Important constituents of extracellular matrix are collagen, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and various types of proteoglycans, such as versican, perlecan, decorin, and biglycan. Remodeling of extracellular matrix occurs continuously and is affected by various cytokines. The aim of this study was to inves

It has previously been demonstrated that interleukin-1 (IL-I) is expressed in a variety of fibroblast cell lines. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the regulation of IL-1 p production by cultured human dermal fibroblasts. We have shown that IL-I p is constitutively expressed
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-I (IL-I), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were mitogenic for human diploid FS-4 fibroblasts. Dexamethasone amplified the growth-stimulating action of all three agents. Amplification of the growth-stimulating action was maximal when dexamethasone was added a
