Project description:Impaired skin wound healing is a significant global health issue, especially among the elderly. Wound healing is a well-orchestrated process involving the sequential phases of inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling. Although wound healing is a highly dynamic and energy-requiring process, the role of metabolism remains largely unexplored. By combining transcriptomics and metabolomics of human skin biopsy samples, we mapped the core bioenergetic and metabolic changes in normal acute as well as chronic wounds in elderly subjects. We found upregulation of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, glutaminolysis, and β-oxidation in the later stages of acute wound healing and in chronic wounds. To ascertain the role of these metabolic pathways on wound healing, we targeted each pathway in a wound healing assay as well as in a human skin explant model using metabolic inhibitors and stimulants. Enhancement or inhibition of glycolysis and, to a lesser extent, glutaminolysis had a far greater impact on wound healing than similar manipulations of oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid β-oxidation. These findings increase the understanding of wound metabolism and identify glycolysis and glutaminolysis as potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

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.

Project description:When compared to skin, oral mucosal wounds heal rapidly and with reduced scar formation. This study used an Affymetrix microarray platform to compare the transcriptomes of oral mucosa and skin wounds in order to identify critical differences in the healing response at these two sites. Using microarrays, we explored the differences in gene expression in skin and oral mucosal wound healing in a murine model of paired equivalent-sized wounds. Samples were examined from day 0 to day 10 and spanned all stages of the wound healing process. Unwounded matched tissue was used as a control. Tissue samples collected at each post-wounding time point, as well as control samples, were represented by 3 biological replicates.

Project description:Circulating miRNAs constitute a novel class of disease biomarkers, which are altered in diabetes but the effect of diabetes associated inflammation as seen in chronic wounds is unknown. We here compared the miRNA pattern in diabetic patients in presence or absence of chronic wound with PAD. The clinical plasma samples were obtained from Heart and Diabetes centre, NRW and compared for plasma miRNA levels in 2 pools of 17 T2DM+PAD+Wound patients vs 2 pools from 20 T2DM controls

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:To study early-onset gene expression changes in cutaneous wound healing, 3 mm wounds were induced into the back skin of female wildtype C57BL/6 mice using a biopsy punch. Mice were sacrificed 2h, 6h or 24h post wound induction (PWI) and 1 - 1.5 mm of skin lining the wound edge was isolated and sequenced. The skin from the initial punch biopsy (0h PWI) was preserved and taken as a control sample to identify differentially expressed genes.

Project description:Wound healing is a multi-step process to rapidly restore barrier function. This process is often impaired in diabetic patients resulting in chronic wounds and amputation. We previously found that paradoxical activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway via topical administration of the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib accelerates wound healing by activating keratinocyte proliferation and reepithelialization pathways in healthy mice. Herein, we investigated whether this wound healing acceleration also occurs in impaired diabetic wounds and found that topical vemurafenib not only improves wound healing in a murine diabetic wound model, but unexpectedly promotes hair follicle regeneration. Neogenic hair follicles expressing Sox-9, CD34 and K15 were found in wounds of diabetic and non-diabetic mice, and their formation can be prevented by blocking downstream MEK signaling. Thus, topically applied BRAF inhibitors may accelerate wound healing, and promote the restoration of improved skin architecture in both normal and impaired wounds.

Project description:In order to clarify the human response of re-epithelialization, we biopsied split-thickness skin graft donor site wounds immediately before and after harvesting, as well as during the healing process 3 and 7 days thereafter. Altogether 25 biopsies from 8 patients qualified for the study. All samples were analysed by genome-wide microarrays. Here we identified the genes associated with normal skin re-epithelialization on time-scale, and organized them by similarities according to their induction or suppression patterns during wound healing. Overall 25 samples were analyzed

Project description:Purpose: To explore the changes of genes expression in different time points during mouse wound healing. Two wounds tissue from one animal were pooled, three animals were used per time point. The wounds tissue was collected on day 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 after cutting. Skin was cleaned of muscle and fat tissue; total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy mini kits (Qiagen), purified using Direct-zol RNA MiniPrep kit (Zymo Research). Next-generation libraries were prepared using the VAHTS TM mRNA-seq V2 Library Prep Kit for Illumina (Vazyme, #NR601). RNA-seq libraries were run on an Illumina HiSeq X-Ten next-generation sequencer. Analysis of RNA-seq data was done using the DESeq package in R.
