pubmed:abstractText
Dermal equivalents (DE), collagen lattices, were produced in vitro and used as a model for studying the possible role of a pure population of fibroblasts in post-radiotherapeutic dermal fibrosis. Single doses of gamma irradiation induced a partial inhibition of the collagen lattice retraction and of protein synthesis. The collagen production was less inhibited than was synthesis of non-collagen protein, which resulted in an increase of the relative amount of collagen synthesized by irradiated fibroblasts. These data suggest that gamma irradiation might be able to select some fibroblast clones able to produce increasing amounts of collagen. This selection process could be involved in the development of tissue fibrosis after therapeutic radiation.
