As the clot is digested by plasmin, fibroblasts replace it with cellular FN, tenascin (TN) and Coll III [ 12 13 ] . These extracellular matrix proteins are critical for migration of endothelial cells, keratinocytes and additional fibroblasts into the wound and are important for proper generation of healthy healing tissue.
The presence of TGF-β increases the expression of such extracellular matrix proteins as fibronectin, the fibronectin receptor, vitronectin, tenascin, elastin, thrombospondin, collagen, and biglycan [ 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ] and also inhibits expression of proteases that degrade the extracellular matrix while stimulating the expression of protease inhibitors [ 33 34 35 36 ] .
