Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) have been proposed to play key roles in extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in hypertrophic scars (HS). Here, we found that in HS fibroblasts (HFs) miR-181c and miR-10a were differentially-expressed and targeted uPA and PAI-1, respectively. The production of Type 1 collagen (Col1) was inhibited by miR-181c knockdown or miR-10a overexpression in HFs, and this resulted in increased levels of metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1). These results suggest that the miR-181c-uPA and miR-10a-PAI-1 regulatory pathways have an integral role in HS pathogenesis.
尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂(uPA)和纤溶酶原激活剂抑制剂-1(PAI-1)被认为在增生性瘢痕(HS)的细胞外基质(ECM)沉积中起关键作用。在此,我们发现,在HS成纤维细胞(HFs)中,miR-181c和miR-10a表达存在差异,且分别靶向uPA和PAI-1。在HFs中,miR-181c敲低或miR-10a过表达可抑制I型胶原蛋白(Col1)的产生,这导致金属蛋白酶1(MMP1)水平升高。这些结果表明,miR-181c-uPA和miR-10a-PAI-1调控途径在HS发病机制中起不可或缺的作用。
