Site-Specific Keloid Fibroblasts Alter the Behaviour of Normal Skin and Normal Scar Fibroblasts through Paracrine Signalling
Keloid disease (KD) is an abnormal cutaneous fibroproliferative disorder of unknown aetiopathogenesis. Keloid fibroblasts (KF) are implicated as mediators of elevated extracellular matrix deposition. Aberrant secretory behaviour by KF relative to normal skin fibroblasts (NF) may influence the disease state. To date, no previous reports exist on the ability of site-specific KF to induce fibrotic...
متن کاملEffects of TGF-beta and TGF-beta-neutralizing antibody on normal skin fibroblasts and scar-derived fibroblasts.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is known as an important cytokine for scar formation in wound healing. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of TGF-beta and its neutralizing antibody on normal skin fibroblasts and scar-derived fibroblasts in culture. Endogenous TGF-beta levels were similar in all fibroblasts. Cell proliferation increased when TGF-beta 1 or b...
متن کاملFibroblasts cocultured with keloid keratinocytes: normal fibroblasts secrete collagen in a keloidlike manner.
Keloid scars represent a pathological response to cutaneous injury, reflecting a new set point between synthesis and degradation biased toward extracellular matrix (ECM) collagen accumulation. Using a serum-free two-chamber coculture model, we recently demonstrated a significant increase in normal fibroblast proliferation when cocultured with keloid-derived keratinocytes. We hypothesized that s...
متن کاملCulture medium and cell density impact gene expression in normal skin and abnormal scar-derived fibroblasts.
Fibroblasts, the main cell type of the dermis, are responsible for production and remodeling of extracellular matrix during wound healing. Disruption of either production or degradation of extracellular matrix can lead to abnormal scarring, resulting in hypertrophic scar or keloid scar. Aberrations in proliferation and gene expression have been observed in fibroblasts isolated from abnormal sca...
متن کاملComparative proteomic analysis of extracellular matrix proteins secreted by hypertrophic scar with normal skin fibroblasts
The formation of hypertrophic scars (HSs) is a fibroproliferative disorder of abnormal wound healing. HSs usually characterize excessive proliferation of fibroblasts, abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) during wound healing, associated with cosmetic, functional, and psychological problems. Owing to the role of ECM proteins in scar formation, we comparatively analyzed matrix protei...
