Activation of the -melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)/melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) signalling pathway exerts antagonistic actions on cutaneous inflammatory and fibrogenic responses in addition to promoting pigment production. Herein, the expression of MC1R by keloid-derived fibroblasts and keloid scar tissue was investigated using a range of techniques. MC1R mRNA expression levels in five different keloid fibroblast cell lines were significantly reduced to less than half compared with five normal fibroblast cell lines (P
