Development of a Cellular Assay as a Personalized Model for Testing Chronic Wound Therapeutics (NS18)

ABSTRACT: Exudates of non-healing wounds contain drivers of pathogenicity. We utilized >800 exudates from non-healing and healing wounds of diverse etiologies, collected by three different methods, to develop a wound-specific, cell-based functional biomarker assay. Human dermal fibroblast proliferation served as readout to a) to differentiate between healing and non-healing wounds, b) follow the healing process of individual patients, and c) assess the effects of therapeutics for chronic wounds ex vivo. We observed a strong correlation between wound chronicity and inhibitory effects of individual exudates on fibroblast proliferation, with good diagnostic sensitivity (76-90%, depending on the sample collection method). Transition of a clinically non-healing to a healing phenotype restored fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix formation while reducing inflammatory cytokine production. Transcriptional analysis of fibroblasts exposed to ex vivo non-healing wound exudates revealed an induction of inflammatory cytokine- and chemokine pathways and the unfolded protein response, indicating that these changes may contribute to the pathology of non-healing wounds. Testing the wound therapeutics platelet derived growth factor and silver sulfadiazine yielded responses in line with clinical experience and indicate the usefulness of the assay to search for and profile new therapeutics.

Bioactive insulin-loaded electrospun wound dressings for localized drug delivery and stimulation of protein expression associated with wound healing

Project description:Effective therapy of wounds is difficult, especially for chronic, non-healing wounds, and novel therapeutics are urgently needed. This challenge can be addressed with bioactive wound dressings providing a microenvironment and facilitating cell proliferation and migration, ideally incorporating actives which initiate and/or progress effective healing upon release. In this context, electrospun scaffolds loaded with growth factors emerged as promising wound dressings due to their biocompatibility, similarity to the extracellular matrix and potential for controlled drug release. In this study, electrospun core-shell fibers were designed composed of a combination of polycaprolactone and polyethylene oxide. Insulin, a proteohormon with growth factor characteristics, was successfully incorporated into the core and was released in a controlled manner. The fibers exhibited favorable mechanical properties and a surface guiding cell migration for wound closure in combination with a high uptake capacity for wound exudate. Biocompatibility and significant wound healing effects were shown in interaction studies with human skin cells. As a new approach, analysis of the wound proteome in treated ex vivo human skin wounds clearly demonstrated a remarkable increase in wound healing biomarkers. Based on these findings, insulin-loaded electrospun wound dressings bear a high potential as effective wound healing therapeutics overcoming current challenges in the clinics.

Novel epoxy-tiglianes stimulate keratinocyte wound healing responses and re-epithelialization via protein kinase C activation

Project description:Impaired re-epithelialization is a hallmark of non-healing, chronic skin wounds. These represent major causes of patient morbidity, particularly amongst ever-increasing ageing and diabetic populations, posing significant challenges to healthcare providers worldwide. Despite many treatment options being available, these often offer limited benefits to healing outcomes. We address the need for more efficacious treatments through evaluation of novel epoxy-tigliane compounds as chronic wound pharmaceuticals, based on their effectiveness in promoting keratinocyte healing responses and re-epithelialization in vivo. Here, we identify that prototype epoxy-tigliane (EBC-46) and analogue (EBC-211), accelerate G1/S and S/G2 cell cycle transitions and proliferation in a normal human keratinocyte cell line of skin origin (HaCaTs). EBC-46 and EBC-211 further induce HaCaT migration/wound repopulation, even with mitomycin C treatment, suggesting epoxy-tiglianes can promote migration/repopulation independently of proliferation. Epoxy-tiglianes modulate keratin, DNA synthesis/replication, cell cycle/proliferation, motility/migration, differentiation, proteinase; and cytokine/chemokine gene expression, to facilitate enhanced responses. Although epoxy-tiglianes down-regulate cytokine/chemokine agonists of keratinocyte proliferation/migration, we demonstrate that enhanced HaCaT responses are mediated through protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation and abrogated by inhibition of PKC activation with bisindolylmaleimide-1 (BIM-1). By identifying how epoxy-tiglianes stimulate keratinocyte healing responses, we highlight their potential as novel therapeutics for impaired re-epithelialization associated with non-healing, chronic wounds.

Metabolic Reprogramming and Reliance in Human Skin Wound Healing

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.

Thrombospondin-4 is a soluble dermal inflammatory signal that activates the fibroblast migration for skin regeneration and wound healing

Project description:The present study aimed to investigate the role of Thbs4 in skin regeneration and elucidate its effects on cellular responses. Here we show that Thbs4 expression is upregulated in healing skin wounds and wound healing can be promoted by the application of recombinant Thbs4 protein. Thbs4 was shown to promote keratinocyte proliferation and fibroblast migration by activating β-catenin signalling cascade. This indicates that incorporating Thbs4 into novel wound healing therapies can be a promising therapeutic strategy for hard-to-heal chronic wounds.

Global microarray analysis of changes of gene expression in the epidermis of K14-caSmad1 mice

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling plays a key role in the control of skin development and postnatal remodelling by regulating keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. To study the role of BMPs in wound-induced epidermal repair, we used transgenic mice overexpressing the BMP downstream component Smad1 under the control of a K14 promoter as an in vivo model, as well as ex vivo and in vitro assays. K14-caSmad1 mice exhibited retarded wound healing associated with significant inhibition of proliferation and increased apoptosis in healing wound epithelium. Furthermore, microarray and qRT-PCR analyses revealed decreased expression of a number of cytoskeletal/cell motility-associated genes including wound-associated keratins (Krt16, Krt17) and Myo5a, in the epidermis of K14- caSmad1 mice versus wild-type controls during wound healing. BMP treatment significantly inhibited keratinocyte migration ex vivo, and primary keratinocytes of K14-caSmad1 mice showed retarded migration compared to wild-type controls. Finally, siRNA-mediated silencing of Bmpr-1B in primary mouse keratinocytes accelerated cell migration and was associated with increased expression of Krt16, Krt17 and Myo5a compared to controls. Thus, this study demonstrates that BMPs inhibit keratinocyte proliferation, cytoskeletal organization and migration in regenerating skin epithelium during wound healing, and raises a possibility for using BMP antagonists for the management of chronic wounds. Two-condition experiment, Wild type vs. Smad1 overexpressing mice. Biological replicates: 2 replicates.

Wound healing and hair follicle regeneration with topical BRAF inhibitor therapy in a diabetic model

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.

A novel epidermal-specific role for arginase1 during cutaneous wound repair

Project description:Non-healing wounds are a major area of unmet clinical need that remain problematic to treat; therefore, improved understanding of pro-healing mechanisms is invaluable. The enzyme arginase1 is involved in pro-healing responses with its role in macrophages best-characterised. Arginase1 is also expressed by keratinocytes; however, the function of arginase1 in these critical wound repair cells is not understood. We characterised arginase1 expression in keratinocytes during normal cutaneous repair and reveal de novo temporal and spatial expression at the epidermal wound edge. Interestingly, epidermal arginase1 expression was decreased in both human and murine delayed healing wounds. We, therefore, generated a keratinocyte specific arginase1-null mouse model (K14-cre;Arg1fl/fl) to explore arginase function. Wound repair, linked to changes in keratinocyte proliferation, migration and differentiation, was significantly delayed in K14-cre;Arg1fl/flmice. Gene expression was studied by microarray.

Soluble CD83 improves and accelerates wound healing by the induction of pro-resolving macrophages

Project description:To facilitate the recovery process of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds novel pro-resolving treatment options are urgently needed. We investigated the pro regenerative properties of soluble CD83 (sCD83) on cutaneous wound healing, where sCD83 accelerated wound healing not only after systemic but also after topical application, which is of high therapeutic interest. Cytokine profile analyses revealed an initial upregulation of inflammatory mediators such as TNFa and IL-1b, followed by a switch towards pro-resolving factors, including YM-1 and IL-10, both expressed by tissue repair macrophages. These cells are known to mediate resolution of inflammation and stimulate wound healing processes by secretion of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promote vascularization as well as fibroblast and keratinocyte differentiation. In conclusion, we have found strong wound healing capacities of sCD83 beyond the previously described role in transplantation and autoimmunity. This makes sCD83 a promising candidate for the treatment of chronic- and hard-to-heal wounds

Autologous microgratf accelerates endogenous wound healing response through ERK-induced cell migration.

Project description:Defective fibroblast migration cause delayed wound healing (WH) and chronic skin lesions. Autologous micrograft (AMG) therapies have recently emerged as a new effective treatment able to improve wound healing capacity. However, the molecular mechanisms connecting their beneficial outcomes with the wound healing process are still unrevealed. Here, we show that AMG modulates primary fibroblast migration and accelerates skin re-epithelialization without affecting cell proliferation. We demonstrate that AMG is enriched in a pool of WH-associated growth factors that may provide the initiation signal for faster endogenous wound healing response. This, in turn leads to increased cell migration rate by elevating activity of ERK and subsequent activation of matrix metalloproteinase expression and their extracellular enzymatic activity. Moreover, AMG-treated wounds showed increased granulation tissue formation and organized collagen content. Overall, we shed light on AMG molecular mechanism supporting its potential to trigger highly improved wound healing process.
