exhibit a unique healing phenotype at multiple levels. Gross and histologic analysis revealed that full-thickness and deep dermal (1.8 mm deep) wounds both heal via formation of hypercontracted, hyperpigmented scars, Molecular analysis using reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and porcine-specific primer sets revealed that types I and III collagen, heat shock protein 47, bone morphogenetic protein-1, several proteoglycans, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1-3 all showed a unique biphasic pattern of mRNA expression compared to previous results with Yorkshire pigs. This pattern was characterized by an initial peak of expression early after wounding, followed by a return to near-normal levels by days 28-42, and then a second increase in mRNA levels at days 56-70. The second phase of increased gene expression correlated with an increased collagen deposition as observed by picrosirius red staining and polarizing light microscopy. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis also revealed a prolonged expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 compared to previous findings in the Yorkshire strain. Further characterization of the genetics and molecular biology associated with the red Duroc phenotype may provide insight into aberrant human wound healing.
