Production of basement membrane components by a reconstructed epidermis cultured in the absence of serum and dermal factors

Abstract: A fully differentiated epithelium displaying features of human epidermis was obtained in vitro by culturing second-passage normal human keratinocytes for 14 days in defined medium and on an inert polycarbonate filter substratum at the air-liquid interface. Vertical sections stained for histology and indirect immunofluorescence studies showed that the 'basal' cells synthesize and secrete all major markers of hemidesmosomes and the lamina lucida. Components of the lamina densa are also expressed. Collagen VII is… Show more

“…Epithelium of skin equivalent forms a multilayered structure which is similar to that of normal skin [11,12,15,34]. In addition, skin equivalent also forms basement membrane including the expression of α 6 β 4 integrin, laminin, and type IV and VII collagens [2,4,12,20,29].…”
