miR-205 inhibits the development of hypertrophic scars by targeting THBS1
Figure 1. Downregulation of miR-205 expression in hypertrophic scars. (A) Different expression of miRNAs in adjacent skin and hypertrophic scars was accessed by miRNA microarray analysis. (B, C) miR-205 expression in hypertrophic scars tissues and fibroblasts was examined. **P < 0.05. (D) The schematic of binding sites between miR-205 and THBS1 3’-UTR. (E, F) THBS1 expression in hypertrophic scars tissues and fibroblasts was examined. **P < 0.05. (G) The correlation between miR-205 and THBS1 expression was estimated. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. (H) The relative dual-luciferase activity of THBS1 in cells expressing miR-205 was determined by dual-luciferase assay. **P < 0.05, vs. control.
