Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Lymphedema
Kim, Dong Ik,Lee, Byung Boong,Yeo, Un Cheol,Lee, Eil Soo,Kim, Won Serk,Chun, Ho Soo,Hwang, Ji Hye 대한피부과학회 1997 Annals of Dermatology Vol.9 No.2
Background : Lymphedma occurs when tissue swelling develops through a failure of lymph drainage in the face of a normal capillary filtration. Little is known about water behavior in lymphedma. Objective : Our purpose was to investigate, by means of ultrasound, the distribution of intradermalfluid in patients with lymphedema in response to 2 weeks' physical therapy. Method : Ten patients with lymphedema were treated by 2 weeks' physical therapy. Before and after 2 weeks' treatment, circumference and ultrasonographic evaluation was done. Ultrasound images were obtained with a 20 ㎒ scanner. The echogenicity of the dermis and the skin thickness were quantified by in-built image analyzer. Results : Low echogenic pixels showed the most noticeable and consistent change after 2 weeks' physical therapy. Conclusion : Ultrasonographic evaluation could be a useful tool in evaluating lymphedema.

<P><I>S</I>-Methylmethionine sulfonium (SMMS) was reported to have wound-healing effects; we therefore have investigated the photoprotective effect of SMMS in the present study. SMMS increased the viability of keratinocyte progenitor cells (KPCs) and human dermal fibroblasts (hDFs) following ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation, and reduced the UVB-induced apoptosis in these cells. SMMS increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), and the inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway significantly decreased the SMMS-induced viability of KPCs and hDFs. In addition, SMMS attenuated the UVB-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in KPCs and hDFs. SMMS induced the collagen synthesis and reduced the matrix metalloproteinase-1 expression in UVB-irradiated hDFs. In animal studies, application of 5% and 10% SMMS before and after UVB-irradiation significantly decreased the UVB-induced erythema index and depletion of Langerhans cells. In summary, SMMS protects KPCs and hDFs from UVB irradiation, and reduces UVB-induced skin erythema and immune suppression. Therefore, SMMS can be used as a cosmetic raw material, and protect skin from UVB.</P>
The pivotal role of PDGF and its receptor isoforms in adipose-derived stem cells.
Kim, Won-Serk,Park, Hyung-Sook,Sung, Jong-Hyuk Gutenberg 2015 Histology and histopathology Vol.30 No.7
<P>Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the growth factors that reportedly regulates cell growth and division of mesenchymal cells. Although PDGF isoforms and their receptors reportedly play a pivotal role in mesenchymal stem cell regulation, there is a paucity of literature reviewing the role of PDGF in adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Therefore, we summarized previous reports on the expression and functional roles of PDGF and its receptor isoforms in this review. In addition, we examined findings pertaining to underlying molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways with special focus on PDGF-D/PDGFRβ. ASCs only express PDGF-A, -C, -D, PDGFRα, and PDGFRβ. PDGFRα expression decreases with adipocyte lineage, while PDGFRβ inhibits white adipocyte differentiation. In addition, PDGFRβ induces proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis and up-regulates the expression of paracrine factors in ASCs. Although PDGF-B and -D mediate their functions mainly by PDGFRβ and ROS generation, there are many differences between them in terms of regulating ASCs. PDGF-D is endogenous, generates ROS via the mitochondrial electron transport system, and regulates the autocrine loop of ASCs in vivo. Furthermore, PDGF-D has stronger mitogenic effects than PDGF-B.</P>
Protective role of adipose-derived stem cells and their soluble factors in photoaging.
Kim, Won-Serk,Park, Byung-Soon,Sung, Jong-Hyuk Springer-Verlag 2009 Archives of dermatological research Vol.301 No.5
<P>As individuals age, the skin undergoes changes, such as irregular pigmentation, thinning and loss of elasticity, that are due to both genetic and environmental factors. These changes may worsen, progressing to precancerous and cancerous diseases. Various medical treatments and topical cosmeceuticals have been used to treat some symptoms of photoaging, however, the results have been less than satisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cells within the stromal-vascular fraction of subcutaneous adipose tissue, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), display multi-lineage developmental plasticity and secrete various growth factors that control and manage the damaged neighboring cells. Recently, the production and secretion of growth factors has been reported as an essential function of ADSCs, and diverse regenerative effects of ADSCs have been demonstrated in the skin. For example, conditioned medium from ADSCs (ADSC-CM) stimulated both collagen synthesis and migration of dermal fibroblasts, which improved the wrinkling and accelerated wound healing in animal models. ADSC-CM also inhibited melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells, and protected dermal fibroblasts from oxidative stress induced by chemicals and UVB irradiation. Therefore, ADSCs and soluble factors show promise for the treatment of photoaging, and this review introduces recent research developments of the ADSCs and ADSC-derived secretory factors regarding this issue.</P>

<P>Hypoxia has diverse stimulatory effects on human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). In the present study, we investigated whether hypoxic culture conditions (2% O<SUB>2</SUB>) suppress spontaneous mineralization and osteogenic differentiation of ASCs. We also investigated signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in this process. We found that hypoxia suppressed spontaneous mineralization and osteogenic differentiation of ASCs, and up-regulated mRNA and protein expression of Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in ASCs. Although treatment with recombinant IGFBPs did not affect osteogenic differentiation of ASCs, siRNA-mediated inhibition of IGFBP3 attenuated hypoxia-suppressed osteogenic differentiation of ASCs. In contrast, overexpression of IGFBP3 via lentiviral vectors inhibited ASC osteogenic differentiation. These results indicate that hypoxia suppresses spontaneous mineralization and osteogenic differentiation of ASCs via intracellular IGFBP3 up-regulation. We determined that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation followed by activation of the MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways play pivotal roles in IGFBP3 expression under hypoxia. For example, ROS scavengers and inhibitors for MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways attenuated the hypoxia-induced IGFBP3 expression. Inhibition of Elk1 and NF-κB through siRNA transfection also led to down-regulation of IGFBP3 mRNA expression. We next addressed the proliferative potential of ASCs with overexpressed IGFBP3, but IGFBP3 overexpression reduced the proliferation of ASCs. In addition, hypoxia reduced the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived clonal mesenchymal stem cells. Collectively, our results indicate that hypoxia suppresses the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells via IGFBP3 up-regulation.</P>
