Keloid formation is a wound healing response, which fails to resolve and leads to formation of a raised collagen mass extending beyond the original wound margins, Keloids are typically excluded from palms and soles. Therefore we compared keloid and palmar fibroblasts in vitro using fibroblasts from nonaffected individuals as controls. Collagen I, alpha-smooth muscle actin and thrombospondin-1 were found at higher levels in keloid than in palmar fibroblasts. These differences were ameliorated by addition of TGF beta 1. The potential for resolution of the wound healing response was estimated analyzing apoptosis during serum starvation. Annexin V and TUNEL assays showed that palmar fibroblasts underwent faster apoptosis, than did the keloid fibroblasts, and started detaching. Addition of TGF beta 1 counteracted this effect. The weak expression of the myofibroblast phenotype and the advanced apoptosis of palmar fibroblasts suggest mechanisms for the exclusion of keloids from palmer sites.
