Example 5
Human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells (3×104) were seeded in a 24-well plate. The next day, the cells were incubated in 5% serum medium for 42 hours, treated with MMP2 (20 ng/ml, SIGMA/USA) and CG-Noverin or CG-Renuin, respectively, and incubated for 6 hours. The supernatant obtained from centrifugation at 14,000×g for 10 minutes was analyzed using the pro-collagen type I kit (RnD system/USA).
Human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells (3×104) were seeded in a 24-well plate, and then the next day, the medium was exchanged with a 5% serum medium. The cells were treated with IGF-1 (100 ng/ml, Sigma/USA), followed by incubation for 44 hours, and then the cells were treated with MMP2 (20 ng/ml) and CG-Noverin or CG-Renuin, respectively, followed by incubation for 4 hours. The supernatant obtained from centrifugation at 14,000×g for 10 minutes was analyzed using the pro-collagen type I kit.
As a result of testing whether CG-Renuin and CG-Noverin have functions of inhibiting the collagen degradation induced by MMP2, it was verified that the MMP2 treatment increased the intracellular degradation of collagen when compared with a control group, and inhibited the induction of collagen degradation by co-treatment with CG-Renuin or CG-Noverin (
