(Cicatrix, Hypertrophic...) :
Dermatopontin expression is decreased in hypertrophic scar and systemic sclerosis skin fibroblasts and is regulated by transforming growth factor-beta1, interleukin-4 , and matrix collagen ... Transforming growth factor-beta1 increased dermatopontin mRNA and protein levels, while interleukin-4 reduced dermatopontin expression

(Hypersensitivity) :
In contrast to this, inhibition of Dpt stimulated IL-4- and IL-5-secretion was more pronounced in cells from allergic subjects
