3.Description：N-Elaidoyl-KFK as well as KFK were shown to activate LAP-TGF-beta both in vitro, using a solid phase assay with immobilized LAP-TGF-beta, and ex vivo using human dermal fibroblasts cultures. In both assays, as much as up to 10% of LAP-TGF-beta added could be recovered as active form. KQK, KQFK as well as their lipopeptide counterparts were inactive. Elaidyl-KFK-mediated LAP-TGF-beta activation led to up-regulation of collagen and TIMP-1 production and down regulation of PMA-induced MMP-1 expression in fibroblasts cultures. Those effects could be suppressed by supplementing cell culture medium with blocking TGF-beta antibody. Elaidyl-KFK inhibited MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-3, MMP-1, in vitro with IC(50) equal to 1.2, 1.0, 0.24 and 8.9 microM, respectively. Its ex vivo inhibitory capacity, as assessed using skin tissue sections, towards the elastin-degrading capacity of MMP-9 was even more pronounced. At a 1 microM concentration, the lipopeptide decreased by up to 80% enzyme activity. Thus, "Lipospondin," i.e. elaidyl-KFK might be considered as a promising model compound to prevent age-associated dermal alterations.
