| Abstract | Keratin 19 is considered to be a marker for skin stem cells that assume a particular subpopulation of these cells in the keratinocyte population. It is also known that keratinocytes have a natural affinity for extracellular matrix proteins. The aim of this work was to identify subpopulations of keratinocytes by cultivation on various substrates (type-I collagen, laminin 2/4 and fibronectin) and by measuring keratin 19/actin ratio (G/R). The areas of cell projection on a substrate, perimeter, the spreading coefficient, and G/R have been assayed. Keratinocyte populations were morphologically homogeneous both on fibronectin and laminin 2/4. Large cells comprised 12 and 20% of the populations, respectively. No correlation between morphological parameters of cells and keratin 19/actin ratio was found in keratinocytes cultivated in fibronectin. The cells grown on collagen behaved as a heterogenous population with large cells comprising more than 50% of the population. On average, the size of the cells grown on collagen was twice as large as the cells cultivated on fibronectin. On the other hand, the correlation between cell size and G/R was revealed in cells grown on both collagen and laminin 2/4. The cells with lower G/R values display a larger size and higher spreading. We assume that this correlation is determined by the presence of α1 and α2 integrin subunits in these cells. Keratin 19 assay did not reveal keratinocyte subpopulations. Our results raised doubts regarding the presence of stem cells in cultures of humanskin keratinocytes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
