Gene expression in human keloids is altered from dermal to chondrocytic and osteogenic lineage
30 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Keloids are a dermal fibrotic disease whose etiology remains totally unknown and for which there is no successful treatment. Here, we employed cDNA microarray analysis to examine gene expression in keloid lesions and control skin. We found that 32 genes among the 9000 tested were strongly up-regulated in keloid lesions, of which 21 were confirmed by Northern blotting. These included at least seven...
