The aim of this study was to assess gene expression of neurotrophins and their receptors in keloids. Skin samples of normal skin and keloids were obtained from patients in the control (n = 12) and keloid (n = 12) groups, respectively. Ribonucleic acid was extracted from the skin specimens, purified, evaluated by spectrophotometry, and used to synthesize complementary DNA. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of 84 human neurotrophin genes and their receptors was performed. Twelve genes, including heat shock 27-kDa protein 1, gastrin-releasing peptide receptor, corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2, neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor, interleukin 6 signal transducer, nerve growth factor, metallothionein 3, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma 2, cholecystokinin A receptor, persephin, galanin receptor 2, and fibroblast growth factor receptor 3, were down-regulated in keloid tissue compared with normal skin. The genes 27-kDa heat shock protein 1, gastrin-releasing peptide receptor, corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2, nerve growth factor, metallothionein 3, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma 2, and persephin protein were considered priority genes associated with keloid formation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007627 Keloid A sharply elevated, irregularly shaped, progressively enlarging scar resulting from formation of excessive amounts of collagen in the dermis during connective tissue repair. It is differentiated from a hypertrophic scar (CICATRIX, HYPERTROPHIC) in that the former does not spread to surrounding tissues. Keloids
