The proliferative capacity of neonatal skin fibroblasts is reduced after exposure to venous ulcer wound fluid: A potential mechanism for senescence in venous ulcers

Abstract: These data suggest that the venous ulcer microenvironment adversely affects young, rapidly proliferating fibroblasts such as NFFs and induces fibroblast senescence. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 might be involved in this process. The role of other unknown inhibitory mediators, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines, in venous ulcer development and impaired healing must be considered.

“…Similarly, an increase in fibroblast senescence appears to predominate in the venous ulcers and skin tissue of diabetic mice (37). Consistent with these findings, it was reported that a number of senescence-like features (e.g., the increased expression of SA-␤-gal, decreased production of cyclin D1, phosphorylated RB, and growth factors, and increased level of p21) can be recapitulated by exposing normal fibroblasts in culture to wound fluids derived from chronic nonhealing wounds (36,47). It is noteworthy that the most common features of these chronic wound microenvironments include markedly increased ROS levels, an active species that attacks DNA, causing the accumulation of lipofuscin (a molecule that cannot be degraded by cells) and DNA damage-induced cell cycle arrest (7)(8)(9), the decreased expression and secretion of growth factors [epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin like growth factor I (IGF-I)], decreased keratinocyte migration, increased tissue proteases, and microbial contamination (1,12).…”

“…Indeed SIPS has already been shown to exist in many pathophysiological conditions. For instance, HDFs excised from gastric veinous ulcers display several features of senescence: reduced proliferative capacity, enlarged size, SA ␤-gal activity, overexpression of fibronectin [18,19]. HDFs cultured from distal lower extremities in patients with veinous insufficiencies also display cellular characteristics of senescence [20] as well as arteries subjected to balloon angioplasty [21], tissue surrounding liver carcinomas [22] and benign prostatic hyperplasia [23].…”

“…An early study with immunostaining detected TNF-a at the venous ulcer bed along with undegraded fibrin (Claudy et al, 1991). Subsequently, six studies (Mendez et al, 1999;Murphy et al, 2002;Cowin et al, 2006;Wallace et al, 2006;Jull et al, 2007;Charles et al, 2009) showed a correlation between TNF-a and the non-healing state of venous ulcers. Two studies revealed higher levels of TNF-a in non-healing ulcers compared with healing ulcers (Murphy et al, 2002;Charles et al, 2009).…”
