Photobiomodulation drives pericyte mobilization towards skin regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Photobiomodulation is being widely applied for improving dermal or mucosal wound healing. However, the underlying cellular and molecular processes that directly contribute to its effects remain poorly understood. Pericytes are relevant cells involved in the wound microenvironment and could be one of the main targets of photobiomodulation due to their plasticity and perivascular localization. Herein, we investigate tissue repair under the photobiomodulation stimulus using a pericyte labeled (or reporter) transgenic mice. Using a model of two contralateral back wounds, one the control and the other photoactivated daily (660 nm, 20 mW, 0.71 W/cm2, 5 J/cm2, 7 s, 0.14 J), we showed an overall influx of immune and undifferentiated cells and higher mobilization of a potent pericyte subpopulation (Type-2 pericytes) in the photoactivated wounds in comparison to the controls. Doppler analysis showed a significant increase in the blood flow in the photoactivated wounds, while marked vascular supply was observed histologically. Histochemical analysis has indicated more advanced stages of tissue repair after photoactivation. These data suggest that photobiomodulation significantly accelerates tissue repair through its vascular effects with direct recruitment of pericytes to the injury site.

Project description:For repairing peripheral nerve and spinal cord defects, biomaterial scaffold-based cell-therapy was emerged as an effective strategy, requiring the positive response of seed cells to biomaterial substrate and environment signals. Previous work highlighted that the imposed surface properties of scaffold could provide important guidance cues to adhered cells for polarization. However, the insufficiency of native Schwann cells and unclear cellular response mechanisms remained to be addressed. Given that, this study aimed to illuminate the micropatterned chitosan-film action on the rat skin precursor-derived Schwann cells (SKP-SCs). Chitosan-film with different ridge/groove size was fabricated and applied for the SKP-SCs induction. Results indicated that SKP-SCs cultured on 30 μm size microgroove surface showed better oriented alignment phenotype. Induced SKP-SCs presented similar genic phenotype as repair Schwann cells, increasing expression of c-Jun, neural cell adhesion molecule, and neurotrophic receptor p75. Moreover, SKP-SC-secretome was subjected to cytokine array GS67 assay, data indicated the regulation of paracrine phenotype, a panel of cytokines was verified up-regulated at secreted level and gene expression level in induced SKP-SCs. These up-regulated cytokines exhibit a series of promotive neural regeneration functions, including cell survival, cell migration, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, axon growth, and cellular organization etc. through bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore, the effectively polarized SKP-SCs-sourced secretome, promoted the proliferation and migration capacity of the primarily cultured native rat Schwann cells, and augmented neurites growth of the cultured motoneurons, as well as boosted axonal regrowth of the axotomy-injured motoneurons. Taken together, SKP-SCs obtained pro-neuroregeneration phenotype in adaptive response to the anisotropic topography surface of chitosan-film, displayed the oriented parallel growth, the transition towards repair Schwann cell genic phenotype, and the enhanced paracrine effect on neural regeneration. This study provided novel insights into the potency of anisotropic microtopography surface to Schwann-like cells phenotype regulation, that facilitating to provide promising engineered cell-scaffold in neural injury therapies.
