Immunophenotypical analyses of myofibroblasts in rat excisional wound healing: possible transdifferentiation of blood vessel pericytes and perifollicular dermal sheath cells into myofibroblasts.
Abstract
Cutaneous fibrosis after wound is evoked by myofibroblasts capable of producing collagen; the derivation and features remain to be investigated. Immunophenotypical characteristics of myofibroblasts were analysed in excisional rat wound healing, of which samples were obtained on post-wounding (PW) days 1 to 26. Myofibroblasts were characterized for expressions of intermediate cytoskeletons such as vimentin, desmin, and α-smooth muscle actin...
