SummaryBackgroundIt is well established that the alterations of dermal matrix contributes to skin aging characterized by wrinkles. On the other hand, physiological NO is useful to maintain skin homeostasis such as a vasodilatation. However, a role of NO on production of dermal matrix has been clarified.ObjectiveIn this study, we have attempted to analyze the role of NO on type I collagen synthesis of normal human dermal fibroblasts including expression of procollagen αI S(1) mRNA/protein and heat shock protein 47 (HSP47).MethodsThe effects of NO which was generated by two types of NO donors, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), on type I collagen and HSP47 and their related mRNA expression were examined with ELISA and RT-PCR.ResultsNO was significantly accelerated the production of type I collagen by fibroblasts corresponding with up-regulation of procollagen αI (1) mRNA. Furthermore, NO increased both levels of HSP47 protein and mRNA in fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner.ConclusionsThese results suggest that NO has dual effects on collagen synthesis by fibroblasts as follows; one is the direct stimulation of collagen synthesis due to the up-regulation of procollagen αI(1) mRNA, and the other is an indirect effect through the increase of HSP47 mRNA expression. This is the first report that exogenous NO stimulates HSP47 production by dermal fibroblasts.
