Abstract

Background Excessive wound healing can lead to hypertrophic scars, which are not only a cosmetic issue but could also be itchy or painful. Previously, we reported that, in comparison with normal tissue, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) expression was increased in skin burn scars when the activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid-3 (TRPV3) of keratinocytes was increased. However, the functional role of TRPV3 in dermal fibrosis remains unclear.Objective We aimed to determine whether TRPV3 affects the collagen production of human primary dermal fibroblasts (HPDFs) and to investigate the mechanism involved.Method Human primary dermal fibroblasts were cultured and transformed into myofibroblasts using TSLP and carvacrol. Expression levels of α-SMA, fibronectin, and COL1A1 were determined using qPCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. Ca 2+ influx was measured using a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye, Fura3-AM. Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) and phosphorylated-Smad2/3 were determined by western blotting. Silencing of TRPV3 with TRPV3-specific small interference RNA was evaluated using qPCR and western blotting.Results The expression levels of α-SMA, fibronectin, COL1A1, and TSLP were significantly increased in carvacrol-treated HPDFs. The expression levels of α-SMA, fibronectin, and COL1A1 were significantly increased by TSLP. The expression levels of TSLP and COL1A1 were significantly blocked by TRPV3 silencing in HPDFs. Regulation of Ca 2+ influx and the expression levels of NFAT and p-Smad2/3 were significantly increased in carvacrol-treated HPDFs. ECM productions induced via the TRPV3/TSLP/Smad2/3 pathways.Conclusions The activation of the TRPV3 channels regulates dermal fibrosis by reducing extracellular matrix production via the TRPV3/TSLP/Smad2/3 pathways in dermal fibroblasts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
