Project description:In this project, we analysed the proteome of skin wounds to investigate whether a vitamin A-deficient diet influences the wound proteome. To achieve this, we conducted quantitative, unbiased proteomic analysis using data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometr using skin wounds lysates.

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: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: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:Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes characterized by increased inflammation and a slowed healing process for wounds. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) may act as an alarm to alert the immune system when released by epithelial barrier tissues during trauma or infection, exerting a broad range of protective effects in several diseases. The objective of this study was to examine the regenerative capabilities of IL-37 in improving the healing of diabetic wounds. Using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, we found that diabetic IL-37Tg mice showed a significantly accelerated healing process. In addition, IL-37 strongly suppressed MAPK signaling pathway by inhibiting phosphorylation of the P38 and ERK. Moreover, IL-37 reduced the expression of Nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) and mature IL-1β. These results thus indicated that IL-37 inhibition of IL-1β production is mediated by suppressing the initial priming step and by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Taken together, our findings demonstrated the promising regulatory activity of IL-37 against IL-1β production and indicated that IL-37 has the potential to be effective as a novel therapeutic agent for treatment of wound. Our data indicate a beneficial effect of IL-37 in diabetic wounds, suggesting a therapeutic potential for this cytokine in diabetic ulcer management.

Project description:Objective: Ionizing radiation (IR) therapy, commonly used in cancer treatment, has detrimental effects on the skin. When combined with surgical resection, IR leads to persistent wounds and forms a significant side effect, making wound healing difficult. This study aimed to understand the mechanisms underlying IR-induced wound damage and develop treatment methods. Approach: A mouse model of IR was created by exposing mice to 7Gy of radiation after skin excision. The temporal changes of epidermal stem cells (EPSCs) and wound healing were examined. RNA-seq analysis was performed on skin tissues to investigate regulatory mechanisms during the healing process. Topical application of TGFβ was used to assess its impact on wound healing. Results: Mice in the IR group exhibited prolonged wound healing time, and the healing rate was significantly reduced. IR exposure decreased Ki67+/K14+ cells (proliferating EPSCs), reduced the expression levels of K14 and K15. The RNA-seq results revealed a significant decrease in epidermal stem cell-related genes following IR. Additionally, the TGFβ-SMAD pathway exhibited temporal changes during the wound healing process, while pre-treatment with TGFβ1 significantly promotes the healing of IR-induced wounds. Innovation: TGF-β1 activated the TGFβ-SMAD pathway and promotes wound healing after ionizing radiation. Conclusions: These findings indicate that IR diminishes the population of epidermal stem cells (EPSCs), thereby impeding the healing process by disrupting the TGFβ-Smad pathway. However, the external application of TGFβ1 to the wound area effectively improves IR-induced skin damage and exhibits promising therapeutic effects. These findings provide intervention targets and agents for the clinical applications.

Project description:Ageing-related delays in wound healing are well-documented in both human and animal models. However, the mechanisms underlying this impairment in healing progression are not fully understood. In this study, we characterised ageing-associated changes to the structure and function of the skin in young and aged mice and investigated the cellular differences that impacted the progression of wound healing. Full-thickness wounds created on the dorsum of C57BL/6J young and aged mice were excised on Day 0, Day 3 and Day 7 post-wounding for analysis by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, RNA sequencing. Our data revealed that macrophages were significantly reduced in aged wounds in comparison to young. Functional transcriptomic analyses showed that macrophages from aged wounds exhibited significantly reduced expression of cell cycle, DNA replication, and repair pathway genes. Furthermore, we uncovered an elevated pro-inflammatory gene expression program in the aged macrophages linked to poor inflammation resolution and excessive tissue damage observed in aged wounds. Altogether, our work provides insights into how poorly healing aged wounds are phenotypically defined by the presence of macrophages with reduced proliferative capacity and an exacerbated inflammatory response, both of which are pathways that can be targeted to improve healing in the elderly.

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.
