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 db/db 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 TGFβ/NFκB 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.

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.

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:<p> Background: Diabetic foot tendon exposures are prone to infection, necrosis, and prolonged treatment cycles, not only hindering wound healing but potentially leading to amputation and life-threatening complications. Shengji ointment combined with bromelain has demonstrated preliminary efficacy in treating these wounds, but its mechanisms of action and impact on wound metabolites require further investigation.</p><p> Methods: Thirty patients with diabetic foot tendon exposure wounds received four-week treatment with Shengji ointment combined with bromelain. Clinical outcomes including granulation tissue coverage and wound healing rates were evaluated. Wound exudates collected pretreatment and posttreatment underwent metabolomics analysis to characterize treatment-induced metabolic changes.</p><p> Results: Following treatment, significant improvements were observed in granulation tissue coverage and wound healing rates compared to pretreatment baseline. Metabolomic profiling identified 4034 differential metabolites (1907 upregulated, 2127 downregulated), revealing significant alterations in key metabolic pathways including phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, tyrosine metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis pathways.</p><p> Conclusion: Shengji ointment combined with bromelain effectively promotes healing of diabetic foot wounds with tendon exposure through significant modulation of the wound metabolic environment, particularly via regulation of critical metabolic pathways. These metabolomics findings provide mechanistic insights supporting this treatment approach.</p>

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel mathematical model of wound healing in both normal and
diabetic cases is presented, focusing upon the effects of adding two currently
available commercial engineered skin substitute therapies to the wound
(Apligraf) and Dermagraft). Our work extends a previously developed model, which
considers inflammatory and repair macrophage dynamics in normal and diabetic
wound healing. Here, we extend the model to include equations for
platelet-derived growth factor concentration, fibroblast density, collagen
density, and hyaluronan concentration. This enables us to examine the variation
of these components in both normal and diabetic wound healing cases, and to
model the treatment protocols of these therapies. Within the context of our
model, we find that the key component to successful healing in diabetic wounds
is hyaluronan and that the therapies work by increasing the amount of hyaluronan
available in the wound environment. The time-to-healing results correlate with
those observed in clinical trials and the model goes some way to establishing an
understanding of why diabetic wounds do not heal, and how these treatments
affect the diabetic wound environment to promote wound closure.

Project description:MiR-132 is one of the most upregulated miRNAs in human skin wounds at the inflammatory phase of healing. MiR-132 inhibits inflammation but promotes growth of epidermal keratinocytes, indicating that it may facilitate the inflammatory-proliferative phase transition during wound repair. Following this line of research, here we evaluated the therapeutic potential of miR-132 in chronic wound using mouse in vivo wound model. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of skin wounds of leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice treated with miR-132 or control mimics. Db/db mouse has been used as a type 2 diabetic model with impaired wound healing capacity.

Project description:Objective This study aims to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture on chronic wounds associated with diabetes, particularly focusing on its potential mechanisms for enhancing wound healing through the promotion of angiogenesis. While acupuncture has been shown to improve wound healing by enhancing blood supply and vascular regeneration, the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture in diabetic chronic wounds have not been sufficiently addressed. Methods A diabetic skin ulcer mouse model was established for this study. The effects of electroacupuncture on wound healing were assessed through evaluation of skin healing rates, ELISA assays, and histopathological analyses. Additionally, a tissue transparency three-dimensional imaging technique was utilized to establish a vascular model of wounds on day 10, clarifying the impact of electroacupuncture on angiogenesis during the proliferation phase in diabetic mouse skin wound models. Proteomic analysis was conducted to identify potential targets and mechanisms by which electroacupuncture regulates diabetic wound healing, further validated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blotting (WB). Results The experimental results demonstrated that electroacupuncture significantly promotes wound healing in diabetic mice, reduces the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 during the inflammatory phase, decreases inflammatory cell infiltration, and increases collagen synthesis. Proteomic analysis indicated that electroacupuncture may facilitate diabetic wound healing by enhancing endothelial cell proliferation and modulating angiogenic morphogenesis. Furthermore, electroacupuncture was shown to upregulate the expression of CXCL12 and its co-localization with CXCR4, while promoting the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT, thereby enhancing the expression of VEGF and improving angiogenesis. Three-dimensional tissue transparency imaging provided comprehensive visual evidence of the angiogenic effects induced by electroacupuncture. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that electroacupuncture activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis to promote vascular regeneration, thereby improving the healing process of diabetic skin wounds in mice.
