Hypertrophic scars and keloids are fibroproliferative disorders caused by abnormal wound healing. Their exact cause has not been found, but abnormalities during the wound healing process including inflammatory, immune, genetic, and other factors are thought to predispose an individual to excessive scarring. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analysis of established keloid cell lines (KEL FIB), focusing on gene expression analysis and fusion gene detection for the first time. For gene expression analysis, fragments per kilobase per million map read values were calculated, which were validated by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry...
