Project description:Objective: This study aims to investigate the diversity of fibroblasts present in diabetic ulcers and their impact on the wound healing process, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy in the management of diabetic ulcers. Methodology: The single-cell dataset GSE165816 from the GEO database was utilized to analyze DFU-healer and DFU-nonhealer samples in order to evaluate variations in fibroblasts. Functional characteristics of fibroblasts were investigated through analyses of cell communication, transcription factors, and pseudotime analysis. Additionally, a diabetic ulcer rat model was established to compare the therapeutic effects of PRP, followed by histological and transcriptomic sequencing analyses. Result: Single-cell sequencing analysis identified a greater abundance of fibroblasts in the group of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients who exhibited healing. The findings from biological informatics analysis emphasized the critical role of fibroblasts in the wound healing process. Treatment with PRP notably enhanced wound healing in diabetic ulcers in rats, and transcriptomic analysis indicated that gene expression levels post-PRP treatment resembled those of the non-diabetic ulcer group, with a strong association to fibroblasts. Conclusion: Fibroblasts are essential in the process of healing diabetic ulcers, as certain transcription factors have the potential to facilitate wound closure. PRP therapy has been shown to enhance the healing process in diabetic ulcer rat models, possibly through the modulation of gene expression and the promotion of extracellular matrix arrangement. This research offers novel insights and potential therapeutic approaches for managing diabetic ulcers.
Project description:At present, there is no effective treatment for diabetic wounds, and the cost of treatment is high. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in the process of diabetic wound healing. By regulating the expression of target genes, it regulates growth factors, cytokines and signal pathways, thereby affecting various stages of ulcer healing such as hemostasis, anti-inflammatory, proliferation and remodeling. In this study, differential expression of miRNAs in diabetic wound was screened. MiR-206 was selected as the research object to detect the effect of miR-206 on the proliferation of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cell by regulating HIF-1?. Finally, in vivo studies showed that miR-206 antagomir could promote the expression of HIF-1?, CD34 and VEGF, and further promote wound healing in diabetic rats.
Project description:To investigate mRNA Expression profile and associated signaling pathways in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer healing by tibial cortex transverse distraction. Methods: Tissue samples were collected from the wound edge before and after the surgery. After reference genome transcriptome sequencing and subsequent bioinformatics analysis, the differentially expressed genes and related pathways were explored, and functional analysis of important genes and pathways was conducted.
