Figure 1. Effects of ECMs on gelatinases secretion in odontogenic keratocyst fibroblasts. Gelatin zymography of culture media. Fibroblasts were cultured on plastic plates (lanes 1 and 2), or 30 µg/cm2 fibronectin (lanes 3 and 4)-, 30 µg/cm2 laminin (lanes 5 and 6)-, or 30 µg/cm2 type I collagen (lanes 7, 8, and 9)-coated dishes in serum-free DMEM for 48 hrs at 37°C in the presence (lanes 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9) or absence (lanes 1, 3, 5, and 7) of 1 nM rhIL-1 . Anti-hIL-1 antibody (Anti-IL-1 ) was added to the culture media prior to incubation with rhIL-1 (lane 9). The culture media (30 µL) were subjected to gelatin zymography. Similar results were seen in four independent experiments.

Figure 3. Effects of fibroblasts on proMMP-2 activation. Fibroblasts were cultured on 30 µg/cm2 type I collagen-coated dishes in serum-free DMEM for 48 hrs at 37°C. Then, the collected culture media were incubated with (lanes 1 and 2) or without (lane 3) the fibroblasts cultured on type I collagen-coated dishes for 18 hrs at 37°C in the absence (lane 1) or presence (lanes 2 and 3) of 1 nM rhIL-1 . The culture media (30 µL) were subjected to gelatin zymography. Similar results were seen in four independent experiments.
