Electrospun kaolin-loaded chitosan/PEO nanofibers for rapid hemostasis and accelerated wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 217:998-1011. [PMID: 35907464 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Development of chitosan-based hemostatic products and their application in wound healing has always been a research hotspot in the field of emergency treatment and biomedicine. In this study, the classic hemostatic chitosan and the most well-known inorganic hemostatic agent-kaolin were tried to combine to form a more excellent dressing. Together with the aid of non-toxic, harmless and good hydrophilic polyethylene oxide, chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO)/kaolin nanofiber membranes (CPKs) were prepared by electrospinning technology. Such membranes exhibited adjustable mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, a series of in vitro coagulation experiments proved that CPKs with 10 % ratio of kaolin (CPK10) has excellent hemostatic ability. Especially, in the whole blood coagulation time (WBCT) assay, the hemostatic time of CPK10 (43 ± 1.4 s) was significantly lower than that of chitosan/polyethylene oxide (CPK0) nanofiber membrane (61 ± 2.2 s) and QuikClot® Combat Gauze (55.7 ± 1.2 s). The further rat liver injury test reconfirmed that CPK10 can stop bleeding better and faster compared to other groups. In addition, CPKs could promote back wound healing in rats within 14 days without significant inflammatory response. This safe and effective hemostatic CPKs is expected to be a promising candidate hemostat in pre-hospital medical care.

J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:342. [PMID: 35883095 PMCID: PMC9327399 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01549-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Delayed wound healing remains a challenge, and macrophages play an important role in the inflammatory process of wound healing. Morphological changes in macrophages can affect their phenotype, but little is known about the underlying mechanism. Aligned electrospun nanofibers have natural advantages in modulating cell morphology. Therefore, the current study constructed aligned electrospun nanofibers that could transform macrophages into elongated shapes. Our results demonstrated that aligned nanofibers without exogenous cytokines could downregulate the proinflammatory M1 phenotype and upregulate the prohealing M2 phenotype in an inflammatory environment. Importantly, our study revealed that aligned electrospun nanofibers could inhibit macrophage M1 polarization via the JAK-STAT and NF-κB pathways. Furthermore, the conditioned medium from macrophages cultured on aligned nanofibers could encourage fibroblast migration, proliferation and collagen secretion. In vivo, aligned nanofibers alleviated the inflammatory microenvironment, promoted angiogenesis and accelerated wound healing in mouse skin defects by modulating macrophage phenotypes. Collectively, aligned electrospun nanofibers can influence macrophage polarization via the JAK-STAT and NF-κB pathways and attenuate the local inflammatory response in skin wounds. This study provides a potential strategy to modulate macrophage polarization and promote wound healing by controlling the topology of biomaterials and offers a new perspective for the application of nanotechnology in wound healing.

Abstract
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is characterized by the presence of fibrosis on the uterine cavity. It is mainly caused by infection or trauma to the endometrium, and it imposes a great challenge to female reproductive health. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used to regenerate the human endometrium in patients with IUA, but stem cell therapy is not curative in some patients. Melatonin (MT) was reported as a potential modulator of MSCs. However, it remains unclear whether MSCs pretreated with MT exert an improved therapeutic effect on IUA. In this study, an IUA model was established using our invented electric scratching tool. Our results illustrated that MT-pretreated MSCs significantly attenuated the development of IUA. Moreover, MT-pretreated MSCs highly expressed galectin-3 (Gal-3), which enhanced MSC proliferation and migration and influenced macrophage polarization. Of note, IUA mice exhibited colonic injury, and MT-pretreated MSCs alleviated this injury by normalizing colonic microbial communities and recruiting macrophages. Furthermore, inhibition of sympathetic nerves had no effect on IUA progression but delayed colonic injury, and Gal-3 combined with norepinephrine better promoted M2-like macrophage polarization and inhibited M1-like macrophage polarization. Together, these data indicated that MT-primed MSCs can ameliorate injury of both the uterus and colon in an IUA model through high Gal-3 expression to influence sympathetic nerves and in turn affect the polarization and recruitment of macrophages.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are characterized by their inability to heal within an expected time frame and have emerged as an increasingly important clinical problem over the past several decades, owing to their increasing incidence and greater recognition of associated morbidity and socio-economic burden. Even up to a few years ago, the management of chronic wounds relied on standards of care that were outdated. However, the approach to these chronic conditions has improved, with better prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Such improvements are due to major advances in understanding of cellular and molecular aspects of basic science, in innovative and technological breakthroughs in treatment modalities from biomedical engineering, and in our ability to conduct well-controlled and reliable clinical research. The evidence-based approaches resulting from these advances have become the new standard of care. At the same time, these improvements are tempered by the recognition that persistent gaps exist in scientific knowledge of impaired healing and the ability of clinicians to reduce morbidity, loss of limb and mortality. Therefore, taking stock of what is known and what is needed to improve understanding of chronic wounds and their associated failure to heal is crucial to ensuring better treatments and outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection with high mortality and current management cannot reach optimal remission. Previous studies have shown that cell-free fat extract (CEFFE) is a kind of bioactive extraction from adipose tissues and exhibits a potent anti-inflammatory effect on wound healing and inflammatory diseases. However, the potential role of CEFFE in sepsis remains unclear. METHODS CEFFE was extracted from healthy donors and was intraperitoneally injected into septic mice. The septic mice models were constructed using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), E. coli, and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The survival of septic mice was detected for 96 h and Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the differences of survival rates. Lung tissues that were collected from septic mice were subjected to HE staining to evaluate the extent of lung injury, and the mice serum was obtained for inflammasome-related cytokines detection. Moreover, peritoneal macrophages were extracted from C57 mice and treated with CEFFE and/or inflammasome activators. The level of IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, and TNF-α was detected by ELISA, and the activation of NLRP3 were evaluated by Western Blot. Total mtDNA and mitochondrial permeability transition pore were determined to explore the mitochondrial dysfunction in the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome with or without CEFEE. Coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays were performed to confirm the mechanism of NLRP3 activation induced by CEFFE. RESULTS CEFFE significantly improved the survival of sepsis mice and alleviate sepsis-induced lung injury. Moreover, CEFFE significantly decreased the level of inflammasome-cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18) but not the pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α. Moreover, CEFFE markedly suppressed the canonical activation of NLRP3 inflammasome without affecting inflammasomes NLRC4 and AIM2. Additionally, the non-canonical activation of NLRP3 inflammasome was significantly inhibited by CEFFE. CEFFE treatment attenuated the mtDNA outflow and the increase of mitochondrial permeability induced by both canonical and non-canonical pathway of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The results of Co-IP assays revealed that CEFFE remarkably attenuated the oligomerization of ASC and inhibited the association between NLRP3 and ASC. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that CEFFE could significantly alleviate sepsis-related injuries possibly by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. CEFFE was a promising approach for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
TLR4 plays a pivotal role in orchestrating inflammation and tissue repair. Its expression has finally been balanced to initiate the early, robust immune response necessary for efficient repair without excessively amplifying and prolonging inflammation, which impairs healing. Studies show Flightless I (Flii) is an immunomodulator that negatively regulates macrophage TLR4 signalling. Using macrophages from Flii+/−, WT, and FliiTg/Tg mice, we have shown that elevated Flii reduces early TLR4 surface expression, delaying and reducing subsequent TNF secretions. In contrast, reduced Flii increases surface TLR4, leading to an earlier robust TNF peak. In Flii+/− mice, TLR4 levels peak earlier during wound repair, and overall healing is accelerated. Fewer neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages are recruited to Flii+/− wounds, leading to fewer TNF-positive macrophages, alongside an early peak and a robust shift to M2 anti-inflammatory, reparative Ym1+ and IL-10+ macrophages. Importantly, in diabetic mice, high Flii levels are found in plasma and unwounded skin, with further increases observed in their wounds, which have impaired healing. Lowering Flii in diabetic mice results in an earlier shift to M2 macrophages and improved healing. Overall, this suggests Flii regulation of TLR4 reduces early inflammation and decreases the M2 macrophage phenotype, leading to impaired healing.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that Slc6a13-deficient (Slc6a13-/-; KO) mice are resistant to P. multocida infection, which might be in connection with macrophage-mediated inflammation; however, the specific metabolic mechanism is still enigmatic. Here we reproduce the less sensitive to P. multocida infection in overall survival assays as well as reduced bacterial loads, tissue lesions, and inflammation of lungs in KO mice. The transcriptome sequencing analysis of wild-type (WT) and KO mice shows a large number of differentially expressed genes that are enriched in amino acid metabolism by functional analysis. Of note, glycine levels are substantially increased in the lungs of KO mice with or without P. multocida infection in comparison to the WT controls. Interestingly, exogenous glycine supplementation alleviates P. multocida infection-induced inflammation. Mechanistically, glycine reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages by blocking the activation of inflammasome (NALP1, NLRP3, NLRC4, AIM2, and Caspase-1). Together, Slc6a13 deficiency attenuates P. multocida infection through lessening the excessive inflammatory responses of macrophages involving glycine-inflammasome signaling.

Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol 2022; 30:e54-e58. [PMID: 35435864 DOI: 10.1097/pai.0000000000001029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
There are several activated forms of macrophages: 2 main groups are designated M1 and M2. While M1 macrophages have proinflammatory, bactericidal, and phagocytic functions and are the dominant phenotype observed in the early stages of inflammation, M2 macrophages are involved in constructive processes such as tissue repair; they play a role in wound healing and are required for revascularization and re-epithelialization. Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Its pathogenesis is not well understood, but it is not considered a neoplastic entity. JXGs possibly appear as a reaction to a nonspecific injury such as trauma or viral infection, although a genetic predisposition has been suggested in some cases. Tissue damage leads to a histiocytic response. JXGs appear, evolve toward maturation, and then most of them spontaneously regress. Young JXGs are characterized by small macrophages scattered in the dermis, in apposition close to the epidermis. As the lesion matures, the number of foamy macrophages and Touton cells increases and other cell types such as plasma cells, lymphocytes, and polymorphs are observed. Regressing xanthogranulomas will show numerous spindle cells in Significant values are in bold.a storiform distribution, interstitial fibrosis, and few foamy and Touton cells. In this study, we studied the immunophenotypic profile of macrophages found in cutaneous JXGs according to their stage of maturation. We examined the skin biopsies from 25 patients; all were embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and for immunohistochemistry. Typically, all JXGs were positive for factor XIIIa and CD4, and were negative for CD1a. The following histiocyte markers were used: CD68, CD204, CD163, MAC387, and HAM56. Images were analyzed by Image J software; data were statistically evaluated by SAS 9.0 software. The cases showed a slight predominance of males and the preference of the JXGs for the axial skin. Lesions occupied the papillary and reticular dermis in 85% of the cases and extended to the subcutaneous fat in the remainder. Compared with mature and regressing JXGs, younger lesions had a higher density of M1 macrophages, stained with MAC387. This antibody labels the histiocytes that have recently arrived in the areas of inflammation. As the lesions matured, there was an overwhelming predominance of M2 macrophages. These cells tended to cluster against the epidermis, except in the 2 cases in phase of regression. This suggests that there is a cross-talk between the epidermis and macrophages and that receptors, cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules may play a role in the development and evolution of JXGs. These results indicate that, for most of their life, JXGs are formed by repairing M2 macrophages and are not just an M1 macrophagic response to a local antigen. The process appears to be influenced by chemical-mediator epidermal-macrophage cross-talking, considering the tendency of these cells to accumulate against the dermoepidermal junction.

Abstract
Wound healing is a major secondary complication in type 2 diabetes, which results in significant disability and mortality, imposing a significant clinical and social burden. Sustained activation of the Nod-like receptor protein (NLRP) inflammasome in wounds is responsible for excessive inflammatory responses and aggravates wound damage. The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is regulated by a two-step process: the priming/licensing (signal 1) step involved in transcription and posttranslation and the protein complex assembly (signal 2) step triggered by danger molecules. This review focuses on the advances made in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying wound healing in the diabetic microenvironment. Simultaneously, this review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of the main regulatory pathways associated with signal 1 and signal 2, which trigger the NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly in the development of diabetic wounds (DW). Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome-related pathway, involving the disturbance in Nrf2 and the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome, TLR receptor-mediated activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome, and various stimuli inducing NLRP3 inflammasome assembly play a pivotal role in DW healing. Furthermore, therapeutics targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome-related pathways may promote angiogenesis, reprogram immune cells, and improve DW healing.

Abstract
Microbiota is essential to the development and functional maturation of the immune system. The effects of the gut microbiota on myeloid cells remote from the gut, especially the skin remain unclear. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that type I interferon (IFN) signaling was down-regulated in the skin of germ-free mice compared to that in specific pathogen-free mice. The decrease in type I IFN signaling was closely related to the presence of microbiota and macrophage-specific marker CD169. The absence of CD169+ macrophages resulted in increased bacterial burden and impaired immune responses against Staphylococcus aureus skin infection. CD169+ macrophages mediated the recruitment of γδ T cells as well as the activation of γδ T cells via interleukin (IL)-23. Our findings demonstrate the role of the microbiota in establishment of a specific myeloid cell subset expressing CD169 in the skin and provide evidence of a specific mechanism by which this subset protects against bacterial skin infection.

Abstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and macrophages are tissue-resident cells that play important roles in tissue-immune homeostasis and immune regulation. ILCs are mainly distributed on the barrier surfaces of mammals to ensure immunity or tissue homeostasis following host, microbial, or environmental stimulation. Their complex relationships with different organs enable them to respond quickly to disturbances in environmental conditions and organ homeostasis, such as during infections and tissue damage. Gradually emerging evidence suggests that ILCs also play complex and diverse roles in macrophage development, homeostasis, polarization, inflammation, and viral infection. In turn, macrophages also determine the fate of ILCs to some extent, which indicates that network crossover between these interactions is a key determinant of the immune response. More work is needed to better define the crosstalk of ILCs with macrophages in different tissues and demonstrate how it is affected during inflammation and other diseases. Here, we summarize current research on the functional interactions between ILCs and macrophages and consider the potential therapeutic utility of these interactions for the benefit of human health.

Inflammation is one of the main pathological features leading to skin fibrosis and a key factor leading to the progression of skin fibrosis. Acidosis caused by a decrease in extracellular pH is a sign of the inflammatory process. Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are ligand-gated ion channels on the cell membrane that sense the drop in extracellular pH. The molecular mechanisms by which skin fibroblasts are regulated by acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) remain unknown. This study investigated whether ASIC3 is related to inflammation and skin fibrosis and explored the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrate that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is a direct target of ASIC3, and ASIC3 activation promotes M-CSF transcriptional regulation of macrophages for M2 polarization. The polarization of M2 macrophages transduced by the ASIC3-M-CSF signal promotes the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts through transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), thereby producing an ASIC3-M-CSF-TGF-β1 positive feedback loop. Targeting ASIC3 may be a new treatment strategy for skin fibrosis.

Abstract
The current work aims to design thioctic acid (TA) and glatiramer acetate (GA) nanoconjugate (thioctamer) loaded hydrogel formula as well as evaluation of thioctamer preclinical efficacy in expediting wound healing in a rat model of the diabetic wound. Thioctamer was prepared by conjugation of GA and TA in a 1:1 molar ratio. Particle size, zeta potential, and thermodynamic stability of the prepared thioctamer were assessed. Thioctamer was loaded in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-based hydrogel and in vitro release study was investigated. The ability of thioctamer to enhance the process of wound healing in diabetic rats was investigated by assessing wound contraction and immunohistochemical assessment of the inflammation markers IL-6 and TNF-α. The results demonstrated that thioctamer showed particle size of 137 ± 21.4 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.235, and positive zeta potential value of 7.43 ± 4.95 mV. On day 7 of making a skin excision, diabetic rat wounds administered thioctamer preparation showed almost complete healing (95.6 ± 8.6%). Meanwhile, % of wound contraction in animals treated with TA or GA groups exhibited values amounting to 56.5 ± 5.8% and 62.6 ± 7.1%, respectively. Histological investigation showed that the highest healing rate was noted in the thioctamer group animals, as the surface of the wound was nearly fully protected by regenerated epithelium with keratinization, with few inflammatory cells noticed. Thioctamer significantly (p<.05) inhibited IL-6 and TNF-α expression as compared with sections obtained from the negative control, TA, GA, or positive control group animals on day 7. The evidence of the ability of thioctamer to significantly expedite wound healing in the diabetic rats is presented.

Abstract
Long-term non-healing diabetic wounds are always a serious challenge and a global healthcare burden that needs to be resolved urgently in the clinic. Prolonged inflammation and impaired angiogenesis are the main direct causes of diabetic wounds. With the development of polymer biomaterials, various wound dressings have been created, but a few of them have been applied to the clinical management of diabetic wounds. Here, we developed a mussel-inspired bioactive scaffold consisting mainly of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are natural biopolymer materials contained in human tissues. First, we fabricated different polydopamine modified lyophilized collagen hyaluronic acid scaffolds under different concentrations of dopamine alkaline solutions, 0.5, 1, 2 mg/mL, so named CHS-PDA-0.5, CHS-PDA-1, CHS-PDA-2. After testing their physical and chemical properties, antioxidant effect, inflammation regulation, as well as drug loading and release capabilities, we obtained a bioactive endothelial growth factor (EGF)-loaded wound dressing, CHS-PDA-2@EGF, which can resist reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promote the regeneration of chronic wounds in diabetic rats by reducing inflammation. In addition, the scaffold showed excellent swelling ability, a certain coagulation effect and reasonable degradation. Therefore, the scaffold has great potential to be used in clinical diabetic wound treatment as a low-cost and easily available wound dressing to accelerate chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Along with the increasing attempts to explore the wound healing effective substances of Periplaneta americana (L.) (PA), a medicinal insect in traditional Chinese medicine, researchers' attention turned to the endogenetic macromolecules, such as polysaccharides and peptides. Herein, we innovatively isolated two glycoproteins from PA, named PAGP-1 and PAGP-2, which were obtained by Cellulose DE-52 chromatography and purified by Sephadex G-100 gel in succession. The structural characterization of the two PAGPs were performed, including molecular weight, amino acid and monosaccharide composition, morphology analysis, FT-IR and 1H NMR analysis, CD spectroscopy, and glycosides linkage. As a result, two PAGPs belonged to O-glycopeptide bonds linked glycoproteins. The content of carbohydrate and protein of PAGP-1 was approximately 25.23% and 65.92% respectively, which of PAGP-2 was approximately 25.71% and 71.23%. Based on the remarkable anti-inflammatory effects of PAGPs on LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, the topical administration of PAGP-1 and PAGP-2 could significantly accelerate full-thickness wound healing in diabetic mice, involving to alleviate the inflammation, increase the ratio of type I and type III collagen fibers, and promote the polarization of macrophages M1 to M2. In short, this study provides clear evidence that the glycoproteins would be the potential wound healing bioactive substances in PA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have suggested the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for wound healing. Macrophages are critical immune cells necessary for regulated inflammation during wound repair. However, the available information regarding the effects of PDT on macrophages during cutaneous wound healing remains insufficient. This study aimed to further investigate these aspects in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Mouse full-thickness wound models were used as the study samples to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) PDT. Wound healing rate, granulation tissue formation, local inflammation, M1/M2 macrophages differentiation, were measured at different time points treated by ALA-PDT. The polarization of macrophages induced by ALA-PDT was further evaluated in vitro using PCR and western blot analysis. RESULTS ALA-PDT could promote formation of granulation tissue, increase inflammatory infiltration and activate M1 macrophages in the early stage of injury. While, ALA-PDT could also facilitate absorption of granulation tissue, inhibit inflammatory infiltration and enhance M2 macrophages polarization in the later stage of wound repair. In vitro, ALA-PDT could modulate the ratio of M2 polarization to M1 polarization via NF-κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS ALA-PDT topical application stimulates wound healing by regulating formation of granulation tissue, inflammatory process and M1/M2 macrophages differentiation. The study places a preliminary theoretical basis for topical ALA-PDT to be administered clinically in cutaneous wounds healing.

Abstract
Emerging biomanufacturing technologies have revolutionized the field of tissue engineering by offering unprecedented possibilities. Over the past few years, new opportunities arose by combining traditional and novel fabrication techniques, shaping the hybrid designs in biofabrication. One of the potential application fields is skin tissue engineering, in which a combination of traditional principles of wound dressing with advanced biofabrication methods could yield more efficient therapies. In this study, a hybrid design of fiber-reinforced scaffolds combined with gel casting is developed and the efficiency for in vivo wound healing applications is assessed. For this purpose, 3D fiber meshes produced by melt electrowriting are selectively filled with photocrosslinkable gelatin hydrogel matrices loaded with different growth factor carrier microspheres. Additionally, the influence of the inclusion of inorganic bioactive glass particles within the composite fibrous mesh is evaluated. Qualitative evaluation of secondary wound healing criteria and histological analysis shows that hybrid scaffolds containing growth factors and bioactive glass enhances the healing process significantly, compared to the designs merely providing a fiber-reinforced bioactive hydrogel matrix as the wound dressing. This study aims to explore a new application area for melt electrowriting as a powerful tool in fabricating hybrid therapeutic designs for skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Stem cells are known to have excellent regenerative ability, which is primarily facilitated by indirect paracrine factors, rather than via direct cell replacement. The regenerative process is mediated by the release of extracellular matrix molecules, cytokines, and growth factors, which are also present in the media during cultivation. Herein, we aimed to demonstrate the functionality of key factors and mechanisms in skin regeneration through the analysis of conditioned media derived from fetal stem cells. A series of processes, including 3D pellet cultures, filtration and lyophilization is developed to fabricate human fetal cartilage-derived progenitor cells-conditioned media (hFCPCs-CM) and its useful properties are compared with those of human bone marrow-derived MSCs-conditioned media (hBMSCs-CM) in terms of biochemical characterization, and in vitro studies of fibroblast behavior, macrophage polarization, and burn wound healing. The hFCPCs-CM show to be devoid of cellular components but to contain large amounts of total protein, collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and growth factors, including IGFBP-2, IGFBP-6, HGF, VEGF, TGF β3, and M-CSF, and contain a specific protein, collagen alpha-1(XIV) compare with hBMSCs-CM. The therapeutic potential of hFCPCs-CM observes to be better than that of hBMSCs-CM in the viability, proliferation, and migration of fibroblasts, and M2 macrophage polarization in vitro, and efficient acceleration of wound healing and minimization of scar formation in third-degree burn wounds in a rat model. The current study shows the potential therapeutic effect of hFCPCs and provides a rationale for using the secretome released from fetal progenitor cells to promote the regeneration of skin tissues, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The ready-to-use product of human fetal cartilage-derived progenitor cells-conditioned media (hFCPCs-CM) are fabricated via a series of techniques, including a 3D culture of hFCPCs, filtration using a 3.5 kDa cutoff dialysis membrane, and lyophilization of the CM. hFCPCs-CM contains many ECM molecules and biomolecules that improves wound healing through efficient acceleration of M2 macrophage polarization and reduction of scar formation.

Abstract
High-quality cutaneous wound healing is associated with rapid wound closure and a comfortable healing process. Currently, exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells displayed a prominent therapeutic effect on skin wound closure. But the therapeutic approaches for wound itching are very limited in clinical. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) may offer a unique exosome resource for cell-free therapeutics in potential clinical applications. Here, we investigated the common mechanisms underlying wound closure and unpleasant sensation of itching, focusing on the contribution of the SHED-derived exosome to immune response and wound itching during healing. The effects of SHED-derived exosomes on inflammatory wound healing were examined using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced wounds in a mouse model. We found prolonged inflammation and distinct itch responses in skin wound tissue during LPS-induced wound healing. SHED-derived exosomes facilitated LPS-induced wound closure and relieved wound itching. Therefore, they are ideal for the treatment of wound healing. Macrophages in skin wound tissues are responsible for autophagy during wound healing. Macrophage autophagy also regulates cell proliferation, migration, and neuronal signal transduction in vitro. SHED-derived exosomes containing miR-1246 enhanced autophagy by regulating macrophage function through the AKT, ERK1/2, and STAT3 signaling pathways. Thus, SHED-derived exosomes promote wound healing with less itching in an LPS-induced wound model by stimulating macrophage autophagy, which has implications for the treatment of inflammatory wound healing.

Abstract
Chronic wound caused by diabetes is an important cause of disability and seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to develop a wound dressing that can accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds. Nanoparticles have great advantages in promoting diabetic wound healing due to their antibacterial properties, low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility and drug delivery ability. Adding nanoparticles to the dressing matrix and using nanoparticles to deliver drugs and cytokines to promote wound healing has proven to be effective. This review will focus on the effects of diabetes on wound healing, introduce the properties, preparation methods and action mechanism of nanoparticles in wound healing, and describe the effects and application status of various nanoparticle-loaded dressings in diabetes-related chronic wound healing.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105385. [PMID: 35628193 PMCID: PMC9140697 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis therapy is limited by the unclear mechanism of its pathogenesis. C57BL/6 mice were used to construct the pulmonary fibrosis model in this study. The results showed that Men1, which encodes menin protein, was significantly downregulated in bleomycin (BLM)—induced pulmonary fibrosis. Mice were made to overexpress or had Men1 knockdown with adeno-associated virus (AAV) infection and then induced with pulmonary fibrosis. BLM—induced pulmonary fibrosis was attenuated by Men1 overexpression and exacerbated by Men1 knockdown. Further analysis revealed the distinct roles of Men1 in fibroblasts and macrophages. Men1 inhibited fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix (ECM) protein expression while promoting macrophages to be profibrotic (M2) phenotype and enhancing their migration. Accordingly, pyroptosis was potentiated by Men1 in mouse peritoneal macrophages (PMCs) and lung tissues upon BLM stimulation. Furthermore, the expression of profibrotic factor OPN was positively regulated by menin in Raw264.7 cells and lung tissues by binding to the OPN promoter region. Taken together, although Men1 showed antifibrotic properties in BLM—induced pulmonary fibrosis mice, conflictive roles of Men1 were displayed in fibroblasts and macrophages. The profibrotic role of Men1 in macrophages may occur via the regulation of macrophage pyroptosis and OPN expression. This study extends the current pathogenic understanding of pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Keloids are fibroproliferative skin disorder caused by abnormal healing of injured or irritated skin and are characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition, which results in excessive collagen disorders and calcinosis, increasing the remodeling and stiffness of keloid matrix. The pathogenesis of keloid is very complex, and may include changes in cell function, genetics, inflammation, and other factors. In this review, we aim to discuss the role of biomechanical factors in keloid formation. Mechanical stimulation can lead to excessive proliferation of wound fibroblasts, deposition of ECM, secretion of more pro-fibrosis factors, and continuous increase of keloid matrix stiffness. Matrix mechanics resulting from increased matrix stiffness further activates the fibrotic phenotype of keloid fibroblasts, thus forming a loop that continuously invades the surrounding normal tissue. In this process, mechanical force is one of the initial factors of keloid formation, and matrix mechanics leads to further keloid development. Next, we summarized the mechanotransduction pathways involved in the formation of keloids, such as TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, integrin signaling pathway, YAP/TAZ signaling pathway, and calcium ion pathway. Finally, some potential biomechanics-based therapeutic concepts and strategies are described in detail. Taken together, these findings underscore the importance of biomechanical factors in the formation and progression of keloids and highlight their regulatory value. These findings may help facilitate the development of pharmacological interventions that can ultimately prevent and reduce keloid formation and progression.

Abstract
An early and sustained immune response can lead to chronic inflammation after the implant is placed in the body. The implantable materials with immunomodulatory effects can reduce the body's immune response and promote the formation of ideal osseointegration between the implants and bone tissue. In this study, zinc-coated titanium micro-arc oxide coating was prepared on titanium surface by micro-arc oxidation. The physical properties, anti-inflammation, and osteogenesis of the material were evaluated. We have physically characterized the surface structure of the coatings by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and detected the release of Zn2+ from the coating surface by inductively coupled optical plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The BMSCs were inoculated on the surface of the coating, and the biocompatibility of the coating was evaluated by CCK-8 analysis and living and dead cell staining. The osteogenic effect of the layer on BMSCs was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays, osteocalcin (OCN) immunofluorescence, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR). The survival status of RAW264.7 on the coating surface and the mRNA expression of the associated proinflammatory markers, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86), and inducible nitric oxide (INOS) were detected by CCK-8 analysis and q-PCR. In parallel, the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) analysis and q-PCR screened and evaluated the effective concentration of Zn2+ anti-inflammatory in vitro. The results show that the coating has good physical characterization, and Zn is uniformly bound to the surface of titanium and shows stable release and good biocompatibility to BMSCs, downregulating the expression of inflammation-related genes promoting the bone formation of BMSCs. We have successfully prepared zinc-coated micro-arc titanium oxide coating on the titanium surface, which has good osteogenesis and great anti-inflammatory potential and provides a new way for osseointegration in the implant.

Abstract
Purpose Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) remains an unresolved clinical challenge and can lead to frequent revision surgery and blindness vision loss. The aim of this study was to characterize the microenvironment of epiretinal PVR tissue, in order to shed more light on the complex pathophysiology and to unravel new treatment options. Methods A total of 44 tissue samples were analyzed in this study, including 19 epiretinal PVRs, 13 epiretinal membranes (ERMs) from patients with macular pucker, as well as 12 internal limiting membranes (ILMs). The cellular and molecular microenvironment was assessed by cell type deconvolution analysis (xCell), RNA sequencing data and single-cell imaging mass cytometry. Candidate drugs for PVR treatment were identified in silico via a transcriptome-based drug-repurposing approach. Results RNA sequencing of tissue samples demonstrated distinct transcriptional profiles of PVR, ERM, and ILM samples. Differential gene expression analysis revealed 3194 upregulated genes in PVR compared with ILM, including FN1 and SPARC, which contribute to biological processes, such as extracellular matrix (ECM) organization. The xCell and IMC analyses showed that PVR membranes were composed of macrophages, retinal pigment epithelium, and α-SMA-positive myofibroblasts, the latter predominantly characterized by the co-expression of immune cell signature markers. Finally, 13 drugs were identified as potential therapeutics for PVR, including aminocaproic acid and various topoisomerase-2A inhibitors. Conclusions Epiretinal PVR membranes exhibit a unique and complex transcriptional and cellular profile dominated by immune cells and myofibroblasts, as well as a variety of ECM components. Our findings provide new insights into the pathophysiology of PVR and suggest potential targeted therapeutic options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metals are trace elements, vital in some instances or toxic in others. Due to this toxicity, they have been used since ancient time as antimicrobials, and prescribed when plant-only remedies were not efficient enough. These remedies could still contain secrets that may lead to the discovery of new therapeutically interesting combinations. The objective of this study was to give a proof of concept that such remedies combining metals and plants are worth studying again. METHODS We exploited 4 medical formularies (aqrābādhīn), from three Arab authors from the 9-12th century. We reproduced a remedy, and analyzed the role of each ingredient. We further looked for the minimum inhibitory concentration against three pathogenic bacteria, and we analyzed toxic and inflammatory effects of this remedy on macrophages. RESULTS Even if plants were extensively used (almost 80 % of all ingredients), more than 36 different minerals have been found in these 4 aqrābādhīn. When it came to remedies against infections that could be applied externally, the use of metals grew to 70 %. We focused on a remedy, containing mainly metals. We have been able to attribute a role for each ingredient, to show that this skin remedy helped to combat the infection and to resorb the wound, and to highlight the mastering of metal transformation by these physicians. CONCLUSIONS With a very simple recipe, mainly composed of metals, these past physicians designed a complete and synergistic remedy to combat abscesses, while restricting the toxic effect of metals to the site of infection. It is a first example showing that different metal manufactures were evolved to improve their therapeutic potentials. The knowledge acquired by these physician should deserve more attention, and unexpected features, original organo-metallic compounds or therapeutic synergy could still be found from such research.

Human adipose-derived stem cell-loaded small intestinal submucosa as a bioactive wound dressing for the treatment of diabetic wounds in rats. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 136:212793.

Abstract
Chronic nonhealing wounds are one of the most common and serious complications of diabetes, which can lead to disability of patients. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as a promising tool for skin wound healing, but the therapeutic potential depends considerably on the cell delivery system. Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is an extracellular matrix-based membranous scaffold with outstanding repair potential for skin wounds. In this study, we first fabricated a bioactive wound dressing, termed the SIS+ADSCs composite, by using human ADSCs as the seed cell and porcine SIS as the cell delivery vehicle. Then, we systematically investigated, for the first time, the healing potential of this wound dressing in a rat model of type 2 diabetes. In vitro studies revealed that SIS provided a favorable microenvironment for ADSCs and significantly promoted the expression of growth factors critical for chronic wound healing. After implantation in the full-thickness skin wounds of diabetic rats, the SIS+ADSCs composite showed a higher wound healing rate and wound healing quality than those in the PBS, ADSCs, and SIS groups. Along with the ability to modulate the polarization of macrophages in vivo, the SIS+ADSCs composite was potent at promoting wound angiogenesis, reepithelialization, and skin appendage regeneration. Taken together, these results indicate that the SIS+ADSCs composite has good therapeutic potential and high translational value for diabetic wound treatment.

Abstract
Background Acute skin wounds may compromise the skin barrier, posing a risk of infection. Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is widely used to treat acute and chronic wounds. However, the efficacy of SIS to accelerate wound healing still needs to be improved to meet clinical demands. To tackle this problem, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used due to its potency to promote proliferation, migration and adhesion of target cells. In this study, we applied PRP and SIS to skin wounds to explore their effects on wound healing by evaluating re-epithelialization, collagen production, angiogenesis and the inflammatory response. Methods A 1 × 1-cm full-thickness skin defect was established in mice. Sixty mice were divided into four treatment groups: PRP + SIS, PRP, SIS and control. On days 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 post-surgery, tissue specimens were harvested. Haematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence double staining were used to visualize epidermal thickness, collagen and vascular regeneration and inflammation. Results Wound contraction in the PRP and PRP + SIS groups was significantly greater, compared with the other groups, on days 3 and 5 post-surgery. A histological analysis showed higher collagen expression in the PRP and PRP + SIS groups on day 7, which was associated with a thicker epidermal layer on day 14. In addition, immunohistochemical staining showed that CD31-positive blood vessels and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in the PRP + SIS and PRP groups were significantly higher, compared with the control group. Furthermore, immunofluorescence double staining showed that the number of M1 and M2 macrophages in the PRP + SIS and PRP groups was higher, compared with the control and SIS groups alone, on day 3. However, on day 7, the number of M1 macrophages dramatically decreased in the PRP + SIS and PRP groups. The ratio of M2 to M1 macrophages in the PRP + SIS and PRP groups was 3.97 and 2.93 times that of the control group and 4.56 and 3.37 times that of the SIS group, respectively. Conclusion Co-administration of SIS and PRP has a better effect on promoting angiogenesis, re-epithelialization and collagen regeneration in managing acute wound healing than either agent alone.

Abstract
Skin wounds and compromised wound healing are major concerns for the public. Although skin wound healing has been studied for decades, the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind the process are still not completely clear. The systemic responses to trauma involve the body’s inflammatory and immunomodulatory cellular and humoral networks. Studies over the years provided essential insights into a complex and dynamic immunity during the cutaneous wound healing process. This review will focus on innate cell populations involved in the initial phase of this orchestrated process, including innate cells from both the skin and the immune system.

Heterogeneity in extracellular vesicle secretion by single human macrophages revealed by super-resolution microscopy. J Extracell Vesicles 2022; 11:e12215. [PMID: 35415881 PMCID: PMC9006015 DOI: 10.1002/jev2.12215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The diverse origins, nanometre‐scale and invasive isolation procedures associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) mean they are usually studied in bulk and disconnected from their parental cell. Here, we used super‐resolution microscopy to directly compare EVs secreted by individual human monocyte‐derived macrophages (MDMs). MDMs were differentiated to be M0‐, M1‐ or M2‐like, with all three secreting EVs at similar densities following activation. However, M0‐like cells secreted larger EVs than M1‐ and M2‐like macrophages. Proteomic analysis revealed variations in the contents of differently sized EVs as well as between EVs secreted by different MDM phenotypes. Super resolution microscopy of single‐cell secretions identified that the class II MHC protein, HLA‐DR, was expressed on ∼40% of EVs secreted from M1‐like MDMs, which was double the frequency observed for M0‐like and M2‐like EVs. Strikingly, human macrophages, isolated from the resected lungs of cancer patients, secreted EVs that expressed HLA‐DR at double the frequency and with greater intensity than M1‐like EVs. Quantitative analysis of single‐cell EV profiles from all four macrophage phenotypes revealed distinct secretion types, five of which were consistent across multiple sample cohorts. A sub‐population of M1‐like MDMs secreted EVs similar to lung macrophages, suggesting an expansion or recruitment of cells with a specific EV secretion profile within the lungs of cancer patients. Thus, quantitative analysis of EV heterogeneity can be used for single cell profiling and to reveal novel macrophage biology.

Abstract
Poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) implants suffer from poor osseointegration because of chronic inflammation. In this study, we hypothesized that adding NH2 and COOH groups to the surface of PEEK could modulate macrophage responses by altering protein adsorption and improve its osseointegration. NH2 and COOH-functionalized PEEK surfaces induced pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophage responses, respectively, and differences in protein adsorption patterns on these surfaces were related to the varied inflammatory responses. The macrophage responses to NH2 surfaces significantly reduced the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs cultured on NH2 surfaces differentiated less than those on COOH surfaces even though NH2 surfaces promoted the most mineralization in simulated body fluid solutions. After 14 days in rat tibia unicortical defects, the bone around NH2 surfaces had thinner trabeculae and higher specific bone surface than the bone around unmodified implants; surprisingly, the NH2 implants significantly increased bone-binding over the unmodified implants, while COOH implants only showed a trend for increasing bone-binding. Taken together, these results suggest that both mineral-binding and immune responses play a role in osseointegration, and PEEK implant integration may be improved with mixtures of these two functional groups to harness the ability to reduce inflammation and bind bone strongly.

Evaluation and Optimization of Prolonged Release Mucoadhesive Tablets of Dexamethasone for Wound Healing: In Vitro–In Vivo Profiling in Healthy Volunteers. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14040807. [PMID: 35456641 PMCID: PMC9024596 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14040807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the projected study was to design and develop a novel strategy for evaluating the mucoadhesive potential of polymeric tablets of dexamethasone (DXM) for local delivery against wounds. Therefore, formulations (Q1–Q7) were synthesized via direct compression method by varying the concentrations of polymers, i.e., ethyl cellulose (EC) and agar extract (AG). Moreover, the mucoadhesive polymeric tablets were characterized via physicochemical, in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo experiments. However, physicochemical characteristics such as FTIR showed no interaction with different polymeric combination. Surface pH of all formulations was normal to slightly alkaline. Highest hydration of up to 6.22% and swelling index was comprehended with maximum concentration of AG (50% of total tablet weight). Whereas, ex vivo and in vivo residence time and mucoadhesion were attributed to the increased concentrations of polymers. Moreover, Q7, (optimized formulation), containing 10% of EC and 40% of AG, exhibited maximum release of DXM (100%) over 8 h, along with sufficient mucoadhesive strength up to 11.73 g, following first-order kinetics having r2 value of 0.9778. Hemostatic effects and epithelialization for triggering and promoting wound healing were highly pronounced in cases of Q7. Furthermore, in vivo residence time was 7.84 h followed by salivary drug concentration (4.2 µg/mL). However, mucoadhesive buccal tablets showed stability for 6 months, thus following the standardization (ICH-Iva) stability zone. In summary, DXM mucoadhesive tablets seem to be an ideal candidate for eradication of wound infections via local targeted delivery.

Abstract
To characterise the distribution, classification, and quantity of foamy macrophages (FMs) in tuberculous wound tissue and the relationship between FM and delayed healing of tuberculous wounds. Morphological studies were performed to explore the distribution of FM and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in tuberculous wounds, with acute and chronic wounds included for comparison. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate stimulation-differentiated THP-1 cells were treated with Mtb to induce their differentiation into FM with oxidised low-density lipoprotein treatment serving as a control. Relative cytokine levels were determined by quantitative PCR and Western blotting. Varied co-culture combinations of Mtb, THP-1, FM, and fibroblasts were performed, and proliferation, migration, ability to contract collagen gel, and protein levels of the chemokines in the supernatants of the fibroblasts were assessed. The differentially expressed genes in human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) after co-culture with or without FM were identified using microarray. Many FM were found in the tissues of tuberculous wounds. The FM that did not engulf Mtb (NM-FM) were mainly distributed in tissues surrounding tuberculous wounds, whereas the FM that engulfed Mtb (M-FM) were dominantly located within granulomatous tissues. Co-culture experiments showed that, with the Mtb co-culture, the portions of NM-FM in the total FM grew over time. The migration, proliferation, chemokine secretion, and the ability of fibroblasts to contract collagen gel were inhibited when co-cultured with Mtb, FM, or a combination of the two. Further investigation showed that the TLRs/NF-κB signalling pathway is involved in fibroblast function under the stimulation of FM. TLRs and NF-κB agonists could reverse the phenotypic changes in HSFs after co-culture with FM. The tuberculous wound microenvironment composed of Mtb and FM may affect wound healing by inhibiting the functions of fibroblasts. FM potentially inhibit fibroblasts' function by inhibiting the TLRs/NF-κB signalling pathway in tuberculous wounds.

Abstract
Diabetic wound treatment faces significant challenges in clinical settings. Alternative treatment approaches are needed. Continuous bleeding, disordered inflammatory regulation, obstruction of cell proliferation, and disturbance of tissue remodeling are the main characteristics of diabetic wound healing. Hydrogels made of either naturally derived or synthetic materials can potentially be designed with a variety of functions for managing the healing process of chronic wounds. Here, a hemostatic and anti-inflammatory hydrogel patch is designed for promoting diabetic wound healing. The hydrogel patch is derived from dual-cross-linked methacryloyl-substituted Bletilla Striata polysaccharide (B) and gelatin (G) via ultraviolet (UV) light. It is demonstrated that the B-G hydrogel can effectively regulate the M1/M2 phenotype of macrophages, significantly promote the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts in vitro, and accelerate angiogenesis. It can boost wound closure by normalizing epidermal tissue regeneration and depositing collagen appropriately in vivo without exogenous cytokine supplementation. Overall, the B-G bioactive hydrogel can promote diabetic wound healing in a simple, economical, effective, and safe manner.

Abstract
Prepubertal obesity (PPO) has emerged as a major health problem over the past few decades and is a risk factor for the development of proteinuria. The current study investigated whether the development of renal injury in the obese SSLepR mutant strain occurs before puberty. When determining the temporal changes in serum sex hormones in female and male SS and SSLepR mutant rats between 4 and 10 wk of age, we only observed significant increases in estradiol and testosterone levels in female and male SS rats at 10 wk of age than at 4 wk of age. The results suggest that studying both strains between 4 and 8 wk of age is appropriate to study the effects of PPO on renal injury in this model. Proteinuria was significantly higher in SSLepR mutant rats as opposed to the values observed in SS rats at 8 wk of age, and we did not observe any sex differences in proteinuria in either strain. The kidneys from the SSLepR mutant rats displayed significant glomerular and tubular injury and renal fibrosis versus the values measured in SS rats without any sex differences. Overall, we observed increased immune cell infiltration in the kidneys from SSLepR mutant rats compared with SS rats. Interestingly, female SSLepR mutant rats displayed significant increases in not only M1 macrophages (proinflammatory) but also M2 macrophages (anti-inflammatory) versus male SSLepR mutant rats. These results suggest the SSLepR mutant rat may be a useful model to study early progression of obesity-related renal injury before the onset of puberty.

Abstract
Chronic skin wounds impose immense suffers and economic burdens. Current research mainly focuses on acute wound management which exhibits less effective in chronic wound healing. Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) has profound effects on several important physiological processes related to chronic wound healing, such as inflammation, cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis. This review summarizes recent advances in biology of chronic wounds and the potential role of GDF11 on wound healing with its regenerative effects, as well as the potential delivery methods of GDF11. The challenges and future perspectives of GDF11-based therapy for chronic wound care are also discussed. The Translational Potential of this Article: This review summarized the significance of GDF11 in the modulation of inflammation, vascularization, cell proliferation, and remodeling, which are important physiological processes of chronic wound healing. The potential delivery methods of GDF11 in the management of chronic wound healing is also summarized. This review may provide potential therapeutic approaches based on GDF11 for chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Dental implants have been widely accepted as an ideal therapy to replace the missing teeth for its good performance in aspects of mechanical properties and aesthetic outcomes. Its restorative success is contributed by not only the successful osseointegration of the implant but also the tight soft tissue integration, especially the collagen fibers, in the transmucosal region. Soft tissue attaching to the dental implant/abutment is overall similar, but in some aspects distinct with that seen around natural teeth and soft tissue integration can be enhanced via several surface modification methods. This review is going to focus on the current knowledge of the transmucosal zone around the dental implants (compared with natural teeth), and latest strategies in use to fine-tune the collagen fibers assembly in the connective tissue, in an attempt to enhance soft tissue integration.

Abstract
Implantation of biomedical devices is followed by immune response to the implant, as well as occasionally bacterial, yeast and/or fungal infections. In this context, new implant materials and coatings that deal with medical device-associated complications are required. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory materials are also required for wound healing applications, especially in diabetic patients with chronic wounds. In this work, we present hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels with triple activity: antimicrobial, immunomodulatory and miRNA delivery agent. We demonstrate that polyarginine with a degree of polymerization of 30 (PAR30), which was previously shown to have a prolonged antibacterial activity, decreases inflammatory response of LPS-stimulated macrophages. In addition, PAR30 accelerated fibroblast migration in macrophage/fibroblast co-culture system, suggesting a positive effect on wound healing. Furthermore, PAR30 allowed to load miRNA into HA hydrogels, and then to deliver them into the cells. To our knowledge, this study is the first describing miRNA-loaded hydrogels with antibacterial effect and anti-inflammatory features. Such system can become a tool for the treatment of infected wounds, e.g. diabetic ulcers, as well as for foreign body response modulation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Solid tumours are composed of cancer cells characterised by genetic mutations that underpin the disease, but also contain a suite of genetically normal cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). These two latter components are constituents of the tumour microenvironment (TME), and are key determinants of tumour biology and thereby the outcomes for patients. The tumour ECM has been the subject of intense research over the past two decades, revealing key biochemical and mechanobiological principles that underpin its role in tumour cell proliferation and survival. However, the ECM also strongly influences the genetically normal immune cells within the microenvironment, regulating not only their proliferation and survival, but also their differentiation and access to tumour cells. Here we review recent advances in our knowledge of how the ECM regulates the tumour immune microenvironment and vice versa, comparing normal skin wound healing to the pathological condition of tumour progression.

Topical Administration of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Accelerates the Healing of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers through Modifications of Infection, Angiogenesis, Macrophage Phenotype and Neutrophil Response. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10030634. [PMID: 35336209 PMCID: PMC8955315 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10030634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
This work aimed to evaluate the adjuvant treatment to surgical debridement using topical applications of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 10241 cultures in complicated diabetic foot ulcers as compared to diabetic foot ulcers receiving surgical wound debridement. A randomised controlled trial was performed involving 22 outpatients with complicated diabetic foot ulcers that either received surgical debridement (SuDe, n = 12) or surgical debridement plus topical applications of L. plantarum cultures (SuDe + Lp, n = 10) every week during a 12 week treatment period. Compared to patients receiving SuDe, patients treated with SuDe + Lp exhibited significantly increased fibroplasia and angiogenesis, as determined by Masson’s trichrome staining and the study of CD34 cells, α-smooth muscle actin to semi-quantify vascular area, number of vessels and endothelial cells. In addition, a promotion of the polarisation of macrophages from M1 (CD68) to M2 (CD163) phenotype was observed in SuDe + Lp patients with remarkable differences in the tissue localisation. Bacterial counts were significantly diminished in the SuDe + Lp group compared to the SuDe group. Ex vivo assays, using polymorphonuclears isolated from peripheral blood of patients with diabetes and healthy individuals and challenged with Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated that the addition of L. plantarum supernatants significantly improved the phagocytosis of these cells. L. plantarum-secreted components increased the neutrophils bactericidal activity and regulated the netosis induced by S. aureus. At day 49, the average wound area reduction with SuDe + Lp was 73.5% compared with 45.8% for SuDe (p < 0.05). More patients progressed to closure with SuDe + Lp compared with SuDe treatment, indicating the ability of L. plantarum to accelerate the healing. At day 60, 60% of patients treated with SuDe + Lp achieved 100% of wound area reduction compared with 40% for SuDe. We propose that SuDe + Lp could be an effective adjuvant to surgical debridement when SuDe is not satisfactory for patients with complicated diabetic foot ulcers. The treatment is cheap and easy to apply and the product is easy to obtain.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) is an emerging tool applied in the biomedical field. With combination of different materials and adjustment of their physical and chemical properties, nanoparticles can have diverse effects on the organism and may change the treating paradigm of multiple diseases in the future. More and more results show that nanoparticles can function as immunomodulators and some formulas have been approved for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases. However, our current understanding of the mechanisms that nanoparticles can influence immune responses is still limited, and systemic clinical trials are necessary for the evaluation of their security and long-term effects. This review provides an overview of the recent advances in nanoparticles that can interact with different cellular and molecular components of the immune system and their application in the management of inflammatory diseases, which are caused by abnormal immune reactions. This article focuses on the mechanisms of interaction between nanoparticles and the immune system and tries to provide a reference for the future design of nanotechnology for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Female sex hormones are beneficial effects for wound healing. However, till date, whether topical estrogen application can promote cutaneous wound healing in diabetes remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to validate the effect of topical estrogen application on cutaneous wound healing in a type 2 diabetes db/db mice model. In total, 22 db/db female mice with type 2 diabetes and eight C57BL/6J female mice were subjected to two full-thickness wound injuries. The mice were divided into the db/db, db/db + estrogen, db/db + vehicle, and wild type (WT) groups. Wound healing was assessed until day 14. The db/db group had a significantly high wound area ratio (wound area/initial wound area) on days 3–14 and a significantly low re-epithelialization ratio on days 7 and 14. Moreover, their angiogenesis ratio was significantly low on day 7 and high on day 14. In contrast, compared with the db/db group, the db/db + estrogen group had a significantly lower wound area ratio on days 1–14 and angiogenesis ratio on day 14, thereby indicating early withdrawal of new blood vessels, as well as a significantly higher re-epithelialization ratio on days 7 and 14 and Ym1+ M2 macrophage/macrophage ratio on day 7. Moreover, microarray analysis showed that the top 10 upregulated or downregulated genes in the db/db group were reversed by estrogen treatment, particularly on day 14, in comparison with the WT group. Thus, topical estrogen application reduced the wound area, promoted re-epithelialization and angiogenesis, and increased the number of M2 macrophages in mice with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, it improved the differential regulation of genes in db/db mice. Therefore, such treatment can enhance cutaneous wound healing in female mice with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Significance: Cutaneous scarring affects millions of patients worldwide and results in significant financial and psychosocial burdens. Given the immune system's intricate involvement in the initiation and progression of wound healing, it is no surprise that the scarring outcome can be affected by the actions of various immune cells and the cytokines and growth factors they produce. Understanding the role of T cells in regulating immune responses and directing the action of wound mesenchymal cells is essential to developing antifibrotic therapies to reduce the burden of scarring. Recent Advances: As the immune system is intimately involved in wound healing, much work has examined the impact of T cells and their cytokines on the final wound outcome. New innovative tools for studying T cells have resulted in more sophisticated immunophenotyping capabilities and the ability to examine effects of individual cytokines in the wound environment. Critical Issues: Despite continued advances in the study of specific immune cells and their effects on dermal fibrosis, minimal progress has been made to modulate immune responses to result in improved wound cosmesis. Future Directions: The actions of T cells represent potential pharmacologic targets that could lead to novel bioengineered or immunoengineered therapies to improve the lives of people with cutaneous scarring.

Abstract
After cartilage damage, a large number of monocytes/macrophages infiltrate into adjacent synovium and the resident macrophages in synovial tissue transform to activated macrophages (M1), which secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines to induce sustained inflammation and chondrocyte apoptotic. However, current clinical therapies for cartilage repair can rarely achieve long-term anti-inflammatory regulation and satisfactory outcomes. Herein, a platelet lysate-rich plasma macroporous hydrogel (PLPMH) scaffold with around 100 µm pore size and 1.25 MPa Young's modulus is developed to sustainedly recruit and polarize endogenous anti-inflammatory macrophages (M2) for improving cartilage defect repair. PLPMH scaffold can steadily release sphingosine1-phosphate and proteins via gradual degradation, thus inducing M2 macrophages migration or resting (M0) macrophages migration and then polarization to M2 phenotype, and improving the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, PLPMH scaffold exhibits negligible inflammatory responses in vivo and promotes endogenous M2 macrophage infiltration in large numbers and long-time duration to provide a local anti-inflammatory microenvironment, which even lasts for 42 d. In a rabbit model of cartilage defect, PLPMH scaffold increases the ratio of M2 macrophages and improves cartilage tissue regeneration. These studies support that PLPMH scaffold may have a great potential in articular cartilage tissue engineering by providing an anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative microenvironment.

Abstract
Simple Summary Cutaneous wound healing is a complex and tightly regulated biological process to restore physiological and anatomic function. Current knowledge of cutaneous wound healing is mostly based on studies in laboratory animals and humans. The histological and immunological features of skin, for example, cutaneous thickness, cellular components, and immune response, are not identical among animal species, and these differences may lead to substantial effects in cutaneous wound healing. In field observation, large cutaneous wounds in cetaceans could heal without medical treatments. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms, and there is no histological study on full-thickness wound healing in cetaceans. The current study characterizes the macroscopic and histological features of large full-thickness wound healing in Fraser’s dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei). The differences of wound healing between cetaceans and terrestrial mammals were shown from the histological aspect, including rete and dermal ridge appearance, repigmentation, and adipose tissue regeneration. Better understanding of the mechanism of full-thickness wound healing in cetaceans will shed light on veterinary and human regenerative medicine, leading to novel therapies. Abstract Cetaceans are tight-skinned mammals that exhibit an extraordinary capacity to heal deep soft tissue injuries. However, essential information of large full-thickness wound healing in cetaceans is still lacking. Here, the stages of full-thickness wound healing were characterized in Fraser’s dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei). The skin samples were collected from normal skin and full-thickness cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis)-bite wounds of stranded carcasses. We defined five stages of wound healing according to macroscopic and histopathological examinations. Wounds in Stage 1 and 2 were characterized by intercellular and intracellular edema in the epidermal cells near the wound edge, mixed inflammatory cell infiltration, and degradation of collagen fibers. In Stage 3 wounds, melanocytes, melanin granules, rete and dermal ridges were noticed in the neo-epidermis, and the adipose tissue in adjacent blubber was replaced by cells and fibers. Wounds in Stage 4 and 5 were characterized by gradual restoration of the normal skin architecture including rete and dermal ridges, collagen bundles, and adipose tissue. These phenomena were quite different from previous studies in terrestrial tight-skinned mammals, and therefore, further in-depth research into the mechanisms of dolphin wound healing would be needed to gain new insights into veterinary and human regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Intestinal fibrosis is a common complication in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) without specific treatment. As macrophages are the key actors in inflammatory responses and the wound healing process, they have been extensively studied in chronic diseases these past decades. By their exceptional ability to integrate diverse stimuli in their surrounding environment, macrophages display a multitude of phenotypes to underpin a broad spectrum of functions, from the initiation to the resolution of inflammation following injury. The hypothesis that distinct macrophage subtypes could be involved in fibrogenesis and wound healing is emerging and could open up new therapeutic perspectives in the treatment of intestinal fibrosis. Gut microbiota and diet are two key factors capable of modifying intestinal macrophage profiles, shaping their specific function. Defects in macrophage polarisation, inadequate dietary habits, and alteration of microbiota composition may contribute to the development of intestinal fibrosis. In this review, we describe the intriguing triangle between intestinal macrophages, diet, and gut microbiota in homeostasis and how the perturbation of this discreet balance may lead to a pro-fibrotic environment and influence fibrogenesis in the gut.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that attacks almost every organ. The condition mostly happens to adults but is also found in children, and the latter have the most severe manifestations. Among adults, females, especially non-Caucasian, are mostly affected. Even if the etiology of SLE remains unclear, studies show a close relation between this disease and both genetics and environment. Despite the large number of published articles about SLE, we still do not have a clear picture of its pathogenesis, and no specific drug has been found to treat this condition effectively. The implication of macrophages in SLE development is gaining ground, and studying it could answer these gaps. Indeed, both in vivo and in vitro studies increasingly report a strong link between this disease and macrophages. Hence, this review aims to explore the role of macrophages polarization and plasticity in SLE development. Understanding this role is of paramount importance because in-depth knowledge of the connection between macrophages and this systemic disease could clarify its pathogenesis and provide a foundation for macrophage-centered therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent chronic inflammation is one of the main pathogenic characteristics of diabetic wounds. The resolution of inflammation is important for wound healing and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. Interleukin (IL)-25 can modulate the function of macrophage and fibroblast, but its role and mechanism of action in the treatment of diabetic wounds remain largely unclear. METHODS The mice were categorized into diabetic, diabetic + IL-25 and control groups. Human monocytic THP-1 cell line and human dermal fibroblast (HDF) were stimulated under different IL-25 conditions. Then, flow cytometry, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blot (WB), and immunofluorescence (IF) assays were carried out. RESULTS The mice in diabetes group (DG) had a slower wound healing rate, more severe inflammation, less blood vessels and more disordered collagen than those in control group (CG). Intradermal injection of IL-25 could improve these conditions. IL-25 promoted M2 macrophage polarization and fibroblast activation in DG and high-glucose environment. The phenomenon, which was dependent on PI3K/AKT/mTOR and TGF-β/SMAD signaling, could be blocked by LY294002 and LY2109761. CONCLUSION IL-25 may serve as a therapeutic target to improve wound healing in diabetic mice.

Abstract
Monocytes and lymphocytes play a key role in physiologic wound healing and might be involved in the impaired mechanisms observed in diabetes. Skin wound macrophages are represented by tissue resident macrophages and infiltrating peripheral blood recruited monocytes which play a leading role during the inflammatory phase of wound repair. The impaired transition of diabetic wound macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 phenotypes to anti-inflammatory pro-regenerative M2 phenotypes might represent a key issue for impaired diabetic wound healing. This review will focus on the role of immune system cells in normal skin and diabetic wound repair. Furthermore, it will give an insight into therapy able to immuno-modulate wound healing processes toward to a regenerative anti-inflammatory fashion. Different approaches, such as cell therapy, exosome, and dermal substitute able to promote the M1 to M2 switch and able to positively influence healing processes in chronic wounds will be discussed.

Abstract
The immune system undergoes a progressive functional remodeling with age. Understanding how age bias shapes antitumor immunity is essential in designing effective immunotherapies, especially for pediatric patients. Here, we explore antitumor CD8+ T cell responses generated in young (prepubescent) and adult (presenescent) mice. Using an MHCI-deficient tumor model, we observed that tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells expanded in young tumor-bearing (TB) mice acquired a terminally differentiated phenotype characterized by overexpression of inhibitory receptors and the transcription factor Tox1. Furthermore, tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells from young tumors yielded a poor cytokine response compared with CD8+ T cells infiltrating adult tumors. Young migratory dendritic cells (migDCs) from the draining lymph nodes (dLNs), and mononuclear phagocytic cells (MPCs) infiltrating young tumors, were more competent in capturing and cross-presenting tumor antigen, leading to enhanced priming of CD8+ T cells in dLNs and their subsequent terminal differentiation in the tumors. Single-cell transcriptional profiling of tumor-infiltrating MPCs demonstrated that young MPCs are polarized toward an inflammatory, effector phenotype. Consistent with our observations in young versus adult TB mice, analysis of immune infiltrates from pediatric solid tumors showed a correlation between tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells with an exhaustion phenotype and the frequency of PD-L1-expressing monocytes/macrophages. Collectively, these data indicate that a young tissue microenvironment contributes to the generation of an immune response skewed toward a less pliable terminal effector state, thus narrowing the window for immunotherapeutic interventions.

Macrophage Depletion Reduces Disease Pathology in Factor H-Dependent Immune Complex-Mediated Glomerulonephritis. J Immunol Res 2022; 2022:1737419. [PMID: 35097132 PMCID: PMC8794693 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1737419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Complement factor H (FH) is a key regulator of the alternative pathway of complement, in man and mouse. Earlier, our studies revealed that the absence of FH causes the C57BL6 mouse to become susceptible to chronic serum sickness (CSS) along with an increase in the renal infiltration of macrophages compared to controls. To understand if the increased recruitment of macrophages (Mϕs) to the kidney was driving inflammation and propagating injury, we examined the effect of Mϕ depletion with clodronate in FH knockout mice with CSS. Eight-week-old FHKO mice were treated with apoferritin (4 mg/mouse) for 5 wks and with either vehicle (PBS) or clodronate (50 mg/kg ip, 3 times/wk for the last 3 weeks). The administration of clodronate decreased monocytes and Mϕs in the kidneys by >80%. Kidney function assessed by BUN and albumin remained closer to normal on depletion of Mϕs. Clodronate treatment prevented the alteration in cytokines, TNFα and IL-6, and increase in gene expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), TGFβ-1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), fibronectin, laminin, and collagen in FHKO mice with CSS (P < 0.05). Clodronate treatment led to relative protection from immune complex- (IC-) mediated disease pathology during CSS as assessed by the significantly reduced glomerular pathology (GN) and extracellular matrix. Our results suggest that complement activation is one of the mechanism that regulates the macrophage landscape and thereby fibrosis. The exact mechanism remains to be deciphered. In brief, our data shows that Mϕs play a critical role in FH-dependent ICGN and Mϕ depletion reduces disease progression.
