  • We investigated the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on mRNA expression of proalphal (l) collagen, proalphal (lll) collagen, matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1), 72 kDa type lV collagenase (MMP-2), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) by normal human dermal fibroblasts in a novel three-dimensional culture. Fibroblasts exposed to ROS generated by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system revealed an increased mRNAexpression of MMP-1 and MMP-2 with a maximum at48 h and 72h after exposure. A slight increase in the mRNA level of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) was observed.
