Six full-thickness and circular wounds (10 mm diameter) were made to each ear. Following complete re-epithelization observed on postoperative day 14, an intralesional injection of CONPs or 5% glucose solution was conducted to the wounds. The photo and ultrasonography of each wound were taken every week and scars were harvested on day 35 for further histomorphometric analysis. In vitro, the role of CONPs in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) apoptosis and proliferation were evaluated by Tunnel assay, Annexin V/PI staining, cell cycle analysis, and EdU proliferation assay. The endocytosis of CONPs by fibroblasts were detected through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS production were also detected.Results: In vivo, intralesional injections of CONPs could significantly improve the scar appearance and collagen arrangement, and decreased scar elevation index (SEI). In vitro, CONPs could prominently inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in HSFs in a concentration-dependent manner.
