Abstract

To investigate the effect of pulsed dye laser (PDL 595 nm) on the proliferation and expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in cultured keloid fibroblasts. Cultured keloid fibroblasts were exposed to pulsed dye laser irradiation at fluences of 6, 8, and 10 J/cm(2) , with pulse durations of 1.5, 3, and 10 ms. The viability of keloid fibroblasts was measured with CCK-8 at 72, 24, and 12 hours prior to irradiation. Subsequently, viability was measured at 12, 24, and 72 hours post-irradiation. Additionally, the fibroblast cell cycle and apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytometry. Finally, keloid fibroblasts underwent real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot to investigate the CTGF mRNA and protein expression after PDL irradiation. The untreated cultured keloid fibroblasts served as controls. The proliferation of keloid fibroblasts was significantly inhibited after PDL irradiation. Both CTGF mRNA and protein expression were significantly down-regulated in 1.5, 3, and 10 ms pulse duration groups, in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between groups of different pulse duration in 6, 8, and 10 J/cm(2) fluence ranges (P > 0.05). Within certain...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
