Oral Wound Healing

Impaired wound healing often occurs in patients with diabetes and causes great inconvenience to them. Aside from the presence of prolonged inflammation, the accumulation of oxidative stress is also implicated in the delayed wound healing. In the present study, we tested the effect of verbascoside, a caffeoyl phenylethanoid glycoside, on the improvement of cell viability and wound healing capacity of gingival epithelial cells under high glucose condition. We showed that verbascoside attenuated the high glucose-induced cytotoxicity and impaired healing, which may be associated with the downregulation of oxidative stress. Our results demonstrated that verbascoside increased the activity of the antioxidant enzyme SOD and reduced the oxidative stress indicator, 8-OHdG, as well as apoptosis. Moreover, verbascoside upregulated the PGC1-α and NRF1 expression and promoted mitochondrial biogenesis, which was mediated by suppression of PKC/HMGB1/RAGE/NFκB signaling. Likewise, we showed the inhibitory effect of verbascoside on oxidative stress was via repression of PKC/HMGB1/RAGE/NFκB activation. Also, our data suggested that the PKC-mediated oxidative stress may lead to the elevated production of inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and IL-1β. Collectively, we demonstrated that verbascoside may be beneficial to ameliorate impaired oral wound healing for diabetic patients.

Wound Site

Impaired wound healing is a major complication of diabetes and involves sustained inflammation and oxidative stress at the wound site. Here, we investigated the potential involvement of ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides, in the pathogenesis of diabetic wound healing. Fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells exposed to high glucose concentrations in vitro contained elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation products, and ferroptosis-associated proteins, and displayed reduced survival and migration. These effects of high glucose were all significantly reduced by treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). Similarly, in a rat model of diabetes, direct application of Fer-1 to the wound site reduced the expression of oxidative stress and inflammation markers and accelerated wound healing via activation of the anti-inflammatory phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. Our results implicate ferroptosis in wound healing and identify a potential new therapeutic target for difficult-to-treat diabetic wounds.

Impaired wound healing is a frequent and very severe problem in patients with diabetes mellitus, yet little is known about the underlying pathomechanisms. In this paper we review the biology of wound healing with particular attention to the pathophysiology of chronic wounds in diabetic patients. The standard treatment of diabetic ulcers includes measures to optimize glycemic control as well as extensive debridement, infection elimination by antibiotic therapy based on wound pathogen cultures, the use of moisture dressings, and offloading high pressure from the wound bed. In this paper we discuss novel adjuvant therapies with particular reference to the use of autologous skin transplants for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers which do not respond to standard care.

AbstractImpaired wound healing and ulcer complications are a leading cause of death in diabetic patients. In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a cyclometalated iridium(III) metal complex 1a as a stabilizer of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). In vitro biophysical and cellular analyses demonstrate that this compound binds to Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) and inhibits the VHL–HIF-1α interaction. Furthermore, the compound accumulates HIF-1α levels in cellulo and activates HIF-1α mediated gene expression, including VEGF, GLUT1, and EPO. In in vivo mouse models, the compound significantly accelerates wound closure in both normal and diabetic mice, with a greater effect being observed in the diabetic group. We also demonstrate that HIF-1α driven genes related to wound healing (i.e. HSP-90, VEGFR-1, SDF-1, SCF, and Tie-2) are increased in the wound tissue of 1a-treated diabetic mice (including, db/db, HFD/STZ and STZ models). Our study demonstrates a small molecule stabilizer of HIF-1α as a promising therapeutic agent for wound healing, and, more importantly, validates the feasibility of treating diabetic wounds by blocking the VHL and HIF-1α interaction.

Proliferation And Migration

Wound healing is a regulated biological event that involves several processes including infiltrating leukocyte subtypes and resident cells. Impaired wound healing is one of the major problems in diabetic patients due to the abnormal physiological changes of tissues and cells in major processes. Thymoquinone, a bioactive compound found in Nigella sativa has been demonstrated to possess antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Today, the rapidly progressing nanotechnology sets a new alternative carrier to enhance and favour the speed of healing process. In order to overcome its low bioavailability, TQ is loaded into a colloidal drug carrier known as a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC). This study aimed to determine the effect of TQ-NLC and TQ on cell proliferation and migration, mode of cell death, and the antioxidant levels in normal and diabetic cell models, 3T3 and 3T3-L1. Cytotoxicity of TQ-NLC and TQ was determined by MTT assay. The IC10 values obtained for 3T3-L1 treated with TQ-NLC and TQ for 24 hours were 4.7 ± 3.3 and 5.3 ± 0.6 μM, respectively. As for 3T3, the IC10 values obtained for TQ-NLC and TQ at 24 hours were 4.3 ± 0.17 and 3.9 ± 2.05 μM, respectively. TQ-NLC was observed to increase the number of 3T3 and 3T3-L1 healthy cells (87–95%) and gradually decrease early apoptotic cells in time- and dose-dependant manner compared with TQ. In the proliferation and migration assay, 3T3-L1 treated with TQ-NLC showed higher proliferation and migration rate (p<0.05) compared with TQ. TQ-NLC also acted as an antioxidant by reducing the ROS levels in both cells after injury at concentration as low as 3 μM. Thus, this study demonstrated that TQ-NLC has better proliferation and migration as well as antioxidant effect compared with TQ especially on 3T3-L1 which confirms its ability as a good antidiabetic and antioxidant agent.

Abstract Background Progressive population aging has contributed to the increased global prevalence of diabetes and osteoporosis. Inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by hyperglycemia is a potential pathogenetic mechanism of osteoporosis in diabetic patients. Uncarboxylated osteocalcin (GluOC), a protein secreted by mature osteoblasts, regulates bone development as well as glucose and lipid metabolism. In our previous studies, GluOC was shown to promote osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well characterized. Tumor protein 63 (TP63), as a  transcription factor, is closely related to bone development and glucose metabolism. Results In this study, we verified that high glucose suppressed osteogenesis and upregulated adipogenesis in BMSCs, while GluOC alleviated this phenomenon. In addition, high glucose enhanced TP63 expression while GluOC diminished it. Knock-down of TP63 by siRNA transfection restored the inhibitory effect of high glucose on osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we detected the downstream signaling pathway PTEN/Akt/GSK3β. We found that diminishing TP63 decreased PTEN expression and promoted the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK3β. We then applied the activator and inhibitor of Akt, and concluded that PTEN/Akt/GSK3β participated in regulating the differentiation of BMSCs. Conclusions Our results indicate that GluOC reduces the inhibitory effect of high glucose on osteoblast differentiation by regulating the TP63/PTEN/Akt/GSK3β pathway. TP63 is a potential novel target for the prevention and treatment of diabetic osteoporosis.

Aims Local antibiotics are used in the surgical management of foot infection in diabetic patients. This systematic review analyzes the available evidence of the use of local antibiotic delivery systems as an adjunct to surgery. Materials and Methods Databases were searched to identify eligible studies and 13 were identified for inclusion. Results Overall, the quality of the studies was poor. A single trial suggested that wound healing is quicker when a gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge was implanted at time of surgery, with no difference in length of stay or rate of amputation. Results from studies with high risk of bias indicated no change in wound healing when a gentamicin-impregnated sponge was implanted during transmetatarsal amputation, but a reduction in the incidence of wound breakdown (8% vs 25%, not statistically significant) was identified. A significant cost reduction was identified when using an antimicrobial gel to deliver antibiotics and anti-biofilm agents (quorum-sensing inhibitors) compared with routine dressings and systemic antibiotics. Analyses of case series identified 485 patients who were treated using local antibiotic delivery devices. The rates of wound healing, re-operation, and mortality were comparable to those that have been previously reported for the routine management of these infections. Conclusion There is a lack of good-quality evidence to support the use of local antibiotic delivery devices in the treatment of foot infections in patients with diabetes.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Diabetic patients suffer from impaired wound healing. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy represents a promising approach toward improving skin wound healing through release of soluble growth factors and cytokines that stimulate new vessel formation and modulate inflammation. Whether adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs) from type 2 diabetes donors are suitable for skin damage repair remains largely unknown. METHODS: In this study, we compared the phenotype and functionality of ASCs harvested from high fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T2D or control mice, and assessed their abilities to promote wound healing in an excisional wound splinting mouse model with T2D. RESULTS: T2D ASCs expressed similar cellular markers as control ASCs, but secreted less hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). T2D ASCs were somewhat less effective in promoting healing of the wound, as manifested by slightly reduced re-epithelialization, cutaneous appendage regeneration, and collagen III deposition in wound tissues. In vitro, T2D ASCs promoted proliferation and migration of skin fibroblasts to a comparable extent as control ASCs via suppression of inflammation and macrophage infiltration. CONCLUSIONS: From these findings, we conclude that, although ASCs from T2D mice are marginally inferior to control ASCs, they possess comparable therapeutic effects in wound healing.

Bacterial infection and its severe oxidative stress reaction will cause damage to skin cell mitochondria, resulting in long-lasting wound healing and great pain to patients. Thus, delayed wound healing in diabetic patients with Staphylococcus aureus infection is a principal challenge worldwide. Therefore, novel biomaterials with multifunction of bacterial membrane destruction and skin cell mitochondrial protection are urgently needed to be developed to address this challenge. In this work, novel gold cage (AuNCs) modified with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were prepared to treat delayed diabetic wounds. The results showed that Au-EGCG had a high and stable photothermal conversion efficiency under near-infrared irradiation, and the scavenging rate of Au-EGCG for S. aureus could reach 95%. The production of large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the disruption of bacterial membranes, inducing bacterial lysis and apoptosis. Meanwhile, Au-EGCG fused into hydrogel (Au-EGCG@H) promoted the migration and proliferation of human umbilical cord endothelial cells, reduced cellular mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress in the presence of infection, and significantly increased the basic fibroblast growth factor expression and vascular endothelial growth factor. In addition, animal studies showed that wound closure was 97.2% after 12 days of treatment, and the healing of chronic diabetic wounds was significantly accelerated. Au-EGCG nanoplatforms were successfully prepared to promote cell migration and angiogenesis in diabetic rats while removing S. aureus, reducing oxidative stress in cells, and restoring impaired mitochondrial function. Au-EGCG provides an effective, biocompatible, and multifunctional therapeutic strategy for chronic diabetic wounds.
