Abstract: Extracellular matrix hyaluronan is prominent during wound healing, appearing at elevated levels early in the repair process. It is prevalent throughout the course of fetal wound healing, which is scar-free, but decreases late in adult wound repair, that is often marked by scarring. To determine whether aberrant hyaluronan metabolism is associated with the excessive scarring that characterizes keloids, cultured fibroblasts derived from keloids and from the dermis of normal human skin and scar were compared. Levels of hyaluronan in 48 h conditioned media of keloid-derived cultures were significantly lower than in cultures of normal skin and scar fibroblasts. Profiles of hyaluronan polymer size were comparable in these two cell types, suggesting that excessive hyaluronan degradation was not involved. Hydrocortisone decreased hyaluronan levels approximately 70% in the conditioned media of both keloid and normal fibroblasts. Diminished hyaluronan accumulation in keloid-derived cells compared with normal fibroblasts was also observed in an in vitro wound healing model. Histolocalization of hyaluronan in keloids, normal skin, and scar samples confirmed the biochemical observations that the dermis of keloids, which comprises most of the scar tissue, contained markedly diminished levels of hyaluronan. Alterations in hyaluronan in the epidermis overlying keloids, however, were also observed. A modest increase in hyaluronan staining intensity was observed in the epidermis of keloids, as well as changes in the patterns of distribution within the epidermis, compared with that in normal skin and scar. Increased hyaluronan was present in the granular and spinous layers of the keloid epidermis Abnormalities are present apparently in both the overlying epidermis as well as in the dermis of keloids. Aberrations in signaling between keloid stroma and keloid epidermis may underlie abnormalities that contribute to the excessive fibrosis characteristic of these lesions.
