Fibroblasts are central to HTS pathogenesis, yet clinical strategies remain limited by an incomplete understanding of fibroblast heterogeneity and transcriptional regulation. This study aimed to identify a key fibroblast subpopulation and its regulatory transcription factors to address this translational gap.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on dermal cells from freshly excised human HTS and normal skin (NS) tissues. Fibroblast subsets and transcriptional regulators were identified using Seurat, pseudotime, transcription factor prediction, and cell\u2013cell communication analyses. Functional validation involved lentiviral overexpression of Yin Yang 1 (YY1) in fibroblasts derived from patients with hypertrophic scars, followed by bulk RNA sequencing, western blotting, CUT&amp;Tag, and immunofluorescence assays.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical HTS specimens showed characteristic collagen overproduction and vascular hyperplasia. Single-cell analysis of 43\u2009303 cells revealed disease-specific shifts in cellular composition, including pronounced pericyte expansion and reduced fibroblast abundance. Notably, fibroblast subcluster Fib_5 (ADAM12+ COMP+ POSTNhi) increased despite the overall fibroblast decline in HTS and exhibited upregulated fibrotic gene expression. Cross-validation using combined public datasets comprising 21 samples indicated that the Fib_5-like subcluster is conserved across fibrotic conditions. Pseudotime analyses placed Fib_5 within an HTS-dominant branch, State 6; transcription factor prediction from branch-dependent differentially expressed genes identified YY1 as the only predicted transcription factor also differentially expressed in State 6. Functional validation showed that YY1 overexpression in fibroblasts derived from patients with HTS reversed fibrotic gene expression profiles, with Fib_5 identified as a primary responder by Scissor. CUT&amp;Tag analysis validated these findings at the epigenomic level. Cell\u2013cell communication analyses further revealed marked reprogramming of fibroblast-pericyte signalling across multiple fibrosis-related pathways in HTS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This work establishes the Fib_5-YY1 axis as a central hub in HTS pathogenesis, with YY1-mediated fibroblast plasticity as a key transcriptional mechanism underlying skin fibrogenesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/burnst\/tkag027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]],"date-time":"2026-03-31T11:38:25Z","timestamp":1774957105000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Single-cell transcriptomic profiling identifies YY1 as a key regulator of fibroblast plasticity in hypertrophic scar formation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3512-0559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qian","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College , 33 Ba-Da-Chu Road, Shijingshan District, Beijing, 100144 ,","place":["P.R.
