Biomolecular signatures of diabetic wound healing by structural mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Wound fluid is a complex biological sample containing byproducts associated with the wound repair process. Contemporary techniques, such as immunoblotting and enzyme immunoassays, require extensive sample manipulation and do not permit the simultaneous analysis of multiple classes of biomolecular species. Structural mass spectrometry, implemented as ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS), comprises two sequential, gas-phase dispersion techniques well suited for the study of complex biological samples because of its ability to separate and simultaneously analyze multiple classes of biomolecules. As a model of diabetic wound healing, poly(vinyl alcohol) sponges were inserted subcutaneously into nondiabetic (control) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats to elicit a granulation tissue response and to collect acute wound fluid. Sponges were harvested at days 2 or 5 to capture different stages of the early wound-healing process. Utilizing IM-MS, statistical analysis, and targeted ultraperformance liquid chromatography analysis, biomolecular signatures of diabetic wound healing have been identified. The protein S100-A8 was highly enriched in the wound fluids collected from day 2 diabetic rats. Lysophosphatidylcholine (20:4) and cholic acid also contributed significantly to the differences between diabetic and control groups. This report provides a generalized workflow for wound fluid analysis demonstrated with a diabetic rat model.

Project description:BackgroundWe recently reported the clinical safety profile of RJX, a well-defined intravenous GMP-grade pharmaceutical formulation of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory vitamins as active ingredients, in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03680105) (Uckun et al., Front. Pharmacol. 11, 594321. 10.3389/fphar.2020.594321). The primary objective of the present study was to examine the effects of GMP-grade RJX on wound and burn injury healing in diabetic rats.MethodsIn the present study, a rat model of T2DM was used that employs HFD in combination with a single injection of STZ intraperitoneally (i.p) at a moderate dose level (45 mg/kg). Anesthetized diabetic rats underwent full-thickness skin excision on the back or were subjected to burn injury via a heated brass probe and then started on treatments with normal saline (NS = vehicle) or RJX administered via intraperitoneal injections for three weeks.FindingsNotably, diabetic rats treated with the 1.25 mL/kg or 2.5 mL/kg RJX (DM+RJX groups) rapidly healed their wounds as fast as non-diabetic control rats. Inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis along with fibrin and cell debris on the epithelial layer persisted for up to 14 days in the DM+NS group but not in RJX-treated groups. The histopathological score of wound healing on days 7 and 14 was better in diabetic rats treated with RJX than diabetic rats treated with NS and comparable to the scores for non-diabetic healthy rats consistent with an accelerated healing process. The residual wound area of RJX-treated rats was significantly smaller than that of NS-treated diabetic rats at each evaluation time point (P<0.001). The accelerating effect of RJX on diabetic wound healing was dose-dependent. We obtained similar results in the burn injury model. Our results demonstrate that RJX - at a dose level >10-fold lower than its clinical maximum tolerated dose (MTD) - accelerates the healing of excision wounds as well burn injury in diabetic rats.
