Abstract
En 中文
• TNC was elevated in the epidural scar tissues either in the patients after spine surgery or in a murine laminectomy model. • Ablation of TNC via knockout significantly reduced epidural scar formation pointing at an important role of TNC in fibrosis shown to be linked to elevated fibronectin expression. • Through its Epidermal Growth Factor Like (EGFL) domains, TNC downregulates caveolin-1 involving Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4). • By downregulating caveolin-1, TNC relieves suppression of transforming growth factor‑β receptor I (TβRI), resulting in a profibrotic fibroblast phenotype with upregulated fibronectin expression.
