Inflammatory response is considered the most important period that regulates the entire healing process. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a class of linoleic acid positional and geometric isomers, is well known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We hypothesized that dietary CLA supplementation accelerates cutaneous wound healing by regulating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions. To investigate wound closure rates and inflammatory responses, we used a full-thickness excisional wound model after 2-week treatments with control, 0.5%, or 1% CLA-supplemented diet. Mice fed dietary CLA supplementation had reduced levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. Moreover, the wound closure rate was improved significantly in mice fed a 1% CLA-supplemented diet during early stage of wound healing (inflammatory stage). We conclude that dietary CLA supplementation enhances the early stage of cutaneous wound healing as a result of modulating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

Dracorhodin perchlorate (DP) is extracted from Dragon’s blood, which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, especially in wound healing. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of DP ointment, which contained DP dissolved in DMSO and mixed with Vaseline, on cutaneous wound healing in Wistar rats. Forty Wistar rats were divided into two groups: control and DP groups. The skin on the back of each rat was punched with two full-thickness wounds and then treated with the corresponding drug. After 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 days, four rats were sacrificed for immunological, biochemical, and histological analyses. Compared with the control treatment, DP could significantly promote wound closure. Histological and biochemical analyses of the skin biopsies also showed that DP regulated the expression of inflammatory responses by TNF-α and IL-β and by supporting wound tissue growth and collagen deposition. Western blot revealed that DP could also facilitate the expression of EGF and VEGF proteins. In conclusion, DP promotes wound healing.

Background: Complete regeneration after skin injury remains a critical clinical challenge. Hydrogels, modified with growth factors or mimicking peptides, have been applied for functional tissue regeneration by increasing the bioactivity of engineered matrices. Methodology & results: We synthesized an injectable biological hydrogel, C domain of IGF-1 (IGF-1C)-modified chitosan (CS–IGF-1C) hydrogel. Mouse model of cutaneous wound healing was established to investigate whether this hydrogel could promote wound healing. Our results demonstrated that CS–IGF-1C hydrogel exhibited superior proangiogenic effects, resulting in accelerated wound closure and improved extracellular matrix remodeling. Bioluminescence imaging and histology analysis confirmed the proangiogenic role of CS–IGF-1C hydrogel. Conclusion: CS–IGF-1C hydrogel could accelerate cutaneous wound healing by stimulating angiogenesis.
