Changes in suspensions of human keratinocytes due to trypsin

Abstract: Epidermal cell suspensions derived from keratotomed samples of normal human skin have been studied by light microscopy and by scanning and transmission electron microscope techniques. The method allows detailed inspection of the keratinocyte membranes. However, the trypsin used to obtain the suspensions limits the usefulness of the technique as some of the features observed - including invagination of desmosomes, vacuolation, and redistribution of tonofibrils - may be attributable to this proteolytic enzyme.

“…KGF plays an important role in lung morphogenesis and epithelial differentiation in the developing lung, and there is a growing body of evidence that KGF also plays a role in inflammation and repair of injured lung [195]. Endogenous KGF production has been shown to be up-regulated in several animal models of lung injury [196,197]. The protective effect of exogenous KGF in an animal model of acute lung injury was first reported by Panos in 1995 [198].…”

“…Indeed, model 1 demonstrates that short adhesion times allow cellular suspension richer in KSC than longer adhesion times since the percentage of holoclones decreases with the time, confirming that KSC have great adhesion capacities thanks to the surrounding niche [14,15,35], making them able to adhere quicker than TA. However, holoclones being still present in the LA fraction, removed within 10 min of adhesion, show that (i) this adhesion time could be too brief for all KSC to adhere; (ii) the particularly high cellular seeding density could lead to competition between cells; (iii) there could be an integrin gradient among KSC leading to an unequal adhesion kinetic; and (iv) the enzymatic action during the keratinocyte extraction step known to be deleterious for cell surface proteins [36,37] could have a negative influence on adhesion of some KSC.…”

“…It is difficult to evaluate these results because of the heterogeneity of the epidermal tissues used for the fractionation and the crudeness of the epidermal proteins for SDS-PAGE analysis. Although keratin proteins may not be free from influences by trypsin [as Barton (19) reported], the evidence that identical major components of keratin proteins were present in both the whole epidermis and in trypsin treated epidermal cells made it possible to consider the presence of the abnormal proteins in the psoriatic involved epidermis.…”
