A potential role of SDF-1/CXCR4 chemotactic pathway in wound healing and hypertrophic scar formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibroproliferative disorders are an ongoing clinical issue that is prevalent within society today. These disorders generally manifest themselves by an overproduction of fibrotic tissue with unknown provocation resulting in numerous detrimental defects. Cellular migration of blood-borne cells via the chemotactic pathway, consisting of stromal cell-derived factor 1 and its receptor, CXCR4, has been strongly implicated in post-burn hypertrophic scar formation. Evidence has shown this pathway has potential as a therapeutic target in the formation of hypertrophic scar and likely in other fibroproliferative disorders.

Simvastatin combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) improve burn wound healing by ameliorating angiogenesis through SDF-1α/CXCR4 pathway
Objective(s): Chemokines are wound mediators that promote angiogenesis during wound healing. We hypothesized that Simvastatin in combination with the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) improve burn wound healing by ameliorating angiogenesis via SDF-1α/CXCR4 pathway.Materials and Methods: Under general anesthesia, deep partial-...
متن کاملNew insights into the prevention and treatment strategies for hypertrophic scars and keloids
Hypertrophic scars and keloids are fibrosis abnormalities associated with the accumulation of collagen and extra cellular matrix components. These scars are caused by abnormal wound healing, which may occur after skin injuries caused by surgery, trauma, burns, etc. and may have a large impact on the patients’ quality of life. Hypertrophic scars and colloids in addition to aesthetic problems can...
متن کاملBMP-7 suppresses excessive scar formation by activating the BMP-7/Smad1/5/8 signaling pathway
Scarring is the inevitable consequence of wound repair, which may cause significant physical and mental pain to patients when excessive. Bone morphogenetic protein‑7 (BMP‑7) has been proved to inhibit TGF‑β‑induced fibrosis in various tissues including dermal papilla cells. However, the effect of BMP‑7 on hypertrophic scarring, a common proliferative disorder of dermal fibroblasts, has not been...
متن کاملPotential cellular and molecular causes of hypertrophic scar formation.
A scar is an expected result of wound healing. However, in some individuals, and particularly in burn victims, the wound healing processes may lead to a fibrotic hypertrophic scar, which is raised, red, inflexible and responsible for serious functional and cosmetic problems. It seems that a wide array of subsequent processes are involved in hypertrophic scar formation, like an affected haemosta...
متن کاملThe Four-Herb Chinese Medicine ANBP Enhances Wound Healing and Inhibits Scar Formation via Bidirectional Regulation of Transformation Growth Factor Pathway
The four-herb Chinese medicine ANBP is a pulverized mixture of four herbs including Agrimonia Eupatoria (A), Nelumbo Nucifera Gaertn (N), Boswellia Carteri (B) and Pollen Typhae Angustifoliae (P). The combination of the four herbs was first described in Chinese canonical medicine about 2000 years ago for treatment of various trauma disorders, such as hemostasis, antiinflammatory, analgesia, and...
