Increased CCN2 Transcription in Keloid Fibroblasts Requires Cooperativity Between AP-1 and SMAD Binding Sites
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We examined the transcriptional response to serum stimulation as an in vitro model of wound healing in keloid fibroblasts to identify molecular mechanisms leading to their aberrant growth. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Keloids are proliferative dermal growths representing a pathologic wound healing response. Although several groups have shown increased expression of profibrotic factors in keloids, there is...
