Expression of differentiation marker in HTSKs after ESWT. Significantly decreased and increased mRNA (A) and protein levels (B) of keratin 1 (KRT1) in HTSKs at 24 h or 72 h after ESWT under 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mJ/mm2 of energy flux density, comparted with those in untreated control. Significantly increased and decreased mRNA (C) and protein levels (D) of involucrin (IVL) in HTSKs at 24 h or 72 h after ESWT, comparted with those in untreated control. In the fold change, untreated control cells marked as value 1; Ct, untreated control cells; HTSK, hypertrophic scar keratinocyte; *P < 0.05 for ESWT-treated cells vs. the corresponding matched untreated control cells. Data represent means ± SD; n = 4.
