PG - 39-43 LID - S0102-86502014001500039 [pii] AB - PURPOSE: To evaluate KGF and human beta defensin-4 (HBD-4) levels produced by dermic fibroblasts and keratinocytes cultivated from burned patients' skin samples. METHODS: Keratinocytes and fibroblasts of 10 patients (four major burns, four minor burns and two controls) were primarily cultivated according to standard methods. HBD-4 and KGF genes were analyzed by quantitative PCR. RESULTS: In fibroblasts, KGF gene expression was 220+/-80 and 33.33+/-6.67 (M+/-SD; N=4), respectively for major and minor burn groups. In keratinocytes, KGF gene expression was 11.2+/-1.9 and 3.45+/-0.37 (M+/-SD; N=4), respectively for major and minor burn groups. In fibroblasts, HBD-4 gene expression was 15.0+/-4.0 and 11.5+/-0.5 (M+/-SD; N=4), respectively for major and minor burn. In keratinocyte, HBD-4 gene expression was 0.0+/-0.0 and 13.4+/-4.8 (M+/-SD; N=4), respectively for major and minor burn. CONCLUSIONS: KGF expression was increased in burn patient fibroblasts compared to control group. In keratinocytes culture, KGF suppression is inversely proportional to burn extension; it is active and increased in major burn but decreased in minor burn. HBD-4 expression was increased in fibroblasts and decreased in keratinocytes from all burned patients.
