Methods Original fibroblasts from human hypertrophic scar and human normal dermis were cultured, and immunocytochemistry was applied to detect localization of expres- sion of FAK and integrin α1 in hypertrophic scar and human normal skin fibroblasts. The expression of integrin α1 was detected before and after FAK antibody blocking hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFB) 48 h later. Meanwhile the collagen synthesis was evaluated by [^3 H]-proline incorporation and HSFB cell proliferation was measured by MTT method. Results The expression of FAK and integrin aI of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts was higher than that of the normal skin fibroblasts significantly ( P 〈 0.01 ). The expression of integrin α1 was reduced after FAK being blocked ( P 〈 0.01 ). Meanwhile the collagen synthesis of human scar-derived fibroblasts by [^3H] -proline incor- poration was depressed respectively ( P 〈 0. 01 ). The cell proliferation was inhibited by using 1:100 and 1:200 FAK antibody with MTI" method ( P 〈 0. 01 ). Conclusion FAK is the key point of signal transmission pathway mediated by integrin α1 , which regulates protein synthesis of integrin α1 , it may play an important role in the proliferation and constriction of hypertrophic scar. FAK antibody can inhibit the collagen synthesis and cell proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.展开更多

Using EMFs to treat bone diseases involves electrical technology, biology, and medicine. But the effects of EMFs are still controversial and the mechanisms are not yet clear. Therefore, more effect is needed to detect the effects at the cellular and molecular levels. This paper investigates the effects of low-energy, low-frequency pulsed capacitively coupled electric fields (PCCEFs) on DNA synthesis in UMR-106 osteoblast-like cells. The equipment can generate 25250Hz frequency, 0300V amplitude and 0.2ms pulse width signal. DNA synthesis is judged by the uptake of 3 H-thymidine ( 3 H-TdR). The results showed that the response of UMR-106 cells to electric field exposure are characterized by: (a) a frequency window for increased DNA synthesis, with a peak near 125Hz; (b) decreased synthesis with increasing electric intensity with repression at 100V/cm and 25Hz.[展开更多
