Purpose:
This is an in-vitro experimental study to analyze the effect of Exo-HUVEC on endothelial cell (CD31), cell proliferation, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) and collagen type 1 on irradiated fibroblast with UVB as photo-aging model.
Patients And Methods:
Fibroblast cultures were divided into 5 groups, namely without UVB exposure, UVB exposure 600mJ/cm2 for 80 seconds as photo-aging model, and UVB exposure +Exo-HUVEC exposure 0.1%, 0.5% and 1%. The endothelial cell was stained with a CD31 marker, MMP-1 were examined with ELISA, cell proliferation is detected using an MTT assay; meanwhile, collagen type 1 deposition and endothelial cell were measured using flowcytometry.
Results:
This study found positive endothelial cell marker CD31. Significant difference was found in cell proliferation, MMP-1 and collagen type 1 level between the control group with UVB irradiation and the treatment group with Exo-HUVEC (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Exo-HUVEC significantly increases cell proliferation and collagen type 1 level, while decrease MMP-1 levels on irradiated fibroblast; therefore, Exo-HUVEC ameliorate the photo-aging of skin fibroblast.
