Abstract
The skin pathologic scar is a skin fibrous proliferative disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts and overdeposition of extracellular matrix. Unclarity of genesis and development mechanism is the main reason that restricts its diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, it has been found that microRNAs play important roles in the regulation mechanism of pathological scars. The competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have microRNA response elements which can be competitively combined with microRNAs through sponge adsorption. Through the mutual regulation of RNAs, ceRNAs regulate the expression of target gene and participate in the development of disease. Based on the ceRNA hypothesis, this paper systematically reviews the biological functions and clinical significance of ceRNAs in pathological scars of skin, and discusses the role of ceRNAs and " RNA-microRNA-RNA" regulation network in pathologic scars. The ceRNA therapy may become a new model therapy for skin scars in the future.
