During the hemostatic phase of wound healing, vascular injury leads to endothelial cell damage, initiation of a coagulation cascade involving platelets, and formation of a fibrin-rich clot. As this cascade culminates, activation of the protease thrombin occurs and soluble fibrinogen is converted into an insoluble polymerized fibrin network. Fibrin polymerization is critical for bleeding cessation and subsequent stages of wound healing. We develop a cooperative enzyme kinetics model for in vitro ...[more]

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy as well as determination of the molecular mechanism of action of topical allogeneic ADSC therapy in the treatment of ulcers in patients with neuropathic diabetic foot. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined a total of 57 patients with neuropathic diabetic foot in grades IA and IIA according to the University of Texas classification. Finally 23 patients received treatment with standard therapy and fibrin glue (fibrin gel group) and 23 received treatment with standard therapy and ADSC suspended in tissue glue (fibrin gel + ADSC group). The primary outcome was determining the time needed to reduce the wound size by 50% from the initial size in both groups by assessing the wound surface, the evaluation of treatment safety, expressed as the occurrence of any adverse events; the evaluation of symptoms improvement (e.g. pain, itching, etc.) assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and analysis of the expression of selected pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory factors in the wounds treated in both study groups. RESULTS:The ADSC group benefited from the use of stem cells in terms of accelerated wound healing and greater likelihood of complete healing of the wound. In a second week after administration of therapy, the difference between the groups was already statistically significant (p = 0,04). The time to the 50% reduction of the size of the wound in the fibrin gel + ADSC group was significantly shorter (18.9 +/- 2.2 days ) than in the group receiving fibrin gel (39.8 +/- 6.9 days ), p = 0.0035. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the preliminary analysis show that the use of allogeneic ADSCs in the treatment of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers is a safe method of therapy, which allows to improve the effects of wound healing. Our study indicates also the association of higher expression of selected proteins expression intensifying the healing process through a faster transition to the proliferation phase with a faster reduction in wound area, and long-term efficacy of allogeneic ADSC cells.

Project description:Wound healing is an essential homeostatic mechanism that maintains the epithelial barrier integrity after tissue damage. Although we know the main events participating in the healing of a wound, many of the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Genetically amenable systems, such as wound healing in Drosophila imaginal discs, do not model all aspects of the repair process, but allow exploring many unanswered features of the healing response; e.g., which are the signal(s) responsible for initiating tissue remodeling? How is the sealing of the epithelia achieved? Or which are the inhibitory cues that cancel the healing machinery upon completion? Answering these and other questions demands in first place the identification and functional analysis of wound-specific genes. A variety of different microarray analyses of murine and humans have identified characteristic profiles of gene expression at the wound site, however, very few functional studies in healing regulation have been carried out. We developed an experimentally controlled method to culture imaginal discs that allows live imaging and biochemical analysis and is healing-permissive. Employing this approach, we performed a comparative genome-wide profiling between those Drosophila imaginal cells actively involved in healing versus their non-engaged siblings. This lets us identify a set of potential wound-specific genes. Importantly, besides identifying and categorizing new genes, we functionally tested many of their gene products by genetic interference and overexpression in a healing assay. This non-saturated analysis defines a relevant set of new genes whose changes in expression levels are functionally significant for proper tissue repair. There is promise that our newly identified wound-healing genes will guide future work in the more complex mammalian wound response. We developed a healing-permissive in vitro culture system for fly imaginal discs: we used one-channel microarrays for comparing healing-engaged cells (showing activation of the JNK signaling cascade) to cells not participating in healing (silent JNK activity) in wounded wing imaginal discs in culture. Employing this method, we aimed detecting the relevant genes involved in disc healing through microarray analysis. We compared cells actively involved in healing to those not involved and identified a whole set of upregulated or downregulated genes. They were annotated, clustered by expression profiles, chromosomal locations and presumptive functions. Most importantly, we functionally tested them genetically in a healing assay.

Project description:A recent physiological study established that hindlimb unloading of rats at 3 and 7 weeks inhibits healing of injured ligaments, resulting in a badly aligned, discontinuous collagen matrix. Using tissue from these rats, we focused on the 3-week time point employing microarray analysis to identify what cellular processes or lack of processes could account for these observed deficiencies. We used the Affymetrix RG_U34A GeneChip and performed image analysis with Microarray Suite 5.0. For normalization we used the MAS global normalization protocol with a default target mean signal of 500. Gene expression in medial collateral ligament tissue under 4 different treatment conditions was measured: loaded control, loaded wound healing, unloaded control, and unloaded wound healing. From our results, it appears that unloaded tissue lags behind loaded tissue in its progression through the healing process and at 3 weeks is still engaged in the proliferative phase, whereas loaded tissue is actively remodeling its collagen matrix.

Project description:(ACUP Abstract) Evaluating the effect of negative pressure therapy on wound healing. The current study will physically and systematically characterize the wound site through the healing process, and provide valuable new information on how bacteria interacts with Granufoam, Surgicel, Owen's Rayon, Fibrin Glue, and the wound site during the healing process, and may lead to the development of new materials and dressings to be used for wound healing applications. (Manuscript Abstract) Wound therapies are capable of modulating the complex molecular signaling profile of tissue regeneration. However traditional, bulk tissue analysis results in nonspecific expressional profiles and diluted signaling that lacks temporal-spatial information. In this study, an acute incisional porcine wound model was developed in the context of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Dressing materials were inserted into wounds with or without NPWT exposure and evaluated over 8-hours. Upon wound explantation, tissue was stratified and dissected into the epidermis, dermis, or subcutaneous layer, or left undissected as a bulk sample and all groups processed for RNAseq. RNAseq of stratified layers provided spatial localization of expressional changes within defined tissue regions, including angiogenesis, inflammation, and matrix remodeling. Different expressional profiles were observed between individual tissue layers relative to each other within a single wound group and between each individual layer relative to bulk analysis. Tissue stratification identified unique differentially expressed genes within specific layers of tissue that were hidden during bulk analysis, as well as amplification of weak signals and/or inversion of signaling between two layers of the same wound, suggesting that two layers of skin can cancel out signaling within bulk analytical approaches. The unique wound stratification and spatial RNAseq approach in this study provides a new methodology to observe expressional patterns more precisely within tissue that may have otherwise not been detectable. Together these experimental data offer novel insight into early expressional patterns and genomic profiles, within and between tissue layers, in wound healing pathways that could potentially help guide clinical decisions and improve wound outcomes.

Project description:Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4) is a matricellular protein that associates with extracellular matrix proteins, mediating complex cell-cell, and cell-matrix interactions. It has been implicated in various inflammation-associated diseases, including wound healing, but very few reports describe a direct role for Angptl4 in the immune landscape of wound microenvironment. Here, we studied whether Angptl4 regulates the immune response during wound healing. Using single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the temporal changes in the immune cell landscape of excisional wounds from wild type and Angplt4-knockout (Angplt4-/-) mice revealed that Angptl4-/- wounds had a stalled inflammatory phase. Infiltrated neutrophils remained elevated in the Angptl4-/- wounds due to an impaired monocyte to macrophage differentiation needed for clearance. The impaired monocyte differentiation was also validated in wounds using multi-color flow cytometry. Pairwise comparisons of differentially expressed genes from wound-derived and bone-marrow derived macrophages demonstrated few differences, suggesting that Angptl4 has a confined regulome. We identified interferon activated protein 202B (ifi202b) to be consistently upregulated in Angptl4-/- macrophages. . Pathway analysis further confirmed that ifi202b significantly impacted multiple gene networks involved in the cell fate of monocytes and the functions of monocyte-derived macrophages. Taken altogether, we conclude that Angptl4 orchestrates the inflammatory state, innate immune landscape, and healing process in the wound microenvironment via its transcriptional regulation on ifi202b.

Project description:Proteinases play a pivotal role in wound healing by degrading molecular barriers, regulating cell-matrix interactions and availability of bioactive molecules. Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13, collagenase-3) is a wide spectrum proteinase. Its expression and function is linked to the growth and invasion of many epithelial cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, the physiologic expression of MMP-13 is associated e.g. to scarless healing of human fetal skin and adult gingival wounds. While MMP-13 is not found in the normally healing skin wounds in human adults, it is expressed in mouse skin during wound healing. Thus, mouse wound healing models can be utilized for studying the role of MMP-13 in the events of wound healing. As the processes such as the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes, angiogenesis, inflammation and activation of fibroblasts are components of wound repair as well as of cancer, many results received from wound healing studies are also adaptable to cancer research. Classically, the process of wound healing can be devided into three phases which are histologically and functionally separate but temporally overlapping: 1) hemostasis and inflammation, 2) re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation, and 3) matrix remodeling. Granulation tissue is formed into the wound via fibroplasia, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition by fibroblasts. Granulation tissue is rich in inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts and blood vessels. After epidermal recovery, the granulation tissue is resolved via matrix remodeling and cell apoptosis. A sterile viscose cellulose sponge (VCS) characterized by defined size and structure can be used to experimentally induce formation of subcutaneous granulation tissue. Compared to normal granulation tissue, this model allows easy examination of the granulation tissue in its entirety but leaving out epidermal keratinocytes in the sample preparation. In this study, we studied the role of MMP-13 in the formation of mouse VCS-induced granulation tissue. We performed gene expression profiling of the granulation tissue samples of Mmp13-/- (KO) and wild type (WT) mice harvested at day 7, day 14 and day 21 after VCS implantation. Mmp13-/- (KO) mice were generated as described (Inada et al. 2004, PNAS, 101: 17192-17197) and used in these experiments after backcrossing at least seven generations into C57BL6 mice. The WT mice were generated from the backcrossed heterozygote Mmp13-/- (KO) mice. Granulation tissues were harvested at three time points (7d, 14d, 21d) from Mmp13-/- (KO) and WT mice. One sample of each mouse was analyzed (n=3, 7d; n=4, 14d; n=4, 21d; for each genotype). The samples were processed for RNA extraction and Affymetrix 3'IVT DNA microarray gene expression analysis.

Project description:The early phase of colonic epithelial wound healing involves cellular reprogramming to a fetal-like state and reorganization of discrete crypt units into merged wound channels. After re-epithelialization is complete, a latter phase restoring homeostatic signaling and crypt patterning must occur. However, the signals that mediate this regenerative transition are unknown. Here we show that injury-associated upregulation of a cytokine receptor, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 2 (R2, TNFR2, Tnfrsf1b), suppresses fetal-like signaling and promotes crypt production. We used tissue clearing and whole-mount imaging, RNA-Seq, and organoid cultures to characterize mice with a colonic epithelial-specific deletion of TNFR2. These mice exhibited increased crypt size and reduced fission in adult homeostasis and after colitis, abnormal persistence of fetal-like molecular markers in organoids and after injury, reduced terminal differentiation, and increased proliferative potential. These results demonstrate how epithelial cells can adapt to inflammatory cues to regulate wound healing morphogenesis and signaling.

Project description:Olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4) is an olfactomedin-domain-containing glycoprotein which regulates cell adhesion, proliferation, gastrointestinal inflammation, innate immunity and cancer metastasis. In the present study investigated its role in skin regeneration and wound healing. We found that OLFM4 expression is transiently upregulated in the proliferative phase of cutaneous wound healing in humans as well as in mice. Moreover, a significant increase in OLFM4 expression was detected in the skin of lesional psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. In vitro experiments demonstrated that OLFM4 can selectively stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and increase both keratinocyte and fibroblast migration ability. Using proteotransciptomic pathway analysis we revealed that transcription factors POU5F1/OCT4 and ESR1 acted as hubs for OLFM4-dependent signalling in keratinocytes. In vivo experiments utilizing mouse splinted full-thickness cutaneous wound healing model showed that application of recombinant OLFM4 protein can significantly improve wound healing time. Taken together, our results suggest that OLFM4 is a transiently upregulated inflammatory signal that promotes wound healing by supporting the functions of both dermal and epidermal cell compartments.

Project description:In tumors, extravascular fibrin forms provisional scaffolds for angiogenesis but is degraded by fibrinolysis and replaced with collagen in a process that resembles wound healing. We report that fibrin-mediated angiogenesis is inhibited and tumor growth is delayed following postnatal deletion of TGFβR2 in the endothelium (TGFβR2iECKO). TGFβR2iECKO endothelial cells (ECs) fail to up-regulate the fibrinolysis inhibitor Serpine1/PAI-1 due, in part, to uncoupled TGFβ-mediated suppression of miR-30c. Bypassing TGFβR signaling with vascular tropic nanoparticles that deliver miR-30c AntagomiRs is sufficient to promote PAI-1-dependent tumor growth and increase fibrin abundance whereas miR-30c Mimics inhibit tumor growth and promote vascular-directed fibrinolysis in vivo. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we also show that subtypes of ECs in tumors show a spectrum of Serpine1 and uPar (urokinase receptor) expression suggesting functional diversity in ECs at the level of individual cells; furthermore, fresh EC isolates from lung and mammary tumor models have differential abilities to degrade fibrin and launch new vessel sprouts which is linked to their inverse expression patterns of miR-30c and Serpine1 (i.e. miR-30chiSerpine1lo ECs are poorly angiogenic and miR-30cloSerpine1hi ECs are highly angiogenic). Thus, EC subtypes co-opt physiological processes such as wound healing by subverting a previously uncharacterized vascular-directed fibrinolytic pathway that supports tumor growth.

Project description:Adalimumab (ADA) is the only FDA-approved treatment for moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), whereas etanercept (ETN) and certolizumab-pegol (CZP) have been shown to be ineffective, suggesting that the mechanism of action of ADA is distinct in HS and may contribute to improved wound healing. Given that macrophages (Mφ) play pivotal roles throughout the wound healing process, an in-vitro Mφ differentiation assay was carried out to assess the impact of TNF-anti-TNF complexes on these cells. TNF-ADA complexes exhibited stronger inhibitory effects on inflammatory Mφ differentiation. Moreover, RNA sequencing revealed several unique wound healing profiles for TNF-ADA-treated inflammatory Mφs, which were not observed for those treated with either TNF-ETN or TNF-CZP, including the inhibition of the matrix metallopeptidase (MMP) pathway. In addition, ADA administration was found to significantly reduce the levels of inflammatory MMPs -1 and -9 while promoting wound healing MMP-13 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) levels in the circulation of those HS patients who responded to treatment. Our in-vitro findings demonstrate that TNF-ADA-treated inflammatory Mφs exhibit a distinct profile resembling wound healing. Moreover, ADA not only differentially regulates MMP expression in HS patients responding to the therapy but potentially induces a transition to a profile suggestive of wound healing.
