Scientific titlePathophysiology of Dupuytren's Contracture
Study objectivesDupuytren's disease is a common inheritable disorder, mainly affecting the hand. The digits develop progressive flexion contractures and hand function is significantly impaired. The current mainstay of treatment is surgical excision of the affected tissues but recurrence following excision is seen in approximately 40% of patients. Replacing the palmar skin with grafts obtained from a non-palmar site on the body virtually abolishes recurrence. Based on this well-established surgical observation, we have developed a novel in vitro model that replicates these interactions between skin cells and the contractile cells responsible for Dupuytren's disease. We have also identified a molecule (tenascin-C) that may control the signalling between these cell types.
