The balance between proliferation and apoptosis of skin cells is responsible for skin turnover and the success of the wound healing process. Recent reports have shown that advanced glycosylation end product (AGE) formation participates in dermatologic problems in diabetes. However, the effect on proliferation and apoptosis of dermal fibroblasts remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dermal microenvironment glycosylation on the balance of cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Histology and immunohistochemical staining were performed on type II diabetic and nondiabetic skin tissue specimens to determine the distributions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, apoptotic cells, AGEs, and receptors for AGEs (RAGEs). Matrix secreted by cultured human fibroblasts was glycosylated by 0.5 M D-ribose. RAGE-blocking antibodies were applied to inhibit the interaction of RAGE and AGEs in this system and then cell viability, cell cycle phase distribution, and apoptosis were measured. Diabetic skin has degenerative, loosely arranged collagen and increased apoptotic cells compared with normal skin. Expression of AGE and RAGE in diabetic skin tissue increased. Glycosylated matrix induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of cultured dermal fibroblasts, whereas application of RAGE-blocking antibodies redressed these changes. The accumulation of glycosylated extracellular matrix in diabetic skin tissue is a critical mediator of cellular function. Mediation of RAGE affects the balance of cellular proliferation and apoptosis, which confirms that diabetic wounds possess atypical origin in the repair process.
