## ) is a potent cytokine that stimulates interstitial collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1). In this study, we compared the mechanism(s) by which IL-1b induces collagenase gene expression in two very different cells, normal human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) and an aggressive breast ca
We have recently established a novel fibroblast culture system supplemented with L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. The addition of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate enables human dermal fibroblasts to organize a three-dimensional dermis-like structure by accumulating collagens and extracellular matrices. The p
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility that the biological changes observed in connective tissue matrix components of photoaging skin may be induced by an alteration of biosynthesis in fibroblasts damaged by reactive oxygen species (ROS). We investigated the effect of ROS induced
EPC-1 (early population doubling level cDNA-1) is a quiescence-specific gene expressed at high levels by early passage WI-38 fibroblasts under conditions of either density-dependent growth arrest or serum deprivation. Late passage WI-38 cells lose the ability to express EPC-1 under all conditions te
