    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Cutaneous metastases from a leiomyosarcoma of the testicular tunica albuginea are very rare. Primary leiomyosarcomas in this site are uncommen and furthermore cutaneous metastases develop only in 1,4% of all malignant tumors of the internal organs [10]. A 71 year old patient with such a sarcoma underwent primary excision. Nine months later multiple, firm, nodules were identified as cutaneous metastases. Further staging revealed already extensive, diffuse pulmonary and bony metastases without contiguous or regional lymph node involvement.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Kutane Metastasen eines Leiomyosarkoms der Hodenhüllen sind sehr selten. Das ist einerseits darin begründet, dass primäre Leiomyosarkome der Hodenhüllen ebenfalls eine ausgesprochene Rarität darstellen und andererseits Hautmetastasen von malignen Tumoren innerer Organe nur bei ungefähr 1,4% der Fälle zu erwarten sind [10]. Es wird über einen 71jährigen Patienten mit einem linksseitigen Hodentumor berichtet, der nach Exzision als Leiomyosarkom der Hodenhüllen klassifiziert wurde. Neun Monate später traten multiple, derbe kutane Knoten am Kopf sowie Brustbereich auf. Die histopathologische Untersuchung der Knoten ergab die Diagnose von kutanen Filiae eines Leiomyosarkoms. Die weitere Durchuntersuchung zeigte eine bereits fortgeschrittene, diffuse, pulmonale und ossäre Metastasierung unter Aussparung regionärer und nachgeschalteter Lymphknotenstationen.

    Notes: Abstract UVA irradiation leads to photoaging including clinical features such as wrinkle formation, reduced recoil capacity and blister formation of the skin. Besides synthesis of the extracellular matrix, its regulated degradation by various matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) determines the amount and the composition of the extracellular matrix within the dermis and the basement membrane of the dermo-epidermal junction. In this study we therefore ascertained whether UV irradiation could modulate the synthesis of MMPs with substrate specifities for dermal (collagen I, III, V) and basement membrane compounds (collagen IV, VII, proteoglycans, laminin) and whether synthesis of the counteracting tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-I) was also affected. Following UVA irradiation specific mRNAs of MMPs 1, 2 and 3 were induced concomitantly up to 5-fold compared to mock irradiated controls. In contrast, TIMP-1 mRNA levels remained unaltered. Immunoprecipitation indicated that after UVA irradiation synthesis and secretion of MMPs 1, 2 and 3 into the supernatant increased. Taken together, our data show that UVA irradiation coordinately induced MMPs 1, 2 and 3 implying similar mechanisms in their regulatory pathways, while TIMP-I synthesis was not altered. Hence, unbalanced synthesis of MMPs potentially contributes to the dissolution of dermal and basement membrane compounds finally leading to blister formation and cutaneous photoaging.

    Notes: Abstract Directed migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts is a fundamental prerequisite in wound healing. Cation-dependent affinity changes of integrins are responsible for cell adhesion to and deadhesion from extracellular matrix proteins and have been implicated in driving cell migration. The specific requirements for divalent cations in the integrin-dependent migration of human dermal fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes to various extracellular matrix proteins have been studied in vitro using blindwell Boyden chambers. The migration of the tested cells to collagen type I was mediated by the α2β2 integrins, to fibronectin by the combined action of the α3β2 and the α5β1 integrin, and the migration of fibroblasts to laminin dependent both on the α2β1 and the α6β1 integrins. No migration of keratinocytes to laminin was detected. Mg2+ alone induced cell migration with an optimum at 2 mM for fibroblasts and at 10 mM for keratinocytes. Ca2+ alone at 2 mM only marginally enhanced fibroblast and keratinocyte migration. At higher concentrations Ca2+ suppressed the stimulatory Mg2+ effect. 2 mM Ca2+ combined with 2 mM Mg2+ showed an additive stimulatory effect on the migration of fibroblasts to fibronectin. These data suggest that extracellular divalent cations differentially influence the integrin-mediated cell migration. A concentration gradient of Mg2+/Ca2+, as reported in tissue injury, thus may play a regulatory role in cell migration required for tissue remodelling.

    Notes: Venous leg ulcers are common and cause considerable morbidity in the population. As healing may be slow or may never be achieved, ulcers create persistent and substantial demands on clinical resources. Great efforts have been made to accelerate tissue repair in chronic venous leg ulcers with limited success. This may at least be partly due to the limited knowledge on the microenvironment of chronic wounds. In fact, the tremendous impact of the microenvironmental conditions on the outcome of wound healing has increasingly become apparent. Oxidative stress as a consequence of an imbalance in the prooxidant-antioxidant homeostasis in chronic wounds is thought to drive a deleterious sequence of events finally resulting in the nonhealing state. The majority of reactive oxygen species are most likely released by neutrophils and macrophages and to an unknown extent from resident fibroblasts and endothelial cells. As the inflammatory phase does not resolve in chronic wounds, the load of reactive oxygen species persists over a long period of time with subsequent continuous damage and perpetuation of the inflammation. In this article, we will critically discuss recent findings that support the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of nonhealing chronic venous leg ulcers.

    Notes: Cellular responses to platelet-derived growth factor, which affects all phases of the wound healing process, are dependent on the interaction of the growth factor with its cell surface receptors. Recently, we have shown that the platelet-derived growth factor-receptor was not expressed in uninjured human skin. In acute human wounds healing by secondary intention, both platelet-derived growth factor-receptor subunits were coordinately expressed, whereas no expression was found after reepithelialization at day 47. Even though impaired wound healing may be due to uncoordinated expression or the failure to express platelet-derived growth factor-receptor subunits, little is known regarding their expression in chronic ulcers. We studied the localization of platelet-derived growth factor-receptor expression in chronic venous leg ulcers of 15 patients with a median age of 73 years. Cryostat sections of biopsy specimens were immunostained with the use of antibodies against the α- and the β-platelet-derived growth factor subunits. RNA was extracted from biopsy specimens and subjected to Northern blot analysis with the use of oligolabeled complementary DNA for the platelet-derived growth factor-receptor. Platelet-derived growth factor-receptor α- and β-subunit expression was found in fibroblast-like cells within the wound bed and in cells beneath the epidermis of the wound edge. Platelet-derived growth factor-receptor β-subunit expression was detected in endothelial cells of the vessels, in the granulation tissue, and the wound edge, whereas platelet-derived growth factor-receptor α-subunit was not expressed in endothelial cells of the uninjured skin. This finding suggests that the platelet-derived growth factor α-subunit may be involved in vessel formation during tissue repair. Both platelet-derived growth factor-receptor subunits were expressed at the messenger RNA level indicating that the synthesis is at least partly regulated at a pretranslational level. As the cellular responsiveness to growth factors depends on their specific receptors, our finding that both platelet-derived growth factor-receptor subunits are expressed in chronic venous ulcers substantiates the concept of therapeutic trials with recombinant platelet-derived growth factor.
