Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) promotes the contractile ability of fibroblasts, essential for wound closure and reconstitution of the dermis. Wound healing is impaired in type 2 diabetic patients (D). We compared the effect of ET-1 on proliferative transforming growth factor (TGFbeta(1)) expression, fibronectin and laminin release), differentiative [alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) expression] and inflammatory [monocyte chemo-attractant protein (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression] responses in skin fibroblasts of healthy subjects (C) and D, testing the relative role of ET(A) and ET(B) receptors in mediating these responses. ET-1 did not influence TGFbeta(1), fibronectin or laminin production. alpha-SMA was more abundant and more stimulated in D, as well as MCP-1 and IL-6 expression and release. These effects were prevented by BMS-182874, selective antagonist of ET(A), more abundant than ET(B) in both cell strains and whose expression rose more in D than C upon stimulation with ET-1. This peculiar pattern of responses to ET-1, presumably acquired during the chronic in vivo exposure to hyperglycemia along the natural history of the disease, may partially explain the increased susceptibility of D to chronic ulcerationsKeywords
