TSA decreases both the expression of collagen I and BCL2 in keloid fibroblasts. (A) COL1A1 mRNA expression was determined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction following treatment with 1,000 nM TSA for 72 h in culture. (B) Western blotting was performed following treatment with 1,000 nM TSA for 72 h in culture. Results represent one of three independent experiments and were normalized to the β-actin control. n=4 for control (DMSO)- and TSA-treated groups.*P<0.05 vs. Control. TSA, trichostatin A; BCL2, B-cell lymphoma 2; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.
