Project description:1. The intracellular volume in granulation tissue was about 15% of the total urea space. 2. The experimental granuloma has a greater ability to retain amino acids during the proliferation phase than later during the synthesis of collagen. 3. The synthesis of collagen and other proteins by granulation tissue is related to the concentrations of proline and glutamic acid in the medium. 4. The rate of synthesis of proline from glutamic acid in granulation-tissue slices is greatest during collagen synthesis. It is enhanced by lactate. 5. Extracellular cations influence the synthesis of collagen and ouabain is inhibitory. Synthesis of other proteins is less sensitive in this respect. 6. It is suggested that the synthesis of collagen is related to the supply of certain amino acids, especially proline, and hence to the redox balance, and also to the function of the cell wall.

Project description:Proteinases play a pivotal role in wound healing by degrading molecular barriers, regulating cell-matrix interactions and availability of bioactive molecules. Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13, collagenase-3) is a wide spectrum proteinase. Its expression and function is linked to the growth and invasion of many epithelial cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, the physiologic expression of MMP-13 is associated e.g. to scarless healing of human fetal skin and adult gingival wounds. While MMP-13 is not found in the normally healing skin wounds in human adults, it is expressed in mouse skin during wound healing. Thus, mouse wound healing models can be utilized for studying the role of MMP-13 in the events of wound healing. As the processes such as the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes, angiogenesis, inflammation and activation of fibroblasts are components of wound repair as well as of cancer, many results received from wound healing studies are also adaptable to cancer research. Classically, the process of wound healing can be devided into three phases which are histologically and functionally separate but temporally overlapping: 1) hemostasis and inflammation, 2) re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation, and 3) matrix remodeling. Granulation tissue is formed into the wound via fibroplasia, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition by fibroblasts. Granulation tissue is rich in inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts and blood vessels. After epidermal recovery, the granulation tissue is resolved via matrix remodeling and cell apoptosis. A sterile viscose cellulose sponge (VCS) characterized by defined size and structure can be used to experimentally induce formation of subcutaneous granulation tissue. Compared to normal granulation tissue, this model allows easy examination of the granulation tissue in its entirety but leaving out epidermal keratinocytes in the sample preparation. In this study, we studied the role of MMP-13 in the formation of mouse VCS-induced granulation tissue. We performed gene expression profiling of the granulation tissue samples of Mmp13-/- (KO) and wild type (WT) mice harvested at day 7, day 14 and day 21 after VCS implantation.

Project description:Chronic or delayed healing wounds constitute an ever-increasing burden on healthcare providers and patients alike. Thus, therapeutic modalities that are tailored to particular deficiencies in the delayed wound healing response are of critical importance to improve clinical outcomes. Human amnion-derived viable and devitalized allografts have demonstrated clinical efficacy in promoting the closure of delayed healing wounds, but the mechanisms responsible for this efficacy and the specific wound healing processes modulated by these tissues are not fully understood. Here, we utilized a diabetic murine excisional wound model in which healing is driven by granulation and re-epithelialization, and we applied viable (vHAMA) or devitalized (dHAMA) amnion-derived allografts to the wound bed in order to determine their effects on wound healing processes. Compared to control wounds that were allowed to heal in the absence of treatment, wounds to which vHAMA or dHAMA were applied demonstrated enhanced deposition of granulation tissue accompanied by increased cellular proliferation and increased de novo angiogenesis, while vHAMA-treated wounds also demonstrated accelerated re-epithelialization. Taken together, these data suggest that both vHAMA and dHAMA facilitate wound healing through promoting processes critical to granulation tissue formation. Further understanding of the cellular and tissue mechanisms underlying the effects of tissue-derived matrices on wound healing will enable tailored prescription of their use in order to maximize clinical benefit.

Mmp13-/- (KO) mice were generated as described (Inada et al. 2004, PNAS, 101: 17192-17197) and used in these experiments after backcrossing at least seven generations into C57BL6 mice. The WT mice were generated from the backcrossed heterozygote Mmp13-/- (KO) mice. Granulation tissues were harvested at three time points (7d, 14d, 21d) from Mmp13-/- (KO) and WT mice. One sample of each mouse was analyzed (n=3, 7d; n=4, 14d; n=4, 21d; for each genotype). The samples were processed for RNA extraction and Affymetrix 3'IVT DNA microarray gene expression analysis.

Project description:1. The metabolism of incubated slices of sponge-induced granulation tissue, harvested 4-90 days after the implantation, was studied with special reference to the capacity of collagen synthesis and to the energy metabolism. Data are also given on the nucleic acid contents during the observation period. Three metabolic phases were evident. 2. The viability of the slices for the synthesis of collagen was studied in various conditions. Freezing and homogenization destroyed the capacity of the tissue to incorporate proline into collagen. 3. Consumption of oxygen reached the maximum at 30-40 days. There was evidence that the pentose phosphate cycle was important, especially during the phases of the proliferation and the involution. The formation of lactic acid was maximal at about 20 days. 4. The capacity to incorporate proline into collagen hydroxyproline in vitro was limited to a relatively short period at 10-30 days. 5. The synthesis of collagen was dependent on the supply of oxygen and glucose, which latter could be replaced in the incubation medium by other monosaccharides but not by the metabolites of glucose or tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates.

Project description:The synthesis of thromboplastin, a potent trigger of blood coagulation, can be induced in human peripheral blood monocytes. Indirect evidence suggests that newly synthesized thromboplastin becomes in part available on the cell surface. We have attempted to study the localization and availability of thromboplastin more directly by isolating plasma membranes from isolated human peripheral blood monocytes. The specific activities of the plasma membrane markers increased 16-22-fold in these preparations with a recovery of about 15%. The contamination by mitochondria, lysosomes, nuclei and endoplasmic reticulum was low as estimated by marker enzymes and electron microscopy. In both unstimulated and stimulated monocytes thromboplastin was largely recovered in this plasma membrane fraction, providing direct evidence for its membrane localization. Phospholipase C (E.C. 3.1.4.3) is a potent inactivator of thromboplastin through its hydrolysis of the phospholipids necessary for thromboplastin activity [Otnaess, Prydz, Bjørklid & Berre (1972) Eur. J. Biochem. 27, 238-243]. About 70% of the total membrane thromboplastin activity was inactivated when whole cells were treated with phospholipase C and the membranes subsequently isolated. Following stimulation to induce thromboplastin synthesis, the plasma membranes showed a shift in their relative content of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine consistent with a transmethylation process.

Project description:In recent years, spherical powders with no or minimal internal pores fabricated by the plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) have been highly recommended for powder-type additive manufacturing. Most research on PREP is aimed at establishing relationship between PREP parameters and powder size. However, almost no dedicated research on granulation behavior has been conducted so far. In the present study, PREP experiments of Ti64 and SUS316 alloys were carried out. Numerical modeling based on computational thermo-fluid dynamics was developed to analyze the granulation behavior. In particular, the roles of the additionally introduced gas blast and the morphology of the electrode end surface in fluid granulation were preliminarily investigated. The study showed that in addition to the electrode's rotating speed and diameter, manipulating the plasma arc current (i.e., the melting rate) could also be an effective way to control the PREP-powder size. According to the simulation, there were competing actions of the gas blast affecting the powder size. The gas blast created disturbance on the fluid and deepened the depression of the electrode end surface, which facilitated powder refinement. However, the cooling effect enhanced the fluid stability and hindered fluid granulation. The conclusions indicated the possibility of using various methods to manipulate PREP-powder size.

Project description:Previous wound healing studies have failed to define a role for either α1β1 or α2β1 integrin in fibroblast-mediated wound contraction, suggesting the involvement of another collagen receptor in this process. Our previous work demonstrated that the integrin subunit α11 is highly induced during wound healing both at the mRNA and protein level, prompting us to investigate and dissect the role of the integrin α11β1 during this process. Therefore, we used mice with a global ablation of either α2 or α11 or both integrin subunits and investigated the repair of excisional wounds. Analyses of wounds demonstrated that α11β1 deficiency results in reduced granulation tissue formation and impaired wound contraction, independently of the presence of α2β1. Our combined in vivo and in vitro data further demonstrate that dermal fibroblasts lacking α11β1 are unable to efficiently convert to myofibroblasts, resulting in scar tissue with compromised tensile strength. Moreover, we suggest that the reduced stability of the scar is a consequence of poor collagen remodeling in α11(-/-) wounds associated with defective transforming growth factor-β-dependent JNK signaling.

Project description:Hydroxyapatite-coated cellulose induces a quicker and stronger inflammatory response compared to uncoated cellulose. Furthermore, the coated cellulose increases the homing at circulating bone-marrow derived progenitor cells. For this reason, Illumina microarray was used to study the early gene expression of the forming granulation tissue in the hydroxyapatite-coated sponges.
