Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how asiaticoside affects the growth and behavior of fibroblasts related to capsular contracture after breast augmentation.
  • Results showed that higher concentrations of asiaticoside significantly reduced DNA and collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, particularly noted at 50 mg/L, indicating it inhibits cell activity.
  • Additionally, asiaticoside at 25 mg/L decreased the expression of alpha-SMA, a marker of fibroblast transformation into myofibroblasts, suggesting it helps prevent this conversion.

Objective: To investigate the expression and the role of secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (SFRP2) in the earlobe keloid and find a valid way to treat the keloid with gene therapy.

Methods: The expression of SFRP2 mRNA and protein was tested with in situ hybridization and Western Blot Analysis method in the different period of earlobe keloid.

Results: The SFRP2 mRNA and protein expression at the keloid edge was significantly high in 12 month group than in 3 or 6 month groups (P < 0.
