Facile General Injectable Gelatin/Metal/Tea Polyphenol Double Nanonetworks Remodel Wound Microenvironment and Accelerate Healing.

ABSTRACT: Treating the most widespread complication of diabetes: diabetic wounds poses a significant clinical obstacle due to the intricate nature of wound healing in individuals with diabetes. Here a novel approach is proposed using easily applicable injectable gelatin/metal/tea polyphenol double nanonetworks, which effectively remodel the wound microenvironment and accelerates the healing process. The gelatin(Gel) crosslink with metal ions (Zr⁴⁺ ) through the amino acids, imparting advantageous mechanical properties like self-healing, injectability, and adhesion. The nanonetwork's biological functions are further enhanced by incorporating the tea polyphenol metal nanonetwork through in situ doping of the epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with great antibacterial, self-healing, antioxidant, and anticancer capabilities. The in vitro and in vivo tests show that this double nanonetworks hydrogel exhibits faster cell migration and favorable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can greatly reshape the microenvironment of diabetic wounds and accelerate the wound healing rate. In addition, this hydrogel is completely degraded after subcutaneous injection for 7 days, with nondetectable cytotoxicity in H&E staining of major mice organs and the serum level of liver function indicators. Considering the above-mentioned merits of this hydrogel, it is believed that the injectable gelatin/metal/tea polyphenol double nanonetworks have broad biomedical potential, especially in diabetic wound repair and tissue engineering.

Project description:BackgroundReactive oxygen species (ROS) are increased in diabetic conditions and play a causal role in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). We previously showed that ROS up-regulate miR-200c expression, that in turns causes apoptosis, senescence, ROS upregulation and nitric oxide decrease, leading to endothelial disfunction.MethodsThe aim of this study is to dissect miR-200c role in DFU and to explore the potential role of anti-miR-200c and antioxidant catalase (CAT) in promoting wound healing (WH). miR-200c inhibition and CAT treatment were performed either in immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) or in primary fibroblasts (FBs) and keratinocytes (KCs) deriving from diabetic patients (pts) undergoing amputations. Primary cells deriving from pts undergoing saphenectomies were used as controls. The miR-200c blockade was performed either via lentiviral particles bearing an anti-miR-200c sequence or locked nucleic acid (LNA) anti-miR-200c oligos. Equine CAT was administered on cell medium. The WH assay was performed in vivo on diabetic (db/db) mice by a topical treatment with CAT and LNA anti-miR-200c on wounds dissolved in a Pluronic gel mixture, administered every three days.ResultsWe found that miR-200c levels were increased by different stimuli known to induce ROS, such as ultraviolet radiation (UV), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and high glucose in HaCaT. miR-200c was also upregulated in skin biopsies, in FBs and KCs isolated from pts with DFU vs controls. Forced miR-200c expression induced ROS in both FBs and KCs, and CAT reduced it. miR-200c inhibition improved WH in HaCaT, both under basal conditions and after UV and H2O2 treatment, and the simultaneous treatment with CAT accelerated it. miR-200c inhibition accelerated WH in KCs of DFU pts, increasing its protein targets: sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), the transcription factors FOXO1 and ZEB1 and decreasing p66Shc phosphorylation at Ser-36, that is induced by ROS, and the co-treatment with CAT showed synergistic effects in reducing ROS and cytotoxicity. Interestingly, CAT treatment decreased miR-200c expression in FBs and KCs of DFU pts. Topical administration of anti-miR-200c and CAT in a WH model of diabetic mice accelerated closure.ConclusionsAnti-miR-200c and CAT could be considered a novel treatment for DFU and, possibly, for other types of non-diabetic skin ulcers.
