TGF-β1 promotes scar fibroblasts proliferation and transdifferentiation via up-regulating MicroRNA-21
24 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
TGF-β1, upregulated in keloid tissue, promotes the proliferation, collagen formation and differentiation of dermal fibroblasts. miR-21 is one of microRNAs first found in human genome. The aim of our study is to explore the mechanisms of miR-21 in TGF-β1-induced scar fibroblasts proliferation and transdifferentiation. In the present study, first we found that TGF-β1 promoted scar fibroblasts proliferation and...
