The basement membrane zone (BMZ) is a complex region in which the interstitial collagens of the dermis and the proteins of the dermal-epidermal interface form an elaborate network of structural macromolecules. Remodeling of the BMZ is required in morphogenesis, wound healing and tumor invasion. Because of the structural importance of the interstitial collagens (types I and 111) and their close association in the papillary dermis with basement membrane collagens, especially type VII collagencontaining anchoring fibrils and anchoring plaques,'cleavage of the interstitial collagens in that location may destabilize the entire zone, as in tumor invasion" and some forms of epidermolysis bullosa.'Epithelial modulation of stromal elements may play an important role in this process. One possible explanation for the events which occur during morphogenesis and wound repair is that factors released by the epithelium modulate collagenase and/or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases (TIMP) expression by subadjacent fibroblasts. For example, cytokines found in rabbit corneal epithelium stimulate collagenase synthesis by stromal cells6 through mechanisms involving the presence of increased translatable collagenase mRNA.'Furthermore, in human basal cell carcinomas (BCC), collagenase is localized to the stroma rather than to the tumor islands: suggesting that the tumor epithelium elaborates one or more cytokines which stimulate collagenase expression in surrounding skin To explore this putative mechanism we employed both keratinocytes cultured from normal human epidermis and extracted basal cell carcinoma epithelium.
