Expression of activation markers in HTSKs. Significantly increased mRNA levels of genes encoding keratin 6 (KRT6) (A) and keratin 17 (KRT17) (C) in HTSKs compared with those in HNKs. Significantly increased protein levels of keratin 6 (B) and keratin 16 (D) in HTSKs compared with those in HNKs. NHKs and HTSKs were primary cultured from normal skin tissues and HTS tissues, respectively. In the fold change, HNKs marked as value 1; HNK, human normal keratinocyte; HTSK, hypertrophic scar keratinocyte; *P < 0.05 for HTSK vs. the corresponding matched HNK. Data represent means ± SD; n = 4 (HNK) and n = 4 (HTSK).
