Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study of MFAP 5 was not obtained with effective results, and it was changed to resveratrol as a therapeutic agent for keloid. Type I collagen, α-smooth muscle actin, and heat shock protein 47 expression decreased in resveratrol-treated keloid fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, resveratrol diminished transforming growth factor-β1 production by keloid fibroblasts. We also demonstrated that it suppressed their proliferation and induced apoptosis of the fibroblasts. Our data indicate that resveratrol may have an antifibrogenic effect on keloid fibroblasts , suggesting the potential application of resveratrol for the treatment of keloids.
