Comparative effects of four surfactants on growth, contraction and adhesion of cultured human fibroblasts

Abstract: A range of surfactants, including the anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate, the cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and the non-ionics octylphenoxy polyethoxyethanol (Triton X100) and polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monoleate (Tween 80) was studied for effects on proliferation, contractibility and attachment of cultured human fibroblasts. Only ionic surfactants exhibited a stimulatory effect on fibroblast proliferation, whereas all the surfactants tested increased the contraction of collagen gels containing fibrobla… Show more

“…It should be noted that the phase and fluorescence images of the wells were captured by an automated microscope (Keyence, USA), and the number of cells was counted by the Keyence counting program. For further chemical fixation methods ( Benoit et al., 1988 ), live imaging dyes ( Lulevich et al., 2009 ) were not used thus avoiding significant effects on viable cell adhesion.…”

“…Triton X-100 (TX100) is one of the most widely used nonionic surfactants for lysing cells to extract protein and other cellular organelles or to permeabilize the living cell membrane for transfection (1)(2)(3). However, if large amounts are added or the cells are subject to prolonged exposure to TX100, the cells die (4)(5)(6)(7). This toxicity of TX100 molecules arises because of the disrupting action of its polar head group on the hydrogen bonding present within the cell's lipid bilayer, leading to the destruction of the compactness and integrity of the lipid membrane.…”

“…Moreover, cholesterol or similar molecule-rich membrane domains are reported to be more tolerant toward detergents such as TX100 molecules in comparison to other parts of the lipid bilayer. (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…The same results have been confirmed for all four compounds tested in this study, both in the case of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The stimulating effect of low SLS concentrations (below 0.06 mg/mL) on the growth of fibroblasts was also confirmed by Benoit et al who pointed to the concentration-dependent cytotoxic effect of this agent [46]. High SLS toxicity to keratinocytes has been demonstrated by Bigliardi et al who showed toxic effects on keratinocytes above 3 µg/mg and a proproliferative effect at low concentrations of this anionic surfactant [47].…”
