Most chronic wounds are characterized by varying degrees of hypoxia and low partial pressures of O that may favor the development of the wound and/or delay healing. However, most studies regarding extracellular matrix remodeling in wound healing are conducted under normoxic conditions. Here, we investigated the consequences of hypoxia on elastic network formation, both in a mouse model of pressure-induced hypoxic ulcer and in human primary fibroblasts cultured under hypoxic conditions. In vitro, hypoxia inhibited elastic fiber synthesis with a reduction in fibrillin-2 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. Lysyl oxidase maturation was reduced, concomitant with lower enzymatic activity. Fibrillin-2 and lysyl oxidase could interact directly, whereas the downregulation of fibrillin-2 was associated with deficient lysyl oxidase maturation. Elastic fibers were not synthesized in the hypoxic inflammatory tissues resulting from in vivo pressure-induced ulcer. Tropoelastin and fibrillin-2 were expressed sparsely in hypoxic tissues stained with carbonic anhydrase IX. Different hypoxic conditions in culture resulted in the arrest of elastic fiber synthesis. The present study demonstrated the involvement of FBN2 in regulating elastin deposition in adult skin models and described the specific impact of hypoxia on the elastin network without consequences on collagen and fibronectin networks.
大多数慢性创伤的特点是不同程度的缺氧和低氧分压,这可能有利于创伤的发展和/或延迟愈合。然而,大多数关于创伤愈合中细胞外基质重塑的研究都是在常氧条件下进行的。在这里,我们研究了缺氧对弹性网络形成的影响,包括在压力诱导的缺氧性溃疡的小鼠模型中和在缺氧条件下培养的人原代成纤维细胞中。在体外,缺氧抑制弹性纤维合成,mRNA 和蛋白水平的纤连蛋白-2表达减少。赖氨酰氧化酶成熟减少,同时酶活性降低。纤连蛋白-2和赖氨酰氧化酶可以直接相互作用,而纤连蛋白-2的下调与赖氨酰氧化酶成熟不足有关。体内压力诱导性溃疡导致的缺氧性炎症组织中未合成弹性纤维。碳酸酐酶 IX 染色的缺氧组织中稀疏表达原弹性蛋白和纤连蛋白-2。培养中不同的缺氧条件导致弹性纤维合成停滞。本研究证明了 FBN2 参与调节成体皮肤模型中的弹性蛋白沉积,并描述了缺氧对弹性网络的特定影响,而对胶原蛋白和纤维连接蛋白网络没有影响。
