Wnt-4 expression is increased in fibroblasts after TGF-beta1 stimulation and during fetal and postnatal wound repair.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2006; (7): 2297-301
Wnt-4 is a mitogen expressed during postnatal repair and scar formation; however, its expression profile during scarless repair is unknown. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 has high expression during healing with scar formation. Whether TGF-beta1 directly influences Wnt-4 expression in fetal or postnatal fibroblasts has not been examined.
