Project description:Effective therapy of wounds is difficult, especially for chronic, non-healing wounds, and novel therapeutics are urgently needed. This challenge can be addressed with bioactive wound dressings providing a microenvironment and facilitating cell proliferation and migration, ideally incorporating actives which initiate and/or progress effective healing upon release. In this context, electrospun scaffolds loaded with growth factors emerged as promising wound dressings due to their biocompatibility, similarity to the extracellular matrix and potential for controlled drug release. In this study, electrospun core-shell fibers were designed composed of a combination of polycaprolactone and polyethylene oxide. Insulin, a proteohormon with growth factor characteristics, was successfully incorporated into the core and was released in a controlled manner. The fibers exhibited favorable mechanical properties and a surface guiding cell migration for wound closure in combination with a high uptake capacity for wound exudate. Biocompatibility and significant wound healing effects were shown in interaction studies with human skin cells. As a new approach, analysis of the wound proteome in treated ex vivo human skin wounds clearly demonstrated a remarkable increase in wound healing biomarkers. Based on these findings, insulin-loaded electrospun wound dressings bear a high potential as effective wound healing therapeutics overcoming current challenges in the clinics.

Project description:Skin wound healing is one of the major prevalent medical problems in the worldwide. Wound healing involves multi-process synergy and re-epithelialization is an essential part of wound healing. Histone H3K36 tri-methylase Setd2 has been extensively studied in different biological processes and diseases. However, the function of Setd2 in the wound healing remains unclear. To elucidate the biological role of Setd2 in the skin wound healing, conditional gene targeting was employed to establish epidermis-specific Setd2-deficient mice. We found that Setd2 deficiency resulted in accelerated re-epithelialization during cutaneous wound healing by promoting keratinocytes proliferation and migration. Furthermore, we demonstrated that loss of Setd2 activated the AKT/mTOR pathway, and pharmacological inhibitions of AKT and mTOR with MK2206 and rapamycin delayed wound closure, respectively. In conclusion, our results reveal the essential role of Setd2 in skin wound healing that is Setd2 loss promotes cutaneous wound healing via activation of AKT/mTOR signaling.

Project description:Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the major complications in type II diabetes patients and can result in amputation and morbidity. Although multiple approaches are used clinically to help wound closure, many patients still lack adequate treatment. Here we show that IL-20 subfamily cytokines are upregulated during normal wound healing. While there is a redundant role for each individual cytokine in this subfamily in wound healing, mice deficient in IL-22R, the common receptor chain for IL-20, IL-22, and IL-24, display a significant delay in wound healing. Furthermore, IL-20, IL-22 and IL-24 are all able to promote wound healing in type II diabetic db/db mice. When compared to other growth factors such as VEGF and PDGF that accelerate wound healing in this model, IL-22 uniquely induced genes involved in reepithelialization, tissue remodeling and innate host defense mechanisms from wounded skin. Interestingly, IL-22 treatment showed superior efficacy compared to PDGF or VEGF in an infectious diabetic wound model. Taken together, our data suggest that IL-20 subfamily cytokines, particularly IL-20, IL-22, and IL-24, might provide therapeutic benefit for patients with DFU.

Project description:Mice were wounded and measured for regeneration starting 4 days after wound closure with simultaneous measurement of hair follicle neogenesis and biopsing. At each time point, RNA was collected from one mouse with high number of regenerated follicles and one without regenerated follicles. Whole skin biopsies of wound scars were submitted for Affymetrix Exon arrays. 3 replicates of mice with high number of regenerated follicles, 3 replicates of mice with no regenerated follicles; each pair taken at a different date after wound closure.

Project description:The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) kinase 1 (MEKK1), also known as MAP3K1, mediates activin B (ActB) signals required for eyelid epithelium morphogenesis during mouse fetal development. The present study investigates the role of MEKK1 in epithelial wound healing, another activin-regulated biological process. In a skin wound model, injury markedly stimulates MEKK1 expression and activity, which are in turn required for the expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis. MEKK1 ablation or down-regulation by interfering RNA significantly delays skin wound closure and impairs activation of Jun NH2-terminal kinases, induction of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1, and restoration of cell-cell junctions of the wounded epidermis. Conversely, expression of wild-type MEKK1 accelerates reepithelialization of full-thickness skin and corneal debridement wounds by mechanisms involving epithelial cell migration, a cell function that is partially abolished by neutralizing antibodies for PAI-1 and metalloproteinase III. Our data suggest that MEKK1 transmits wound signals, leading to the transcriptional activation of genes involved in ECM homeostasis, epithelial cell migration, and wound reepithelialization.

Project description:The cornea, transparent and outermost structure of camera-type eyes, is prone to environmental challenges, but has remarkable wound healing capabilities which enables to preserve vision. The manner in which cell plasticity impacts wound healing remains to be determined. In this study, we report rapid wound closure after zebrafish corneal epithelium abrasion. Furthermore, by investigating the cellular and molecular events taking place during corneal epithelial closure, we show the induction of a bilateral response to a unilateral wound. Our transcriptomic results, together with our TGF-beta receptor inhibition experiments, demonstrate conclusively the crucial role of TGF-beta signaling in corneal wound healing. Finally, our results on Pax6 expression and bilateral wound healing, demonstrate the decisive impact of epithelial cell plasticity on the pace of healing. Altogether, our study describes terminally differentiated cell competencies in the healing of an injured cornea. These findings will enhance the translation of research on cell plasticity to organ regeneration.

Project description:Mice were wounded and skin samples of the scar collected on the day of wound closure. We compared Mixed mice (B6/FVB/SJL), a strain of high regeneration, versus C57bl mice, a strain of low regeneration. Whole skin biopsies of wound scars were submitted for Affymetrix Exon arrays. 4 mice each of 2 distinct strains of differing regeneration levels were collected.

Project description:Human in vivo skin wound: Non-wounded skin was obtained by taking punch biopsies from three healthy donors (donor 1,2 and 3). The samples were termed 'skin day 0 in vivo wound'. Skin wound samples were retrieved by making new punch biopsies from the edge of the original biopsies after four days. These samples were termed 'skin day 4 in vivo wound'. As much dermal tissue as possible was removed by dissection to make sure mainly epidermis was present in the samples. The samples were washed in NaCl to possible remove infiltrating inflammatory cells before RNA isolation. Ex vivo skin wounds: Skin was obtained from three healthy donors following reduction surgery (donor 1, 2, and 3). As much dermal tissue as possible was removed dissection. These samples were termed 'skin day 0 ex vivo wound'. Skin was sliced into 1x10 mm slices and incubated in keratinocyte medium for four days with either 1:1000 fold dilution of DMSO or 10 micromolar AG-1478 (dissolved in DMSO). Again as much dermal tissue was removed by dissection as possible before RNA was isolated. These samples were termed 'skin day 4 ex vivo wound' and 'skin day 4 AG-1478 ex vivo wound'. By comparing the gene expression day 4 in ex vivo wound with in vivo wounds it was possible to see which part of the gene expression in wounded skin that was due to the epidermal reaction to injury and how much was due to stimuli from infiltrating inflammatory cells absent in the ex vivo skin wounds. By comparing the data from ex vivo skin wounds day 4 with and without the EGFR-inhibitor AG-1478, it was possible to look at the importance of the EGF-receptor of EGFR for the gene expression in ex vivo wounded skin.
