Abstract
Wound healing impairment in diabetes mellitus is associated with an excessive inflammatory response and defective regeneration capability with suppressed Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. The bromodomain protein BRD9, a subunit of the non-canonical BAF chromatin-remodeling complex, is critical for macrophage inflammatory response. However, whether the epigenetic drug BRD9 degrader can attenuate the sustained inflammatory state of wounds in diabetes remains unclear. Without a bona fide immune microenvironment, Hh signaling activation fails to effectively rescue the suppressed proliferative ability of dermal fibroblasts and the vascularization of endothelial cells. Therefore, a silk-based core-shell microneedle (MN) patch is proposed to dynamically modulate the wound immune microenvironment and the regeneration process. Specifically, the BRD9 degrader released from the shell of the MNs mitigated the excessive inflammatory response in the early phase. Subsequently, the positively charged Hh signaling agonist is released from the negatively charged core of the silk fibroin nanofibers and promotes the phase transition from inflammation to regeneration, including re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. These findings suggest that the programmed silk-based core-shell MN patch is an ideal therapeutic strategy for effective skin regeneration in diabetic wounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer accounts for a significant proportion of cancer-related deaths in China, with the majority of the cases being classified as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aimed to investigate the expression of serum SNHG22 in patients with NSCLC, and its molecular mechanism and prognostic potential in NSCLC. METHODS Admitted 125 NSCLC patients were selected for the study, along with 125 healthy individuals in the same period. The levels of SNHG22 and miR-128-3p were quantified via RT-qPCR. Correlations between the SNHG22 level and the pathological characteristics of the NSCLC patients were investigated through the application of the chi-square test. The targeting relationship between SNHG22 and miR-128-3p was predicted by online database and confirmed by luciferase activity. The prognostic ability of SNHG22 in NSCLC was assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox analysis. RESULTS SNHG22 was upregulated in NSCLC and directly targeted miR-128-3p. The rate of overall survival is lower in patients with high-SNHG22 group compared to those with low-SNHG22 group. Silencing SNHG22 impaired the functionality of cells, which was restored by miR-128-3p inhibitor. SNHG22 stands as an independent predictor of poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. CONCLUSION The overexpression of SNHG22 in NSCLC is related to lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and patient survival, which is expected to be a prognostic predictor of NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Wound healing in diabetic ulcers remains a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to bacterial infection and impaired angiogenesis. Periplaneta americana extract (PAE) has been widely used to treat diabetic wounds, yet its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate these mechanisms by analyzing long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expressions in the wound tissues from diabetic anal fistula patients treated with or without PAE, using high-throughput sequencing. Peripheral blood monocytes from patients were differentiated into M0 macrophages with human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hM-CSF) and subsequently polarized into M1 macrophages with lipopolysaccharide. The results indicated that LINC01133 and SLAMF9 were downregulated in wound tissues of patients treated with PAE. Furthermore, PAE suppressed M1 macrophage polarization and enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. These effects were diminished when LINC01133 or SLAMF9 were overexpressed. Mechanistically, LINC01133 was shown to upregulate SLAMF9 through interaction with ELAVL1. Overexpression of SLAMF9 reversed the effects of LINC01133 silencing on macrophage polarization and HUVEC functions. In conclusion, PAE facilitates the healing of infected diabetic ulcers by downregulating the LINC01133/SLAMF9 pathway.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus has become a serious threat to public health. This non-communicable disease is spreading like wildfire to shape in the form of a global pandemic. It affects several organs during silent progression in the human body. The pathophysiological fallouts associate dysregulation of numerous cellular pathways. MicroRNAs have emerged as potent gene expression regulators by post-transcriptional mechanisms in the last two decades or so. Many microRNAs display differential expression patterns under hyperglycemia affecting coupled cellular signaling cascades. The present article attempts to unfold the involvement of microRNAs as biomarkers in diabetic conditions in current scenarios identifying their therapeutic significance.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are usually difficult to heal, and wounds in foot in particular are often aggravated by infection, trauma, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease and other factors, resulting in serious foot ulcers. The pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of diabetic wounds are complicated, and there is still a lack of objective and in-depth laboratory diagnosis and classification standards. Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles containing DNA, mRNA, microRNA, cyclic RNA, metabolites, lipids, cytoplasm and cell surface proteins, etc., which are involved in intercellular communication and play a crucial role in vascular regeneration, tissue repair and inflammation regulation in the process of diabetic wound healing. Here, we discussed exosomes of different cellular origins, such as diabetic wound-related fibroblasts (DWAF), adipose stem cells (ASCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), immune cells, platelets, human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs), epidermal stem cells (ESCs), and their various molecular components. They exhibit multiple therapeutic effects during diabetic wound healing, including promoting cell proliferation and migration associated with wound healing, regulating macrophage polarization to inhibit inflammatory responses, promoting nerve repair, and promoting vascular renewal and accelerating wound vascularization. In addition, exosomes can be designed to deliver different therapeutic loads and have the ability to deliver them to the desired target. Therefore, exosomes may become an innovative target for precision therapeutics in diabetic wounds. In this review, we summarize the latest research on the role of exosomes in the healing of diabetic wound by regulating the pathogenesis of diabetic wounds, and discuss their potential applications in the precision treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
A non-healing diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a debilitating clinical problem amounting to socioeconomic and psychosocial burdens. DFUs increase morbidity due to prolonged treatment and mortality in the case of non-treatable ulcers resulting in gangrene and septicemia. The overall amputation rate of the lower extremity with DFU ranges from 3.34% to 42.83%. Wound debridement, antibiotics, applying growth factors, negative pressure wound therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, topical oxygen, and skin grafts are common therapies for DFU. However, recurrence and nonhealing ulcers are still major issues. Chronicity of inflammation, hypoxic environment, poor angiogenesis, and decreased formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are common impediments leading to nonhealing patterns of DFUs. Angiogenesis is crucial for wound healing since proper vessel formation facilitates nutrients, oxygen, and immune cells to the ulcer tissue to help in clearing out debris and facilitate healing. However, poor angiogenesis due to decreased expression of angiogenic mediators and matrix formation results in nonhealing and ultimately amputation. Multiple proangiogenic mediators and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy exist to enhance angiogenesis, but the results are not satisfactory. Thus, there is a need to investigate novel pro-angiogenic mediators that can either alone or in combination enhance the angiogenesis and healing of DFUs. In this article, we critically reviewed the existing pro-angiogenic mediators followed by potentially novel factors that might play a regulatory role in promoting angiogenesis and wound healing in DFUs.

Abstract
Sanguisorba officinalis L., a traditional Chinese medicine, is frequently used to treat burns and scalds. But even so, it is unknown whether S. officinalis L. can accelerate diabetic wounds (DW) healing. Here, to bridge the gap, we employed in vivo and in vitro evaluations to assess the positive effect of S. officinalis L. ethanol extract (ESO) on DW. Results demonstrated that ESO dramatically improved the DW healing rate. With ESO treatment, the inappropriately elevated levels of IL6, IL1β and TNFα in DW were reduced, while the expression of IL10 was increased, indicating that the abnormal inflammation in DW was also under control. Moreover, the abnormally elevated expression of CD86 was significantly inhibited and the expression of CD206 was significantly up-regulated following treatment with ESO. The global level of NF-κB protein was not affected by ESO treatment, but it suppressed the expression of phosphorylated NF-κB and prevented its nuclear entry. In addition, in RAW264.7 cells activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the expression of NLRP3, Caspase1 and IL1β were significantly diminished following ESO treatment. In conclusion, ESO was proved to be a promising treatment for DW healing due to its potential to accelerate the healing process by suppressing the inflammatory response. This was achieved by increasing the ratio of M2 to M1 polarization through blocking the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common metabolic disorder. Due to insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance, increased blood glucose often leads to impaired wound healing in T2D patients. Our previous research showed that adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) from normal mice and T2D mice improved the cutaneous wound healing of diabetic mice. We also found that the expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in T2D ASCs was significantly decreased. METHODS In order to explore the effects of NPY on ASCs and diabetic wound healing, we investigated the effects of NPY on ASCs proliferation and growth factors expression and secretion, the effects of NPY on skin fibroblasts, and the effects of NPY combined with ASCs on T2D wound healing. RESULTS The results showed that a certain concentration of NPY could promote the proliferation and the growth factors expression and secretion of ASCs, and promote the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts. At the same time, NPY and ASCs have a synergistic effect, which can promote wound healing and decrease inflammation in T2D wounds. NPY may regulate ASCs through the ERK pathway. These results are conducive to promoting ASCs and NPY in the treatment of diabetic wounds. CONCLUSIONS NPY can promote the effect of ASCs in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Diabetes is a group of chronic diseases with blood glucose imbalance, and long-term hyperglycaemia causes sustained damage to various organs of the body, resulting in vascular lesions, neuropathy and impaired wound healing. Diabetic wound formation involves a variety of complex mechanisms, and they are characterized by a persistent chronic inflammatory response, degradation of angiogenesis and imbalance of extracellular matrix regulation, all of which are related to oxidative stress. Additionally, repair and healing of diabetic wounds require the participation of a variety of cells, cytokines, genes, and other factors, which together constitute a complex biological regulatory network. Recent studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be involved in the regulation of several key biological pathways and cellular functions demonstrating their critical role in diabetic wound healing. LncRNAs are a major family of RNAs with limited or no protein-coding function. Numerous studies have recently reported a strong link between oxidative stress and lncRNAs. Given that both lncRNAs and oxidative stress have been identified as potential drivers of diabetic wound healing, their link in diabetic wound healing can be inferred. However, the specific mechanism of oxidative stress related to lncRNAs in diabetic wound healing is still unclear, and elucidating the functions of lncRNAs in these processes remains a major challenge. This article reviews the mechanisms of lncRNAs related to oxidative stress in several stages of diabetic wound healing and discusses diagnostic and treatment potential of lncRNAs to treat diabetic wounds by improving oxidative stress, as well as the challenges of using lncRNAs for this purpose. It is hoped that these results will provide new targets and strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of impaired wound healing in diabetic patients.

Abstract
An impaired healing response underlies diabetic foot wound chronicity, frequently translating to amputation, disability, and mortality. Diabetics suffer from underappreciated episodes of post-epithelization ulcer recurrence. Recurrence epidemiological data are alarmingly high, so the ulcer is considered in "remission" and not healed from the time it remains epithelialized. Recurrence may result from the combined effects of behavioral and endogenous biological factors. Although the damaging role of behavioral, clinical predisposing factors is undebatable, it still remains elusive in the identification of endogenous biological culprits that may prime the residual scar tissue for recurrence. Furthermore, the event of ulcer recurrence still waits for the identification of a molecular predictor. We propose that ulcer recurrence is deeply impinged by chronic hyperglycemia and its downstream biological effectors, which originate epigenetic drivers that enforce abnormal pathologic phenotypes to dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes as memory cells. Hyperglycemia-derived cytotoxic reactants accumulate and modify dermal proteins, reduce scar tissue mechanical tolerance, and disrupt fibroblast-secretory activity. Accordingly, the combination of epigenetic and local and systemic cytotoxic signalers induce the onset of "at-risk phenotypes" such as premature skin cell aging, dysmetabolism, inflammatory, pro-degradative, and oxidative programs that may ultimately converge to scar cell demise. Post-epithelialization recurrence rate data are missing in clinical studies of reputed ulcer healing therapies during follow-up periods. Intra-ulcer infiltration of epidermal growth factor exhibits the most consistent remission data with the lowest recurrences during 12-month follow-up. Recurrence data should be regarded as a valuable clinical endpoint during the investigational period for each emergent healing candidate.

Abstract
Diabetic foot is one of the most common complications of diabetes, requiring repeated surgical interventions and leading to amputation. In the absence of effective drugs, new treatments need to be explored. Previous studies have found that stem cell transplantation can promote the healing of chronic diabetic wounds. However, safety issues have limited the clinical application of this technique. Recently, the performance of mesenchymal stem cells after transplantation has been increasingly attributed to their production of exocrine functional derivatives such as extracellular vesicles (EVs), cytokines, and cell-conditioned media. EVs contain a variety of cellular molecules, including RNA, DNA and proteins, which facilitate the exchange of information between cells. EVs have several advantages over parental stem cells, including a high safety profile, no immune response, fewer ethical concerns, and a reduced likelihood of embolism formation and carcinogenesis. In this paper, we summarize the current knowledge of mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs in accelerating diabetic wound healing, as well as their potential clinic applications.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the most costly and troublesome complications of diabetes mellitus. The wound chronicity of DFUs remains the main challenge in the current and future treatment of this condition. Persistent inflammation results in chronic wounds characterized by dysregulation of immune cells, such as M1 macrophages, and impairs the polarization of M2 macrophages and the subsequent healing process of DFUs. The interactive regulation of M1 and M2 macrophages during DFU healing is critical and seems manageable. This review details how cytokines and signalling pathways are co-ordinately regulated to control the functions of M1 and M2 macrophages in normal wound repair. DFUs are defective in the M1-to-M2 transition, which halts the whole wound-healing machinery. Many pre-clinical and clinical innovative approaches, including the application of topical insulin, CCL chemokines, micro RNAs, stem cells, stem-cell-derived exosomes, skin substitutes, antioxidants, and the most recent Phase III-approved ON101 topical cream, have been shown to modulate the activity of M1 and M2 macrophages in DFUs. ON101, the newest clinically approved product in this setting, is designed specifically to down-regulate M1 macrophages and further modulate the wound microenvironment to favour M2 emergence and expansion. Finally, the recent evolution of macrophage modulation therapies and techniques will improve the effectiveness of the treatment of diverse DFUs.

Abstract
Purpose Circular RNA (circRNA) serves an important role in tumour genesis and development. But, little is known about its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LA). This study aimed to investigate circRNA6783 expression in peripheral whole blood (PWB) of LA and controls and explore its effect on proliferation and apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma cells (LAC). Patients and Methods The levels of circRNA6783 in LA cell lines and peripheral whole blood (PWB) of 40 patients and 30 controls were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In order to explore the effect of circRNA6783 on LA behavior, we overexpressed circRNA6783 in NCI-H1975 cells. The impact on the proliferation of tumor cells was then examined by Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) assay, and the effects on apoptosis in the cell line were detected using flow cytometry. Results The expression levels of circRNA6783 were significantly higher in LA cell lines and PWB (P < 0.05). The diagnostic value of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.830, with a sensitivity of 60% and specificity of 96.7%. In addition, functional experiments showed that overexpression of circRNA6783 restrained cell proliferation, significantly increased spontaneous apoptosis. Conclusion CircRNA6783 was upregulated in LA PWB. In vitro assessment demonstrated that circRNA6783 could act as a potential biomarker for LA diagnosis.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of single-stranded covalently closed non-coding RNAs without a 5' cap structure or 3' terminal poly (A) tail, which are expressed in a variety of tissues and cells with conserved, stable and specific characteristics. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal tumor in the central nervous system, characterized by high recurrence and mortality rates. The specific expression of circRNAs in GBM has demonstrated their potential to become new biomarkers for the development of GBM. The specific expression of circRNAs in GBM has shown their potential as new biomarkers for GBM cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion, which provides new ideas for GBM treatment. In this paper, we will review the biological properties and functions of circRNAs and their biological roles and clinical applications in GBM.
