Hyaluronidase modulates inflammatory response and accelerates the cutaneous wound healing.

ABSTRACT: Hyaluronidases are enzymes that degrade hyaluronan an important constituent of the extracellular matrix. They have been used as a spreading agent, improving the absorption of drugs and facilitating the subcutaneous infusion of fluids. Here, we investigated the influence of bovine testes hyaluronidase (HYAL) during cutaneous wound healing in in vitro and in vivo assays. We demonstrated in the wound scratch assay that HYAL increased the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts in vitro at low concentration, e.g. 0.1 U HYAL enhanced the cell number by 20%. HYAL presented faster and higher reepithelialization in in vivo full-thickness excisional wounds generated on adult Wistar rats back skin already in the early phase at 2nd day post operatory compared to vehicle-control group. Wound closured area observed in the 16 U and 32 U HYAL treated rats reached 38% and 46% compared to 19% in the controls, respectively. Histological and biochemical analyses supported the clinical observations and showed that HYAL treated wounds exhibited increased granulation tissue, diminished edema formation and regulated the inflammatory response by modulating the release of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, growth factor and eicosanoids mediators. Moreover, HYAL increased gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) γ and PPAR β/δ, the collagen content in the early stages of healing processes as well as angiogenesis. Altogether these data revealed that HYAL accelerates wound healing processes and might be beneficial for treating wound disorders.

Naoxintong accelerates diabetic wound healing by attenuating inflammatory response.

Project description:ContextNaoxintong (NXT), a prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, widely used in cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, could be effective in diabetic wounds.ObjectiveThis study evaluates the wound healing activity of NXT by employing an excisional wound splinting model.Materials and methodsNXT was dissolved in saline and given daily by gavage. Wounds were induced at the dorsum of non-diabetic (db/+) and diabetic (db/db) mice and treated with saline or 700 mg/kg/d NXT for 16 days. Wound closure was measured every four days. Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, collagen deposition, leukocyte infiltration and expression of Col-3, CK14, CXCL1, CXCL2, MPO, Ly6G, CD68, CCR7, CD206, p-JAK1, p-STAT3 and p-STAT6 was analysed.ResultsNXT significantly accelerated rate of wound closure increased from 70% to 84%, accompanied by up-regulation of collagen deposition and ECM at days 16 post-injury. Moreover, NXT alleviated neutrophil infiltration, accompanied by down-regulation of CXCL1 and CXCL2 mRNA expression. In addition, NXT markedly augmented neutrophil efferocytosis. In diabetic wounds, the levels of M1 marker gene (CCR7) increased, while M2 marker gene (CD206) decreased, demonstrating a pro-inflammatory shift. Application of NXT increased M2 macrophage phenotype in db/db mice. Mechanistically, NXT treatment increased expression level of p-STAT3 and p-STAT6 at days 3 post-injury, indicating NXT mediated macrophages towards M2 phenotype and alleviated inflammation in diabetic wounds by activation of STAT3 and STAT6.ConclusionsOur study provides evidence that NXT accelerates diabetic wound healing by attenuating inflammatory response, which provides an important basis for use of NXT in the treatment of chronic diabetic wound healing.

A synthetic uric acid analog accelerates cutaneous wound healing in mice.

Project description:Wound healing is a complex process involving intrinsic dermal and epidermal cells, and infiltrating macrophages and leukocytes. Excessive oxidative stress and associated inflammatory processes can impair wound healing, and antioxidants have been reported to improve wound healing in animal models and human subjects. Uric acid (UA) is an efficient free radical scavenger, but has a very low solubility and poor tissue penetrability. We recently developed novel UA analogs with increased solubility and excellent free radical-scavenging properties and demonstrated their ability to protect neural cells against oxidative damage. Here we show that the uric acid analog (6, 8 dithio-UA, but not equimolar concentrations of UA or 1, 7 dimethyl-UA) modified the behaviors of cultured vascular endothelial cells, keratinocytes and fibroblasts in ways consistent with enhancement of the wound healing functions of all three cell types. We further show that 6, 8 dithio-UA significantly accelerates the wound healing process when applied topically (once daily) to full-thickness wounds in mice. Levels of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase were increased in wound tissue from mice treated with 6, 8 dithio-UA compared to vehicle-treated mice, suggesting that the UA analog enhances endogenous cellular antioxidant defenses. These results support an adverse role for oxidative stress in wound healing and tissue repair, and provide a rationale for the development of UA analogs in the treatment of wounds and for modulation of angiogenesis in other pathological conditions.

ICOSL Stimulation by ICOS-Fc Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing In Vivo.

Project description:BackgroundICOS and its ligand ICOSL are immune receptors whose interaction triggers bidirectional signals that modulate the immune response and tissue repair.AimThe aim of this study was to assess the in vivo effects of ICOSL triggering by ICOS-Fc, a recombinant soluble form of ICOS, on skin wound healing.MethodsThe effect of human ICOS-Fc on wound healing was assessed, in vitro, and, in vivo, by skin wound healing assay using ICOS-/- and ICOSL-/- knockout (KO) mice and NOD-SCID-IL2R null (NSG) mice.ResultsWe show that, in wild type mice, treatment with ICOS-Fc improves wound healing, promotes angiogenesis, preceded by upregulation of IL-6 and VEGF expression; increases the number of fibroblasts and T cells, whereas it reduces that of neutrophils; and increases the number of M2 vs. M1 macrophages. Fittingly, ICOS-Fc enhanced M2 macrophage migration, while it hampered that of M1 macrophages. ICOS-/- and ICOSL-/- KO, and NSG mice showed delayed wound healing, and treatment with ICOS-Fc improved wound closure in ICOS-/- and NSG mice.ConclusionThese data show that the ICOS/ICOSL network cooperates in tissue repair, and that triggering of ICOSL by ICOS-Fc improves cutaneous wound healing by increasing angiogenesis and recruitment of reparative macrophages.

Combination of adrenomedullin with its binding protein accelerates cutaneous wound healing.

Project description:Cutaneous wound continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in the setting of diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Despite advances in wound care management, there is still an unmet medical need exists for efficient therapy for cutaneous wound. Combined treatment of adrenomedullin (AM) and its binding protein-1 (AMBP-1) is protective in various disease conditions. To examine the effect of the combination treatment of AM and AMBP-1 on cutaneous wound healing, full-thickness 2.0-cm diameter circular excision wounds were surgically created on the dorsum of rats, saline (vehicle) or AM/AMBP-1 (96/320 μg kg BW) was topically applied to the wound daily and wound size measured. At days 3, 7, and 14, skin samples were collected from the wound sites. AM/AMBP-1 treated group had significantly smaller wound surface area than the vehicle group over the 14-day time course. At day 3, AM/AMBP-1 promoted neutrophil infiltration (MPO), increased cytokine levels (IL-6 and TNF-α), angiogenesis (CD31, VEGF and TGFβ-1) and cell proliferation (Ki67). By day 7 and 14, AM/AMBP-1 treatment decreased MPO, followed by a rapid resolution of inflammation characterized by a decrease in cytokines. At the matured stage, AM/AMBP-1 treatment increased the alpha smooth muscle actin expression (mature blood vessels) and Masson-Trichrome staining (collagen deposition) along the granulation area, and increased MMP-9 and decreased MMP-2 mRNA expressions. TGFβ-1 mRNA levels in AM/AMBP-1 group were 5.3 times lower than those in the vehicle group. AM/AMBP-1 accelerated wound healing by promoting angiogenesis, collagen deposition and remodeling. Treatment also shortened the days to reach plateau for wound closure. Thus, AM/AMBP-1 may be further developed as a therapeutic for cutaneous wound healing.

Clearance of p21-highly-expressing senescent cells accelerates cutaneous wound healing

Project description:Targeting senescent cells for therapeutic purposes is gaining momentum across various organ systems. However, concerns about potential off-target effects have been raised. Previous studies have shown that removing senescent cells expressing high levels of p16 (p16high) can hinder processes like wound healing. Here, we identify a distinct senescent cell population during dermal wound healing characterized by high expression level of p21 (p21high) using the p21-Cre mouse model. Using a standard cutaneous injury model, we find that eliminating p21high cells can expedite wound closure, in contrast to the effects of removing p16high cells. Through Xenium, a single cell spatial imaging platform, we show that p21high cells are distinct from p16high cells, with p21high cells mainly comprising fibroblasts, immune cells, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells with a pro-inflammatory profile. Moreover, inhibition of NF-kB signaling specifically from p21high cells partially contributes to the accelerated wound healing rates. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of senescent cells during wound healing responses within the skin and likely in other conditions.

ANT2 accelerates cutaneous wound healing in aged skin by reverse senescence

Project description:An effective healing response is critical to healthy aging. Thus, the connection of regeneration and aging is needed to understand the complicated age-related healing process. Energy metabolism has been a common hallmark of both studies. In recent years, it become an emerging factor of skin homeostasis. Adenine nucleotide translocase-2 (ANT2) is a known cell proliferation marker and mediator of ATP import into mitochondria for energy homeostasis. Although energy homeostasis and the maintenance of mitochondrial function are critical for wound healing, the role of ANT2 in wound healing has not been elucidated. We found that ANT2 expression decreased during aging in mouse skin as well as during cellular senescence. Interestingly, overexpression of ANT2 in aged mouse skin promoted the healing of full-thickness cutaneous wounds. In addition, upregulation of ANT2 in replicative senescent human diploid dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) induced cell proliferation and migration, which are critical for the wound healing process. Furthermore, overexpression of ANT2 increased ATP production rate by activating the glycolysis pathway and also increased mitophagy, both of which are involved in energy homeostasis. Notably, ANT2-mediated upregulation of HSPA6 in aged HDFs inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory genes that mediate cellular senescence and mitochondrial damage. This study demonstrates a new physiological role of ANT2 in skin wound healing via regulation of cell proliferation, energy homeostasis, and inflammation. Thus, our study links energy metabolism to skin homeostasis and identifies a genetic factor for improving wound healing with aging model.

Estrogen modulates cutaneous wound healing by downregulating macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

Project description:Characteristic of both chronic wounds and acute wounds that fail to heal are excessive leukocytosis and reduced matrix deposition. Estrogen is a major regulator of wound repair that can reverse age-related impaired wound healing in human and animal models, characterized by a dampened inflammatory response and increased matrix deposited at the wound site. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a candidate proinflammatory cytokine involved in the hormonal regulation of inflammation. We demonstrate that MIF is upregulated in a distinct spatial and temporal pattern during wound healing and its expression is markedly elevated in wounds of estrogen-deficient mice as compared with intact animals. Wound-healing studies in mice rendered null for the MIF gene have demonstrated that in the absence of MIF, the excessive inflammation and delayed-healing phenotype associated with reduced estrogen is reversed. Moreover, in vitro assays have shown a striking estrogen-mediated decrease in MIF production by activated murine macrophages, a process involving the estrogen receptor. We suggest that estrogen inhibits the local inflammatory response by downregulating MIF, suggesting a specific target for future therapeutic intervention in impaired wound-healing states.

FoxO3a depletion accelerates cutaneous wound healing by regulating epithelial?mesenchymal transition through ??catenin activation.

Project description:The hysteresis of keratinocyte (KC) re?epithelialization is an important factor resulting in chronic wounds; however, the molecular mechanisms involved in this cellular response remain yet to be completely elucidated. The present study demonstrated the function of transcription factor Forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a) in KC growth and migration functional effects, resulting in restrained KC re?epithelialization during wound healing. In chronic wound tissue samples, the expression of FoxO3a was significantly increased when compared with the acute wound healing group (P<0.01). Overexpressing FoxO3a significantly inhibited, whereas silencing endogenous FoxO3a enhanced, the growth and migration of HaCaT cells in vitro. Further investigation revealed that FoxO3a negatively regulated matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 9, and increased the expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1. In addition, the upregulation of FoxO3a retarded, whereas the downregulation of FoxO3a accelerated, transforming growth factor??1?induced epithelial?mesenchymal transition in HaCaT cells. Mechanistically, the overexpression of FoxO3a inactivated ??catenin signaling and markedly reduced the levels of nuclear ??catenin. These results reveal a novel mechanism of FoxO3a in regulating KC re?epithelialization, and provide novel targets for the prevention and treatment of chronic wounds.

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing via Glycolysis and Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling.

Project description:Cutaneous wound healing is a complex and dynamic process with high energy demand. The activation of glycolysis is essential for restoring the structure and function of injured tissues in wounds. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the last step of glycolysis. PKM2-mediated glycolysis is known to play an important role in diseases related to regeneration and inflammation. However, the role of PKM2 in wound healing has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we found that PKM2 expression and pyruvate kinase (PK) activity were increased with the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling during wound healing in mice. TEPP-46, an allosteric activator of PKM2, enhanced HaCaT human keratinocyte migration and cutaneous wound healing with an increment of PK activity. Moreover, we confirmed the effect of co-treatment with TEPP-46 and KY19382, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling activator through the interference with the CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5) Dishevelled interaction, on wound healing. The combination treatment significantly accelerated wound healing, which was confirmed by the expression level of PCNA, keratin 14, and α-SMA. Furthermore, co-treatment induced angiogenesis in the wound beds. Overall, activation of both glycolysis and Wnt/β-catenin signaling has the potential to be used as a therapeutic approach for wound healing.

KY19382 Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing via Activation of the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway.

Project description:The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays important roles in the multi-phases of wound healing: homeostasis, inflammation, proliferative, and remodeling phases. However, there are no clinically available therapeutic agents targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In this study, we tested the effect of 5, 6-dichloroindirubin-3'-methoxime (KY19382), a small molecule that activates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway via interference with the function of the negative feedback regulator CXXC5, on cutaneous wound healing. KY19382 significantly enhanced cell migration of human keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts with increased levels of β-catenin, phalloidin, Keratin 14, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Collagen I, and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway without causing significant cytotoxicity. In addition, levels of Collagen I, Keratin 14, PCNA, and stem cell markers were significantly increased by KY19382 in a cutaneous murine wound healing model. Moreover, KY19382 treatment accelerated re-epithelialization and neo-epidermis formation with collagen deposition and stem cell activation at an early stage of cutaneous wound healing. Overall, KY19382 accelerates wound healing via activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and may have the potential to be used for the development of a new wound healing agent.
