BACKGROUND: Dupuytren's contracture or disease (DD) affects hand function by causing irreversible contraction of the palmar fascia. Histological analysis has shown that DD and wound granulation tissue share many cellular and biochemical characteristics, suggesting that DD may be an exaggerated wound-healing response. The goal of the present study was to examine the possible involvement of two important wound-healing-associated proteins-heat shock protein 47 (Hsp47), fibronectin (Fn), and its oncofetal isoforms-in DD, using clinical tissue samples and primary cell cultures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined the expression of Hsp47, Fn, and an oncofetal isoform of fibronectin (IIICS) in both normal and disease-matched surgical specimens and primary cell cultures using Western blot analysis, and immunocytochemistry (ICC).
RESULTS: Our results indicate that Hsp47 and total fibronectin is elevated in DD lesional tissue. In addition, Western and ICC analysis of patient-matched (normal and disease) primary cultures show significantly elevated levels of oncofetal fibronectin (IIICS spliced variant) within disease primary cell cultures.
CONCLUSIONS: The high levels of expression of Hsp47 and adult and oncofetal fibronectin in DD suggests that cell-mediated alterations in the extracellular environment may play an important role in the disease process. Furthermore, the involvement of these wound healing-associated proteins in DD supports the notion that this disease may be an exaggerated form of wound healing.
