While the two keloid and palmar pairs differed in absolute α-SMA levels, the difference between paired keloid and palmar samples was statistically significant (p = 0.05) (not shown, please, see also additional file 4: Additional data #4.ppt).
FACS analysis demonstrated that these cells were all apoptotic (not shown, see also [ 36 ] ). Although TGFβ1 acted anti-apoptotically in PP cultures (palmar and normal plantar fibroblasts) and prevented the shedding of cells into the media, its effect was dissimilar in non-PP cultures, where TGFβ1 had either no impact (keloid T and normal nonplantar fibroblasts) or was pro-apoptotic (keloid D cultures).
The data presented were obtained in three independent experiments with fibroblasts from two keloid prone individuals (labeled as keloid D and keloid T), as well as with fibroblasts from one non-affected individual.
This suggests that body-site specific keloid formation may be dependent on the difference in the development and resolution of tension in the wound bed at nonglabrous vs. glabrous sites in keloid prone patients.
Fibroblasts at glabrous sites (palms, soles) do not promote keloid formation consistent with an earlier reduction in cellularity, necessary for a normal wound healing.
