Gene expression profiling reveals alteration of caspase 6 and 14 transcripts in normal skin of keloid-prone patients.

Abstract excerpt

Excessive scar formation in keloids points to altered tissue modeling and repair mechanisms. Dysregulation of cytokine and apoptotic cascades and their downstream signaling pathways might have a role in keloid development. Total RNA was isolated from biopsied keloidal tissue and adjacent normal skin of black patients, white patient's scars, and normal skin of black and white patients, with normal wound healing....
