To explore the role of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) and their receptors (TGF beta-R) in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic scar.
Specimens of normal skin and hypertrophic scar were harvested and the distribution and the expression of the TGF beta and TGF beta-R were determined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization method.
The expressions of TGF beta and TGF beta-RII in normal skin were higher than the expression of TGF beta 1, TGF beta 2 and TGF-RI. But in hypertrophic scar the results were on the contrary. The mRNA expressions of TGF beta 1, TGF beta 2 and TGFRI were evidently increased with decreased mRNA expression of TGF-beta 3 and TGFR II in the hypertrophic scar when compared with those in the normal skin.
The expression of TGF-beta (beta 1, beta 2, beta 3) and their receptors in different levels during the process of wound healing might be related to the formation of hypertrophic scars.
探讨转化生长因子β(TGFβ)及其受体(TGFβ-R)在增生性瘢痕发病机制中的作用。
采集正常皮肤和增生性瘢痕标本,采用免疫组织化学和原位杂交方法检测TGFβ及TGFβ-R的分布和表达。
正常皮肤中TGFβ和TGFβ-RII的表达高于TGFβ1、TGFβ2和TGF-RI的表达。但在增生性瘢痕中结果相反。与正常皮肤相比,增生性瘢痕中TGFβ1、TGFβ2和TGFRI的mRNA表达明显增加,而TGF-β3和TGFR II的mRNA表达降低。
伤口愈合过程中不同水平的TGF-β(β1、β2、β3)及其受体的表达可能与增生性瘢痕的形成有关。
