Project description:It is well accepted that elevated mechanical tension of the skin surrounding a healing wound stimulates a fibrotic cascade of events and contributes to an increased size of scars. A laxity paradox in the field of hair transplantation describes a phenomenon opposing this view. During Strip Follicular Unit Transplantation (Strip FUT), surgeons remove a strip of scalp skin (approximately 5 cm x 10 cm, depending on the number of hair follicles required) from the occipital scalp, which is then used to harvest hair follicles that will be transplanted into the balding frontal scalp. Most patients with normal scalp skin laxity heal with narrow normotrophic scars, while a small number of patients (14%) with very loose scalp skin, and so low residual skin tension, heal with post operating scar widening (4 - 12 mm). These scars, referred to as stretched scars in the hair transplantation field, often require revision surgery or secondary hair grafting into the scar. We hypothesise that stretched scars present a unique transcriptional signature different from other types of scars. To determine the gene expression profile of stretched scars, we used Affymetrix microarrays to perform profiling of fibrotic dermis and the surrounding patient-matched healthy dermis.

Project description:Human hair follicles undergo repetitive cycles of growth throughout their lifetime. During the hair follicle cycle, functional and structural changes occur within the surrounding skin environment. However, skin that experienced a deep injury lacks cycling hair follicles and turns into a mass of unremodelled scar tissue. We hypothesise that re-introducing cycling hair follicles into human scars will stimulate skin remodelling improving fibrotic tissue. To determine the transcriptional events underlying remodelling of scar dermis after hair follicle transplantation, we used Affymetrix microarrays to perform profiling of scar dermis before (0 mo), and at three time points after hair transplantation transplantation: 2, 4, and 6 months.

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.

Project description:Human periodontal ligament (HPDL) is continuously exposed to mechanical stress in vivo. In this study, in utilizing DNA chips, we analyzed the influences of mechanical stress on the gene expression profile of HPDL cells in vitro. HPDL cells were obtained from extracted first premolars of individuals undergoing tooth extraction for orthodontic treatment. Then, HPDL cells were applied to a stretch apparatus. They were constantly stretched and relaxed at 0.5 Hz for 48hr with 110ï¼ force elongation. After the application of the cyclic tension force, total RNA was extracted. Then, in utilizing the DNA chips (Human Oligo 30K DNA Chip containing almost all human genes in the genome). We analyzed the differences of gene expression between the stretched and the non-stretched control HPDL cells The DNA chip analysis identified 17 up-regulated genes that showed at least 2-fold difference in their relative intensities between the stretched and the control. This result included the genes for the glutamate receptor binding protein: HOMER1, for the growth factor receptor: CNTFR, for the ECM remodeling protein: MMP15, for the protein interacting with calcineurin A: DSCR1, for the cytoskeletal protein: LRRFIP1, for the glutamate receptor: GRIN3A and some novel genes. On the basis of these data, we suggest that mechanical stress, in other words in vivo occlusal force, may affect the functions of HPDL cells Gene expression profiles were constructed using Human Oligo DNA Chip 30K (Hitachi software engineering) in human periodontal ligament cells (The 48-h stretched and the 48-h non-stretched, control).

Project description:Hypertrophic scars arise from dysregulated wound healing under prolonged mechanical tension, causing disfiguring fibrosis. However, limited preclinical models replicate key features of human tension-induced scarring. We developed an innovative murine model utilizing suture anchoring to impose persistent transverse-axial stretch across healing incisions, mimicking excessive wound tension that leads to hypertrophy clinically. Dorsal paired incisions were generated in mice, with wound edges on the upper back sutured to the rib cage while leaving wound edges on the lower back relaxed. This localized anchoring restrained wound contraction, maintaining high tension throughout remodeling analogous to scars widening under stress. Stretched upper wounds developed profound fibrotic changes compared to relaxed controls. Scars induced by suture-anchored tension displayed macroscopic hypertrophy, hardness, erythema, and pruritis up to 3 months. Histologically, scars induced by suture-anchored tension were hypercellular, hypervascular, hyperproliferative with disorganized extracellular matrix deposition, and displayed molecular hallmarks of hypertrophic fibrosis. MRNA sequencing revealed the fibrogenic signature in suture-anchored tension induced hypertrophic scars, which exhibited transcriptional overlap with mechanically-stretched scars, human hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Project description:Fibrosis is vaguely described as connective tissue deposition that can be excessive in pathological conditions. This suggests a quantitative spectrum of fibrosis wherein there can be more or less extracellular matrix (ECM), which in the context of a repairing skin wound could reflect the range from normal scar to keloid. This depiction, however, does not encompass the potential qualitative differences between normal and pathological scars. In keloids, the markedly different physical (hard and dense) and histological (hyalinization) characteristics compared to normal scars indicate an altered and inappropriate matrix, rather than simply too much. With this quantitative discovery-based proteomics we provide a thorough molecular description of keloid lesions relative to normal scars, which is an essential step towards our understanding of this problem.
