Scar formation affects the quality of people's daily lives, and in this study we explored whether hypoxic conditioned medium of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) has a protective effect on scar formation. Our study showed that hypoxic conditioned medium of PMSCs inhibited the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced up-regulation of collagens and differentiation of skin fibroblasts to myofibroblast. Mechanism study showed that the level of interleukin-10 (IL-10) was

Results of this study suggested that hypoxic conditioned medium of PMSCs performed a protective effect against scar formation through the regulation of IL-10. This study provides further evidence for the possible use of PMSCs as a promising method to treat wounds.
