The RING E3 Ligase RLIM Drives Oxidative Stress-Induced Stem Cell Dysfunction through MDM2-p53 Signaling

ABSTRACT: Chronic diabetic ulcers present a persistent challenge due to delayed wound healing. At the wound site, oxidative stress impairs stem cell survival and differentiation, accelerates senescence, and impairs autophagy. RLIM was identified as a critical regulator in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), where oxidative stress-induced RLIM upregulation leads to MDM2 degradation and stabilization of p53. Functionally, RLIM upregulation under oxidative stress inhibited autophagy, induced cellular senescence, and significantly impaired angiogenesis, cell migration, and immunomodulatory functions, ultimately hindering diabetic wound healing in vivo. These results highlight the RLIM-MDM2-p53 signaling axis as a pivotal pathway governing stem cell senescence and function under oxidative stress, offering promising therapeutic targets to enhance stem cell-based approaches for diabetic wound repair.

Oxidative stress-regulatory role of miR-10b-5p in the diabetic human cornea revealed through integrated multi-omics analysis

Project description:The corneal epithelium is maintained by limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) and are largely responsible for corneal optical transparency and protection by continuous population of corneal epithelial cells. Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been shown to affect all structures of the eye including the cornea which can result in delayed wound healing and potential vision loss. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding oligonucleotides that regulate various cellular functions, including oxidative stress response, by repressing translation. miR-10b-5p was previously identified to be upregulated in diabetic vs. non-diabetic limbal cells and our purpose was to understand the role of miR-10b-5p in human limbal epithelial cells in normal and pathological conditions such as diabetes mellitus. It was hypothesized that miR-10b-5p influences corneal epithelial homeostasis by modulating antioxidant defenses and wound healing processes. Through integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we identified GCLM and LANCL1 as key miR-10b-5p targets, revealing its profound impact on glutathione metabolism, sulfur compound biosynthesis processes, and antioxidant defenses. Our finding suggests that miR-10b suppression disrupts redox balance which potentially leads to heightened oxidative stress, impaired wound healing and increased cellular vulnerability in diabetic corneas. Further research into miR-10b inhibitors or gene modulation strategies may pave the way for novel treatments aimed at mitigating oxidative stress-related corneal dysfunction, particularly in diabetes-induced ocular diseases.

N6-methyladenosine modification of lnc-CCKAR-5 regulates autophagy in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells by destabilizing LMNA and inhibits diabetic wound healing

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs) are pivotal contributors to the development of human diseases. However, their significance in the context of diabetic wound healing regulated by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUCMSCs) remains unclear. This study sheds light on the involvement of lncCCKAR5 in this process. We found that hUCMSCs exposed to high glucose conditions exhibited a significant downregulation of lncCCKAR5 expression, and lncCCKAR5 played a critical role in modulating autophagy, thus inhibiting apoptosis in hUCMSCs. Additionally, the reduction of LncCCKAR5 in cells exposed to high glucose effectively thwarted cellular senescence and facilitated filopodium formation. Mechanistically, LncCCKAR5 served as a scaffold that facilitated the interaction between MKRN2 and LMNA, a key regulator of cytoskeletal function and autophagy. The LncCCKAR5/LMNA/MKRN2 complex played a pivotal role in promoting the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of LMNA, with this effect being further augmented by N6-adenosine methylation of LncCCKAR5. Consequently, our findings underscore the critical role of LncCCKAR5 in regulating the autophagic process in hUCMSCs, particularly through protein ubiquitination and degradation. This intricate regulatory network presents a promising avenue for potential therapeutic interventions in the context of diabetic wound healing involving hUCMSCs.

Integrated genomics and proteomics analysis uncovers the oxidative stress role of miR-10b targets in healthy and diabetic human limbal epithelial cells

Project description:The corneal epithelium is maintained by limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) and is largely responsible for corneal optical transparency and protection by continuously renewing population of corneal epithelial cells. Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects all structures of the eye including the cornea, which can result in delayed wound healing and potential vision loss. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding oligonucleotides that regulate various cellular functions, including oxidative stress response, by repressing protein translation. MiR-10b-5p was previously identified to be upregulated in diabetic vs. non-diabetic limbal cells, and our purpose was to understand the role of miR-10b-5p in human limbal epithelial cells in healthy and diabetic conditions. Through integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we identified GCLM and LANCL1 as key miR-10b-5p targets, revealing its profound impact on glutathione metabolism, sulfur compound biosynthesis processes, and antioxidant defenses. Our findings suggest that overexpression of miR-10b disrupts redox balance, which potentially leads to heightened oxidative stress and increased cellular vulnerability in diabetic corneas. Understanding miR-10b function in corneal epithelial cells may pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies to mitigate oxidative stress and normalize corneal health in diabetic patients.

Low Glucose Culture Environment Can Enhance the Wound Healing Capability of Diabetic Adipose-derived Stem Cells

Project description:Application of autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) for diabetic chronic wounds has become an emerging treatment option. However, ASCs from diabetic individuals showed impaired cell function and suboptimal wound healing effects. We proposed that adopting a low glucose level in the culture medium for diabetic ASCs may restore their pro-healing capabilities. ASCs from diabetic humans and mice were retrieved and cultured in high-glucose (HG, 4.5 g/L) or low-glucose (LG, 1.0 g/L) conditions. Cell characteristics and functions were investigated in vitro. Moreover, we applied diabetic murine ASCs cultured in HG or LG condition to a wound healing model in diabetic mice to compare their healing capabilities in vivo. Human ASCs exhibited decreased cell proliferation and migration with enhanced senescence when cultured in HG condition in vitro. Similar findings were noted in ASCs derived from diabetic mice. The inferior cellular functions could be partially recovered when they were cultured in LG condition. In the animal study, wounds healed faster when treated with HG or LG-cultured diabetic ASCs relative to the control group. Moreover, higher collagen density, more angiogenesis and cellular retention of applied ASCs were found in wound tissues treated with diabetic ASCs cultured in LG condition. In line with the literature, our study showed that a diabetic milieu exerts an adverse effect on ASCs. Adopting LG culture condition is a simple and effective approach to enhance the wound healing capabilities of diabetic ASCs, which is valuable for the clinical application of autologous ASCs from diabetic patients.

Smad7-based biologic targeting epidermis and stroma promotes healing of diabetic wounds in mice and pigs

Project description:Impaired healing of diabetic wounds causes significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify novel mechanisms of diabetic wound healing defects and test a therapeutic intervention using diabetic mouse and pig models. We found Smad7 transgene expression in mouse epidermis promoting wound healing in diabetic dbdb mice, with reductions in obesity and blood glucose. To isolate effects of Smad7 on wounds, we created a Smad7-based biologic (Tat-PYC-Smad7) that penetrates wound cells. Topical application of Tat-PYC-Smad7 to diabetic pig and mouse wounds accelerated healing compared to controls. RNAseq analysis of mouse wound samples showed reduced TGF/NFB signaling, leading to faster re-epithelialization and better extracellular matrix remodeling. Tat-PYC-Smad7 also attenuated neutrophil degranulation and NETosis by blocking histone 3 citrullination and inhibiting myeloperoxidase activities. Our study reveals that Tat-PYC-Smad7 promotes diabetic wound healing by targeting keratinocytes and neutrophils, providing insight into cellular mechanisms of diabetic wound healing defects targetable by Smad7-based therapy.

Oxygen-Tolerant Hydrogenase-Ag Nanoclusters-Peptide Hydrogel for Light-Driven H₂ Therapy in Diabetic Wound Healing

Project description:Diabetic wound healing is hindered by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), while conventional hydrogen (H₂) delivery methods lack localized efficacy. Escherichia coli [NiFe]-hydrogenase 2 (Hyd-2), though promising for H₂ production, suffers from oxygen sensitivity. Here, we engineer a peptide hydrogel (Fmoc-KYF-AgNCs) that shields Hyd-2 from oxygen inactivation, enabling sustained light-driven H₂ generation under aerobic conditions (retaining 80% activity after 12 hours). In vitro, the hydrogel scavenges ROS in LPS-stimulated macrophages, suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines, and enhances cell survival. In diabetic mice, the hydrogel accelerates wound closure (87% by day 11), reduces oxidative stress, promotes angiogenesis, and reprograms macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Transcriptomic profiling reveals downregulation of inflammatory pathways and upregulation of tissue repair genes. This oxygen-tolerant system bridges enzymatic catalysis with precision medicine, offering a translatable platform for diabetic wound therapy and expanding hydrogenase applications in oxidative stress-related disorders.

PDZK1 Protects Against RPE Senescence by Targeting the 14-3-3ε-mTOR Axis to Attenuate Early Diabetic Retinopathy

Project description:In diabetic retinopathy (DR), hyperglycemia induces retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell senescence via downregulation of PDZK1. PDZK1 overexpression counteracts senescence by binding 14-3-3ε to modulate mTOR signaling, reducing oxidative stress and enhancing autophagy. Both genetic PDZK1 restoration and pharmacologic senolysis (Nutlin-3a) attenuate retinal senescence and ameliorate early DR pathology, establishing the PDZK1-14-3-3ε-mTOR axis as a therapeutic target

Differentially Expressed Wound Healing-Related microRNAs in the Human Diabetic Cornea

Project description:MicroRNAs are powerful gene expression regulators, but their corneal repertoire and potential changes in corneal diseases remain unknown. Our purpose was to identify miRNAs altered in the human diabetic cornea by microarray analysis, and to examine their effects on wound healing in cultured telomerase-immortalized human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) in vitro. Using microarrays, 29 miRNAs were identified as differentially expressed in diabetic samples. Two miRNA candidates showing the highest fold increased in expression in the diabetic cornea were confirmed by Q-PCR and further characterized. HCEC transfection with h-miR-146a or h-miR-424 significantly retarded wound closure, but their respective antagomirs significantly enhanced wound healing vs. controls. Cells treated with h-miR-146a or h-miR-424 had decreased p-p38 and p-EGFR staining, but these increased over control levels close to the wound edge upon antagomir treatment. In conclusion, several miRNAs with increased expression in human diabetic central corneas were found. Two such miRNAs inhibited cultured corneal epithelial cell wound healing. Dysregulation of miRNA expression in human diabetic cornea may be an important mediator of abnormal wound healing. Total RNA was extracted from age-matched human autopsy normal (n=6) and diabetic (n=6) central corneas, Flash Tag end-labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix® GeneChip® miRNA Arrays. Select miRNAs associated with diabetic cornea were validated by quantitative RT-PCR (Q-PCR) and by in situ hybridization (ISH) in independent samples.
