title: Cyclosporin A reduces matrix metalloproteinases and collagen expression in dermal fibroblasts from regenerative FOXN1 deficient (nude) mice.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressive agent modifies the wound healing process through an influence on extracellular matrix metabolism. We have compared the effects of CsA on dermal fibroblasts from nude (FOXN1 deficient) mice, a genetic model of skin scarless healing, and from control (C57BL/6 J (B6) mice to evaluate metabolic pathways that appear to have important roles in the process of scarless healing/regeneration.
  
  
  RESULTS
  High levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and collagen III expression in dermal fibroblasts from nude (regenerative) mice were down-regulated by CsA treatment to the levels observed in dermal fibroblasts from B6 (non-regenerative) mice. In contrast, dermal fibroblasts from control mice respond to CsA treatment with a minor reduction of Mmps mRNA and 2.5-fold increase expression of collagen I mRNA. An in vitro migratory assay revealed that CsA treatment profoundly delayed the migratory behavior of dermal fibroblasts from both nude and control mice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The data suggest that by alternation of the accumulation of extracellular matrix components CsA treatment stimulates the transition from a scarless to a scar healing.
