- Abstract:
- Ex vivo human skin models are valuable tools in skin research due to their physiological relevance. Traditionally, standard cultivation is performed in a cell culture incubator with a defined temperature of 37 °C and a specific atmosphere enriched with CO2 to ensure media stability. Maintaining the model under these specific conditions limits its flexibility in assessing exposures to which the skin is exposed to in daily life, for example changes in atmospheric compositions. In this study we demonstrated that the foreskin-derived skin model can be successfully cultured at room temperature outside a CO2 incubator using a CO2-independent, serum-free media. Over a cultivation period of three days, the integrity of the tissue and the preservation of immune cells is well maintained, indicating the model's stability and resilience under the given conditions. Exposing our Medical University of Graz - human Organotypic Skin Explant Culture (MUG-hOSEC) model to cytotoxic and inflammatory stimuli results in responses analyzable within the supernatant. Besides the common analysis of released proteins upon treatment, such as cytokines and enzymes, we have included extracellular vesicle to obtain a more comprehensive picture of cell communication.
