskeleton of fibroblasts i...
متن کاملExtracellular collagenase from Trichophyton schoenleinii.
The dermatophyte Trichophyton schoenleinii elaborates an extracellular collagenase which is specific for native collagen and gelatin and is separable from an enzyme which is active against Azocoll. The fungal enzyme differs from the bacterial collagenases in its acid pH and small molecular weight. In addition, the fungal enzyme is irreversibly inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, where...
متن کاملGene expression in response to cyclic mechanical stretch in primary human dermal fibroblasts
The human dermal skin is permanently exposed to mechanical stress, for instance during facial expression, which might cause wrinkles with age. Cyclic mechanical stretching of cells results in cellular and cytoskeleton alignment perpendicular to the stretch direction regulating cellular response. With gene expression profiling it was aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes associate...

J Appl Physiol 89: 2099–2104, 2000.—Isolated, spontaneously beating rabbit sinoatrial node cells were subjected to longitudinal stretch, using carbon fibers attached to both ends of the cell. Their electrical beha...
متن کاملHeat shock of rabbit synovial fibroblasts increases expression of mRNAs for two metalloproteinases, collagenase and stromelysin
Two metalloproteinases, collagenase and stromelysin, are produced in large quantities by synovial fibroblasts in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. These enzymes play a major role in the extensive destruction of connective tissue seen in this disease. In this study, we show that heat shock of monolayer cultures of rabbit synovial fibroblasts increases expression of mRNA for heat shock prote...
