Publication number: 20230124032Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating hypertrophic scars. The present inventors have found that the inhibition of expression of TXNDC5, PRRC1, S100A11, Galectin 1, Filamin A, eIF-5A, Annexin A2, and FABP5 can be a new target for improving and treating hypertrophic scars. In the present invention, TXNDC5-, PRRC1-, S100A11-, Galectin 1-, Filamin A-, eIF-5A-, Annexin A2-, and FABP5-specific siRNAs were constructed to determine the probability of treating the hypertrophic scars. As a result, the knockdown of the protein or a gene encoding the protein induces apoptosis in the hypertrophic scars and reduces collagen expression, which can be very useful in treating wounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Tego Science Inc.Inventors: Saewha JEON, Ho Yun CHUNG, Na Ra OH, Yun Hee KIM, Jikhyon HAN, Hyun Ah MOON
