In vitro human skin fibroblasts aging was characterized by a continuous increase of collagenase mRNA levels. On the contrary, TIMPβ1 mRNA level decreased only at late passages (> 65% of proliferative life span). Type I and III mRNA levels showed a high variability depending on cell strains studied.
## Abstract Fibroblasts, a major constituent of gingival connective tissue, can produce immunoregulatory cytokines and proteolytic enzymes that may contribute to tissue destruction. In this study, we evaluated the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), an
A recently described endogenous proteolytic process in pieces of human plantar stratum corneum incubated in vitro has been further studied. This process leads to a decrease in cohesion between the cells that had been facing outwards in vivo. Using two methods, that differed with respect to efficienc
