Abstract: Objective  To observe the expression of nerve growth factor precursor (proNGF) in pathological scars. Methods  A total of 23 hyperplastic scar samples and 20 keloid samples (pathological scar group) and 20 normal skin tissues (control group) were collected. The proNGF expressions were examined with immunohistochemical and Western blotting techniques. Results  The proNGF was positively expressed in all three tissue types, especially in epidermal cells and fibroblasts. Immunohistochemical examination indicated that proNGF expression was significantly lower in hyperplastic scars and keloids than in normal skin (χ2=8.23, P<0.05; χ2=8.29, P <0.05). Western blotting showed that protein expression of proNGF was markedly lower in hyperplastic scars and keloids than in normal skin (t=14.02, P<0.01; t=20.80, P<0.01). Conclusion  Compared with normal skin, proNGF expression in pathological scars is significantly lower, suggesting the negative relationship between proNGF expression and scar proliferation.
