Expression of apoptosis-related factors in HTSKs. Significantly increased mRNA levels of genes encoding bcl2 (BCL2) (A) and decreased mRNA levels of genes encoding caspase 14 (CASP14) (C) in HTSKs compared with those in HNKs. Significantly increased protein levels of bcl2 (B) and decreased protein levels of caspase 14 (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).
