STUDY OF NITROGEN MUSTARD VESICANT INJURY IN BASAL KERATINOCYTES USING THE
SCRATCH WOUND MODEL
INTRODUCTION: MUSTARDS AS VESICANTS
• Vesicant chemical warfare agent – causes blisters to the eyes, skin, and mucosal membranes • Structure & analogs• Alkylating agent via the carbenium ion6
Sulfur mustard Nitrogen mustard 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES)
INTRODUCTION: MUSTARDS AS VESICANTS
• Blistering occurs in a delayed fashion – apoptotic death6
• Injury occurs because the epidermis basal keratinocytes detach from the basement membrane or dermal layer6
• Delayed reepithelialization2
INTRODUCTION: WOUND HEALING & LAMININ 332
• Basal keratinocytes are anchored to the basement membrane via hemidesmosomes7
• Anchoring molecule - holds cells via integrins to collagen fibers in the BM4,8
• Trimeric protein – previous studies on γ2 chain of the trimer1,2
THE SCRATCH WOUND ASSAY
• “Simple, reproducible assay commonly used to measure basic cell migration parameters such as speed, persistence, and polarity.”3
• Different approaches to analysis: change in length, area, track one particular cell
Make scratch in each well
Seed cells into plate
Take images at regular intervals
DataAnalysis
SCRATCH WOUND: PARAMETERS TESTED
• Initial seeding concentration – % confluency• What seeding number will lead to consistent results and will lead to a
nice monolayer after 24 hrs of growth?• Passage number• Does passage number have an effect on the migration rate of the cells?
• Human variation in seeding & scratching• If the same cells are seeded at the same density, does it matter who
seeds or scratches?
SEEDING CONCENTRATION/CONFLUENCY
• Wells were plated with 1.25x10⁵, 2.5x10⁵, 3.75x10⁵, & 5x10⁵ cells/mL• Wells with 3.75x10⁵ & 2.5x10⁵ saw significantly less variation in migration
rate than the higher seeded 5x10⁵ cells/mL concentration
• Wells plated with 2.5x10 ⁵ cells/mL did not result in a complete monolayer• Therefore, 3.75x10 ⁵ cells/mL was chosen as the ideal seeding conc.

PASSAGE NUMBER
• Compared PAM212 cells with a passage number of p5 & p23• Similar rate of migration
and amount of variation among samples• Average rates of migration
were similar (5.5 & 6.3%/hr) & not statistically significant when including the std. deviations

HYPOTHESIS: As dose increases, migration will decrease. Coated wells will decrease migration.

• Chose 9-hr time point because this was the longest time point prior to the wounds closing
• Overall, coated wells have slower closure rate
• 10 µM non-coated average changed the trend…
RESULTS
• Compared to the 1 µM data, there was a lot of variation present resulting in a large std deviation• Effect of scratch size• 3.4% deviation vs. 38.5%!
• Redoing the results with the two wells with similar sizes resulted in…

DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS
• Preliminary study• Validated assay – confluency & similar scratch sizes are critical• Increasing dose of NM resulted in increased migration rate –
implications, what does this mean?• The coated wells resulted in a decreased migration rate – this
may better represent how the tissue acts in vivo
FUTURE EXPERIMENTS
• Perform experiment with higher doses of NM• Add different parts of the laminin trimer to the media to see if
they result in faster migration• Coat plate with other EM proteins: fibronectin, collagen, etc. • Develop assay to be high throughput & efficient – 96-well
plates (triplicate resulted in large std devs)
