| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the Th17/Treg balance in a peripheral blood and keloid tissues. There was significant difference of Th17/Treg balance in the keloid tissues compared with control. High expression of IL17 and IL10 was found in keloid tissues compared to normal skin. Treatment of normal fibroblast with recombinant IL17 and IL10 peptide resulted in an increase in collagen synthesis. These finding highlight a potential role for Th17/Treg balance triggered by IL10 and IL17 in keloid pathogenesis and development of molecular therapy for keloid.
