| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify a specific function of each factor in epidermis, using a siRNA(small interfering RNA) transgenic mouse which defects four kinds of EGF family growth factor (TGF-alpha, HB-EGF, amphiregulin, epiregulin) having the most important work in the epidermis. Several kinds determined a candidate siRNA arrangement (19 sequence) using software for siRNA choice and we composed siRNA by in vitro transcription and, using siRNA construction kit, refined it in a column. Transfection did candidate siRNA to keratinocyte to be next and reviewed mRNA manifestation and determined a best siRNA arrangement. We reviewed manifestation of each mRNA in EGF stimulation by real time PCR, RNase protection assay. We tried to generate each siRNA transgenic mice, however we could not get in the research periods. Therefore, using keratinocyte specific knockout mouse of HB-EGF, we analyzed a function of HB-EGF in a skin healing of wound process. Migration of keratinocyte was inhibited when we used neutralizing antibody of HB-EGF with the in vitro wound healing model whereas HB-EGF addition promoted wound healing. In addition, the mRNA of HB-EGF was induced immediately and conspicuously among EGF families by scraping. Finally we performed wound healing assay using keratinocyte-specific HB-EGF knockout mice. A delay of healing of wound was accepted in HB-EGF knockout mouse. We conclude that HB-EGF plays an important role in skin wound healing.
