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.

Project description:The objective of the study was to compare the wound macs with corresponding macs derived from peripheral blood monocytes (MDMs). Wound site macrophage (wound macs were isolated from human subjects with chronic wounds. Matching blood monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) were obtained from same subjects. Transcriptome profiling (GeneChip, Affymetrix) was performed.The expression values of genes were normalized using global scaling approach. Blood monocyte derived macrophages or human wound macrophages were isolated and transcriptome analysis was performed using affymetrix gene chip analysis.

Project description:Circulating miRNAs constitute a novel class of disease biomarkers, which are altered in diabetes but the effect of diabetes associated inflammation as seen in chronic wounds is unknown. We here compared the miRNA pattern in diabetic patients in presence or absence of chronic wound with PAD.

Project description:Circulating miRNAs constitute a novel class of disease biomarkers, which are altered in diabetes but the effect of diabetes associated inflammation as seen in chronic wounds is unknown. We here compared the miRNA pattern in diabetic patients in presence or absence of chronic wound with PAD. The clinical plasma samples were obtained from Heart and Diabetes centre, NRW and compared for plasma miRNA levels in 2 pools of 17 T2DM+PAD+Wound patients vs 2 pools from 20 T2DM controls

Project description:The clinical importance of microbiomes to the chronicity of wounds is widely appreciated, yet little is understood about patient-specific processes shaping wound microbiome composition. Here, a two-cohort microbiome-genome wide association study is presented through which patient genomic loci associated with chronic wound microbiome diversity were identified. Further investigation revealed that alternative TLN2 and ZNF521 genotypes explained significant inter-patient variation in relative abundance of two key pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Wound diversity was lowest in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected wounds, and decreasing wound diversity had a significant negative linear relationship with healing rate. In addition to microbiome characteristics, age, diabetic status, and genetic ancestry all significantly influenced healing. Using structural equation modeling to identify common variance among SNPs, six loci were sufficient to explain 53% of variation in wound microbiome diversity, which was a 10% increase over traditional multiple regression. Focusing on TLN2, genotype at rs8031916 explained expression differences of alternative transcripts that differ in inclusion of important focal adhesion binding domains. Such differences are hypothesized to relate to wound microbiomes and healing through effects on bacterial exploitation of focal adhesions and/or cellular migration. Related, other associated loci were functionally enriched, often with roles in cytoskeletal dynamics. This study, being the first to identify patient genetic determinants for wound microbiomes and healing, implicates genetic variation determining cellular adhesion phenotypes as important drivers of infection type. The identification of predictive biomarkers for chronic wound microbiomes may serve as risk factors and guide treatment by informing patient-specific tendencies of infection.

Project description:Adalimumab is the only FDA- and EMA-approved treatment for moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), suggesting that the mechanism of action of adalimumab is distinct in HS and may contribute to improved wound healing. We have demonstrated that adalimumab, but neither etanercept nor certolizumab-pegol, induces a wound healing profile in vitro, which may underlie the differences in efficacy between various anti-TNF agents. To examine and compare the efficacy of therapeutic TNF inhibitors in chronic cutaneous wound healing in vivo, a human TNF knock-in Leprdb/db mouse model was established. The vehicle group exhibited severe impairments in cutaneous wound healing. In contrast, adalimumab significantly accelerated healing, confirmed by both histologic assessment and a unique healing transcriptional profile. Moreover, adalimumab and infliximab showed similar levels of efficacy, but golimumab was less effective, along with etanercept and certolizumab-pegol. In line with histologic assessments, proteomics analyses from healing wounds exposed to various TNF inhibitors revealed distinct and differential wound healing signatures that may underlie the differential efficacy of therapeutic inhibitors in accelerating chronic wound healing.

Project description:Chronic skin wounds accompany many widespread, chronic and age-related diseases and are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Both, keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts contribute to the pathomechanisms observed in chronic wounds. Whereas dysregulated pathways in the epidermis have been extensively studied, little is known on the influence of dermal fibroblasts on chronic wounding. We isolated fibroblasts from chronic wounds and show that they are a distinct cell type that can be propagated in vitro. Chronic wound-associated fibroblasts (cWAFs) exhibit a unique proteome profile characteristic for a decreased propensity for cell proliferation and migration but with an enhanced ability to contract the extracellular matrix. Commonly, they display lysosomal dysfunction and dysregulated TGFbeta signaling. Here, we define intrinsic and extrinsic properties of cWAFs that may contribute to pathological wound healing.
