| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: A hypertrophic scar (HS) is a pathological result of wound healing. It is caused by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components. MicroRNAs regulate protein-coding gene expression, participating in different biological processes. MiR-31 has a wide range of molecular targets and is specifically expressed in various tissues and organs. Aim of the study: to evaluate the role of miR-31 in hypertrophic scar parthenogenesis. Subjects and Methods: The study included 20 hypertrophic scar patients and 20 healthy subjects as a control. The level of the microRNAs in serum was estimated using serum isolation Then, cDNA was formed using the RT Kit. PCR will be conducted by real-time PCR for the amplification of the genes. Results: There was a highly statistically significant difference between the two groups of miR-31. The level of mir-31 was much higher in the patient group than in the normal control. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that miR-31 is pro-fibrotic and that its up-regulation stimulates fibrosis. This may provide a new direction for the study of the parthenogenesis of hypertrophic scars. | ||||
