摘要：We previously showed that high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment at 200 MPa for 10 min induced complete cell death in skin and skin tumors via necrosis. We used this technique to treat a giant congenital melanocytic nevus and reused the inactivated nevus tissue as a dermis autograft. However, skin inactivated by HHP promoted inflammation in a preclinical study using a porcine model. Therefore, in the present study, we explored the pressurization conditions that induce apoptosis of the skin, as apoptotic cells are not believed to promote inflammation, so the engraftment of inactivated skin should be improved. Using a human dermal fibroblast cell line in suspension culture, we found that HHP at 50 MPa for ≥ 36 h completely induced fibroblast cell death via apoptosis based on the morphological changes in transmission electron microscopy, reactive oxygen species elevation, caspase activation and phosphatidylserine membrane translocation. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling and cleaved caspase-3 showed most cells in the skin inactivated by pressurization to be apoptotic. Consequently, in vivo grafting of apoptosis-induced inactivated skin resulted in successful engraftment and greater dermal cellular density and macrophage infiltration than our existing method. Our finding supports an alternative approach to hydrostatic pressure application.
