<p>Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been identified in peripheral blood, and have been reported to be incorporated into ischemic regions such as the ischemic hindlimb. In this study, we examined whether or not transplantation of EPCs is useful for salvaging surgical flaps in vivo. At the same time, we quantitatively compared the neovascularization ability of transplanted EPCs and that of mature endothelial cells (ECs). ECs obtained from the aorta of rats by explantation and passaged several times were used in the present study. EPCs were obtained from the blood of rat hearts. The blood samples were separated by density gradient centrifugation. Light-density mononuclear cells (MNCs) were collected and cultured on plastic plates coated with rat plasma vitronectin. Cells attached at day 7 of culture were deemed to be EPCs. Then PBS (control), ECs, or EPCs (3.0 × 10⁵ suspended in 1.0 ml PBS) were injected at the middle of a flap. Seven days after surgery, the survival lengths of the flaps were evaluated. EPC-transplanted groups revealed statistically significant augmentation of survival length compared with the other two groups (p &lt; 0.003). EPC-transplanted groups had significantly more angiographically detectable blood vessels (p &lt; 0.003) and significantly higher capillary density (p &lt; 0.03) than the other two groups. Confocal microscopy revealed that EPCs were incorporated into enhanced neovascularization. These results suggest that transplantation of EPCs may be useful for salvaging surgical flaps, and EPCs are superior to ECs in neovascularization ability.</p>

　View Summary

<p>In order to construct functional skeletal muscle in vitro for tissue engineering, the micro architecture including microcirculation, neuromuscular junctions, and cell alignment has to be constructed. Thus it has been said that tissue engineered skeletal muscle will not be realized until two or three decades in the future. Skeletal muscle, however, possesses the ability to regenerate partial defects even in adult animals, and this regenerative activity can be a blue print for skeletal muscle tissue engineering. In the present paper, we describe the principle of skeletal muscle regeneration, and then describe the challenges to achieve skeletal muscle tissue engineering.</p>

Fetal scarless wound healing

　View Summary

<p>Fetal cutaneous wound made at a proper developmental stage leaves any scar formation and regenerates normal skin completely. Thus fetal wound healing can be a model of regeneration in mammalian. In this review, various differences between adult and fetal wound healing from molecular, cellular, and morphological aspects are introduced to understand the mechanism of regeneration. Then the transition from fetal to adult type wound healing is discussed in detail.</p>

Differential responses of collagen and glycosaminoglycan syntheses and cell proliferation to exogenous transforming growth factor β1 in the developing mouse skin fibroblasts in culture

　View Summary

<p>Skin fibroblast cultures were established from mouse foetuses at days 14, 15, 16 and 18 of gestation and from newborn mice. Modulations of mitotic and biosynthetic phenotypes of the fibroblasts by transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) were studied. Treatment of the fibroblasts with TGFβ1 at doses of 1 and 10 ng/ml for 48 h resulted in significant stimulation of cell proliferation in the 15-, 16- and 18-day foetal fibroblasts and a slight stimulation in the 14-day foetal fibroblasts. Treatment with TGFβ1 resulted in stimulation of collagen synthesis approximately 2-fold in the 18-day foetal and newborn fibroblasts, but failed to stimulate it in the 14-, 15- and 16-day foetal fibroblasts. TGFβ1 stimulated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis throughout all developmental stages approximately 1.8-2.6 fold. Histological study demonstrated that skin wounds made at day 16 of gestation were replaced with normal-appearing dermis, but at day 18 the wounds left dermal fibrosis and lack of hair follicles. These results indicate that the modulations of fibroblast phenotypes (proliferation and syntheses of collagen and GAG) in response to TGFβ1 occur at different stages of gestation. Ontogenic transitions of skin wound healing and collagen synthetic phenotype with TGFβ1 treatment in cultured fibroblasts occurred between days 16 and 18 of gestation, suggesting that the unresponsiveness of collagen synthesis to exogenous TGFβ1 in cell culture may be related to the phenomenon of scarless wounds in the foetus.</p>
