Self-Limiting AAV-Mediated FGF7 Expression Promoters Re-epithelialization and Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing

ABSTRACT: The skin serves as a vital barrier against external damage. Severe wounds, particularly chronic ones, compromise this barrier, which can result in infection, pain, disfigurement and life-threatening complications. However, there are limited pharmacological interventions that can substantially enhance wound healing. Gene therapy offers a promising strategy by enabling the sustained local expression of therapeutic factors. In this study, we demonstrate that the AAV-DJ vector efficiently delivers genes to dermal cells, where transgene expression exhibits a self-limiting profile characterized by robust expression during wound healing, followed by a rapid decline after cell proliferation and wound closure. Furthermore, we show that AAV-mediated delivery of the fibroblast growth factors Fgf1, Fgf2 and Fgf7 (KGF) significantly accelerates wound closure, with Fgf7 having the most pronounced effect. Mechanistically, dermally expressed FGF7 promotes keratinocyte proliferation and migration in a paracrine manner, thereby enhancing re-epithelialization. Furthermore, the downstream factor SFN (Stratifin, 14-3-3σ) was identified as a partial mediator of the pro-healing effects of FGF7. Taken together, these results demonstrate the efficacy and safety of AAV-mediated gene delivery in promoting wound healing and provide a foundation for extending gene therapy applications to other skin disorders.

Lgr6 marks epidermal stem cells with a nerve-dependent role in wound re- epithelialization

Project description:Stem cells support the lifelong maintenance of adult organs but their specific roles during injury are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that Lgr6 marks a regionally restricted population of epidermal stem cells that interact with nerves and specialize in wound re-epithelialization. Diphtheria toxin-mediated ablation of Lgr6 stem cells delays wound healing, and skin denervation phenocopies this effect. Using intravital imaging to capture stem cell dynamics after injury, we show that wound re-epithelialization by Lgr6 stem cells is diminished following the loss of nerves. This induces the recruitment of other stem cell populations, including hair follicle stem cells, which partially compensate to mediate the wound closure. Single-cell lineage tracing and gene expression analysis reveal that the fate of Lgr6 stem cells is shifted towards differentiation following the loss of their niche. We conclude that Lgr6 epidermal stem cells are primed for injury response and interact with nerves to regulate their fate

New mechanisms for oral epithelial basal stem cell plasticity during re-epithelialization after injury

Project description:The oral mucosa undergoes daily insults and stem cells in the epithelial basal cell layer are required to regenerate gingiva tissue to maintain oral health. The Iroquois Homeobox 1 (IRX1/Irx1) protein is expressed in the stem cell niches in human/mouse oral epithelium and mesenchyme under homeostasis. We found that Irx1+/- heterozygous (Het) mice have delayed wound closure, delayed morphological changes of regenerated epithelium, as well as defective keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation during wound healing. RNA-seq analyses between wildtype and Irx1+/- mice at 3 days post injury (dpi), found impaired epithelial migration and decreased keratinocyte-related genes upon injury. Irx1 expressing cells are found in the gingival epithelial basal cell layer, a stem cell niche for gingival maintenance. Irx1 expressing cells are also found in cell niches in the underlying stroma. Irx1 activates Sox9 in the transient amplifying layer to increase cell proliferation and EGF signaling is activated to induce cell migration. Krt14CreERT lineage tracing experiments reveal defects in the stratification of the Irx1+/- heterozygous mouse oral epithelium. Irx1 is primed at the base of the gingiva in the basal cell layer of the oral epithelium, facilitating rapid and scarless wound healing through activating Sox9 and the EGF signaling pathway.

CXCR2 knockout promotes skin and hair regeneration without scarring

Project description:Mammals heal faster with imperfect fibrotic scars, while amphibians regenerate slower with scarless wound healing. These observations support the prevailing paradigm that speed of wound closure is inversely related to repair quality. Here we find evidence that this is a false trade-off. In multiple injury models, mice lacking CXCR2 (CXCR2-KO) globally improved both speed and quality of skin wound healing, including hair regeneration. We found CXCR2 primarily expressed in neutrophils, and injury induced neutrophils to secrete neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Mice engineered to be specifically deficient in myeloid CXCR2 or NET production partially recreated the phenotype with improved early speed of wound closure. Thus, CXCR2+ neutrophils regulate the speed of wound closure.

Analysis of gene expression in zebrafish cornea during wound healing

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.

Alcaligenes faecalis corrects aberrant matrix metalloproteinase expression to promote re-epithelialization of diabetic wounds

Project description:Chronic wounds are a common and costly complication of diabetes, where multifactorial defects contribute to dysregulated skin repair, inflammation, tissue damage, and infection. We previously showed that aspects of the diabetic foot ulcer microbiota were correlated with poor healing outcomes, but many microbial species recovered remain uninvestigated with respect to wound healing. Here we focused onAlcaligenes faecalis, a Gram-negative bacterium that is frequently recovered from chronic wounds but rarely causes infection. Treatment of diabetic wounds withA. faecalisaccelerated healing during early stages. We investigated the underlying mechanisms and found thatA. faecalistreatment promotes re-epithelialization of diabetic keratinocytes, a process which is necessary for healing but deficient in chronic wounds. Overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases in diabetes contributes to failed epithelialization, and we found thatA. faecalistreatment balances this overexpression to allow proper healing. This work uncovers a mechanism of bacterial-driven wound repair and provides a foundation for the development of microbiota-based wound interventions.

Setd2 Epidermal Deficiency Promotes Cutaneous Wound Healing via Activation of AKT/mTOR Signaling (ChIP-Seq)

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.

Evaluation of the Effects of Sumac (Rhus coriaria) Extract-Loaded Ethosomes on a Wound Healing in vitro Model

Project description:Wound healing involves a series of complex bioprocesses, including repairing skin damage, maintaining its barrier feature, and preserving all other skin functions. Since the skin is the primary organ exposed to external factors, these bioprocesses can be interrupted by potential exogenous toxicants. Efforts to mitigate the effects of these toxicants can help to accelerate the healing process, facilitating complete wound recovery. In this context, sumac (Rhus coriaria) extract, rich in polyphenolic with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can be exploited to overcome oxidant and inflammation-dependent burdens. Ethosomes, lipid-based intradermal delivery vehicles, have been selected for the delivery of sumac extract, as they enhance penetration through the skin layers. Considering their remarkable flexibility and deformability, ethosomes can minimize drug leakage even under harmful penetration conditions. Given the diverse bioactive content of sumac extract, ethosomes have been considered ideal for delivering both hydrophilic and lipophilic active compounds. Sumac extract (SuExt)-loaded ethosomes (SuExt-ethosomes) were therefore produced and characterized. These nanocarriers demonstrated significant cellular internalization and cytocompatibility in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), along with excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. A comprehensive investigation, supported by proteomic analysis, revealed that the SuExt-ethosomes present promising wound healing potential, supporting future investigations in pre-clinical models.

Angiogenin derived from ABCB5+ mesenchymal stem cells improves diabetic wound via enhancing angiogenesis

Project description:Severe angiopathy has been postulated as a major driver for diabetes associated secondary complications. So far the knowledge on underlying mechanisms and thereon based therapeutic options to attenuate these pathologies are limited. Here we systematically administered ABCB5+ MSCs for the treatment of chronic non-healing diabetic wounds employing db/db mice, a type II diabetes model as their number markedly declined during diabetes. We found that administration of ABCB5+ MSCs markedly accelerates wound closure in diabetic db/db mice as opposed to the vehicle treated control group. Strikingly, administration of ABCB5+ MSCs at the edges of the diabetic wounds triggered considerable neoangiogenesis, most likely by the releasing a Ribonuclease angiogenin that was identified through secretome analysis of ABCB5+ MSCs. Interestingly, silencing of angiogenin in ABCB5+ MSCs significantly delayed wound closure in diabetic db/db mice indicating its key role in skin regeneration. Moreover, angiogenin also impacted the polarization of macrophages. The findings from this study will provide novel insight into the unique capacity of ABCB5+ MSCs to mount an adaptive response at the wound site with the delivery of angiogenic molecules holds significant promise for the therapy of non-healing diabetes foot ulcers, and other pathologies with impaired angiogenesis. The benefits for refined stem cell based therapies is virtually unlimited.
