PG - 44-9 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been demonstrated to selectively decrease the production of type I and type III collagens in human dermal fibroblasts. The effects of the commonly used food antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), alpha-tocopherol, propyl gallate, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase on TNF-alpha-induced growth enhancement and collagen metabolism were evaluated in the present study. BHA at concentrations of both 5 x 10(-5) and 10(-4) M inhibited cell proliferation and DNA synthesis induced by 10 ng/ml TNF-alpha in human dermal fibroblasts, while other antioxidants had minimal effects. Further, BHA (5 x 10(-5) M and 10(-4) M) significantly blocked TNF-alpha-induced decreases in collagen synthesis. These results suggest that antioxidants such as BHA may be involved in the modulation of collagen synthesis by TNF-alpha in human dermal fibroblasts.
