An immediate depression of the rate of cell proliferation occurred upon addition of glucocorticosteroids to cultures of human skin fibroblasts in the early growth stages. A reduced sensitivity or even insensitivity of the fibroblasts to growth inhibition inhibition was found upon the addition of the

β¦ Synopsis
Photodynamic effects on the nuclear envelope of human skin fibroblasts were investigated by confocal laser fluorescence microscopy and transmembrane resting potential measurements. The results show staining of the nuclear envelope after short incubation times with Photosan III, Photofrin II and haematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) enriched with monomers. Maximum staining was found at the centre of the nuclear envelope. The sequence of fluorescence intensity was HPD enriched with monomers > Photofrin II > Photosan III. After lethal treatment with Photosan III and tetrasulphonated aluminium chloride phthalocyanine, the nuclear transmembrane potential of the nuclear membrane decreased from -20 mV to about -10 mV with reference to the plasma membrane potential.

## ABSTRACT The influence of hyaluronan (HA) on the expression of human skin fibroblast elastaseβtype protease (HSFEp) (Homsy et al, 1988) was studied. At confluency of HSF cultures, hyaluronan increased the level of HSFEp in a time and doseβdependent fashion, Optimal effect was observed after 48 h
