HOXC10 promotes hypertrophic scar fibroblast fibrosis through the regulation of STMN2 and the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
The pathophysiology of hypertrophic scar (HS) shares similarities with cancer. HOXC10, a gene significantly involved in cancer development, exhibits higher expression levels in HS than in normal skin (NS), suggesting its potential role in HS regulation. And the precise functions and mechanisms by wh...

HOXC10, a gene significantly involved in cancer development, exhibits higher expression levels in HS than in normal skin (NS), suggesting its potential role in HS regulation. And the precise functions and mechanisms by which HOXC10 influences HS require further clarification. Gene and protein expressions were analyzed using raeal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT–qPCR) and western blot techniques. Cell proliferation and migration were evaluated using EdU proliferation assays, CCK-8 assays, scratch assays, and Transwell assays. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted to investigate the interactions between HOXC10 and STMN2. HOXC10 and STMN2 expression levels were significantly higher in HS tissues compared with NS tissues. Silencing HOXC10 led to decreased activation, proliferation, migration, and fibrosis in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs). Our findings also indicate that HOXC10 directly targets STMN2. The promotional effects of HOXC10 knockdown on HSF activation, proliferation, migration, and fibrosis were reversed by STMN2 overexpression. We further demonstrated that HOXC10 regulates HSF activity through the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. HOXC10 induces the activation and fibrosis of HSFs by promoting the transcriptional activation of STMN2 and engaging the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. This study suggests that HOXC10 could be a promising target for developing treatments for HS. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
