CD147 drives keloid formation by promoting fibroblast proliferation via the CENPF signaling pathway

ABSTRACT: Keloids are benign dermal tumors, and keloid fibroblasts (KFs) play a critical role in their formation through hyperproliferation. However, the mechanism underlying this excessive fibroblast growth in keloids remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that CD147 is upregulated in KFs and promotes their pathological activities, while its inhibition reverses these abnormalities. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis revealed that CD147 played an important regulatory role in controlling the cell cycle of KFs, and centromere protein F (CENPF) expression was substantially downregulated following CD147 inhibition. Furthermore, CENPF knockdown attenuated the proliferation-inducing effects of CD147 in KFs, potentially promoting cell apoptosis via the p53 signaling pathway. These findings uncover the CD147-CENPF signaling pathway in keloid pathogenesis, suggesting targeting this pathway as a promising therapeutic strategy.

Keloid fibroproliferative properties are dependent on stem cells modified by the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway [EA1488]

Project description:Keloids are benign fibroproliferative skin tumors caused by aberrant wound healing, the etiology of which is unknown. Although keloids cause life inconveniences and cosmetic problems, the lack of animal models has yet to elucidate their pathogenesis or develop effective treatments. Here, we found that the characteristics of stem cells from keloid lesions and surrounding dermis differ from those of normal skin and that HEDGEHOG (HH) signal and its downstream transcription factor GLI1 were upregulated in keloid patient-derived stem cells. Inhibition of the HH-GLI1 pathway reduced the expression of genes involved in keloids and fibrosis-inducing cytokines, including osteopontin. Moreover, HH-signal inhibitor vismodegib reduced keloid reconstituted tumor size and the expression of keloid related genes in nude mouse, and the collagen bundle and the expression of cytokines characteristic for keloids in ex vivo culture of keloid tissues. These results implicate the HH-GLI1 pathway in keloid pathogenesis and suggest therapeutic target of keloids.

The Role of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin in Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars

Project description:We hypothesize that, the mTOR pathway is a dominant pathway in cultured keloid and hypertrophy scar fibriblasts compared to normal skin cells. Certain pathway changes can be detected after medication treatment. Global gene expression in RNA samples from rapamycin and tacrolimus treated fibroblasts (from normal skin and hypertrophic scars, keloid scars) is assayed to study the possibility to use mTOR inhibitors as potential drug to treat abnormal scarring. We investigated the difference between normal wound healing and hypertrophic scars and keloids as well.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of keloid scars and normal skin tissues

Project description:Keloid scars is a pathologic fibro-proliferative disorders of the skin, which exhibit abnormal phenotypes including fibroblasts proliferation and collagen deposits. There have been several treatments of keloids including conventional surgical therapies and adjuvant therapies, but a high recurrence rate of keloids was also observed after treatment. Quantitative proteomics approach has been proved an efficient approach to investigate pathological mechanism and novel biomarkers. In this study, we present a label-free quantitative proteomics analysis to explore differential protein expression profiles in normal skin and keloid scar tissues based on nano-liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (Nano-LC–MS/MS). The study results displayed a more comprehensive keloid protein expression landscape and provided novel pathological insight of keloid.

Uncovering a Fibroblast Differentiation-Based Keloid Classification by Integration of Single-cell and Bulk RNA Sequencing

Project description:Keloids are dermal fibroproliferative skin disorders caused by abnormal wound healing, resulting in impaired skin function and aesthetic defects. Abnormal fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen deposition are involved in keloid formation. This study investigated the role of fibroblast differentiation in keloid development. Single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data of keloids were comprehensively analyzed, and 25 clinically relevant differentially expressed fibroblast-differentiation-related genes (DEFDRGs) were identified. Based on DEFDRGs, a keloid diagnostic classification system comprising three subtypes was constructed, indicating that DEFDRGs could serve as therapeutic targets. Additionally, multiple microarray datasets, protein sequencing data, and immunohistochemical analyses of key markers in clinical keloid samples were used for further verification. In conclusion, this study established a molecular classification of keloids based on fibroblast differentiation, contributing to the further understanding of keloid pathogenesis and providing new insights for diagnosis and treatment.

Gene profiling of keloid fibroblasts shows altered expression in multiple fibrosis-associated pathways

Project description:Keloids are benign tumors of the dermis that form during a protracted wound healing process. Susceptibility to keloid formation occurs predominantly in people of African and Asian descent. The key alteration(s) responsible for keloid formation has not been identified and there is no satisfactory treatment for this disorder. The altered regulatory mechanism is limited to dermal wound healing, although several diseases characterized by an exaggerated response to injury are prevalent in individuals of African ancestry. We have observed a complex pattern of phenotypic differences in keloid fibroblasts grown in standard culture medium or induced by hydrocortisone. In this study Affymetrix-based microarray was performed on RNA obtained from fibroblasts cultured from normal scars and keloids grown in the absence and presence of hydrocortisone. We observed differential regulation of approximately 500 genes of the 38,000 represented on the Affymetrix chip. Of particular interest was increased expression of several IGF-binding and IGF-binding related proteins and decreased expression of a subset of Wnt pathway inhibitors and multiple IL-1-inducible genes. Increased expression of CTGF and IGFBP-3 was observed in keloid fibroblasts only in the presence of hydrocortisone. These findings support a role for multiple fibrosis-related pathways in the pathogenesis of keloids Keywords: cell-type comparison, drug treatment comparison Cell cultures were initiated from human biopsy material from normal dermal scars and keloids of adult males and females. Experimental cultures were derived from the first passage of cells thawed from liquid nitrogen. Cultures of fibroblasts from samples were grown with or without 1.5 micromolar hydrocortisone. RNA from each cell strain was isolated from three independent cell cultures and pooled, then run on an Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip.

Keloid-specific gene expression profiling for accurate diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Project description:Scars are a heterogeneous disease including normotrophic scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloids. Of these lesions, keloids are a distinct subtype from any other type of scar because clinically, it causes pain, itching, or tenderness, causing life discomfort and characteristically irreversible. Therefore, for accurate diagnosis and treatment of keloids, it is essential to identify keloid-specific genes. However, in previous studies, keloids were compared with controls such as scar-free normal skin. In these studies, general scar-related genes were likely to be chosen rather than keloid-specific genes. In this study, we acquired transcriptomic profiles of normotrophic scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloids from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human skin samples using high-throughput RNA-sequencing techniques. We compared the transcriptome profile of keloids with those of other scar lesions to select for highly accurate keloid-specific genes and pathways. The results revealed that genes related with several biological processes such as sensory/visual perception are upregulated strongly in keloids, whereas genes related with activation of immune response were downregulated remarkably in keloids. Furthermore, the biological process of extracellular matrix organization was highlighted in both hypertrophic scars and keloids. In conclusion, our study provides insight into the pathogenesis of keloids distinct from other scar lesions as well as potential keloid-specific biomarkers.
