G-protein-coupled receptor 84 regulates acute inflammation in normal and diabetic skin wounds. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114288. [PMID: 38814782 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Lipids have emerged as potent regulators of immune cell function. In the skin, adipocyte lipolysis increases the local pool of free fatty acids and is essential for coordinating early macrophage inflammation following injury. Here, we investigate G-protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84), a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) receptor, for its potential to propagate pro-inflammatory signaling after skin injury. GPR84 signaling was identified as a key component of regulating myeloid cell numbers and subsequent tissue repair through in vivo administration of a pharmacological antagonist and the MCFA decanoic acid. We found that impaired injury-induced dermal adipocyte lipolysis is a hallmark of diabetes, and lipidomic analysis demonstrated that MCFAs are significantly reduced in diabetic murine wounds. Furthermore, local administration of decanoic acid rescued myeloid cell numbers and tissue repair during diabetic wound healing. Thus, GPR84 is a readily targetable lipid signaling pathway for manipulating injury-induced tissue inflammation with beneficial effects on acute diabetic healing.

Sankar S, Kodiveri Muthukaliannan G. Deciphering the crosstalk between inflammation and biofilm in chronic wound healing: Phytocompounds loaded bionanomaterials as therapeutics. Saudi J Biol Sci 2024; 31:103963. [PMID: 38425782 PMCID: PMC10904202 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2024.103963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
In terms of the economics and public health, chronic wounds exert a significant detrimental impact on the health care system. Bacterial infections, which cause the formation of highly resistant biofilms that elude standard antibiotics, are the main cause of chronic, non-healing wounds. Numerous studies have shown that phytochemicals are effective in treating a variety of diseases, and traditional medicinal plants often include important chemical groups such alkaloids, phenolics, tannins, terpenes, steroids, flavonoids, glycosides, and fatty acids. These substances are essential for scavenging free radicals which helps in reducing inflammation, fending off infections, and hastening the healing of wounds. Bacterial species can survive in chronic wound conditions because biofilms employ quorum sensing as a communication technique which regulates the expression of virulence components. Fortunately, several phytochemicals have anti-QS characteristics that efficiently block QS pathways, prevent drug-resistant strains, and reduce biofilm development in chronic wounds. This review emphasizes the potential of phytocompounds as crucial agents for alleviating bacterial infections and promoting wound healing by reducing the inflammation in chronic wounds, exhibiting potential avenues for future therapeutic approaches to mitigate the healthcare burden provided by these challenging conditions.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), a serious complication of diabetes, remains a clinical challenge. MicroRNAs affect inflammation and may have therapeutic value in DFU. Here, we find that an miR-221-3p mimic reduces the inflammatory response and increases skin wound healing rates in a mouse model of diabetes, whereas miR-221-3p knockout produced the opposite result. In human keratinocytes cells, miR-221-3p suppresses the inflammatory response induced by high glucose. The gene encoding DYRK1A is a target of miR-221-3p. High glucose increases the expression of DYRK1A, but silencing DYRK1A expression decreases high glucose-induced inflammatory cytokine release via dephosphorylation of STAT3, a substrate of DYRK1A. Application of miR-221-3p mimic to human keratinocytes cells not only decreases DYRK1A expression but also inhibits high glucose-induced production of inflammatory cytokines to promote wound healing. This molecular mechanism whereby miR-221-3p regulates inflammation through the DYRK1A/STAT3 signaling pathway suggests targets and therapeutic approaches for treating DFU.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is associated with a wide range of neuropathies, vasculopathies, and immunopathies, resulting in many complications. More than 30% of diabetic patients risk developing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), play essential roles in various biological functions in the hyperglycaemic environment that determines the development of DFU. Ulceration results in tissue breakdown and skin barrier scavenging, thereby facilitating bacterial infection and biofilm formation. Many bacteria contribute to diabetic foot infection (DFI), including Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) et al. A heterogeneous group of "ncRNAs," termed small RNAs (sRNAs), powerfully regulates biofilm formation and DFI healing. Multidisciplinary foot care interventions have been identified for nonhealing ulcers. With an appreciation of the link between disease processes and ncRNAs, a novel therapeutic model of bioactive materials loaded with ncRNAs has been developed to prevent and manage diabetic foot complications.

Clin Nutr 2024; 43:892-899. [PMID: 38382419 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNA-19 (miR-19) plays a critical role in cardiac development and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined whether change in circulating miR-19 was associated with change in CVD risk during weight loss. METHODS This study included 509 participants with overweight or obesity from the 24-month weight-loss diet intervention study (the POUNDS Lost trial) and with available data on circulating miR-19a-3p and miR-19b-3p at baseline and 6 months. The primary outcome for this analysis was the change in atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk at 6 and 24 months, which estimates the 10-year probability of hard ASCVD events. Secondary outcomes were the changes in ASCVD risk score components. RESULTS Circulating miR-19a-3p and miR-19b-3p levels significantly decreased during the initial 6-month dietary intervention period (P = 0.008, 0.0004, respectively). We found that a greater decrease in miR-19a-3p or miR-19b-3p was related to a greater reduction in ASCVD risk (β[SE] = 0.33 [0.13], P = 0.01 for miR-19a-3p; β[SE] = 0.3 [0.12], P = 0.017 for miR-19b-3p) over 6 months, independent of concurrent weight loss. Moreover, we found significant interactions between change in miR-19 and sleep disturbance on change in ASCVD risk over 24 months of intervention (P interaction = 0.01 and 0.008 for miR-19a-3p and miR-19b-3p, respectively). Participants with a greater decrease in miR-19 without sleep disturbance had a greater reduction of ASCVD risk than those with slight/moderate/great amounts of sleep disturbance. In addition, change in physical activity significantly modified the associations between change in miR-19 and change in ASCVD risk over 24 months (P interaction = 0.006 and 0.004 for miR-19a-3p and miR-19b-3p, respectively). A greater decrease in miR-19 was significantly associated with a greater reduction in ASCVD risk among participants with an increase in physical activity, while non-significant inverse associations were observed among those without an increase in physical activity. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, decreased circulating miR-19 levels during dietary weight-loss interventions were related to a significant reduction in ASCVD risk, and these associations were more evident in people with no sleep disturbance or increase in physical activity.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is an ethnobotanical herb. The main bioactive components of Centella asiatica are pentacyclic triterpenoid glycosides, namely asiaticoside and hydroxyasiaticoside. Asiaticoside possess a diverse array of pharmacological properties, such as wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergic, antidepressant, anxiolytic, anti-fibrotic, antibacterial, anti-arthritic, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory activities. AIM OF THE STUDY The purpose of this investigation is to explore potential therapeutic interventions for the delayed healing of wounds in diabetic patients (DW) facilitated by Asiaticoside-Nitric Oxide. To clarify the key molecular mechanism of miRNA-21-5p in DW wound repair and to deepen the understanding of DW disease pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Firstly, miRNA microarray technology, bioinformatics, and RT-qPCR were used to analyze DW patients' and normal controls' skin tissue samples. Secondly, in order to investigate the role of miRNA-21-5p, a hyperglycemic model was established using HaCaT cells. Overexpressing as well as interfering HaCaT cell lines were constructed by lentiviral infection to further explore the proliferative and migratory effects of Asiaticoside-Nitric Oxide. The next step was to search for potential target genes of miRNA-21-5p and verify them with dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, the expression levels of target genes and proteins were detected through the utilization of RT-qPCR and Western blotting under the influence of Asiaticoside-Nitric Oxide. RESULTS A library of miRNAs and target genes expressed explicitly in DW patients and rats was established. The study confirmed the upregulation of miRNA-21-5p in DW patients and identified its involvement in signaling pathways related to chronic ulcer wound repair. Overexpression of LV-miRNA-21-5p significantly promoted cell proliferation, while treatments of Asiaticoside-Low dose (AC-L) and Asiaticoside-Medium dose (AC-M) enhanced proliferation and migration, particularly when combined with nitroprusside (SNP). Further analysis revealed potential target genes of miRNA-21-5p, such as TGF-β1, SMAD7, and TIMP3. Their interaction with miRNA-21-5p was confirmed through dual luciferase assays. The study found that anti-DW drugs increased the expression of TGF-β1 and SMAD7 while inhibiting TIMP3 expression in a high-glucose environment. CONCLUSIONS The research concluded that miRNA-21-5p plays a crucial role in the delayed healing of diabetic wounds, and that the combination treatment of AC + SNP shows promise in promoting wound healing in DW rats. Target genes, including TGF-β1, SMAD7, and TIMP3, may contribute to the regulatory mechanisms involved in diabetic wound healing. These findings provide valuable insights for developing novel therapeutic approaches for DW.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small noncoding RNAs that play important roles in both physiological and pathological processes through post-transcriptional regulation. The miR-17-92 cluster includes six individual members: miR-17, miR-18a, miR-19a, miR-19b-1, miR-20a, and miR-92a-1. The miR-17-92 cluster has been extensively studied and reported to broadly function in cancer biology, immunology, neurology, pulmonology, and cardiology. This review focuses on its roles in heart development and cardiac diseases. We briefly introduce the nature of the miR-17-92 cluster and its crucial roles in both normal development and the pathogenesis of various diseases. We summarize the recent progress in understanding the versatile roles of miR-17-92 during cardiac development, regeneration, and aging. Additionally, we highlight the indispensable roles of the miR-17-92 cluster in pathogenesis and therapeutic potential in cardiac birth defects and adult cardiac diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose mesenchymal stem cell (AMSC)-derived exosomes are promising novel factors for wound repair and regeneration. This study aimed to explore the potential roles and underlying mechanisms of specific miRNA in wound healing using AMSC-derived exosomes as carriers. METHODS The expression profiles of GSE197840 were downloaded to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and the corresponding genes of the identified miRNAs were predicted. Next, miRNA-mRNA co-expression networks were constructed and the genes in these networks were subjected to functional analysis. miR-223-3p overexpressed AMSCs were then established to isolate exosomes, and the effects of AMSC-derived exosomes carrying miR-223-3p on wound healing and the related potential mechanisms were further investigated in vivo. RESULTS 35 DEmiRNAs were identified and a co-expression network containing 22 miRNAs and 91 target genes was constructed. Based on the network, miR-223-3p was the hub node and the genes were significantly enriched in 15 GO terms of biological processes and 14 KEGG pathways, including cAMP, PI3K-Akt, cGMP-PKG, neurotrophin signaling pathway, and dopaminergic synapse. Then, miR-223-3p overexpressed AMSCs-derived exosomes were successfully extracted, and miR-223-3p was found to directly bind with MAPK10. In vivo experiments validated that AMSCs-derived exosomal miR-223-3p could promote wound healing, and up-regulated α-SMA, CD31, COL1A1, COL2A1, COL3A1, and down-regulated MAPK10, TNF-α, IL-β, and IL-6. CONCLUSIONS AMSC-derived exosomal miR-223-3p may accelerate wound healing by targeting MAPK10.

Abstract
The difficulty of wound healing in diabetes mellitus has long been regarded as a thorny problem in the medical field. One of the important reasons is the abnormal function of wound-related cells. A large number of recent studies have shown that microRNA (miR), a noncoding RNA that exists in eukaryotic cells, is closely linked to the functions of various cells in diabetic wound, and ultimately affects the healing of wound. This paper establishes for the first time the connection between miR and wound healing from the cellular perspective and summarizes the effects of various miRs on one or more kinds of wound cells, including their targets and related mechanisms. The abnormal expression of miRs in the wound has certain value for the early diagnosis of diabetic wounds. Moreover, it seems that correcting miRs that are abnormal expressed in the wound or artificially adding miRs that can promote wound healing has an essential therapeutic value.

Abstract
The slow healing and nonhealing of diabetic wounds have long posed challenges for clinical practitioners. In the presence of elevated glucose levels, the body's regulatory mechanisms undergo alterations that impede normal wound healing processes, including cell proliferation, cytokine release, and growth factor activity. Consequently, the advancement of stem cell technology has sparked growing interest in utilizing stem cells and their derivatives as potential therapeutic agents to enhance diabetic wound healing. This paper aims to provide an academic review of the therapeutic effects of adipose-derived stem cell-EXOs (ADSC-EXOs) in diabetic wound healing. As a cell-free therapy, exosomes (EXOs) possess a multitude of proteins and growth factors that have been shown to be advantageous in promoting wound healing and mitigating the potential risks associated with stem cell therapy. By examining the current knowledge on ADSC-EXOs, this review seeks to offer insights and guidance for the potential application of EXOs in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes foot ulcer (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes characterized with chronic foot ulceration, poor wound healing (WH), and persistent inflammation. MiR-221-3p, as microRNA, has been shown to accelerate WH in previous study, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Methods In this study, we aimed to determine how miR-221-3p influences WH by targeting THBS1. The effect of miRNA-221-3p on wound healing of diabetes by epidermal injection of miRNA-221-3p agomir. In vitro generated human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were transfected with miR-mimics and negative control with high glucose treatment. The effects of miRNA-221-3p on cell apoptosis and angiogenesis using cell apoptosis assay and the tube formation assay, respectively. Direct target interaction of miR-221-3p and predicted target sites in 3'UTR of THBS1 were examined by luciferase reporter gene assay. Breeding miRNA-221 knockout mice for experimental verification. Results We found that miRNA-221-3p overexpression at the wound edge of normal mice and diabetes mice can promote WH. As contrast, WH of miR-221 knockout mice delayed with increased epithelial apoptosis and reduced angiogenesis in the dermis. miR-221-3p was found to inhibit apoptosis in HaCaT cells, and enhanced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) that were co-cultured. Bioinformatics analysis as well as the dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed miR-221-3p to target 3' untranslated region of THBS1. Conclusion Our findings suggested miR-221-3p might exert an essential impact on diabetes WH via inhibition of THBS1 and lack of miR-221-3p possibly results in impaired healing in chronic wounds of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, developing medicine such as chemically modified analogs of miR-221-3p in future could benefit patients with DFU.

The PI3K-Akt-mTOR and Associated Signaling Pathways as Molecular Drivers of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Diseases: Update on Therapeutic Strategy Using Natural and Synthetic Compounds. Cells 2023; 12:1671. [PMID: 37371141 PMCID: PMC10297376 DOI: 10.3390/cells12121671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The dysregulated phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway has been implicated in various immune-mediated inflammatory and hyperproliferative dermatoses such as acne, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, psoriasis, wounds, and vitiligo, and is associated with poor treatment outcomes. Improved comprehension of the consequences of the dysregulated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in patients with inflammatory dermatoses has resulted in the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Nonetheless, more studies are necessary to validate the regulatory role of this pathway and to create more effective preventive and treatment methods for a wide range of inflammatory skin diseases. Several studies have revealed that certain natural products and synthetic compounds can obstruct the expression/activity of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, underscoring their potential in managing common and persistent skin inflammatory disorders. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the role of the activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and associated components in immune-mediated inflammatory dermatoses and discusses the potential of bioactive natural products, synthetic scaffolds, and biologic agents in their prevention and treatment. However, further research is necessary to validate the regulatory role of this pathway and develop more effective therapies for inflammatory skin disorders.

Abstract
Amphibian-derived wound healing peptides thus offer new intervention measures and strategies for skin wound tissue regeneration. As novel drug lead molecules, wound healing peptides can help analyze new mechanisms and discover new drug targets. Previous studies have identified various novel wound healing peptides and analyzed novel mechanisms in wound healing, especially competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) (e.g., inhibition of miR-663a promotes skin repair). In this paper, we review amphibian-derived wound healing peptides, including the acquisition, identification, and activity of peptides, a combination of peptides with other materials, and the analysis of underlying mechanisms, to better understand the characteristics of wound healing peptides and to provide a molecular template for the development of new wound repair drugs.

Abstract
Aging is a major risk factor for most chronic diseases, including osteoporosis, and is characterized by an accumulation of senescent cells in various tissues. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of bone aging and cellular senescence. Here, we report that miR-19a-3p decreases with age in bone samples from mice as well as in posterior iliac crest bone biopsies of younger versus older healthy women. miR-19a-3p also decreased in mouse bone marrow stromal cells following induction of senescence using etoposide, H2O2, or serial passaging. To explore the transcriptomic effects of miR-19a-3p, we performed RNA sequencing of mouse calvarial osteoblasts transfected with control or miR-19a-3p mimics and found that miR-19a-3p overexpression significantly altered the expression of various senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype-related, and proliferation genes. Specifically, miR-19a-3p overexpression in nonsenescent osteoblasts significantly suppressed p16 Ink4a and p21 Cip1 gene expression and increased their proliferative capacity. Finally, we established a novel senotherapeutic role for this miRNA by treating miR-19a-3p expressing cells with H2O2 to induce senescence. Interestingly, these cells exhibited lower p16 Ink4a and p21 Cip1 expression, increased proliferation-related gene expression, and reduced SA-β-Gal+ cells. Our results thus establish that miR-19a-3p is a senescence-associated miRNA that decreases with age in mouse and human bones and is a potential senotherapeutic target for age-related bone loss. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common human papillomavirus-related disease. Continuous activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway has been observed in CC. SHC binding and spindle associated 1 (SHCBP1) contributes to tumorigenesis and activation of the NF-κB pathway in multiple cancer types, while its function in CC remains unclear. In the present study, three Gene Expression Omnibus datasets were used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CC. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were performed using stable SHCBP1-silenced and SHCBP1-overexpressing CC cells. To further explore the molecular mechanism of SHCBP1 in CC, small interfering RNA targeting eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (EIF5A) was transfected into stable SHCBP1-overexpressing CC cells. The results demonstrated that SHCBP1 was an upregulated DEG in CC tissues compared with healthy control cervical tissues. Functional experiments revealed the pro-proliferative and pro-stemness role of SHCBP1 in CC cells (CaSki and SiHa cells), in vitro. Furthermore, the NF-κB signaling pathway in CC cells was activated by SHCBP1. Increases in cell proliferation, stemness and activation of NF-κB, induced by SHCBP1 overexpression in CC cells, were reversed by EIF5A knockdown. Taken together, the results indicated that SHCBP1 serves an important role in regulation of CC cell proliferation, self-renewal and activation of NF-κB via EIF5A. The present study demonstrated a potential molecular mechanism underlying the progression of CC.

Abstract
Large-scale skin damage brings potential risk to patients, such as imbalance of skin homeostasis, inflammation, fluid loss and bacterial infection. Moreover, multidrug resistant bacteria (MDRB) infection is still a great challenge for skin damage repair. Herein, we developed an injectable self-healing bioactive nanoglass hydrogel (FABA) with robust antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ability for normal and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected skin wound repair. FABA hydrogel was fabricated facilely by the self-crosslinking of F127-CHO (FA) and alendronate sodium (AL)-decorated Si-Ca-Cu nanoglass (BA). FABA hydrogel could significantly inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and MRSA in vitro, while showing good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility. In addition, FABA hydrogel could inhibit the expression of proinflammatory factor TNF-α and enhance the expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL-4/ IL-10. Based on its versatility, FABA hydrogel could complete wound closure efficiently (75% at day 3 for normal wound, 70% at day 3 for MRSA wound), which was almost 3 times higher than control wound, which was related with the decrease of inflammatory factor in early wound. This work suggested that FABA hydrogel could be a promising dressing for acute and MRSA-infected wound repair.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA sequences that negatively regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. They play a role in the regulation of inflammatory responses by controlling the proliferation and activation of immune cells and their expression is disrupted in several immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. Among these, autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are a group of rare hereditary disorders caused by abnormal activation of the innate immune system and characterized by recurrent fevers. Major groups of AID are inflammasomopathies, which are associated with hereditary defects in the activation of inflammasomes, cytosolic multiprotein signaling complexes regulating IL-1 family cytokine maturation and pyroptosis. The study of the role of miRNAs in AID is only recently emerging and remains scarce in inflammasomopathies. In this review, we describe the AID and inflammasomopathies, and the current knowledge on the role of miRNAs in disease processes.

Abstract
Aims: This study aims to investigate the function of positive feedback loops involving noncoding RNA in diabetic wound healing. Methods: We developed a mouse diabetic wound model to confirm that hyperglycemia can impair wound healing. We also used an in vitro keratinocyte model in high-glucose conditions to investigate the mechanism of delayed wound healing. Results: MALAT1 was decreased in diabetic mouse wound tissue and can promote keratinocyte biological functions. MALAT1 could bind to miR-106a-5p to modulate the expression of ZNF148, a target gene of miR-106a-5p. Surprisingly, ZNF148 bound to a region in the MALAT1 promoter to stimulate gene expression. Conclusion: ZNF148-activated MALAT1 increases ZNF148 expression by competitively binding miR-106a-3p, generating a positive feedback loop that enhances keratinocyte function.

EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2023; 2023:2523245. [PMID: 36756041 PMCID: PMC9902161 DOI: 10.1155/2023/2523245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Objective Intensive glycemic control and exosomal miRNAs have both been reported to improve wound repair in diabetic ulcers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of intensive glycemic control on serum exosome microRNA-126-3p (miR-126-3p), microRNA-125b-1-3p (miR-125b-1-3p), and wound healing in patients with diabetic ulcers. Methods Herein, 45 diabetic patients with an ulcer, aged 35-75 years old, were randomly assigned to the intensive glycemic control group (n = 21) and the conventional glycemic control group (n = 24). Serum exosomes were extracted in the laboratory and assessed by Western blotting, transmission electron microscopy, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. The expression of miR-126-3p and miR-125b-1-3p was validated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The wound healing of each diabetic ulcer patient was measured and imaged; additionally, clinical and follow-up data were collected. Finally, the clinical and laboratory data were combined for statistical analysis. Results Intensive glycemic control was significantly more conducive to wound healing and infection control than conventional glycemic control (P < 0.05). Serum exosomal miR-126-3p was negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose levels (r = 0.34, P < 0.05) and positively associated with the wound healing rate (r = 0.45, P < 0.01). The level of miR-126-3p in the intensive glycemic control group was significantly higher than that in the conventional glycemic control group (P < 0.01). Serum exosomal miR-125b-1-3p was not correlated with blood glucose levels (r = 0.03, P > 0.05) and was positively associated with the wound healing rate (r = 0.33, P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the level of miR-125b-1-3p between the intensive and conventional glycemic control groups. Regarding the prognosis of diabetic ulcers, the intensive glycemic control group was better than the conventional group (Z = -2.02, P < 0.05). Conclusion Serum exosome (miR-125b-1-3p and miR-126-3p) levels are correlated with wound healing in diabetic ulcers. Intensive glycemic control increases the serum exosomal miR-126-3p level, which might be one of the mechanisms that promotes wound healing in diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
The immune microenvironment plays a critical role in regulating skin wound healing. Macrophages, the main component of infiltrating inflammatory cells, play a pivotal role in shaping the immune microenvironment in the process of skin wound healing. Macrophages comprise the classic proinflammatory M1 subtype and anti-inflammatory M2 population. In the early inflammatory phase of skin wound closure, M1-like macrophages initiate and amplify the local inflammatory response to disinfect the injured tissue. In the late tissue-repairing phase, M2 macrophages are predominant in wound tissue and limit local inflammation to promote tissue repair. The biological function of macrophages is tightly linked with epigenomic organization. Transcription factors are essential for macrophage polarization. Epigenetic modification of transcription factors determines the heterogeneity of macrophages. In contrast, transcription factors also regulate the expression of epigenetic enzymes. Both transcription factors and epigenetic enzymes form a complex network that regulates the plasticity of macrophages. Here, we describe the latest knowledge concerning the potential epigenetic mechanisms that precisely regulate the biological function of macrophages and their effects on skin wound healing.

Abstract
Worldwide, the rapid increase in the incidence of diabetes and its complications poses a serious threat to human health. Ferroptosis, which is a new nonapoptotic form of cell death, has been proven to be closely related to the occurrence and development of diabetes and its complications. In recent years, lncRNAs have been confirmed to be involved in the occurrence and development of diabetes and play an important role in regulating ferroptosis. An increasing number of studies have shown that lncRNAs can affect the occurrence and development of diabetes and its complications by regulating ferroptosis. Therefore, lncRNAs have great potential as therapeutic targets for regulating ferroptosis-mediated diabetes and its complications. This paper reviewed the potential impact and regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis on diabetes and its complications, focusing on the effects of lncRNAs on the occurrence and development of ferroptosis-mediated diabetes and its complications and the regulation of ferroptosis-inducing reactive oxygen species, the key ferroptosis regulator Nrf2 and the NF-κB signaling pathway to provide new therapeutic strategies for the development of lncRNA-regulated ferroptosis-targeted drugs to treat diabetes.

Abstract
Purpose Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are increasingly applied in tendon repair. However, the underlying mechanisms of ADSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in tendon healing are largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of the EVs secreted by ADSCs on the recovery of tendon injuries and its potential mechanism. Materials and Methods We injected ADSCs into the injured tendon, followed by the evaluation of the tissue morphology, tenocyte proliferation, and oxidative stress. Then, the injured tenocytes were treated with EVs secreted by ADSCs, and oxidative stress and proliferation of tenocytes in vitro were detected. After the overexpression and knockdown of miR-19a and its target protein IGFBP3, the oxidative stress and proliferation of tenocytes in vitro were assessed. Finally, the injured tendon was treated with EVs, and the tissue morphology and proliferation of the injured tendon in vivo were examined. Results ADSC-derived EVs were found to inhibit oxidative stress and promote proliferation of tenocytes isolated from an injury model of rats. EVs were shown to carry miR-19a which regulated the expression of IGFBP3 through binding to 3'UTR of IGFBP3 mRNA. In addition, IGFBP3 promotes oxidative stress and inhibits proliferation of tenocytes. Finally, we found that ADSC-derived EVs promoted tendon wound healing in vivo. Conclusions Our data suggest that treatment with ADSC-derived EVs ameliorates tendon injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and promoting proliferation in tenocytes. miR-19a carried by ADSC-derived EVs regulates IGFBP3 expression through binding to its 3'UTR.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has created an urgent global situation. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in COVID-19 patients to understand disease pathogenesis and the genetic factor(s) responsible for inter-individual variability and disease comorbidities. The pandemic continues to spread worldwide, despite intense efforts to develop multiple vaccines and therapeutic options against COVID-19. However, the precise role of SARS-CoV-2 in the pathophysiology of the nasopharyngeal tract (NT) is still unfathomable. This study utilized machine learning approaches to analyze 22 RNA-seq data from COVID-19 patients (n = 8), recovered individuals (n = 7), and healthy individuals (n = 7) to find disease-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We compared dysregulated DEGs to detect critical pathways and gene ontology (GO) connected to COVID-19 comorbidities. We found 1960 and 153 DEG signatures in COVID-19 patients and recovered individuals compared to healthy controls. In COVID-19 patients, the DEG–miRNA, and DEG–transcription factors (TFs) interactions network analysis revealed that E2F1, MAX, EGR1, YY1, and SRF were the highly expressed TFs, whereas hsa-miR-19b, hsa-miR-495, hsa-miR-340, hsa-miR-101, and hsa-miR-19a were the overexpressed miRNAs. Three chemical agents (Valproic Acid, Alfatoxin B1, and Cyclosporine) were abundant in COVID-19 patients and recovered individuals. Mental retardation, mental deficit, intellectual disability, muscle hypotonia, micrognathism, and cleft palate were the significant diseases associated with COVID-19 by sharing DEGs. Finally, the detected DEGs mediated by TFs and miRNA expression indicated that SARS-CoV-2 infection might contribute to various comorbidities. Our results provide the common DEGs between COVID-19 patients and recovered humans, which suggests some crucial insights into the complex interplay between COVID-19 progression and the recovery stage, and offer some suggestions on therapeutic target identification in COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The vitality demonstration refers to determining if an injury has been caused ante- or post-mortem, while wound age means to evaluate how long a subject has survived after the infliction of an injury. Histology alone is not enough to prove the vitality of a lesion. Recently, immunohistochemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology have been introduced in the field of lesions vitality and age demonstration. The study was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic review (PRISMA) protocol. The search terms were "wound", "lesion", "vitality", "evaluation", "immunohistochemistry", "proteins", "electrolytes", "mRNAs", and "miRNAs" in the title, abstract, and keywords. This evaluation left 137 scientific papers. This review aimed to collect all the knowledge on vital wound demonstration and provide a temporal distribution of the methods currently available, in order to determine the age of lesions, thus helping forensic pathologists in finding a way through the tangled jungle of wound vitality evaluation.

Circulating serum microRNAs including senescent miR-31-5p are associated with incident fragility fractures in older postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Bone 2022; 158:116308. [PMID: 35066213 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Fragility fractures are an important hallmark of aging and an increasingly recognized complication of Type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D individuals have been found to exhibit an increased fracture risk despite elevated bone mineral density (BMD) by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). However, BMD and FRAX-scores tend to underestimate fracture risk in T2D. New, reliable biomarkers are therefore needed. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are secreted into the circulation from cells of various tissues proportional to local disease severity. Serum miRNA-classifiers were recently found to discriminate T2D women with and without prevalent fragility fractures with high specificity and sensitivity (AUC > 0.90). However, the association of circulating miRNAs with incident fractures in T2D has not been examined yet. In 168 T2D postmenopausal women in the AGES-Reykjavik cohort, miRNAs were extracted from baseline serum and a panel of 10 circulating miRNAs known to be involved in diabetic bone disease and aging was quantified by qPCR and Ct-values extracted. Unadjusted and adjusted Cox proportional hazard models assessed the associations between serum miRNAs and incident fragility fracture. Additionally, Receiver operating curve (ROC) analyses were performed. Of the included 168 T2D postmenopausal women who were on average 77.2 ± 5.6 years old, 70 experienced at least one incident fragility fracture during the mean follow-up of 5.8 ± 2.7 years. We found that 3 serum miRNAs were significantly associated with incident diabetic fragility fracture: while low expression of miR-19b-1-5p was associated with significantly lower risk of incident fragility fracture (HR 0.84 (95% CI: 0.71-0.99, p = 0.0323)), low expression of miR-203a and miR-31-5p was each significantly associated with a higher risk of incident fragility fracture per unit increase in Ct-value (miR-203a: HR 1.29 (95% CI: 1.12-1.49), p = 0.0004, miR-31-5p HR 1.27 (95% CI: 1.06-1.52), p = 0.009). Hazard ratios of the latter two miRNAs remained significant after adjustments for age, body mass index (BMI), areal bone mineral density (aBMD), clinical FRAX or FRAXaBMD. Women with miR-203a and miR-31-5p serum levels in the lowest expression quartiles exhibited a 2.4-3.4-fold larger fracture risk than women with miR-31-5p and miR-203a serum expressions in the highest expression quartile (0.002 ≤ p ≤ 0.039). Women with both miR-203a and miR-31-5p serum levels below the median had a significantly increased fracture risk (Unadjusted HR 3.26 (95% CI: 1.57-6.78, p = 0.001) compared to those with both expression levels above the median, stable to adjustments. We next built a diabetic fragility signature consisting of the 3 miRNAs that showed the largest associations with incident fracture (miR-203a, miR-31-5p, miR-19b-1-5p). This 3-miRNA signature showed with an AUC of 0.722 comparable diagnostic accuracy in identifying incident fractures to any of the clinical parameters such as aBMD, Clinical FRAX or FRAXaBMD alone. When the 3 miRNAs were combined with aBMD, this combined 4-feature signature performed with an AUC of 0.756 (95% CI: 0.680, 0.823) significantly better than aBMD alone (AUC 0.666, 95% CI: 0.585, 0.741) (p = 0.009). Our data indicate that specific serum microRNAs including senescent miR-31-5p are associated with incident fragility fracture in older diabetic women and can significantly improve fracture risk prediction in diabetics when combined with aBMD measurements of the femoral neck.

Abstract
Many biological systems have evolved circadian rhythms based on the daily cycles of daylight and darkness on Earth. Such rhythms are synchronised or entrained to 24-h cycles, predominantly by light, and disruption of the normal circadian rhythms has been linked to elevation of multiple health risks. The skin serves as a protective barrier to prevent microbial infection and maintain homoeostasis of the underlying tissue and the whole organism. However, in chronic non-healing wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pressure sores, venous and arterial ulcers, a variety of factors conspire to prevent wound repair. On the other hand, keloids and hypertrophic scars arise from overactive repair mechanisms that fail to cease in a timely fashion, leading to excessive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as such as collagen. Recent years have seen huge increases in our understanding of the functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in wound repair. Concomitantly, there has been growing recognition of miRNA roles in circadian processes, either as regulators or targets of clock activity or direct responders to external circadian stimuli. In addition, miRNAs are now known to function as intercellular signalling mediators through extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this review, we explore the intersection of mechanisms by which circadian and miRNA responses interact with each other in relation to wound repair in the skin, using keratinocytes, macrophages and fibroblasts as exemplars. We highlight areas for further investigation to support the development of translational insights to support circadian medicine in the context of these cells.

Abstract
Wound healing, a highly complex pathophysiological response to injury, includes four overlapping phases of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Initiation and resolution of the inflammatory response are the primary requirements for wound healing, and are also key events that determines wound quality and healing time. Currently, the number of patients with persistent chronic wounds has generally increased, which imposes health and economic burden on patients and society. Recent studies have found that microRNA(miRNA) plays an essential role in the inflammation involved in wound healing and may provide a new therapeutic direction for wound treatment. Therefore, this review focused on the role and significance of miRNA in the inflammation phase of wound healing.

Platelet-Released Growth Factors Influence Wound Healing-Associated Genes in Human Keratinocytes and Ex Vivo Skin Explants. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23052827. [PMID: 35269967 PMCID: PMC8911300 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23052827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelet-released growth factors (PRGFs) or other thrombocyte concentrate products, e.g., Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), have become efficient tools of regenerative medicine in many medical disciplines. In the context of wound healing, it has been demonstrated that treatment of chronic or complicated wounds with PRGF or PRF improves wound healing in the majority of treated patients. Nevertheless, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanism are still poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to analyze if PRGF-treatment of human keratinocytes caused the induction of genes encoding paracrine factors associated with successful wound healing. The investigated genes were Semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A), Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPLT4), Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2), Interleukin-32 (IL-32), the CC-chemokine-ligand 20 (CCL20), the matrix-metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), the chemokine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) and the subunit B of the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGFB). We observed a significant gene induction of SEMA7A, ANGPLT4, FGF-2, IL-32, MMP-2 and PDGFB in human keratinocytes after PRGF treatment. The CCL20- and CXCL10 gene expressions were significantly inhibited by PRGF therapy. Signal transduction analyses revealed that the PRGF-mediated gene induction of SEMA7A, ANGPLT4, IL-32 and MMP-2 in human keratinocytes was transduced via the IL-6 receptor pathway. In contrast, EGF receptor signaling was not involved in the PRGF-mediated gene expression of analyzed genes in human keratinocytes. Additionally, treatment of ex vivo skin explants with PRGF confirmed a significant gene induction of SEMA7A, ANGPLT4, MMP-2 and PDGFB. Taken together, these results describe a new mechanism that could be responsible for the beneficial wound healing properties of PRGF or related thrombocytes concentrate products such as PRF.

Abstract
Proliferation and migration of keratinocytes are vital processes for the successful epithelization specifically after wounding. MiR‐221 has been identified to play a potential role in promoting wound regeneration by inducing blood vessel formation. However, little is known about the role of miR‐221 in the keratinocyte proliferation and migration during wound healing. An in vivo mice wound‐healing model was generated; the expression levels of miR‐221 were assessed by qRT‐PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Initially, we found that miR‐221 was upregulated in the proliferative phase of wound healing. Further, in an in vivo wound‐healing mice model, targeted delivery of miR‐221 mimics accelerated wound healing. Contrastingly, inhibition of miR‐221 delayed healing. Additionally, we observed that overexpression of miR‐221 promoted cell proliferation and migration, while inhibition of miR‐221 had the opposite effects. Moreover, we identified SOCS7 as a direct target of miR‐221 in keratinocytes and overexpression of SOCS7 reversed the effects of miR‐221 in HaCaT keratinocytes. Finally, we identified that YB‐1 regulates the expression of miR‐221 in HaCaT keratinocytes. Overall, our experiments suggest that miR‐221 is regulated by YB‐1 in HaCaT keratinocytes and acts on SOCS7, thereby playing an important role in HaCaT keratinocyte proliferation and migration during wound healing.

Abstract
An increasing number of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been found to regulate gene expression and protein functions, playing important roles in diverse biological processes and diseases. Their crucial functions have been reported in almost every cell type and all stages of skin wound healing. Evidence of their pathogenetic roles in common wound complications, such as chronic nonhealing wounds and excessive scarring, is also accumulating. Given their unique expression and functional properties, ncRNAs are promising therapeutic and diagnostic entities. In this review, we discuss current knowledge about the functional roles of noncoding elements, such as microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs, in skin wound healing, focusing on in vivo evidence from studies of human wound samples and animal wound models. Finally, we provide a perspective on the outlook of ncRNA-based therapeutics in wound care.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common cancer that is one of the leading causes of cancerrelated deaths around the world. The creation of new biomarkers for this disease is an important public health strategy for lowering the disease's mortality rate. According to new research, exosomes may be important sources of biomarkers in CRC. Exosomes are nanometer-sized membrane vesicles (30-200 nm) secreted by normal and cancer cells that transport RNA and proteins between cells and are thought to help with intercellular communication. Exosomes have been linked to CRC initiation and progression, and some differentially expressed RNAs and proteins in exosomes have been identified as potential cancer detection candidates. As a result, studying the relationship between exosomes and CRC may aid in the development of new biomarkers for the disease. This article discusses the importance of exosomes as biomarkers in the diagnosis of CRC, as well as their use in the treatment of CRC metastasis, chemoresistance, and recrudescence. The benefits and drawbacks of using exosomes as tumour markers are also discussed.

Abstract
Migration of keratinocytes plays a crucial role in the re-epithelialization phase during wound healing. Circular RNA (circRNA) protein kinase, DNA-activated, catalytic subunit (circ_PRKDC, hsa_circ_0084443) has been identified as a regulator of keratinocyte migration. However, the molecular basis governing it remains unclear. The levels of circ_PRKDC, microRNA (miR)-20a-3p, and RAS p21 protein activator 1 (RASA1) were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) or western blot. Subcellular localization, Actinomycin D, and Ribonuclease (RNase) R assays were performed to characterise circ_PRKDC. Cell migration was gauged by transwell and wound-healing assays. A direct relationship between miR-20a-3p and circ_PRKDC or RASA1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Circ_PRKDC expression was reduced in wound skin during wound healing. Circ_PRKDC modulated migration of HaCaT keratinocytes. Mechanistically, circ_PRKDC directly targeted miR-20a-3p. The regulation of circ_PRKDC on HaCaT keratinocyte migration was mediated by miR-20a-3p. RASA1 was identified as a direct and functional target of miR-20a-3p, and miR-20a-3p-mediated inhibition of RASA1 impacted HaCaT keratinocyte migration. Circ_PRKDC acted as a post-transcriptional modulator of RASA1 expression through miR-20a-3p. Moreover, circ_PRKDC modulated migration of HaCaT keratinocytes by RASA1. Our findings demonstrated a novel molecular basis, the miR-20a-3p/RASA1 axis, for the regulation of circ_PRKDC on HaCaT keratinocyte migration.

Abstract
In recent years, the main quest of science has been the pioneering of the groundbreaking biomedical strategies needed for achieving a personalized medicine. Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are outstanding bioactive macromolecules identified as pivotal actors in regulating a wide range of biochemical pathways. The ability to intimately control the cell fate and tissue activities makes RNA-based drugs the most fascinating family of bioactive agents. However, achieving a widespread application of RNA therapeutics in humans is still a challenging feat, due to both the instability of naked RNA and the presence of biological barriers aimed at hindering the entrance of RNA into cells. Recently, material scientists' enormous efforts have led to the development of various classes of nanostructured carriers customized to overcome these limitations. This work systematically reviews the current advances in developing the next generation of drugs based on nanotechnology-assisted RNA delivery. The features of the most used RNA molecules are presented, together with the development strategies and properties of nanostructured vehicles. Also provided is an in-depth overview of various therapeutic applications of the presented systems, including coronavirus disease vaccines and the newest trends in the field. Lastly, emerging challenges and future perspectives for nanotechnology-mediated RNA therapies are discussed.

Abstract
Nowadays, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) represents a major global health problem. Intensive efforts are being employed to better understand this pathology and develop strategies enabling its early diagnosis and efficient treatment. In this study, we compared the signature of circulating miRNAs in plasma of COVID-19 patients versus healthy donors. MiRCURY LNA miRNA miRNome qPCR Panels were performed for miRNA signature characterization. Individual quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was carried out to validate miRNome qPCR results. Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the most significantly deregulated miRNA(s) as potential diagnostic biomarker(s). Eight miRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed with miR-17-5p and miR-142-5p being down-regulated whilst miR-15a-5p, miR-19a-3p, miR-19b-3p, miR-23a-3p, miR-92a-3p and miR-320a being up-regulated in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. ROC curve analyses revealed an AUC (Areas Under the ROC Curve) of 0.815 (P = 0.031), 0.875 (P = 0.012), and 0.850 (P = 0.025) for miR-19a-3p, miR-19b-3p, and miR-92a-3p, respectively. Combined ROC analyses using these 3 miRNAs showed a greater AUC of 0.917 (P = 0.0001) indicating a robust diagnostic value of these 3 miRNAs. These results suggest that plasma miR-19a-3p, miR-19b-3p, and miR-92a-3p expression levels could serve as potential diagnostic biomarker and/or a putative therapeutic target during SARS-CoV-2-infection.

Abstract
Keratinocyte migration is vital in the re-epithelialisation of the skin during wound healing. Multiple factors conspire to impair closure of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and pressure wounds. Despite deep mechanistic understanding of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and function, the translational potential of these small genetic molecules has not been exploited to promote wound repair. In this review, I focus on miRNAs whose importance for wound healing stems from their impact on epidermal keratinocyte behaviour. These include miR-21-5p, miR-31-5p, miR-132-3p, miR-19b, miR-20a, miR-184, miR-129-5p and miR-335-5p which regulate diverse aspect of keratinocyte biology such as migration, proliferation, differentiation, inflammation and wound closure. A combinatorial approach where two or more miRNA mimics targeting distinct but complementary wound healing processes is proposed as this may enhance wound repair more effectively than any single miRNA mimic alone.

Abstract
Skin wounds greatly affect the global healthcare system, creating a substantial burden on the economy and society. Moreover, the situation is exacerbated by low healing rates, which in fact are overestimated in reports. Cutaneous wounds are generally classified into acute and chronic. The immune response plays an important role during acute wound healing. The activation of immune cells and factors initiate the inflammatory process, facilitate wound cleansing and promote subsequent tissue healing. However, dysregulation of the immune system during the wound healing process leads to persistent inflammation and delayed healing, which ultimately result in chronic wounds. The microenvironment of a chronic wound is characterized by high quantities of pro-inflammatory macrophages, overexpression of inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α and IL-1β, increased activity of matrix metalloproteinases and abundance of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, chronic wounds are frequently complicated by bacterial biofilms, which perpetuate the inflammatory phase. Continuous inflammation and microbial biofilms make it very difficult for the chronic wounds to heal. In this review, we discuss the role of innate and adaptive immunity in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic wounds. Furthermore, we review the latest immunomodulatory therapeutic strategies, including modifying macrophage phenotype, regulating miRNA expression and targeting pro- and anti-inflammatory factors to improve wound healing.

[PMID: 33690920 DOI: 10.1111/exd.14325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Revised: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Stringent spatiotemporal regulation of the wound healing process involving multiple cell types is associated with epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation, such as DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatin remodelling, as well as non-coding RNAs. Here, we discuss the epigenetic changes that occur during wound healing and the rapidly expanding understanding of how these mechanisms affect healing resolution in both acute and chronic wound milieu. We provide a focussed overview of current research into epigenetic regulators that contribute to wound healing by specific cell type. We highlight the role of epigenetic regulators in the molecular pathophysiology of chronic wound conditions. The understanding of how epigenetic regulators can affect cellular functions during normal and impaired wound healing could lead to novel therapeutic approaches, and we outline questions that can provide guidance for future research on epigenetic-based interventions to promote healing. Dissecting the dynamic interplay between cellular subtypes involved in wound healing and epigenetic parameters during barrier repair will deepen our understanding of how to improve healing outcomes in patients affected by chronic non-healing wounds.

Abstract
Macrophages are prominent cells in normally healing adult skin wounds, yet their exact functions and functional significance to healing outcomes remain enigmatic. Many functional attributes are ascribed to wound macrophages, including host defense and support of the proliferation of new tissue to replace that lost by injury. Indeed, the depletion of macrophages is unmistakably detrimental to normal skin healing in adult mammals. Yet in certain systems, dermal wounds seem to heal well with limited or even no functional macrophages, creating an apparent paradox regarding the function of this cell in wounds. Recent advances in our understanding of wound macrophage phenotypes, along with new information about cellular plasticity in wounds, may provide some explanation for the apparently contradictory findings and suggest new paradigms regarding macrophage function in wounds. Continued study of this remarkable cell is needed to develop effective therapeutic options to improve healing outcomes.

Abstract
<abstract>
<p>Wound healing (WH) is a fundamental physiological process to keep the integrity of the skin, therefore impaired and chronic WH is a common and severe medical problem and represent one of the biggest challenges of public health. The resolution of the WH inflammatory phase is characterized by a complex series of events that involves many cellular types, especially neutrophils, macrophages and inflammatory mediators, which are crucial for a correct wound closure. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in wound repair. In fact, miR-142 is linked to inflammation modulating neutrophils' chemotaxis and polarization, while the polarization of M1 toward the M2 phenotype is driven by miR-223 and miR-132 is linked to chemokines and cytokines that activate endothelial cells and attract leukocytes and peripheral cells to the damage site. Thus, understanding the dysregulation of miRNAs in WH will be decisive for the development of new and more effective therapies for the management of chronic wounds.</p>

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol 2020; 13:957-971.

Abstract
Introduction Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) with their secretory factors are able to induce collagen synthesis and fibroblast migration in the wound healing process. This study is launched to figure out the effect of human ADMSCs-derived exosomes on skin wound healing. Methods ADMSCs were extracted and ADMSCs-derived exosomes were identified. Skin damage models were established by treating HaCaT cells and human skin fibroblasts with H2O2. Next, the roles of ADMSCs and their derived exosomes were investigated. The exosomal miRNA then was analyzed, and the function of miRNA on the H2O2-induced cells was studied by miRNA suppression. Bioinformatics analysis, luciferase activity and RIP assays were implemented to find the target genes ofthe miRNA and the modulated pathways. A mouse skin damage model was induced to elucidate the effects of exosomes in vivo by injecting exosomes. Results H2O2 treatment significantly reduced the viability of HaCaT cells and increased their apoptosis rate. Co-culture with ADMSCs or their derived exosomes could improve the cell damage caused by H2O2. Meanwhile, H2O2 treatment promoted the internalization of exosomes. ADMSCs and their derived exosomes significantly increased miR-19b expression in the recipient cells, while inhibiting miR-19b resulted in a reduction in the therapeutic effect of ADMSCs-derived exosomes. Besides, miR-19b regulated the TGF-β pathway by targeting CCL1. The therapeutic effect of exosomes was further confirmed by a mouse model of skin damage. Conclusion Our study indicates that exosomal miR-19b derived from ADMSCs regulates the TGF-β pathway by targeting CCL1, thereby promoting the healing of skin wounds.

Abstract
As the most dominant cell type in the skin, keratinocytes play critical roles in wound repair not only as structural cells but also exerting important immune functions. This review focuses on the communications between keratinocytes and immune cells in wound healing, which are mediated by various cytokines, chemokines, and extracellular vesicles. Keratinocytes can also directly interact with T cells via antigen presentation. Moreover, keratinocytes produce antimicrobial peptides that can directly kill the invading pathogens and contribute to wound repair in many aspects. We also reviewed the epigenetic mechanisms known to regulate keratinocyte immune functions, including histone modifications, non-protein-coding RNAs (e.g., microRNAs, and long noncoding RNAs), and chromatin dynamics. Lastly, we summarized the current evidence on the dysregulated immune functions of keratinocytes in chronic nonhealing wounds. Based on their crucial immune functions in skin wound healing, we propose that keratinocytes significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic wound inflammation. We hope this review will trigger an interest in investigating the immune roles of keratinocytes in chronic wound pathology, which may open up new avenues for developing innovative wound treatments.
