Disease relevance of Keloid

 

High impact information on Keloid

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Keloid

  • The hydrocortisone-mediated increase in proline transport and the difference between keloid and normal fibroblasts are observed throughout the culture cycle and after depletion of amino acid pools [9].
  • Treatment of quiescent cultures with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) blocked a normally occurring (20-24 h) peak of serum-stimulated thymidine incorporation in normal and keloid cells [10].
  • Human tissues (keloid, small bowel, lung) were fixed in either Carnoy's fluid or neutral buffered formalin [11].
  • Similar results are obtained with the system A amino acid analogue 2-(methylamino)isobutyric acid, for which the uptake rate increases 87% and 329% in normal and keloid cells, respectively [9].
  • The stimulatory effect of the hormone is blocked by cycloheximide and actinomycin D in both keloid and normal cells [12].
 

Biological context of Keloid

 

Anatomical context of Keloid

 

Gene context of Keloid

  • Previous studies from our laboratory demonstrated an intrinsic higher level of HIF-1alpha and VEGF protein expression in keloid tissues compared with their adjacent unremarkable skins [18].
  • Smad3 signalling plays an important role in keloid pathogenesis via epithelial-mesenchymal interactions [22].
  • Compared to normal skin, keloids expressed high basal levels of TGFbetaR1 and TGFbetaR2, Smad2, 3 and 4 and phospho-Smad2 [22].
  • In contradistinction, keloid patients produce greater amounts of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IFN-beta [23].
  • The production of IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, and TNF-beta were markedly depressed in keloid patients compared to normal controls [23].
