The adequate reconstitution of human soft tissue wounds requires the coordinated interaction of endothelial cells and fibroblasts during the proliferation phase of healing. Endothelial cells assure neoangiogenesis, fibroblasts fill the defect and provide extracellular matrix proteins, and myofibroblasts are believed to support the reconstitution of microvessels. In the present study, we combined in vitro-wound size measurement and multicolour immunocytochemical staining of co-cultured human dermal microvascular endothelial cells and normal human dermal fibroblasts, recently introduced as co-culture scratch-wound migration assay. Applying antibodies for alpha-smooth-muscle actin, von Willebrand factor, extra domain A fibronectin and endothelin-1, we were able to monitor proliferation, migration and the differentiation process from fibroblasts to myofibroblasts as a response to hypoxia. Furthermore, we verified, whether transforming growth factor beta(1) (TGF beta(1)) and endothelin-1 are able to mediate this response. We show, that proliferation and migration of endothelial cells and fibroblasts decreased under hypoxia. The additional administration of TGF beta(1) did not significantly attenuate this decrease. Solely the myofibroblast population in co-culture adapted well to hypoxia, when cultures were supplemented with TGF beta(1). Considerating the data concerning TGF beta(1) and endothelin-1, we propose a model explaining the cellular interaction during early and late proliferation phase of human wound healing.
