Collagenase secretion accompanying changes in cell shape occurs only in the presence of a biologically active cytokine.

چکیده
We have investigated the relationship between collagenase production, cell shape and stimulatory factors in cell culture. In a homogeneous culture of primary rabbit corneal stromal cells, shape change induced by a variety of agents was not effective in stimulating collagenase secretion. Only in the presence of a biologically active cytokine or phorbol myristate acetate was a correlation seen between changes in cell shape (induced by a second agent) and collagenase secretion by these primary cells. Cell shape changes were not, however, necessary for collagenase secretion, since certain concentrations of endotoxin or lactalbumin hydrolysate effected secretion of the enzyme in the absence of morphological changes. With passaged cells or mixed cell cultures, where cell shape change did correlate with collagenase secretion without the addition of an exogenous agent, the production of an effective cytokine (autocrine or paracrine) was demonstrated. Thus cell shape change seems to be neither universally necessary nor sufficient for the stimulation of collagenase secretion. It is proposed that the function of cytokines may be more immediately related to gene expression in this system than is change in the shape of the cell. The hypothesis is presented that cell shape changes may render the target cells receptive to cytokines, perhaps by replacing the need for a natural cytokine cofactor. It is also demonstrated here that the use of passaged cells, mixed cell cultures containing endogenous cytokine-secreting cells or tissue culture additives can profoundly affect the interpretation of the effect of various agents on collagenase secretion, and may lead to observations that are not directly relevant to cell function in vivo.

Keratoconus experimentally produced in mice using collagenase
Introduction: Keratoconus is a relatively common disease of cornea in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to thin and change to a conical shape and scar at the central portion of cornea. So far, few methods and drug treatments were introduced due to both lack of accepted animal models to induce experimental keratoconus and limitation of research in human considering ethical issu...

Background and Objective: Oxidative stress induced by proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β plays a major role in β-cell destruction in diabetes type 1. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant and protective effects. Thus, objective of this study was to assess the protection exerted by Sal B on isolated rat islets exposed to IL-1β and to investigate an underlyin...

Inefficient secretion of the human coagulation factor (hFVIII) in mammalian expression systems is one ofthe main causes of the hFVIII low expression level, attributed to its interaction with a chaperone known asBiP/GRP78. In order to improve secretion efficiency of the hFVIII, based on the higher secretion level of theporcine FVIII and analysis of the hFVIII A110 region, that ...
متن کاملChanges in cell shape correlate with collagenase gene expression in rabbit synovial fibroblasts
Induction of the neutral proteinase, collagenase, is a marker for a specific switch in gene expression observed in rabbit synovial fibroblasts. A variety of agents, including 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, cytochalasins B and D, trypsin, chymotrypsin, poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), and trifluoperazine induced this change in gene expression. Induction of collagenase by these agents was...
