Thus a necessary requirement for keloid formation will be maintenance of tension to prevent (delay) apoptosis.
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).
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.
In both paired samples keloid fibroblasts contained more α-SMA than did palmar fibroblasts.
Skin samples from palmoplantar (PP) and non-PP loci were obtained under IRB approval from African-American keloid prone and normal donors [ 36 ] . Biopsies were rinsed with PBS, minced into small fragments and epidermis separated from dermis using a 4°C overnight incubation with Dispase II (2.
