MMP-28 Epilysin Secreted Discovered in 2001, given its name due to have been discovered in human keratinocytes. Highly expressed in lung, placenta, salivary glands, heart, uterus, skin... 

Type I IFNs form a superfamily of innate cytokines that comprise IFN-a (alpha), with 13 human subtypes, IFN-p (beta), IFN-co (omega), IFN-x (tau), IFN-k (kappa), IFN-e (epsilon), IFN-A, (lambda), and IFN- (zeta) (Pestka et al. 2004). Only IFN-a, IFN-p, IFN-cd, IFN-k, and IFN-e are expressed in humans. All IFN-a subtypes are secreted by leukocytes, whereas IFN-p is also produced by fibroblasts. IFN-x is exclusively expressed in ruminants at a specific stage of pregnancy (Martal et al. 1998), whereas IFN-k is expressed by human keratinocytes (LaFleur et al. 2001).

MWNTs were found to be cytotoxic in human skin fibroblasts (HSF42) and human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK) [42-44], whereas SWNTs were toxic in human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cultures [25, 26, 45]. Reduced cell proliferation and oxidative stress were reported also in epithelial (HeLa) cells [45] and murine epidermal cells (JB6 P + ) [46] upon incubation with SWNTs.

In 1986, the antioxidant effects of thioredoxin reductase were studied by Schallreuter et al. [81]. It has been shown that thioredoxin reductase was contained in the plasma membrane surface of human keratinocytes where it provided skin protection against free radical mediated damage. Later on, the reductive activity of Trx/thioredoxin reductase system has been shown for the reduction of ascorbyl radical to ascorbate [82], the redox regulation of NFkB factor [83], and in the regulation of nitric oxide-nitric oxide synthase activities [84,85],...

Several cell lines were used to inveshgate the role of PS oxidahon in apoptosis. Preferenhal oxidahon of PS was observed in human leukemia HL-60 cells (Fabisiak et al, 1998, 2000 Kawai et al, 2000), and normal human keratinocytes (Shvedova et al, 2001). Similarly, in pheochromocytoma PC 12 cells exposed to a radical-generating anhneoplashc dmg, neocarzinostatin, extemalizahon of PS was potentiated by its selechve oxidation in whole cells (Schor et al, 1999). In contrast, this selechve PS oxidahon did not occur in liposomes prepared from mixtures of PnA-labeled phospholipids extracted from the ceUs and exposed to oxidants imder the same conditions (Fabisiak et al, 1998 Kagan et al, 2000 Shvedova et al,...
