Transepithelial transport of sodium and chloride ions in isolated skin of the frog, Rana esculenta

100%

Kosik-Bogacka D. I. , Tyrakowski T.

tom 50

nr 3-4

107-114

Isolated frog skin, mounted in a Ussing apparatus, was investigated electrophysiologically. Application of amiloride, an inhibitor of sodium ion transport, and bumetanide, known to block the transport of chloride ions, revealed the effect of these ions on PD, both under control conditions and following mechanical stimulation. Under control conditions, mechanical stimulation of the skin caused hyperpolarization, i.e. a transient increase in the electrical potential difference. Preincubation in the presence of amiloride, or amiloride plus bumetanide, brought about both a decrease in electrical potential and an inhibition of the reaction upon stimulation. On the other hand, incubation with bumetanide resulted in a decrease in electrical potential, but did not affect the skin reaction after mechanical stimulation. The above results indicate that hyperpolarization of the frog skin following mechanical stimulation is caused by enhanced transepithelial transport of sodium ions which, in turn, is induced by stimulation of sensory receptors.

Effect of bromocriptine on the larval skin of the green toad, Bufo viridis viridis Leurenti

100%

Al-Adhami M. A. , Qar J.

nr 1-2

41-46

In the premetamorphic larval green toad, B. viridis viridis, as in other anurans, the skin is made up of a fibrous dermis and an epidermis of stratified epithelium. The effects of bromocriptine, an antiprolactin drug, on the premetamorphic skin of B. viridis viridis was examined. Bromocriptine, dissolved in rearing water at four different concentrations, induced a number of changes in the skin of treated tadpoles. In rough sequence of appearance, these changes include: retraction of the melanocyte dendrites, synchronous burst of the apical vesicles of the superficial epithelial cells, gradual disappearance of the melanosomes from the epithelial cells and widening of the intercellular spaces. In addition, macrophages appeared in the superficial dermis amongst the retracted melanocytes. White crystals were observed on the skin surface and similar crystals were ingested by the macrophages. Prolonged treatment with bromocriptine resulted in hypertrophy and extraction of some epidermal cells. Deep melanocytes of the mesenteries were not affected by bromocriptine- treatment indicating that the drug did not penetrate deep into the tadpole tissue. Whether the macrophages observed in the dermis were recruited from deeper tissues or were converted melanocytes is another issue in need of study.

Objective: Epithelial wound repair assures the recovery of the epithelial barrier after wounding. During wound healing epithelial cells migrate to cover the wound surface. For healing of skin wounds the skin keratinocytes can be replaced by oral mucosa epithelial cells grown in vitro. The presented experiments were carried out in order to compare the proliferation, morphology, and migration between human keratinocytes isolated from human skin and oral mucosa. Materials and methods: Human epidermal and oral mucosa keratinocytes from primary culture were used in all experiments. Cell motility and shape were determined using computer-aided methods. Results and conclusions: It was demonstrated that although both cell types exhibit the same typical epithelial morphology, oral mucosa keratinocytes locomote significantly faster than skin keratinocytes. They also differ in proliferation activity. Oral mucosa keratinocytes exhibited faster growth and different actin cytoskeleton organisation than skin keratinocytes under in vitro conditions. Autologous oral mucosa keratinocytes may be expanded in vitro and used for skin wound healing in vivo.
