These results suggest that, at least in part, the difference between keloid and palmar fibroblasts may be due to particular levels of TGFβ1-pathway related proteins at nonglabrous vs. glabrous sites.
Earlier work demonstrated that palmoplantar fibroblasts express less α-SMA than do keloid or to a lesser extent normal non-palmoplantar fibroblasts [ 36 ] . As TGFβ1 is a positive regulator of α-SMA, these observations could reflect the relative levels of active TGFβ1 or the levels of those proteins responsible for the transduction of its signal.
However, the addition of TGFβ1 to the non-PP cultures always resulted in increased apoptosis in the presence of serum: in keloid D small increases were observed and in keloid T and in normal nonplantar cultures large increases were observed.
This difference may be attributed to the ability of keloid fibroblasts to contract the collagen gel.
- non-palmoplantar (non-PP) or palmoplantar (PP) - normal (nonplantar, plantar, palmar from keloid patient biopsies) or abnormal (from keloid biopsies).
