author keywords: Wound healing; Skin; Proliferation; Migration
MeSH headings : Cell Line, Transformed; Cell Movement / physiology; Cell Proliferation / physiology; Cyclin D1 / metabolism; Gene Knockout Techniques; Humans; Keratinocytes / cytology; Keratinocytes / physiology; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 / metabolism; NF-kappa B p50 Subunit / metabolism; Scavenger Receptors, Class B / genetics; Scavenger Receptors, Class B / physiology; Skin / metabolism; Wound Healing / physiology
TL;DR: In vitro data demonstrated that SR-B1 influenced keratinocyte proliferation and migration through a downregulation of nuclear cyclin D1 levels and active MMP9 expression respectively possibly in an NF-kB-dependent mechanism, and suggests a new role of SRB1 as a possible new key player in cutaneous wound healing mechanism.
