Abstract
Keloid is a dermal proliferative disorder characterized by the excessive proliferation and migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Over-activation of the serine/threonine protein kinase, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), plays a pivotal role in the process. Here, we show that both mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) were hyper-activated in keloid-derived primary keratinocytes. Further, OSI-027, an mTOR kinase inhibitor,...
