Time course of differentiation of different cell types in 3D-reconstructed eccrine sweat glands

Abstract

Epidermal basal cells invaginate into the dermis to form sweat ducts, which then grow downwards further to form secretory coils during the ontogenesis of eccrine sweat glands, but the time course of differentiation of different cell types in 3D-reconstructed eccrine sweat glands remain unclear. In this study, secretory cell-specific marker K7, clear secretory cell-specific marker CA II, dark secretory cell-specific marker GCDFP-15, myoepithelial cell-specific marker α-SMA, inner duct cell-specific marker S100P and outer duct cell-specific marker S100A2 were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that S100P and S100A2 were first detected at 2 weeks post implantation, K7 and α-SMA at 3 weeks, and GCDFP-15 and CA II at 4 weeks. The differentiation of ducts preceded secretory coils in 3D-reconstructed eccrine sweat glands. After 8 weeks post implantation, the distribution of these markers in 3D-reconstructed eccrine sweat glands was similar to that in native ones, and the percentage of the 3D-reconstructed glands expressing these markers maintained steady. We conclude that although the 3D-reconstructed and native eccrine sweat glands originated from different cells, the differentiation of different cell types in 3D-reconstructed eccrine sweat glands parallels the sequence observed during embryonic development.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The lumen structure in EGOs is similar to the primary structure of sweat gland ducts in body development.

    “Therefore, we can infer that the lumen structure in our EGOs is similar to the primary structure of sweat gland ducts in body development.”
  • The 3D-reconstitution model by culturing Matrigel-embedded ESGCs in vitro or implanting them into the subcutis of nude mice simulates the development, morphology, and function of sweat glands in natural form.

    “A recent study used a 3D-reconstitution model by culturing Matrigel-embedded eccrine sweat gland cells (ESGCs) in vitro or by implanting them into the subcutis of nude mice and concluded that this model simulates the development, morphology, and function of sweat glands in natural form.[12–16]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
