Growth factor responsiveness declines during adulthood for human skin-derived cells.

Abstract：

:Keratinocytes and fibroblasts were obtained from upper arm biopsies of young (22-27 years) and old (60-82 years) adult donors. Keratinocytes were grown in serum-free medium containing variable quantities of either epidermal growth factor (EGF) or a bovine hypothalamic extract known to contain keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). Fibroblasts were grown in serum-free medium containing variable quantities of EGF or insulin. Paired keratinocyte cultures were plated in serum-free medium containing 20% newborn keratinocyte-conditioned medium (NM) or 20% control conditioned medium (CM). Newborn foreskin keratinocytes were plated in 20% conditioned media derived from newborn, young adult or old adult keratinocyte cultures. In spite of large inter-donor variability, keratinocyte growth significantly decreased with age (0.05 greater than P greater than 0.01). Cell yield at 7 days showed an 8-fold increase for young adults over the KGF dose range treated, but only a 4-fold increase for old adults. Young adult cells in varying concentrations of EGF achieved 3-fold to 5-fold higher densities than old, although EGF was not stimulatory for either adult age group. Donor age-associated loss of growth factor responsiveness was confirmed with dermal fibroblasts derived from the same biopsies. Newborn but not adult keratinocytes were stimulated by NM, while newborn cells were not stimulated by either young or old adult conditioned media (YM or OM). An epidermal proliferation index, incorporating both donor cell yield and cell yield of newborn cells in donor conditioned medium, was significantly different (P less than 0.01) for newborn vs. young or old adult cells. Our findings confirm that a decreased proliferative capacity is measurable within adulthood, and suggest that this decrease may be due to a reduced ability to synthesize or respond to mitogens, including autocrine factors.
