With RISH, rapid in situ hybridization, a chromogenic ISH technology, the proprietary DNA probe technology ensures high specificity and accuracy for the mRNA target in a simple two-hour, five-step procedure.
The results of a dose-response experiment showed that keratinocyte-conditioned medium (KCM) stimulates the expression of collagenase mRNA by dermal fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent fashion.
Therefore, we studied the involvement of iron and ROS in the modulation of Jun N-terminal kinase 2 (JNK2) activity, c-jun and c-fos mRNA levels, key signaling steps in the transcriptional control of matrix-degrading metalloprotease (MMP)-1/interstitial collagenase and MMP-3/stromelysin-1 after UVB irradiation of human dermal fibroblasts in vitro.
