Diabetic Wound Healing

Background/Aims: Impaired diabetes wound healing can often lead to serious complications and remains a major health concern due to the lack of effective therapeutic approaches. Compromised angiogenesis, disrupted growth factor and cytokine activity are all attributable to diabetic wound healing impairment. The skin-derived precursors (SKPs) have been shown to differentiate into vascular and nerve cells, both of which are crucial components for wound repair. Given their easy accessibility and multipotency, the SKPs were proposed as an ideal therapeutic candidate for diabetic wound healing. Since the efficacy of cell therapy is limited by poor cell survival, collagen sponge was employed for better SKPs delivery. Methods: SKPs were isolated and transplanted directly to the wound areas of diabetic mice in the absence and presence of collagen sponge. The effects of SKPs and/or collagen sponge on diabetic wound healing were examined histologically as well as immunostaining of isolectin and α-SMA. Mechanisms via which the SKPs facilitate wound healing were then investigated by transplanting SKPs that have been pre-labelled with a fluorescence dye, Dil. Expression patterns of Dil and an SKP marker, nestin, was also examined. Results and Conclusion: Accelerated wound healing and enhanced local capillary regeneration could be observed 14 days after skin ablation from both SKPs and collagen sponge co-transplanted and collagen sponge only groups. Subsequent analyses further revealed superior pro-angiogenic effects from the SKP and collagen sponge co-delivered group, which are mainly attributable to in vivo transdifferentation and paracrine signalling of the SKPs.

Diabetic Wound Healing

Diabetes Mellitus is the most prevalent metabolic disorder that is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. The unregulated glucose level leads to various types of health disorders, and one of the major diabetic complications is delayed wound healing. Due to the more side effects of synthetic drugs, there is a need to explore plants and their phytochemicals for medicinal purposes. It was found that Quercetin, a flavonoid, increases the rate of diabetic wound healing by enhancing the expression of SIRT1. This demands more insight towards Quercetin and its similar compounds, as it is hypothesized that similar compounds may have similar biological properties. Thus similarity searching was done to identify the most similar compounds of Quercetin, and then the molecular docking of the screened compounds was performed using AutoDock Vina. The unique ligands were docked into the active site of SIRT1 protein (PDB ID: 4ZZJ). The binding free energy of the interacting ligand with the protein was estimated. Six compounds were identified which possess the maximum structural similarity with Quercetin, and upon docking, it was found that gossypetin and herbacetin have similar binding modes and binding energy as that of Quercetin (-7.5 kcal/mol). Therefore, the hypothesis has been validated by in silico analysis. Our study identified two phytochemicals, Gossypetin, and Herbacetin which can prove beneficial for improving diabetic wound healing but needs to be validated further by in vitro and in vivo studies.

Impaired wound healing is a common complication associated with diabetes with complex pathophysiological underlying mechanisms and often necessitates amputation. With the advancement in laser technology, irradiation of these wounds with low-intensity laser irradiation (LILI) or phototherapy, has shown a vast improvement in wound healing. At the correct laser parameters, LILI has shown to increase migration, viability, and proliferation of diabetic cellsin vitro; there is a stimulatory effect on the mitochondria with a resulting increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In addition, LILI also has an anti-inflammatory and protective effect on these cells. In light of the ever present threat of diabetic foot ulcers, infection, and amputation, new improved therapies and the fortification of wound healing research deserves better prioritization. In this review we look at the complications associated with diabetic wound healing and the effect of laser irradiation bothin vitroandin vivoin diabetic wound healing.

Diabetic Wound Healing

Chronic wounds with impaired healing capability such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are devastating complications in diabetic patients, inflicting rapidly growing clinical and economic burdens in aging societies. Despite recent advances in therapeutic approaches, limited benefits of the existing solutions highlight the critical need for novel therapeutic solutions for diabetic wound healing. Here we propose a strain-programmable patch capable of rapid robust adhesion on and programmable mechanical contraction of wet wounded tissues over days to offer a new therapeutic platform for diabetic wounds. The strain-programmable patch, consisting of a dried bioadhesive layer and a pre-stretched elastomer backing, implements a hydration-based shape-memory mechanism to achieve both uniaxial and biaxial contractions and stress remodeling of wet wounds in a programmable manner. We develop theoretical and numerical models to rationally guide the strain-programming and mechanical modulation of wounds. In vivo rodent and ex vivo human skin culture models validate the programmability and efficacy of the proposed platform and identify mechanisms of action for accelerated diabetic wound healing.

Introduction: The pleiotropic effects of statins are recently explored for wound healing through angiogenesis and lymph-angiogenesis that could be of great importance in diabetic wounds. Aim: Aim of the present study is to fabricate nanofilm embedded with simvastatin loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CS-SIM-NPs) has been reported herein to explore the efficacy of SIM in diabetic wound healing. Methods: The NPs, prepared via ionic gelation, were 173nm ± 2.645 in size with a zeta potential -0.299 ± 0.009 and PDI 0.051 ± 0.088 with excellent encapsulation efficiency (99.97%). The optimized formulation (CS: TPP, 1:1) that exhibited the highest drug release (91.64%) was incorporated into polymeric nanofilm (HPMC, Sodium alginate, PVA), followed by in vitro characterization. The optimized nanofilm was applied to the wound created on the back of diabetes-induced (with alloxan injection 120 mg/kg) albino rats. Results: The results showed significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the wound healing process compared to the diabetes-induced non-treated group. The results highlighted the importance of nanofilms loaded with SIM-NPs in diabetic wound healing through angiogenesis promotion at the wound site. Conclusion: Thus, CS-SIM-NPs loaded polymeric nanofilms could be an emerging diabetic wound healing agent in the industry of nanomedicines.

Abstract Impaired angiogenesis is one of the predominant reasons for non-healing diabetic wounds. Herein, a nanofiber/ hydrogel core-shell scaffold with three-dimensional (3D) multilayer patterned structure (3D-PT-P/GM) was introduced for promoting diabetic wound healing with improved angiogenesis. The results showed that the 3D-PT-P/GM scaffolds possessed multilayered structure with interlayer spacing of about 15-80 μm, and the hexagonal micropatterned structures were uniformly distributed on the surface of each layer. The nanofibers in the scaffold exhibited distinct core-shell structures with Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel as the shell and Poly (D, L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) as the core. The results showed that the porosity, water retention time and water vapor permeability of the 3D-PT-P/GM scaffolds increased to 1.6 times, 21 times, and 1.9 times than that of the two-dimensional (2D) PDLLA nanofibrous scaffolds, respectively. The in vitro studies showed that the 3D-PT-P/GM scaffolds could significantly promote cell adhesion, proliferation, infiltration and migration throughout the scaffolds, and the expression of cellular communication protein-related genes, as well as angiogenesis-related genes in the same group, was remarkably upregulated. The in vivo results further demonstrated that the 3D-PT-P/GM scaffolds could not only effectively absorb exudate and provide a moist environment for the wound sites, but also significantly promote the formation of a 3D network of capillaries. As a result, the healing of diabetic wounds was accelerated with enhanced angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, and collagen deposition. These results indicate that nanofiber/ hydrogel core-shell scaffolds with 3D multilayer patterned structures could provide a new strategy for facilitating chronic wound healing.
