Abstract
Diabetic wounds, characterized by prolonged inflammation and impaired vascularization, are a serious complication of diabetes. This study aimed to design a gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel for the sustained release of netrin-1 and evaluate its potential as a scaffold to promote diabetic wound healing. The results showed that netrin-1 was highly expressed during the inflammation and proliferation phases of normal wounds, whereas it synchronously exhibited aberrantly low expression in diabetic wounds. Neutralization of netrin-1 inhibited normal wound healing, and the topical application of netrin-1 accelerated diabetic wound healing. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that netrin-1 regulated macrophage heterogeneity via the A2bR/STAT/PPARγ signaling pathway and promoted the function of endothelial cells, thus accelerating diabetic wound healing. These data suggest that netrin-1 is a potential therapeutic target for diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a foremost cause of amputation in diabetic patients. Consequences of DFU include infections, decline in limb function, hospitalization, amputation, and in severe cases, death. Immune cells including macrophages, regulatory T cells, fibroblasts and other damage repair cells work in sync for effective healing and in establishment of a healthy skin barrier post-injury. Immune dysregulation during the healing of wounds can result in wound chronicity. Hyperglycemic conditions in diabetic patients influence the pathophysiology of wounds by disrupting the immune system as well as promoting neuropathy and ischemic conditions, making them difficult to heal. Chronic wound microenvironment is characterized by increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases, reactive oxygen species as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines, resulting in persistent inflammation and delayed healing. Novel treatment modalities including growth factor therapies, nano formulations, microRNA based treatments and skin grafting approaches have significantly augmented treatment efficiency, demonstrating creditable efficacy in clinical practices. Advancements in local treatments as well as invasive methodologies, for instance formulated wound dressings, stem cell applications and immunomodulatory therapies have been successful in targeting the complex pathophysiology of chronic wounds. This review focuses on elucidating the intricacies of emerging physical and non-physical therapeutic interventions, delving into the realm of advanced wound care and comprehensively summarizing efficacy of evidence-based therapies for DFU currently available.

Abstract
Exploring affordable and easily prepared inorganic-organic hybrid membrane materials has attracted a great interest in the bone repair field. This study is based on biomimetic mineralization technique to study the role of phosvitin (PV) in the mineralized process of eggshell inner membrane. Results showed that PV promoted the formation of hydroxyapatite on the eggshell inner membrane surface, and the phosvitin content in the simulated body fluid was decreased during the mineralization process. Besides, in vitro preosteoblast experiments indicated that mineralized membrane with PV exhibited more conducive to cell proliferation and differentiation than that mineralized membrane without PV. Interestingly, with the increase of mineralization time, the stimulating ability of mineralized membranes with PV on adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen type I content gradually improved. In summary, the eggshell inner membrane composites mineralized with PV obtained by biomimetic mineralization might be potential scaffold materials for bone repair.

Abstract
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) poses a significant threat to fetal viability and increases the risk for newborn morbidities. The perinatal period of preterm infants affected by pPROM is often characterized by higher rates of mortality and morbidity, with associated risks of cerebral palsy, developmental delays, compromised immune function, respiratory diseases, and sensory impairments. pPROM is believed to result from a variety of causes, including but not limited to microbially induced infections, stretching of fetal membranes, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and age-related changes in the fetal-placental interface. Maternal stress, nutritional deficiencies, and medically induced procedures such as fetoscopy are also considered potential contributing factors to pPROM. This comprehensive review explores the potential etiologies leading to pPROM, delves into the intricate molecular mechanisms through which these etiologies cause membrane ruptures, and provides a concise overview of diagnostic and treatment approaches for pPROM. Based on available therapeutic options, this review proposes and explores the possibilities of utilizing a novel composite hydrogel composed of amniotic membrane particles for repairing ruptured fetal membranes, thereby holding promise for its clinical application.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have shown great therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases, as they can target cells or tissues. However, the therapeutic effect of EVs is limited due to the susceptibility of EVs to immune system clearance during transport in vivo. Hydrogels have become an ideal delivery platform for EVs due to their good biocompatibility and porous structure. This article reviews the preparation and application of EVs-loaded hydrogels as a cell-free therapy strategy in the treatment of diseases. The article also discusses the challenges and future outlook of EVs-loaded hydrogels.

Abstract
Trauma can damage the structural integrity of skin leading to its function being affected. There is an urgent clinical need for innovative therapeutic wound dressings. However, several challenges persist despite the current demands. The development and application of functional dressings offer a novel approach to address skin and subcutaneous soft tissue defects. Amniotic membrane as an ideal biological multifunctional material covering wound surface has been reported in clinic. However, current clinical applications of amniotic membrane still have limitations, such as thinness and mechanically weak. In this paper, we employed decellularized human amniotic membrane (dHAM) as a bioactive extracellular matrix (ECM) and modified it through methacrylate (MA) grafting for engineering purposes, resulting in the photosensitive dECMMA. Subsequently, we utilized a photosensitizer to achieve photopolymerization of dECMMA with GelMA hydrogel, successfully creating a novel composite hydrogel termed dECMMA/GelMA. This composite hydrogel not only inherits the favorable physicochemical properties of hydrogels but also maintains comparable levels of bioactivity to dHAM itself, supporting cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and retaining significant anti-inflammatory capacity. Additionally, we evaluated the reparative effect of the designed dECMMA/GelMA composite hydrogel on rabbit wound defects. We demonstrated that the dECMMA/GelMA promoted wound healing and re-epithelization. These findings highlight the substantial benefits and therapeutic potential of the dECMMA/GelMA composite hydrogel as a practical solution for clinical applications in the treatment of soft tissue damage. Furthermore, this research provides a new strategy for designing and manufacturing bioactive dressings with exceptional clinical efficacy in the future.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are associated with considerable patient morbidity and present a significant economic burden to the healthcare system. Often, chronic wounds are in a state of persistent inflammation and unable to progress to the next phase of wound healing. Placental-derived biomaterials are recognized for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifibrotic, immunomodulatory, and immune privileged properties. As such, placental-derived biomaterials have been used in wound management for more than a century. Placental-derived scaffolds are composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) that can mimic the native tissue, creating a reparative environment to promote ECM remodeling, cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Reliable evidence exists throughout the literature to support the safety and effectiveness of placental-derived biomaterials in wound healing. However, differences in source (i.e., anatomical regions of the placenta), preservation techniques, decellularization status, design, and clinical application have not been fully evaluated. This review provides an overview of wound healing and placental-derived biomaterials, summarizes the clinical results of placental-derived scaffolds in wound healing, and suggests directions for future work.

Abstract
Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) are promising candidates for wound healing. However, the low amplification efficiency of MSC in vitro and their low survival rates after transplantation have limited their medical application. In this study, we fabricated a micronized amniotic membrane (mAM) as a microcarrier to amplify MSC in vitro and used mAM and MSC (mAM-MSC) complexes to repair burn wounds. Results showed that MSC could live and proliferate on mAM in a 3D culture system, exhibiting higher cell activity than in 2D culture. Transcriptome sequencing of MSC showed that the expression of growth factor-related, angiogenesis-related, and wound healing-related genes was significantly upregulated in mAM-MSC compared to traditional 2D-cultured MSC, which was verified via RT-qPCR. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed significant enrichment of terms related to cell proliferation, angiogenesis, cytokine activity, and wound healing in mAM-MSC. In a burn wound model of C57BL/6J mice, topical application of mAM-MSC significantly accelerated wound healing compared to MSC injection alone and was accompanied by longer survival of MSC and greater neovascularization in the wound.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An enteroatmospheric fistula forms when the exposed bowel is perforated with chronic enteric fistula formation. Currently, there is no established preventative method for this condition. Hyperdry (HD) amniotic membrane (AM) can promote early granulation tissue formation on the exposed viscera and is suitable for dressing intractable wounds as it possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory properties. This study investigated whether HD-AM promotes early formation of blood vessel-containing granulation tissue for enteroatmospheric fistula treatment. METHODS An experimental animal model of an open wound with exposed bowel was developed. A 15 × 20 mm wound was prepared on the abdomen of Institute of Cancer Research mice, and the HD-AM was placed. The mice were assigned to one of the following groups: HD-AM group, in which the stromal layer of the HD-AM was placed in contact with the exposed bowel; HD-AM UD group, in which the epithelial layer of the HD-AM was placed in contact with the exposed bowel; and the HD-AM (-) or control group, in which the HD-AM was not used. RESULTS On postoperative days 7 and 14, granulation tissue thickness significantly increased in the HD-AM and HD-AM UD groups compared with that in the HD-AM (-) group. Macrophages accumulated in the HD-AM epithelium only in the HD-AM group. During HD-AM contact, a subset of invading macrophages switched from M1 to M2 phenotype. CONCLUSIONS HD-AM is a practical wound dressing with its scaffolding function, regulation of TGF β-1 and C-X-C motif chemokine 5 (CXCL-5), and ability to induce M1-to-M2 macrophage conversion.

Abstract
Nowadays, biomaterials have evolved from the inert supports or functional substitutes to the bioactive materials able to trigger or promote the regenerative potential of tissues. The interdisciplinary progress has broadened the definition of 'biomaterials', and a typical new insight is the concept of tissue induction biomaterials. The term 'regenerative biomaterials' and thus the contents of this article are relevant to yet beyond tissue induction biomaterials. This review summarizes the recent progress of medical materials including metals, ceramics, hydrogels, other polymers and bio-derived materials. As the application aspects are concerned, this article introduces regenerative biomaterials for bone and cartilage regeneration, cardiovascular repair, 3D bioprinting, wound healing and medical cosmetology. Cell-biomaterial interactions are highlighted. Since the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019, the review particularly mentions biomaterials for public health emergency. In the last section, perspectives are suggested: (i) creation of new materials is the source of innovation; (ii) modification of existing materials is an effective strategy for performance improvement; (iii) biomaterial degradation and tissue regeneration are required to be harmonious with each other; (iv) host responses can significantly influence the clinical outcomes; (v) the long-term outcomes should be paid more attention to; (vi) the noninvasive approaches for monitoring in vivo dynamic evolution are required to be developed; (vii) public health emergencies call for more research and development of biomaterials; and (viii) clinical translation needs to be pushed forward in a full-chain way. In the future, more new insights are expected to be shed into the brilliant field-regenerative biomaterials.

The Use of Quercetin to Improve the Antioxidant and Regenerative Properties of Frozen or Cryopreserved Human Amniotic Membrane. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11071250. [PMID: 35883741 PMCID: PMC9311548 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11071250] [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: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The biological properties of the human amniotic membrane (HAM) and its characteristic ability to be a reservoir of growth factors promoting wound healing make it an ideal biological dressing for the treatment of different clinical conditions, such as burns and non-healing wounds. However, the application of a preservation method on the HAM is required during banking to maintain biological tissue properties and to ensure the release overtime of protein content for its final clinical effectiveness after application on the wound bed. Although cryopreservation and freezing are methods widely used to maintain tissue properties, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced within tissue cellular components during their switching from frozen to thawed state. Consequently, these methods can lead to oxidative stress-induced cell injury, affecting tissue regenerative properties and its final clinical effectiveness. Taking advantage of the antioxidant activity of the natural compound quercetin, we used it to improve the antioxidant and regenerative properties of frozen or cryopreserved HAM tissues. In particular, we evaluated the oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation, malondialdehyde) as well as the regenerative/biological properties (bFGF growth factor release, wound healing closure, structure, and viability) of HAM tissue after its application. We identified the effectiveness of quercetin on both preservation methods to reduce oxidative damage, as well as its ability to enhance regenerative properties, while maintaining the unaltered structure and viability of HAM tissue. The use of quercetin described in this study appears able to counteract the side effects of cryopreservation and freezing methods related to oxidative stress, enhancing the regenerative properties of HAM. However, further investigations will need to be performed, starting from these promising results, to identify its beneficial effect when applied on burns or non-healing wounds.

Abstract
The reconstruction of chronic skin wounds remains a public health challenge in dermatology. Precisely controlling and monitoring the wound-healing process should result in enhanced outcomes for the patient. Cell-based therapies have shown great potential in medicine due to their immunomodulatory and healing properties. Herein, we produced activated macrophages by treating circulating monocytes with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) supernatant. We also demonstrated the critical role of activated macrophages transplantation using amniotic membranes in accelerating wound healing in an animal wound model. The activated macrophages not only exhibited immunomodulatory cytokines like transforming growth factorβ (TGFβ) and interleukin 10 (and IL10) secretion but also showed attachment and proliferation ability on the amniotic membrane scaffold. Moreover, MSCs supernatant-treated cells also displayed significant ARG1, CD206, and IL 10 genes expression. Inspired by the in vitro results, we examined the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the activated macrophage transplantation using an acellular amniotic membrane carrier in a full-thickness cutaneous wound model. The wound healing rate was significant in the group treated with macrophages generated via mesenchymal cell therapy seeded human amniotic membrane. There was less scarring in the wound sites after placing cell-scaffold constructs in the wound sites in the animal models. Overall, macrophages stimulated with mesenchymal cells' supernatant exhibited improved healing processes in incisional wounds by decreasing the inflammatory phase, increasing angiogenesis, and reducing scar tissue development.

Abstract
Hydrogels have long been used for encapsulating stem cell-derived conditioned mediums to achieve skin regeneration after wounding. However, inappropriate mechanical strength, low adhesion and low elasticity limit their clinical application. To address these challenges, we engineered a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel grafted with methacrylic anhydride and N-(2-aminoethyl)-4-[4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxy-5-nitrophenoxy]-butanamide (NB) groups to encapsulate a lyophilized amnion-derived conditioned medium (AM-CM). This hydrogel can photopolymerize in situ within 3 s by photo-initiated free-radical crosslinking between methacrylate moieties. Meanwhile, the formed o-nitrosobenzaldehyde groups by photo-irradiation could covalently bond with the amino groups of tissue surface, which allowed strong tissue adhesion. Furthermore, the hydrogel possessed excellent mechanical properties, high elasticity, favorable biocompatibility and prolonged AM-CM release. Our further vitro and in vivo studies showed that the hydrogel significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing by regulating macrophage polarization and promoting angiogenesis. The engineered hydrogel with AM-CM release has high potential to treat chronic wounds in clinics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Amnion products are used in various musculoskeletal surgeries and as injections for joint pain with conflicting reports of cell viability and protein contents. The objective of this study was to determine the full proteome and examine cell viability in 9 commercial amnion products using an unbiased bottom-up shotgun proteomics approach and confocal microscopy. DESIGN Products were subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis and searched against a UniProt Homo sapiens database. Relative protein abundance was determined for each sample. Based on proteomics results, lumican was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot analysis was performed for interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2). Cell viability was determined by calcein AM (live) and ethidium homodimer (dead) staining and confocal microscopy. RESULTS Proteomic analysis revealed 919 proteins in the nine products. Proteins were primarily collagens, keratin, and albumin. Lumican, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) was found in all samples. Western blot analysis for IL-1Ra and TIMP-2 indicated presence of both proteins, with nonspecific antibody binding also present in all samples. No live cells were identified in any product. CONCLUSIONS Several novel proteins were identified through proteomics that might impart the beneficial effects of amnion products, including SLRPs, collagens, and regulators of fibroblast activity. IL-1Ra and TIMP-2 were identified, but concentrations measured by ELISA may be falsely increased due to nonspecific antibody binding. The concept that the amnion tissues provide live cells to aid in tissue regeneration cannot be supported by the findings of this study.

Abstract
Background Investigating the viability and proliferative rates of fibroblast cells on human amniotic membrane (HAM) as a scaffold will be an important subject for further research. The aim of this study was to assess the fibroblast viability seeded on acellular HAM, since foreskin neonatal allogenic fibroblasts seeded on HAM accelerate the wound healing process. Methods Fibroblasts were retrieved from the foreskin of a genetically healthy male infant, and we exploited AM of healthy term neonates to prepare the amniotic scaffold for fibroblast transfer. After cell culture, preparation of acellular HAM, and seeding of cells on HAM based on the protocol, different methods including 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), 4′,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI), and propidium iodide (PI) staining were employed for assessment of fibroblast viability on HAM. Results Based on the results obtained from the DAPI and PI staining, the percentage of viable cells in the former staining was clearly higher than that of the dead cells in the latter one. The results of DAPI and PI staining were in accordance with the findings of MTT assay, confirming that fibroblasts were viable and even proliferate on HAM. Conclusion Our findings showed the viability of fibroblasts seeded on the acellular HAM using MTT assay, DAPI, and PI staining; however, this study had some limitations. It would be an interesting subject for future research to compare the viability and proliferation rate of fibroblasts seeded on both cellular and acellular HAM.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from fetal adnexa namely amniotic membrane/epithelium, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord have hogged the limelight in recent times, as a proposed alternative to MSCs from conventional sources. These cells which are identified as being in a developmentally primitive state have many advantages, the most important being the non-invasive nature of their isolation procedures, absence of ethical concerns, proliferation potential, differentiation abilities and low immunogenicity. In the present review, we are focusing on the potential preclinical and clinical applications of different cell types of fetal adnexa, in wound healing therapy. We also discuss the isolation-culture methods, cell surface marker expression, multi-lineage differentiation abilities, immune-modulatory capabilities and their homing property. Different mechanisms involved in the wound healing process and the role of stromal cells in therapeutic wound healing are highlighted. Further, we summarize the findings of the cell delivery systems in skin lesion models and paracrine functions of their secretome in the wound healing process. Overall, this holistic review outlines the research findings of fetal adnexa derived MSCs, their usefulness in wound healing therapy in human as well as in veterinary medicine.

Abstract
Dysangiogenesis and chronic inflammation are two critical reasons for diabetic foot ulcers. Desferrioxamine (DFO) was used clinically in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers by repeated injections because of its capacity to induce vascularization. Biocompatible carriers that release DFO slowly and facilitate healing simultaneously are preferable options to accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds. Here, DFO-laden silk nanofiber hydrogels that provided a sustained release of DFO for more than 40 days were used to treat diabetic wounds. The DFO-laden hydrogels stimulated the healing of diabetic wounds. In vitro cell studies revealed that the DFO-laden hydrogels modulated the migration and gene expression of endothelial cells, and they also tuned the inflammation behavior of macrophages. These results were confirmed in an in vivo diabetic wound model. The DFO-laden hydrogels alleviated dysangiogenesis and chronic inflammation in the diabetic wounds, resulting in a more rapid wound healing and increased collagen deposition. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggested potential clinical applications of these DFO-laden hydrogels in the treatment of diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease associated with high cardiovascular risk. A vascular complication of diabetes is foot ulcers. Diabetic foot ulcers are prevalent and substantially reduce the quality of life of patients who have them. Currently, diabetic foot ulcer is a major problem for wound care specialists, and its treatment requires considerable health care resources. So far, various therapeutic modalities have been proposed to treat diabetic foot ulcers and one of them is stem cell-based therapy. Stem cell-based therapy has shown great promise for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. This strategy has been shown to be safe and effective in both preclinical and clinical trials. In this review, we provide an overview of the stem cell types and possible beneficial effects of stem cell transplantation therapy for diabetic foot ulcers, and an overview of the current status of stem cell research in both preclinical and clinical trial stages of treatment strategies for diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
Background: Inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of myofibroblasts is becoming one of the promising and effective ways to treat hypertrophic scar. ABT-263, as an orally bioavailable BCL-2 family inhibitor, has showed great antitumor characteristics by targeting tumor cell apoptosis. The objective of this study was to explore whether ABT-263 could target apoptosis of overactivated myofibroblasts in hypertrophic scar. Methods: In vivo, we used ABT-263 to treat scars in a rabbit ear scar model. Photographs and ultrasound examination were taken weekly, and scars were harvested on day 42 for further Masson trichrome staining. In vitro, the expression levels of BCL-2 family members, including prosurvival proteins, activators, and effectors, were detected systematically in hypertrophic scar tissues and adjacent normal skin tissues, as well as in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) and human normal dermal fibroblasts (HFBs). The roles of ABT-263 in apoptosis and proliferation of HSFs and HFBs were determined by annexin V/PI assay, CCK-8 kit, and cell cycle analysis. Mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated by JC-1 staining and the expression of type I/III collagen and α-SMA was measured by PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation was performed to explore the potential mechanism. Results: In vivo, ABT-263 could significantly improve the scar appearance and collagen arrangement, decrease scar elevation index (SEI), and induce cell apoptosis. In vitro, the expression levels of BCL-2, BCL-XL, and BIM were significantly higher in scar tissues and HSFs than those in normal skin tissues and HFBs. ABT-263 selectively induced HSFs apoptosis by releasing BIM from binding with prosurvival proteins. Moreover, ABT-263 inhibited HSFs proliferation and reduced the expression of α-SMA and type I/III collagen in a concentration- and time- dependent manner. Conclusion: HSFs showed increased mitochondrial priming with higher level of proapoptotic activator BIM and were primed to death. ABT-263 showed great therapeutic ability in the treatment of hypertrophic scar by targeting HSFs.

Abstract
Objective: Clinical studies have demonstrated that the use of cryopreserved amnion or trophoblast (TR)-free chorion, containing viable cells, in the treatment of chronic wounds results in high rate of wound closure. Recently, a new lyopreservation method has been developed for preservation of amnion that also retains the endogenous viable cells. The objective of this study was to use this method for lyopreservation of TR-free chorionic membrane (viable lyopreserved chorionic membrane [VLCM]) and compare it with the viable cryopreserved chorionic membrane (VCCM). A second objective was to investigate the immunogenicity of chorion, an important question that has not been fully addressed. Approach: Chorion immunogenicity was tested in vitro in a mixed lymphocyte reaction and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge assay, and in vivo in a mouse subcutaneous pocket implantation model. VLCM tissue structure was assessed histologically, growth factor content by multiplex assay, and cell viability by LIVE/DEAD cell fluorescent staining. Inhibition of tumor necrosis factor α secretion by LPS-activated THP-1 cells and endothelial cell tubule formation assays were performed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic properties, respectively. An in vivo rabbit abdominal adhesion model was used to evaluate the antifibrotic properties. Results: Chorionic membrane without trophoblast (CM) was shown to be nonimmunogenic. Tissue architecture, growth factors, and cell viability of fresh CM were maintained in VLCM and VCCM. In vitro studies showed that anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties were retained in VLCM. Furthermore, VLCM prevents formation of postsurgical adhesions in a rabbit abdominal surgical adhesion model. Innovation: Characterization of structural and functional properties of VLCM is reported for the first time. Conclusion: Similar to VCCM, VLCM retains native components of fresh CM, including collagen-rich extracellular matrix, growth factors, and viable cells. In vitro and in vivo models demonstrate that VLCM is anti-inflammatory, proangiogenic and antifibrotic. Results of this study support the structural and functional equivalency between VLCM and VCCM.

Hyperdry human amniotic membrane application as a wound dressing for a full-thickness skin excision after a third-degree burn injury. BURNS & TRAUMA 2020; 8:tkaa014. [PMID: 32733973 PMCID: PMC7382972 DOI: 10.1093/burnst/tkaa014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 03/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Background Severe burn injuries create large skin defects that render the host susceptible to bacterial infections. Burn wound infection often causes systemic sepsis and severe septicemia, resulting in an increase in the mortality of patients with severe burn injuries. Therefore, appropriate wound care is important to prevent infection and improve patient outcomes. However, it is difficult to heal a third-degree burn injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether hyperdry human amniotic membrane (HD-AM) could promote early granulation tissue formation after full-thickness skin excision in third-degree burn injury sites in mice. Methods After the development of HD-AM and creation of a third-degree burn injury model, the HD-AM was either placed or not placed on the wound area in the HD-AM group or HD-AM group, respectively. The groups were prepared for evaluation on postoperative days 1, 4 and 7. Azan staining was used for granulation tissue evaluation, and estimation of CD163, transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD31, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Iba1 expression was performed by immunohistochemical staining. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to investigate gene expression of growth factors, cell migration chemokines and angiogenic and inflammatory markers. Results The HD-AM group showed significant early and qualitatively good growth of granulation tissue on the full-thickness skin excision site. HD-AM promoted early-phase inflammatory cell infiltration, fibroblast migration and angiogenesis in the granulation tissue. Additionally, the early infiltration of cells of the immune system was observed. Conclusions HD-AM may be useful as a new wound dressing material for full-thickness skin excision sites after third-degree burn injuries, and may be a new therapeutic technique for improving the survival rate of patients with severe burn injuries.

LOXL2 from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells accelerates wound epithelialization by promoting differentiation and migration of keratinocytes. Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 12:12960-12986.

Abstract
In this study, we identified wound healing-related proteins secreted by human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) and human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). We observed increased migration and reduced proliferation and differentiation when keratinocytes were co-cultured in media conditioned by hAECs (hAECs-CM) and hAMSCs (hAMSCs-CM). Label-free mass spectrometry and bioinformatic analyses of the hAECs-CM and hAMSCs-CM proteome revealed several proteins associated with wound healing, angiogenesis, cellular differentiation, immune response and cell motility. The levels of the proteins related to wound healing, including CTHRC1, LOXL2 and LGALS1, were significantly higher in hAMSCs-CM than hAECs-CM. LOXL2 significantly enhanced in vitro keratinocyte migration and differentiation compared to CTHRC1 and LGALS1. Moreover, LOXL2 enhanced keratinocyte migration and differentiation by activating the JNK signaling pathway. We observed significant reduction in the in vitro migration and differentiation of keratinocytes when co-cultured with medium conditioned by LOXL2-silenced hAMSCs and when treated with 10 μM SP600125, a specific JNK inhibitor. Treatment with hAMSCs-CM and LOXL2 significantly accelerated wound healing in the murine skin wound model. These findings show that LOXL2 promotes wound healing by inducing keratinocyte migration and differentiation via a JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective To preliminary explore the effect of decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) combined with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on wound inflammation in pigs. Methods The DAT was prepared through the process of freeze-thaw, enzymatic digestion, organic solvent extraction, and vacuum freeze-drying. The appearance of DAT was observed before and after freeze-drying. HE staining was used to observe its structure and acellular effect. Eighteen male Bama minipigs were recruited, and four dorsal skin soft tissue wounds in diameter of 4 cm were made on each pig and randomly divided into 4 groups for different treatments. The wounds were treated with DAT combined with VSD in DAT/VSD group, DAT in DAT group, VSD in VSD group, and sterile gauze dressing in control group. HE staining was performed at 3, 7, 10, and 14 days after treatment. Moreover, the expressions of inflammatory factors [interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)], as well as the phenotypes of M1 and M2 macrophage phenotypic markers [inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase 1 (ARG-1)] were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). ELISA was used to determine the content of iNOS and ARG-1. Results General observation and HE staining showed that DAT obtained in this study had a loose porous structure without cells. The neutrophils of wounds were significantly less in DAT/VSD group than in control group and DAT group ( P<0.05) at 3 days after treatment, and the difference was not significant ( P>0.05) between DAT/VSD group and VSD group. And the neutrophils were significantly less in DAT/VSD group than in other three groups ( P<0.05) at 7, 10, and 14 days. The mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS were significantly lower in DAT/VSD group than in other three groups at 3, 7, 10, and 14 days ( P<0.05), while the mRNA expression of ARG-1 was significantly higher in DAT/VSD group than in other three groups ( P<0.05). ELISA showed that the content of iNOS was significantly lower in DAT/VSD group than in other three groups at 3, 7, 10, and 14 days ( P<0.05), while the content of ARG-1 was significantly higher in DAT/VSD group than in other three groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion DAT combined with VSD can significantly reduce inflammatory cell infiltration during wound healing, regulate the expressions of inflammatory factors and macrophage phenotype, and the effect is better than single use of each and conventional dressing change.

Abstract
Diabetes is a complex disease characterized by hyperglycemia, together with polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. While Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from genetic, environmental, or immune dysfunction factors leading to pancreatic β-cell destruction depriving the organism from endogenous insulin, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by peripheral insulin resistance. Depending on the type of diabetes mellitus and drug mechanism to study, the animal model should be carefully selected among the wide variety of the currently available ones. This review discusses the most common animal models currently employed to study T1DM and T2DM. Moreover, an overview on the administration routes that could be used is also discussed.

Abstract
Objective: Wound healing is a complex process involving the dynamic interplay of various types of cells and bioactive factors. Impaired wound healing is characterized by a loss in synchronization of the process, resulting in non-healing chronic wounds. Human amniotic membrane (AM) has been shown to be effective in the management of chronic wounds. Recently, a viable lyopreserved AM (VLAM) has been developed. The VLAM retains the structural, molecular, and functional properties of fresh AM with the advantage of a long shelf life for living tissue at ambient temperatures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of VLAM on the impaired wound microenvironment and wound closure in db/db mice. Approach: VLAM or saline gel (control) was applied weekly to 7-mm excisional wounds in diabetic (db/db) mice. Wound appearance and size were assessed weekly. Inflammation and redox state in wounds were tested by cytokine gene and protein expression, and by catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities, respectively. Wound tissue granulation and neovascularization were assessed histologically. Results: Diabetic wounds treated with VLAM closed faster than control wounds. On an average, VLAM-treated wounds closed 4 days faster than the control wounds, with a significantly faster rate of closure at days 7 and 14 as compared with control wounds. The faster closure correlated with a decrease in the expression of proinflammatory factors and oxidative stress, and an increase in angiogenesis and dermal thickness. Innovation: Effects of VLAM on a chronic wound microenvironment and underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated for the first time. Conclusion: VLAM accelerates wound closure in db/db mice by decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress and supporting wound tissue granulation, neovascularization, and re-epithelialization.

Abstract
Post-operative adhesions, a common complication of surgery, cause pain, impair organ functionality, and often require additional surgical interventions. Control of inflammation, protection of injured tissue, and rapid tissue repair are critical for adhesion prevention. Adhesion barriers are biomaterials used to prevent adhesions by physical separation of opposing injured tissues. Current adhesion barriers have poor anti-inflammatory and tissue regenerative properties. Umbilical cord tissue (UT), a part of the placenta, is inherently soft, conforming, biocompatible, and biodegradable, with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties, making it an attractive alternative to currently available adhesion barriers. While use of fresh tissue is preferable, availability and short storage time limit its clinical use. A viable cryopreserved UT (vCUT) "point of care" allograft has recently become available. vCUT retains the extracellular matrix, growth factors, and native viable cells with the added advantage of a long shelf life at -80 °C. In this study, vCUT's anti-adhesion property was evaluated in a rabbit abdominal adhesion model. The cecum was abraded on two opposing sides, and vCUT was sutured to the abdominal wall on the treatment side; whereas the contralateral side of the abdomen served as an internal untreated control. Gross and histological evaluation was performed at 7, 28, and 67 days post-surgery. No adhesions were detectable on the vCUT treated side at all time points. Histological scores for adhesion, inflammation, and fibrosis were lower on the vCUT treated side as compared to the control side. In conclusion, the data supports the use of vCUT as an adhesion barrier in surgical procedures.

AM is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antifibrotic, and supports angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation and wound re-epithelialization. These properties of AM are attributed to its native extracellular matrix, growth factors, and endogenous cells including mesenchymal stem cells. Advances in tissue preservation have helped to overcome the short shelf life of fresh AM and led to the development of AM products for clinical use. Viable cryopreserved amnion (VCAM), which retains all native components of fresh AM, has shown positive outcomes in clinical trials for wound management. However, cryopreservation requires ultra-low temperature storage and shipment that limits widespread use of VCAM. We have developed a lyopreservation technique to allow for ambient storage of living tissues. Here, we compared the structural, molecular, and functional properties of a viable lyopreserved human amniotic membrane (VLAM) with properties of VCAM using in vitro and in vivo wound models. We found that the structure, growth factors, and cell viability of VLAM is similar to that of VCAM and fresh AM. Both, VCAM and VLAM inhibited TNF-α secretion and upregulated VEGF expression in vitro under conditions designed to mimic inflammation and hypoxia in a wound microenvironment, and resulted in wound closure in a diabetic mouse chronic wound model. Taken together, these data demonstrate that VLAM structural and functional properties are equivalent to VCAM but without the constraints of ultra-low temperature storage.

Stem cell therapy for diabetic foot ulcers: a review of preclinical and clinical research. Stem Cell Res Ther 2018; 9:188.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication of diabetes, preceding most diabetes-related amputations. DFUs require over US$9 billion for yearly treatment and are now a global public health issue. DFU occurs in the setting of ischemia, infection, neuropathy, and metabolic disorders that result in poor wound healing and poor treatment options. Recently, stem cell therapy has emerged as a new interventional strategy to treat DFU and appears to be safe and effective in both preclinical and clinical trials. However, variability in the stem cell type and origin, route and protocol for administration, and concomitant use of angioplasty confound easy interpretation and generalization of the results. METHODS The PubMed, Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases were searched and 89 preclinical and clinical studies were selected for analysis. RESULTS There was divergence between preclinical and clinical studies regarding stem cell type, origin, and delivery techniques. There was heterogeneous preclinical and clinical study design and few randomized clinical trials. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor was employed in some studies but with differing protocols. Concomitant performance of angioplasty with stem cell therapy showed increased efficiency compared to either therapy alone. CONCLUSIONS Stem cell therapy is an effective treatment for diabetic foot ulcers and is currently used as an alternative to amputation for some patients without other options for revascularization. Concordance between preclinical and clinical studies may help design future randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
One of the main goals of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is to develop skin substitutes for treating deep dermal and full thickness wounds. In this regard, both scaffold and cell source have a fundamental role to achieve exactly the same histological and physiological analog of skin. Amnion epithelial and mesenchymal cells possess the characteristics of pluripotent stem cells which have the capability to differentiate into all three germ layers and can be obtained without any ethical concern. Amniotic cells also produce different growth factors, angio-modulatory cytokines, anti-bacterial peptides and a wide range of anti-inflammatory agents which eventually cause acceleration in wound healing. In addition, amniotic membrane matrix exhibits characteristics of an ideal scaffold and skin substitute through various types of extracellular proteins such as collagens, laminins and fibronectins which serve as an anchor for cell attachment and proliferation, a bed for cell delivery and a reservoir of drugs and growth factors involved in wound healing process. Recently, isolation of amniotic cells exosomes, surface modification and cross-linking approaches, construction of amnion based nanocomposites and impregnation of amnion with nanoparticles, construction of amnion hydrogel and micronizing process promoted its properties for tissue engineering. In this manuscript, the recent progress was reviewed which approve that amnion-derived cells and matrix have potential to be involved in skin substitutes; an enriched cell containing scaffold which has a great capability to be translated into the clinic.

Cell Mol Bioeng 2017; 10:451-462.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic wounds remain a major clinical challenge. Human cryopreserved viable amniotic membrane (hCVAM) is among the most successful therapies, but the mechanisms of action remain loosely defined. Because proper regulation of macrophage behavior is critical for wound healing with biomaterial therapies, we hypothesized that hCVAM would positively regulate macrophage behavior in vitro, and that soluble factors released from the hCVAM would be important for this effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary human pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages were seeded directly onto intact hCVAM or cultured in separation via transwell inserts (Soluble Factors) in the presence of pro-inflammatory stimuli (interferon-γ and lipopolysaccharide) to simulate the chronic wound environment. Macrophages were characterized after 1 and 6 days using multiplex gene expression analysis of 37 macrophage phenotype- and angiogenesis-related genes via NanoString™, and protein content from conditioned media collected at days 1, 3 and 6 was analyzed via enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Gene expression analysis showed that Soluble Factors promoted significant upregulation of pro-inflammatory marker IL1B on day 1 yet downregulation of TNF on day 6 compared to the M1 macrophage control. In contrast, intact hCVAM, which includes both extracellular matrix, viable cells, and soluble factors, promoted downregulation of pro-inflammatory markers TNF, CCL5 and CCR7 on day 1 and endothelial receptor TIE1 on day 6, and upregulation of the anti-inflammatory marker IL10 on day 6 compared to the M1 Control. Other genes related to inflammation and angiogenesis (MMP9, VEGF, SPP1, TGFB1, etc.) were differentially regulated between the Soluble Factors and intact hCVAM groups at both time points, though they were not expressed at significantly different levels compared to the M1 Control. Interestingly, Soluble Factors promoted increased secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), while direct contact with hCVAM inhibited secretion of TNF, relative to the M1 Control. Both Soluble Factors and intact hCVAM inhibited secretion of MMP9 and VEGF, pro-inflammatory proteins that are critical for angiogenesis and remodeling, compared to the M1 Control, with intact hCVAM having a stronger effect. CONCLUSIONS In a simulated pro-inflammatory environment, intact hCVAM has distinct anti-inflammatory effects on primary human macrophages, and direct macrophage contact with intact hCVAM is required for these effects. These findings are important for the design of next generation immunomodulatory biomaterials for wound repair and regenerative medicine that may include living cells, soluble factors, or a controlled drug delivery system.

Abstract
Macrophages play an important role in tissue repair, regeneration, and the ability of biomaterials to mediate these processes. Macrophages are highly plastic cells that exhibit altered behavior in response to changes in the microenvironment. With the growing knowledge of the roles that different macrophage phenotypes play in specific pathologies and/or injuries, researchers are now focusing on designing biomaterials to actively control macrophage behavior and promote healing outcomes. In this review, we highlight a variety of biomaterial strategies for controlling macrophage phenotype in chronic wounds, tissue defects, and inflammatory conditions, although these strategies can be applied to many other applications. In particular, we highlight the different situations in which biomaterials should inhibit or promote M1 or M2 activation, or both, for therapeutic outcomes.
