Tissue homeostasis in skin is regulated by epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, mostly operating via diffusible factors. To study the underlying regulatory mechanisms, in vitro systems have been established to mimic the in vivo situation in skin, In co-cultures, keratinocytes grow either adjacent to irradiated fibroblasts on plastic or on top of collagen gels containing fibroblasts, thus forming 3-dimensional organotypic structures, Keratinocyte growth is supported in part by fibroblast-produced factors induced by keratinocyte mediators such as interleukin-1 (IL-1). To better understand this cellular interaction and its modulation by fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM), we examined the effect of IL-1 on growth factor expression in proliferating and growth-arrested x-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts on plastic and in resting cells embedded in collagen gels, By semiquantitative reverse transcriptase PCR, we demonstrated that IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta stimulated the expression of KGF, HGF, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-1RI, and IL-8 in fibroblasts regardless of their physiologic condition, whereas that of TGF-beta remained unaffected. The constitutive mRNA levels were usually lower in irradiated postmitotic and ECM-embedded cells than in proliferating fibroblasts. Cells responded to stimulation with IL-1 under all three culture conditions, although to different degrees depending on the growth factor, As demonstrated for HGF, IL-8, and IL-1 beta, the IL-1 alpha-induced mRNA expression was followed by production and secretion of protein in irradiated fibroblasts. Thus, our findings show that resting and growth-inhibited fibroblasts, reflecting more closely the situation in dermis, exhibit lower constitutive growth factor expression levels but characteristically respond to IL-1 stimulation.
