Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 inhibits TGF-β1-induced collagen type I expression in keloid

Summary

Background  Keloids are benign skin tumours occurring during wound healing in genetically predisposed patients. There is evidence that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is involved in keloid formation. Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (Cthrc1) was identified as a novel gene expressed in the adventitia and neointima on arterial injury. It is indicated to be a cell type-specific inhibitor of TGF-β, which functionally increases cell migration while reducing collagen type I and III deposition. To our knowledge, however, expression and regulatory mechanisms of Cthrc1 and TGF-β1 in keloid and normal skin has ...
