IER3-N-cadherin axis contributes to apoptosis resistance in dermal fibroblasts under profibrotic conditions

Background: Persistent activation and resistance to apoptosis of dermal fibroblasts contribute to pathological skin fibrosis. Immediate early response 3 (IER3) is a stress-responsive protein involved in cell survival, but its role in cutaneous fibrosis remains unclear. We investigated the functional significance of IER3 in dermal fibroblasts and its potential contribution to fibrosis. Methods:…
