    Abstract Lipase-catalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution is a method of obtaining optically pure chiral alcohols and amines, which requires additional tools for determining enantiomerical purity. Herein, we present a study on multigram-scale hydrolytic kinetic resolution of trans-2-azidocyclohexyl acetate using Pseudomonas cepacia lipase immobilized on Immobead support. We investigated several parameters of the preparative-scale process: temperature, organic co-solvent, and the influence of calcium ions. Moreover, we have developed an efficient fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride (Fmoc-Cl) derivatization protocol for 2-azidocyclohexanol, which enabled chiral reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) determination of enantiomeric excess.

    Abstract The adverse physiological and psychological effects of scars formation after healing of wounds are broad and a major medical problem for patients. In utero, fetal wounds heal in a regenerative manner, though the mechanisms are unknown. Differences in fetal scarless regeneration and adult repair can provide key insight into reduction of scarring therapy. Understanding the cellular and extracellular matrix alterations in excessive adult scarring in comparison to fetal scarless healing may have important implications. Herein, we propose that matrix can be controlled via cellular therapy to resemble a fetal-like matrix that will result in reduced scarring.

    Abstract Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is known to stimulate dermal wound healing events (fibroplasia and fibrosis). In this study, the effect of TGF-beta on epidermal wound healing (re-epithelialization) was examined. Epidermal cell outgrowth from partial-thickness porcine skin explants was used as an in vitro model for epithelialization. All cultures were grown in medium with 1% fetal bovine serum, which was sufficient for explant viability but low enough to permit measurement of modulation by added factors. Because TGF-beta is known to act in concert with other growth factors, it was evaluated alone and in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). The results indicate that TGF-beta produced earlier initiation of outgrowth, by 1-2 d compared with control cultures, and increased the rate of outgrowth during the migratory phase of culture (Days 1-3). Compared to controls, EGF alone produced a greater percentage of growing explants and an increased rate of outgrowth during the mitotic phase (Days 4-7). TGF-beta (1 or 10 ng/ml) and EGF (5 ng/ml) had an additive rather than a synergistic effect on outgrowth. PDGF-treated explants did not show enhanced growth when PDGF (2.5 units/ml) was added alone or together with TGF-beta and EGF. The ability of TGF-beta to produce earlier initiation of outgrowth was not due to an effect on mitosis, because TGF-beta did not increase the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into keratinocytes in the growing epidermal sheets. Rather, it is likely that TGF-beta facilitated keratinocyte migration, possibly by unmasking a receptor on the epidermal cell surface. These results suggest that TGF-beta may play a role in early epidermal wound healing.

    Abstract Cell therapy is a widely applicable therapeutic approach using cells and cell elements, frequently from fetal or young animals, for their beneficial effects. This study evaluated the host response to and tolerance of transplanted fetal skin fibroblasts. Cultured fibroblasts from adult rabbit skin (autogenic and allogenic), 21-day fetal rabbit skin (allogenic), and adult pig skin (xenogenic) were labeled with a fluorescent vital dye CM-DiI, injected intradermally into the dorsal skin of adult rabbits at multiple sites and then biopsied over an 8-week period. Each cell type showed a biphasic distribution curve with an early phase (0 to 28 days) and a late phase (28 to 56 days). In the early phase, cells showed a rise and fall in total cell density (reflecting an increase and then a decrease in total cell number), followed by a slow decrease in cell density with cells still detectable at 56 days. Fetal cells showed the highest survival at the end of the study. None of the groups showed clinical or histologic signs of acute inflammation or rejection. This study demonstrated that (1) transplanted fibroblasts are well tolerated by an immunologically competent host, (2) CM-DiI-labeled cells are detectable in vivo for at least 8 weeks, and (3) fetal fibroblasts have a distribution and survival profile that is distinct from that of adult fibroblasts.

    Abstract We have previously shown that human squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) express the interleukin 2 receptor (IL2R)-alpha and -beta chains, and that the ligand, IL2, directly inhibits growth of the tumor in vitro and in vivo in the tumor xenograft-nude mice model. We now show that the alpha and beta chains of IL2R are expressed on a variety of human carcinoma cell lines and on normal human keratinocytes in early-stage cultures. While all carcinoma cells in a population expressed IL2R-alpha and -beta proteins, in keratinocytes obtained from different normal donors, variable proportions of cells were positive, as measured by flow cytometry. The carcinoma lines and 2/5 keratinocyte lines studied were also found to contain transcripts for the IL2R-gamma chain detectable by combined reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and hybridization with the specific cDNA probe. Incubation of the gastric (HR) or renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines, but not of other IL2R+ carcinoma cell lines or normal keratinocytes, in the presence of IL2 resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of tumor cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for IL2R-beta chain completely reversed this growth inhibitory effect of IL2. The ligand, IL2, also down-regulated surface expression of its own receptor and of intercellular adhesion molecule-I (ICAM-I) or class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens on IL2R+ tumor cells. All carcinoma cells studied incubated in the presence of IL2 exhibited significantly increased sensitivity to growth-inhibitory effects of other cytokines such as interferon (IFN)-gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha or transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta. IL2 inhibited growth of the HR cells by arresting a significant proportion of tumor cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Thus, IL2 can have direct effects on IL2R+ carcinoma cells, leading to changes in growth or to increases in sensitivity of tumor cells to cytostatic activities of other cytokines.

    Abstract Purpose: The effect of sex hormones on the protein and collagen content of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc of adult male and female rats.
    Materials and methods: One hundred forty-four Wistar rats were assigned to 14 groups of 12 each. Two groups, one female and one male, served as a control and received no treatment, and two other groups (one female and one male) received a sham gonadectomy and placebo hormone. The remaining 10 groups (five males and five females) received either orchiectomy or ovariectomy, followed by administration of estrogen, progesterone, combined estrogen and progesterone, or testosterone. The total protein and collagen content of the TMJ disc were determined using the calorimetric hydroxyproline method.
    Results: The collagen content of TMJ discs of control males was statistically greater than the collagen content of the control female rats. This difference disappeared after ovariectomy of females and orchiectomy of males. Also, there was a general trend for a decrease in collagen and protein content to be produced by estrogen, progesterone, and by estrogen combined with progesterone in castrated male and female rats, and by orchiectomy of male rats. There was also a trend toward an increase in collagen and protein content after ovariectomy in female rats and administration of testosterone to castrated male and female rats. However, the only statistically significant effect of the drugs tested was that of estrogen combined with progesterone in ovariectomized female rats (a lowering effect on the total protein) and of estrogen alone in orchiectomized male rats (a lowering effect on the collagen content).
    Conclusion: Steroid sex hormones have an effect on the collagen and protein content of the TMJ disc of the rat as indicated by the difference in the values between control males and females and by the disappearance of this difference on castration of both male and female animals. This was also manifested by the significant effect of estradiol on collagen content of castrated males, by the effect of estrogen combined with progesterone on the protein content of castrated females.

    Abstract Clones of dermal fibroblasts from the skin of 4 normal subjects and 5 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS; scleroderma) were established, and their synthetic and proliferative characteristics were compared. A limiting-dilution assay was used to determine frequencies of cloning in the microcultures of dermal fibroblasts plated. The clones derived from single cells were expanded in vitro and examined (in passages C-H) for growth and synthesis of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and collagenase-sensitive protein (CSP). The clonogenicity of PSS fibroblasts was not significantly different from that of normal fibroblasts. Normal fibroblast clones were characterized by low levels of GAG and CSP synthesis, and there was a correlation between the GAG and CSP phenotypes. In contrast, clones of PSS fibroblasts were often, but not always, high producers of GAG and CSP, but there was no correlation between the levels of GAG and CSP synthesis. It appears that scleroderma skin is composed of fibroblast clones that are unable to regulate the synthesis of connective tissue components and often synthesize large amounts of connective tissue macromolecules.

    Abstract Purpose: Fetal dermal repair is regenerative and scarless until middle to late gestation, when there is a transition to fibrotic repair. Fetal skeletal muscle and tendon undergo repair with fibrosis similar to the process in adults. This study addresses whether fetal mucosal healing is regenerative and scarless.
    Methods: Anesthetized pregnant rabbits underwent laparotomy and controlled hysterotomy at 21 to 23 days' gestation (term is 31 days). A midline thyrotomy was made, followed by cricoidotomy and circumferential cauterization of the subglottic mucosa. A similar insult was applied to weanlings. The data were collected in 2 groups. One group was followed to term and killed at 4 weeks. A second group was killed after 6 days (30 days' gestation). The weanlings were killed at similar points. The larynges were harvested and processed for histological and morphometric analysis.
    Results: Three litters were followed to term. Of these, 1 was not recovered; in the other two, 7 of 8 manipulated fetuses were found and 3 of 8 were viable. The fourth litter was harvested after 6 days; all 4 injured fetuses were recovered and viable. All animals in the fetal injury groups healed with complete regeneration of the airway mucosa. In contrast, weanlings injured post partum had mucosal inflammation, necrosis, and ulceration; squamous metaplasia and basal cell hyperplasia were also found. There were fibrosis, granulation tissue, and inflammation in the lamina propria; chondritis, cartilaginous necrosis, chondrolysis, and perichondritis were also found.
    Conclusions: Fetal airway mucosal healing is regenerative and, thus, scarless. This study provides further support for the thesis that skin and mucosa respond to injury similarly in both the developmental and postpartum stages, and that subglottic stenosis is reasonably thought of as the "hyperplastic scar" of the airway. These results have potential therapeutic applications for mucosal wound management.

    Abstract In comparison to the extensive study of skin wound healing, there have been few reports investigating mucosal wound healing. Our primary objective was to compare the natural progression of wound healing in airway mucosa to skin in a rabbit model. Split-thickness skin wounds and subglottic mucosal wounds created by drill injury were compared on days 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 after injury. Histologic examination was performed by a veterinary pathologist blinded to sample identity. Subglottic wounds showed a 'fibrinous clot' overlying the epithelium, analogous to the fibrin crust in skin wounds. Re-epithelialization started on day 5 in the subglottic epithelium and was complete by day 14; fibroplasia and fibrosis in the lamina propria were present on days 7-21. This wound healing profile paralleled the skin epidermis and dermis, respectively. The epithelial changes, however, were temporally extended in the airway. Our secondary objective was to determine the effects of treating airway mucosa with a bioresorbable membrane, modified sodium hyaluronate and carboxymethylcellulose (modified HA/CMC), placed over the subglottic wounds of four rabbits after drill injury. Subglottic wounds treated with modified HA/CMC showed a more mature epithelium and less fibrosis on day 21. In this pilot study, the application of a bioresorbable membrane improved mucosal wound healing at both the epithelial and lamina propria levels. Clearly, a larger study must be performed to confirm this interesting observation.

    Abstract In contrast to skin, mucosal wound healing has not been extensively studied. Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is an excellent model for such investigation. The main objective of this pilot study was to develop a chronic model of SGS in a small animal (i.e. rabbit). In so doing, a serendipitous observation was made that the development of SGS is directly related to depth of the injury and is independent of circumferential extent. Animals with deep injury (i.e. deep to the lamina propria, reaching the perichondrium), independent of age and circumferential extent, experienced respiratory obstruction resulting from edema and granulation tissue formation and died or had to be sacrificed in the acute period. This was in contrast to no risk of mortality in the more superficially injured group. Histology was used to characterize this model of SGS. In the mucosal epithelium, or mucosa, changes of inflammation, squamous metaplasia, basal cell hyperplasia, necrosis and ulceration were only seen acutely and total regeneration of the epithelium was achieved by the end of the study period. In contrast, changes within the lamina propria, including chronic inflammatory cellular infiltrates and fibroplasia, were lasting and resulted in fibrotic repair, not regeneration. These findings are quite similar to the healing events in skin and suggest that SGS is the mucosal equivalent of a 'keloid' or, perhaps more appropriately, a 'hypertrophic scar.' Likewise, cartilage degeneration and deformation were persistent markers of the chronic phase of healing. Like the lamina propria, the response to injury was reparative.
