[PMID: 39098373 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdermsci.2024.07.005] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia- reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced oxidative stress is a key factor in the pathogenesis of pressure ulcer formation. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death that connects oxidative stress and inflammation in various diseases. Recent studies revealed the protective effect of inhibition of ferroptosis in I/R injury. However, the role of ferroptosis in cutaneous I/R injury remains elusive. OBJECTIVE To assess the role of ferroptosis in the progression of cutaneous I/R injury. METHODS Cutaneous I/R injury experiments and histopathological studies were performed in wild-type mice with or without exposure to volatile ferroptosis inhibitor, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). The suppressive effects of TEMPO on ferroptosis inducing cell death and oxidative stress were examined in vitro. RESULTS Inhibition of ferroptosis with TEMPO significantly reduced ulcer formation after cutaneous I/R injury. Fluctuated ferroptosis markers, such as GPX4, ACSL4, and 4-HNE expression in the I/R skin site, were reversed by TEMPO treatment. Inhibition of ferroptosis reduced apoptosis, CD3+ infiltrating lymphocytes, and improved vascularity in the I/R skin site. Inhibition of ferroptosis also suppressed the enhancement of Nrf2 activation. In vitro, ferroptosis and the activation of ferroptosis-related gene expression by RSL3 stimulation were markedly ameliorated by TEMPO treatment in mouse fibroblasts. Inhibiting ferroptosis also suppressed the elevation of the mRNA levels of NOX2 and HO-1 caused by ferroptosis. CONCLUSION Cutaneous I/R injury-induced ferroptosis likely promotes cell death, vascular loss, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and oxidative stress. The inhibition of ferroptosis with TEMPO might have potential clinical application as novel therapeutic agent for cutaneous I/R injury.

MFGE8 promotes adult hippocampal neurogenesis in rats following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage via modifying the integrin β3/Akt signaling pathway. Cell Death Discov 2024; 10:359. [PMID: 39128910 PMCID: PMC11317487 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-024-02132-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 07/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the most severe type of cerebral strokes, which can cause multiple cellular changes in the brain leading to neuronal injury and neurological deficits. Specifically, SAH can impair adult neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, thus may affecting poststroke neurological and cognitive recovery. Here, we identified a non-canonical role of milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFGE8) in rat brain after experimental SAH, involving a stimulation on adult hippocampal neurogenesis(AHN). Experimental SAH was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats via endovascular perforation, with the in vivo effect of MFGE8 evaluated via the application of recombinant human MFGE8 (rhMFGE8) along with pharmacological interventions, as determined by hemorrhagic grading, neurobehavioral test, and histological and biochemical analyses of neurogenesis related markers. Results: Levels of the endogenous hippocampal MFGE8 protein, integrin-β3 and protein kinase B (p-Akt) were elevated in the SAH relative to control groups, while that of hippocalcin (HPCA) and cyclin D1 showed the opposite change. Intraventricular rhMGFE8 infusion reversed the decrease in doublecortin (DCX) immature neurons in the DG after SAH, along with improved the short/long term neurobehavioral scores. rhMGFE8 treatment elevated the levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), p-Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), CyclinD1, HPCA and DCX in hippocampal lysates, but not that of integrin β3 and Akt, at 24 hr after SAH. Treatment of integrin β3 siRNA, the PI3K selective inhibitor ly294002 or Akt selective inhibitor MK2206 abolished the effects of rhMGFE8 after SAH. In conclusion, MFGE8 is upregulated in the hippocampus in adult rats with reduced granule cell genesis. rhMFGE8 administration can rescue this impaired adult neurogenesis and improve neurobehavioral recovery. Mechanistically, the effect of MFGE8 on hippocampal adult neurogenesis is mediated by the activation of integrin β3/Akt pathway. These findings suggest that exogenous MFGE8 may be of potential therapeutic value in SAH management. Graphical abstract and proposed pathway of rhMFGE8 administration attenuate hippocampal injury by improving neurogenesis in SAH models. SAH caused hippocampal injury and neurogenesis interruption. Administered exogenous MFGE8, recombinant human MFGE8(rhMFGE8), could ameliorate hippocampal injury and improve neurological functions after SAH. Mechanistically, MFGE8 bind to the receptor integrin β3, which activated the PI3K/Akt pathway to increase the mTOR expression, and further promote the expression of cyclin D1, HPCA and DCX. rhMFGE8 could attenuated hippocampal injury by improving neurogenesis after SAH, however, know down integrin β3 or pharmacological inhibited PI3K/Akt by ly294002 or MK2206 reversed the neuro-protective effect of rhMFGE8.

Abstract
Effectively eliminating apoptotic cells is precisely controlled by a variety of signaling molecules and a phagocytic effect known as efferocytosis. Abnormalities in efferocytosis may bring about the development of chronic conditions, including angiocardiopathy, chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. During wound healing, failure of efferocytosis leads to the collection of apoptosis, the release of necrotic material and chronic wounds that are difficult to heal. In addition to the traditional phagocytes-macrophages, other important cell species including dendritic cells, neutrophils, vascular endothelial cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes contribute to wounding healing. This review summarizes how efferocytosis-mediated immunomodulation plays a repair-promoting role in wound healing, providing new insights for patients suffering from various cutaneous wounds.

J Invest Dermatol 2024; 144:142-151.e5.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a key player in the pathogeneses of pressure ulcer formation. Our previous work demonstrated that inducing the transcription factor SOX2 promotes cutaneous wound healing through EGFR signaling pathway enhancement. However, its protective effect on cutaneous I/R injury was not well-characterized. We aimed to assess the role of SOX2 in cutaneous I/R injury and the tissue-protective effect of SOX2 induction in keratinocytes (KCs) in cutaneous I/R injury. SOX2 was transiently expressed in KCs after cutaneous I/R injury. Ulcer formation was significantly suppressed in KC-specific SOX2-overexpressing mice. SOX2 in skin KCs significantly suppressed the infiltrating inflammatory cells, apoptotic cells, vascular damage, and hypoxic areas in cutaneous I/R injury. Oxidative stress-induced mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokine expression were suppressed, and antioxidant stress factors and amphiregulin were elevated by SOX2 induction in skin KCs. Recombinant amphiregulin administration suppressed pressure ulcer development after cutaneous I/R injury in mice and suppressed oxidative stress-induced ROS production and apoptosis in vitro. These findings support that SOX2 in KCs might regulate cutaneous I/R injury through amphiregulin production, resulting in oxidative stress suppression. Recombinant amphiregulin can be a potential therapeutic agent for cutaneous I/R injury.

Extracellular vesicle-derived silk fibroin nanoparticles loaded with MFGE8 accelerate skin ulcer healing by targeting the vascular endothelial cells. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:455. [PMID: 38017428 PMCID: PMC10685683 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02185-7] [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: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced supplies of oxygen and nutrients caused by vascular injury lead to difficult-to-heal pressure ulcers (PU) in clinical practice. Rapid vascular repair in the skin wound is the key to the resolution of this challenge, but clinical measures are still limited. We described the beneficial effects of extracellular vesicle-derived silk fibroin nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with milk fat globule EGF factor 8 (MFGE8) on accelerating skin blood vessel and PU healing by targeting CD13 in the vascular endothelial cells (VECs). METHODS CD13, the specific targeting protein of NGR, and MFGE8, an inhibitor of ferroptosis, were detected in VECs and PU tissues. Then, NPs were synthesized via silk fibroin, and MFGE8-coated NPs (NPs@MFGE8) were assembled via loading purified protein MFGE8 produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells. Lentivirus was used to over-express MFGE8 in VECs and obtained MFGE8-engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs-MFGE8) secreted by these VECs. The inhibitory effect of EVs-MFGE8 or NPs@MFGE8 on ferroptosis was detected in vitro. The NGR peptide cross-linked with NPs@MFGE8 was assembled into NGR-NPs@MFGE8. Collagen and silk fibroin were used to synthesize the silk fibroin/collagen hydrogel. After being loaded with NGR-NPs@MFGE8, silk fibroin/collagen hydrogel sustained-release carrier was synthesized to investigate the repair effect on PU in vivo. RESULTS MFGE8 was decreased, and CD13 was increased in PU tissues. Similar to the effect of EVs-MFGE8 on inhibiting ferroptosis, NPs@MFGE8 could inhibit the mitochondrial autophagy-induced ferroptosis of VECs. Compared with the hydrogels loaded with NPs or NPs@MFGE8, the hydrogels loaded with NGR-NPs@MFGE8 consistently released NGR-NPs@MFGE8 targeting CD13 in VECs, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial autophagy and ferroptosis caused by hypoxia and accelerating wound healing effectively in rats. CONCLUSIONS The silk fibroin/collagen hydrogel sustained-release carrier loaded with NGR-NPs@MFGE8 was of great significance to use as a wound dressing to inhibit the ferroptosis of VECs by targeting CD13 in PU tissues, preventing PU formation and promoting wound healing.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is the gold-standard therapy for acute hepatic failure (AHF) with limitations related to organ shortage and life-long immunosuppressive therapy. Cell therapy emerges as a promising alternative to transplantation. We have previously shown that IL-10 and Annexin-A1 released by amniotic fluid human mesenchymal stromal cells (AF-MSCs) and their hepatocyte progenitor-like (HPL) or hepatocyte-like (HPL) cells induce liver repair and downregulate systemic inflammation in a CCl4-AHF mouse model. Herein, we demonstrate that exosomes (EXO) derived from these cells improve liver phenotype in CCl4-induced mice and promote oval cell proliferation. LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis identified MEFG-8 in EXO cargo that facilitates rescue of AHF by suppressing PI3K signaling. Administration of recombinant MFGE-8 protein also reduced liver damage in CCl4-induced mice. Clinically, MEFG-8 expression was decreased in liver biopsies from AHF patients. Collectively, our study provides proof-of-concept for an innovative, cell-free, less immunogenic, and non-toxic alternative strategy for AHF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease caused by genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, immune response, and skin barrier dysfunction. Kaempferol is a natural flavonoid widely found in tea, vegetables, and fruits and has been reported to have excellent anti-inflammation activity. However, the therapeutic effect of kaempferol on atopic dermatitis is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elucidate the effect of kaempferol on skin inflammation in atopic dermatitis. METHODS The suppressive effect of kaempferol administration on skin inflammation was examined using MC903-induced atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammation mouse model. Quantification of skin dermatitis and transepidermal water loss was performed. A histopathological study was performed to examine thymic stromal lymphopoietin expression, cornified envelope proteins such as filaggrin, loricrin, and involucrin, and the numbers of infiltrating inflammatory cells, including lymphocytes, macrophages, and mast cells in the dermatitis area. The expressions of IL-4 and IL-13 were investigated by qPCR and flow cytometry analysis using skin tissues. The expression of HO-1 was investigated by western blot and qPCR. RESULTS Kaempferol therapy significantly suppressed MC903-induced dermatitis, TEWL, TSLP, and HO-1 expression, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Kaempferol therapy improved the decreased expressions of filaggrin, loricrin, and involucrin in MC903-induced dermatitis skin site. The expressions of IL-4, and IL-13 were partially decreased in kaempferol-treated mice. CONCLUSION Kaempferol might improve MC903-induced dermatitis via suppression of type 2 inflammation and improvement of barrier dysfunction by inhibition of TSLP expression and oxidative stress. Kaempferol might have the potential to be a new treatment for atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are increasing with aging worldwide, but there is no effective causal therapy. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote cutaneous wound healing, the effects of the conditioned medium (CM) of MSCs on cutaneous PU formation induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury have been poorly investigated. To address this issue, herein, we first established an immortalized stem cell line from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). This cell line was revealed to have superior characteristics in that it grows infinitely and vigorously, and stably and consistently secretes a variety of cytokines. Using the CM obtained from the immortalized SHED cell line, we investigated the therapeutic potential on a cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion mouse model for PU formation using two magnetic plates. This is the first study to show that CM from immortalized SHEDs exerts therapeutic effects on PU formation by promoting angiogenesis and oxidative stress resistance through vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor. Thus, the CM of MSCs has potent therapeutic effects, whereas these therapies have not been implemented in human medicine. To try to meet the regulatory requirements for manufacturing and quality control as much as possible, it is necessary to produce CM that is consistently safe and effective. The immortalization of stem cells could be one of the breakthroughs to meet the regulatory requirements and consequently open up a novel avenue to create a novel type of cell-free regenerative medicine, although further investigation into the quality control is warranted.

Abstract
In response to strong signals, several types of immune cells release extracellular traps (ETs), which are web-like structures consisting of DNA decorated with various protein substances. This process is most commonly observed in neutrophils. Over the past two decades, ET formation has been recognized as a unique mechanism of host defense and pathogen destruction. However, the role of ETs in sterile inflammation has only been studied extensively in recent years. Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a type of sterile inflammatory injury. Several studies have reported that ETs have an important role in IRI in various organs. In this review, we describe the release of ETs by various types of immune cells and focus on the mechanism underlying the formation of neutrophil ETs (NETs). In addition, we summarize the role of ETs in IRI in different organs and their effects on tumors. Finally, we discuss the value of ETs as a potential therapeutic target for organ IRI and present possible challenges in conducting studies on IRI-related ETs as well as future research directions and prospects.

Abstract
Diabetes is a complex of genetic, metabolic, and autoimmune disorders that are characterized by hyperglycemia. Elevated apoptotic cell count following defective clearance of dead cells that can cause chronic inflammation is a hallmark of the diabetic wound. Effective dead cell clearance is a prerequisite for rapid inflammation resolution and successful recovery. Efferocytosis is a multistep process in which phagocytes engulf the dead cells. Cell body elimination is of great significance in disease and homeostasis. Recent research has clarified that diabetic wounds have an enhanced load of the apoptotic cell, which is partly attributed to the dysfunction of macrophages in apoptotic clearance at the site of the diabetic wounds. In the current work, we highlight the pathways implicated in efferocytosis, from the diagnosis of apoptotic cells to the phagocytic swallowing and the homeostatic resolution, and explain the possible pathophysiological episodes occurring when the proceeding is abrogated. Also, we describe the last development in the management of inflammation in diabetes wound and future directions of surveillance.

Milk fat-globule epidermal growth factor 8: A potential Regulator of Cutaneous Wound Healing. Mol Biol Rep 2022; 49:8883-8893. [PMID: 35581508 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-022-07365-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Destroying the integrity of the skin may causes disability and even death from injury or illness. Wound healing is a core mechanism to maintain skin barrier function. Milk fat-globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a key factor in wound healing and is involved in regulating blood coagulation, mediating macrophage uptake of apoptotic cells, shifting macrophages from an inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype, promoting angiogenesis, enhancing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, and assisting wound tissue perfusion. However, these abilities are dysregulated in pathological conditions, such as glucose disorders and ischemic injury. Restricted application of exogenous MFG-E8 can restore function and play a beneficial role in cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
Lactadherin is a secreted glycoprotein associated with the milk fat globule membrane, which is highly present in the blood and in the mammary tissue of lactating women. Several biological functions have been associated with this protein, mainly attributable to its immunomodulatory role promoting phagocyte-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells. It has been shown that lactadherin also plays important roles in cell adhesion, the promotion of angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. On the other hand, this protein has been used as a marker of breast cancer and tumor progression. Recently, high levels of lactadherin has been associated with poor prognosis and decreased survival, not only in breast cancer, but also in melanoma, ovarian, colorectal, and other types of cancer. Although the mechanisms responsible for the tumor-promoting effects attributed to lactadherin have not been fully elucidated, a growing body of literature indicates that lactadherin could be a promising therapeutic target and/or biomarker for breast and other tumors. Moreover, recent studies have shown its presence in extracellular vesicles derived from cancer cell lines and cancer patients, which was associated with cancer aggressiveness and worse prognosis. Thus, this review will focus on the link between lactadherin and cancer development and progression, its possible use as a cancer biomarker and/or therapeutic target, concluding with a possible role of this protein in cellular communication mediated by extracellular vesicles.

Abstract
Objective To explore the predictive value of milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) in the occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Methods We recruited 32 patients with aSAH as the case group and 24 patients with unruptured aneurysms as the control group. Serum MFG-E8 levels were measured by western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We analyzed the relationship between MFG-E8 levels and the risk of DCI. Results The levels of serum MFG-E8 in the case group (mean = 11160.9 pg/mL) were significantly higher than those in the control group (mean = 3081.0 pg/mL, p < 0.001). MFG-E8 levels highly correlated with the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and modified Fisher scores (r = -0.691 and - 0.767, respectively, p < 0.001). In addition, MFG-E8 levels in patients with DCI (5882.7 ± 3162.4 pg/mL) were notably higher than those in patients without DCI (15818.2 ± 3771.6 pg/mL, p < 0.001). A receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the occurrence of DCI could effectively be predicted by MFG-E8 (area under the curve = 0.976, 95%CI = 0.850-1.000). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a remarkable decrease in the incidence of DCI in case group individuals with high levels of MFG-E8 (≥11160.9 pg/mL, p < 0.001). Conclusion MFG-E8 may be a useful predictive marker for DCI after an aSAH and could be a promising surrogate end point.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss-of-function homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in IL36RN, which encodes interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra), has been implicated in the pathogenesis of skin disorders. However, the pathogenic role of IL-36Ra in cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We investigated the role of IL36Ra in cutaneous I/R injury. METHODS We examined I/R injury in Il36rn-/- mice. The area of wounds, numbers of infiltrated cells, apoptotic cells and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation were assessed. The expression levels of various genes were analysed using real-time RT-PCR. The expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an endogenous toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 ligand, was confirmed using immunohistology, and serum HMGB1 levels were measured by ELISA. Cytokine production by stimulated cultured J774A.1 and HaCaT cells was examined. RESULTS IL-36Ra deficiency resulted in significantly delayed wound healing and increased neutrophil and macrophage infiltration into the wound tissues. Il36rn-/- mice had increased mRNA expression levels of CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL4, TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-36γ relative to wild-type mice. Apoptosis was identified in keratinocytes by TUNEL assay. HMGB1 expression in the I/R site was decreased in both keratinocytes and adnexal cells, while serum HMGB1 levels were significantly elevated after reperfusion. The mRNA levels of various cytokines, including IL-1β, were elevated in J774A.1 cells through TLR4 signalling by HMGB1 stimulation. In addition, HaCaT cells stimulated with IL-1β showed significantly increased CXCL1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-36β and IL-36γ mRNA expression. Furthermore, NET formation was increased by IL-36Ra deficiency. Finally, either the blockade of TLR4 signalling by TAK-242 or inhibition of NET formation by Cl-amidine normalized exacerbated I/R injury in Il36rn-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that IL-36Ra deficiency exacerbates cutaneous I/R injury due to excessive inflammatory cell recruitment, NET formation, and excessive cytokine and chemokine production via the TLR4 pathway by HMGB1 released from epidermal apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We previously identified that botulinum toxin (BTX) injection suppresses pressure ulcer formation in a cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion injury mouse model by regulation of oxidative stress. However, the therapeutic possibility of BTX administration for preventing skin fibrosis in SSc is unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of BTX-B on skin fibrosis in a murine model of SSc and determine the underlying mechanism. We found that BTX-B injection significantly reduced dermal thickness and inflammatory cell infiltration in bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis lesion in mice. We also identified that the oxidative stress signal detected through bioluminescence in OKD48 mice after bleomycin injection in the skin was significantly decreased by BTX-B. Additionally, mRNA levels of oxidative stress associated factors (NOX2, HO-1, Trx2) were significantly decreased by BTX-B. Apoptotic cells in the lesional skin of bleomycin-treated mice were significantly reduced by BTX-B. Oxidant-induced intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species in SSc fibroblasts was also inhibited by BTX-B. In conclusion, BTX-B might improve bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis via the suppression of oxidative stress and inflammatory cells in the skin. BTX-B injection may have a therapeutic effect on skin fibrosis in SSc.

Abstract
The effective clearance of apoptotic cells is an essential step in the resolution of healing wounds. In particular, blood vessel regression during wound resolution produces a significant number of apoptotic endothelial cells (ApoEC) that must be cleared. In considering the fate of ApoEC and the presence of fibroblasts during wound resolution, we hypothesized that fibroblasts might serve as phagocytes involved in endothelial cell removal. The current study investigated whether dermal fibroblasts engulf ApoEC, whether this uptake alters the phenotype of dermal fibroblasts, and the biological molecules involved. In both in vitro and in vivo studies, following ApoEC engulfment, fibroblasts acquired a pro-healing phenotype (increased cell migration, contractility, α-smooth muscle actin expression, and collagen deposition). In addition, fibroblast uptake of ApoEC was shown to be mediated in part by the milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein/integrin αv β5 pathway. Our study demonstrates a novel function of fibroblasts in the clearance of ApoEC and suggests that this capability has significant implications for tissue repair and fibrosis.

Abstract
Milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a secreted glycoprotein that regulates tissue homeostasis, possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties, and protects against tissue injury. The human pancreas expresses MFG-E8; however, the role of MFG-E8 in the pancreas remains unclear. We examined the expression of MFG-E8 in the pancreas at baseline and during cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice and determined whether MFG-E8 attenuates the progression of pancreatitis, a serious inflammatory condition that can be life-threatening. We administered cerulein to wild-type (WT) and Mfge8 knockout (KO) mice to induce pancreatitis. Immunoblot analysis showed that MFG-E8 is constitutively expressed in the murine pancreas and is increased in mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. In situ hybridization revealed that ductal epithelial cells in the mouse pancreas express Mfge8 transcripts at baseline. During pancreatitis, Mfge8 transcripts were abundantly expressed in acinar cells and endothelial cells in addition to ductal epithelial cells. Knocking out Mfge8 in mice exacerbated the severity of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis and delayed its resolution. In contrast, administration of recombinant MFG-E8 attenuated cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis and promoted repair of pancreatic injury in Mfge8 KO mice. Taken together, our study suggests that MFG-E8 protects the pancreas against inflammatory injury and promotes pancreatic tissue repair. MFG-E8 may represent a novel therapeutic target in acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a multifactorial disease arises from a complex interaction of genetics, immune system, and environmental aspects. IL-23/Th17 immune axis has been considered as a primary modulator in psoriasis. In addition, several findings imply that nervous system may take a part in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, suggesting that nervous system, through its neuropeptide, may interact with immune system and lead to the formation of psoriasis. OBJECTIVE We aimed to ascertain the role of neuropeptides secreted from neurons in the pathogenesis of psoriasis in vivo. METHODS The release of neuropeptide was inhibited by injecting Botulinum toxin B (BTX-B) on Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis mice model. Quantification of skin dermatitis, infiltrating inflammatory cells, and the production of cytokines at the lesional skin area were performed by PSI score, immunostaining, and real-time PCR. We also tested the effect of selective CGRP antagonist (CGRP8-37) on psoriasis-like dermatitis in IMQ-treated mice. RESULTS BTX-B injection significantly suppressed PSI score and reduced the number of CD4+ T cells, CD11c+ dendritic cells, and the production of IL-17A/F in the lesional skin. The expressions of PGP9.5+ nerve fibers and neuropeptides (SP, CGRP) were also significantly reduced following BTX-B injection. Additionally, CGRP antagonist also suppressed the development of IMQ-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis in mice. CONCLUSION The suppression of neuropeptide secretion in the skin by BTX injection might inhibit nerve elongation, the infiltration of immune cells, as well as IL-17 production, resulting in the improvement of psoriasis. Neuropeptide inhibitor could also be applied to the treatment of psoriasis.

MFG-E8 accelerates wound healing in diabetes by regulating "NLRP3 inflammasome-neutrophil extracellular traps" axis. Cell Death Discov 2020; 6:84. [PMID: 32963812 PMCID: PMC7484765 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-020-00318-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Sustained activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) impair wound healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Our previous study reported that milk fat globule epidermal growth factor VIII (MFG-E8) attenuates tissue damage in systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the functional effect of MFG-E8 on "NLRP3 inflammasome-NETs" inflammatory loop in wound healing of diabetes is not completely elucidated. In this study, neutrophils from DFU patients are susceptible to undergo NETosis, releasing more NETs. The circulating levels of NET components neutrophil elastase and proteinase 3 and inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly elevated in DFU patients compared with healthy controls or diabetic patients, in spite of higher levels of MFG-E8 in DFU patients. In Mfge8-/- diabetic mice, skin wound displayed exaggerated inflammatory response, including leukocyte infiltration, excessive activation of NLRP3 inflammasome (release of higher IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α), largely lodged NETs, resulting in poor angiogenesis and wound closure. When stimulated with high-dose glucose or IL-18, MFG-E8-deficient neutrophils release more NETs than WT neutrophils. After administration of recombinant MFG-E8, IL-18-primed NETosis of WT or Mfge8-/- neutrophils was significantly inhibited. Furthermore, NET and mCRAMP (component of NETs, the murine equivalent of cathelicidin LL-37 in human)-mediated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and production of IL-1β/IL-18 were significantly elevated in Mfge8-/- macrophages compared with WT macrophages, which were also significantly dampened by the administration of rmMFG-E8. Therefore, our study demonstrated that as inhibitor of the "NLRP3 inflammasome-NETs" inflammatory loop, exogenous rMFG-E8 improves angiogenesis and accelerates wound healing, highlighting possible therapeutic potential for DFUs.

Apelin/APJ signaling suppresses the pressure ulcer formation in cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion injury mouse model. Sci Rep 2020; 10:1349.

Abstract
Several studies have demonstrated potential roles for apelin/APJ signaling in the regulation of oxidative stress associated with ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in several organs. Objective was to assess the role of apelin/APJ signaling in the development of pressure ulcers (PUs) formation after cutaneous I/R injury in mice. We identified that cutaneous I/R injury increased the expression of apelin in the skin at I/R site. Administration of apelin significantly inhibited the formation of PUs. The reductions of blood vessels, hypoxic area and apoptosis in I/R site were inhibited by apelin injection. Oxidative stress signals in OKD48 mice and the expressions of oxidative stress related genes in the skin were suppressed by apelin injection. H2O2-induced intracellular ROS and apoptosis in endothelial cells and fibroblasts were suppressed by apelin in vitro. Furthermore, MM07, biased agonist of APJ, also significantly suppressed the development of PUs after cutaneous I/R, and the inhibitory effect of MM07 on PUs formation was higher than that in apelin. We conclude that apelin/APJ signaling may inhibit cutaneous I/R injury-induced PUs formation by protecting the reduction of vascularity and tissue damage via suppression of oxidative stress. Exogenous application of apelin or MM07 might have therapeutic potentials against the development of PUs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that MFG-E8 enhances tumor cell survival, invasion and angiogenesis. However, the role of MFG-E8 in angiosarcoma (AS) has not been clarified. OBJECTIVE Objective was to elucidate the mechanism of the regulation by MFG-E8 in AS and the association between MFG-E8 and clinicopathological features of AS. METHODS The effects of the depletion of MFG-E8 by siRNA on tube formation, migration and proliferation in murine AS cells were examined. The effect of administration of anti-MFG-E8 antibody (Ab) on tumor growth of AS in mice was examined. The associations of MFG-E8 expression and clinicopathological features of human AS were assessed. RESULTS The expressions of MFG-E8 in murine and human AS cells were significantly higher than those in melanoma cells, macrophages and endothelial cells. Depletion of MFG-E8 in murine AS cells by siRNA significantly inhibited the formation of capillary-like structures and migration, but not proliferation. Administration of anti-MFG-E8 Ab significantly inhibited tumor growth and decreased the number of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in AS tumors. Tumor size and the number of TAMs in human AS with high expression of MFG-E8 were significantly increased compared to those of AS with low expression of MFG-E8. Progression-free survival and overall survival time of the patients of AS with high expression of MFG-E8 were significantly shorter than those of AS with low expression of MFG-E8. CONCLUSIONS AS-derived MFG-E8 might enhance tumor growth via angiogenesis and the induction of TAMs in autocrine/paracrine manner, and administration of anti-MFG-E8 Ab could be a therapeutic potential for AS.

Zinc deficiency exacerbates pressure ulcers by increasing oxidative stress and ATP in the skin. J Dermatol Sci 2019; 95:62-69.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zinc deficiency is believed to be a predisposing factor for the development and intractable healing of pressure ulcers (PUs); however, the mechanisms of this association have not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE Objective was to elucidate the mechanisms of the formation of severe and prolonged PUs under the zinc deficiency condition. METHODS We assessed PUs formation after cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice fed with a zinc-adequate (ZA) or a zinc-deficient (ZD) diet from 2 weeks before I/R injury. Wound size, vascular damage, apoptotic cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) amount, and the number of Langerhans cells (LCs) in I/R area were analyzed. We evaluated the extent of oxidative stress in I/R area in OKD48 mice through bioluminescence detection. RESULTS We found that dietary zinc deficiency caused the formation of severe and prolonged PUs in mice. Zinc deficiency increased the vascular disorder, oxidative stress, and apoptosis induced by cutaneous I/R injury. I/R injury-induced oxidative stress signals were significantly higher in ZD OKD48 mice than in ZA OKD48 mice. Additionally, zinc deficiency reduced the number of LCs and increased the amount of ATP in cutaneous I/R-injured skin. Oral supplementation of zinc improved zinc deficiency-associated PUs. CONCLUSION Zinc deficiency might increase cutaneous I/R injury-induced vascular damages, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, as well as ATP amount in I/R area due to the loss of LCs. These mechanisms might partly account for zinc deficiency-induced formation of severe and prolonged PUs. Oral supplementation of zinc might be a reasonable therapeutic choice for patients with PUs and zinc deficiency.

Abstract
Cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the most crucial problems in flap surgery, which affects the survival of the skin flap and patient prognosis, luteolin, a plant derived flavonoid, has previously been shown to exert a variety of beneficial effects for reducing I/R injury in several organs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects of luteolin on cutaneous I/R injury. The in vitro study were performed using a permanent human immortalized epidermal keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT), cells were cultured in the presence of luteolin and were then treated with hydrogen peroxide, the cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential and the cell survival/apoptosis related signaling pathway activation were assessed to investigate the cytoprotective effects of luteolin. For in vivo experiments, skin flap I/R injury animal model was established in Sprague-Dawley rats, by measuring the area of flap survival, analyzing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine and evaluation of the histological changes in the skin tissue, the protective effects of luteolin on skin I/R injury were investigated. The function of protein kinase B (AKT) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) activation on luteolin mediated I/R injury protection was assessed by administration of phosphoinositide-3-kinase/AKT inhibitor LY294002 and HO-1 inhibitor ZNPP. The results showed that luteolin treatment significantly increased the viability of HaCaT cells upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, and the administration of luteolin in vivo significantly improved skin flap survival in the I/R injury rat model. The mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects included increased phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein kinase B activation, improved expression of antioxidant enzyme, and scavenging the cytotoxic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Taken together, the results suggested that luteolin preconditioning yielded significant protection against cutaneous I/R injury by protecting skin keratinocytes from ROS-induced damage.

Abstract
Sodium salt of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Derinat, isolated from the soft roes of Russian sturgeon, has been utilized as an immunomodulator for the treatment of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated diseases in clinics. Here we show that treatment with Derinat has an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects on cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in pressure ulcer (PU) model mice. Dorsal skin damage and dermal edema in mild PU model mice were attenuated by treatment with Derinat. Immunohistochemical and biochemical analyses showed that Derinat suppressed IR-induced oxidative damage, i.e. accumulation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and related inflammatory factors such as cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) in dorsal skin from PU model mice. We also verified that phospholyated/non-phosphorylated ratio of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) increased after IR, which were attenuated by Derinat. We then compared the effect of Derinat with that of salmon DNA and other PU therapeutic agents, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), by using severe PU model mice. The effects of Derinat and salmon-DNA were compatible with those of PGE1 and bFGF. These results suggest that Derinat other fish-derived DNA formulation could be effective enough and become intriguing new therapeutic options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously identified that botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) suppressed pressure ulcer (PU) formation after cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, regulation of cutaneous I/R-induced oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by BTX-B was not investigated. Additionally, the efficacy of BTX-B injection has never been examined. OBJECTIVE Objective was to assess the effects of BTX-B on the formation of PU by cutaneous I/R injury, and the regulation of oxidative and ER stress in I/R injury by BTX-B. METHODS BTX-B was subcutaneously injected into I/R area, and wound size, vascular damage, hypoxic area, and apoptotic cells in I/R area were analyzed. We evaluated the extent of oxidative and ER stress in I/R area by using OKD48 mice and ERAI mice, respectively, which enabled evaluating oxidative and ER stress through bioluminescence detection. RESULTS BTX-B injection significantly suppressed the formation of PU by cutaneous I/R injury. Cutaneous I/R-induced vascular damage, hypoxic area, and number of oxidative-damaged cells and apoptotic cells were suppressed by BTX-B injection. BTX-B administration significantly inhibited I/R-induced oxidative stress signal in OKD48 mice. BTX-B reduced the I/R-induced oxidative stress-associated factors. BTX-B significantly inhibited the oxidant-induced reactive oxygen species and apoptosis of endothelial cells and fibroblasts. BTX-B significantly inhibited I/R-induced ER stress signal in ERAI mice. Cutaneous I/R injury-induced ER stress-response factors and GRP78/BiP and CHOP-positive cells in I/R area were significantly decreased by BTX-B injection. CONCLUSION BTX-B injection might have protective effects against PU formation after cutaneous I/R injury by reducing vascular damage, hypoxia-induced oxidative and ER stress, and apoptosis.

Recombinant milk fat globule-EGF factor-8 reduces apoptosis via integrin β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in rats after traumatic brain injury. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:845. [PMID: 30154436 PMCID: PMC6113274 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0939-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2018] [Revised: 07/08/2018] [Accepted: 07/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests neuronal apoptosis has the potential to lead to more harmful effects in the pathological processes following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies have established that milk fat globule-EGF factor-8 (MFG-E8) provides neuroprotection through modulation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and especially apoptosis in cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative disease. However, the effects of MFG-E8 on neuronal apoptosis in TBI have not yet been investigated. Therefore, we explored the role of MFG-E8 on anti-apoptosis and its potential mechanism following TBI. In the first set of experiments, adult male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into Sham and TBI groups that were each further divided into five groups representing different time points (6 h, 24 h, 72 h, and 7 days) (n = 9 each). Western blotting, quantitative real-time PCR, and immunofluorescence staining were performed to identify the expression and cellular localization of MFG-E8. In the second set of experiments, four groups were randomly assigned: Sham group, TBI + Vehicle group, and TBI + rhMFG-E8 (1 and 3 µg) (n = 15). Recombinant human MFGE8 (rhMFG-E8) was administrated as two concentrations through intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection at 1 h after TBI induction. Brain water content, neurological severity score, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were measured at 24 and 72 h following TBI. In the final set of experiments, MFG-E8 siRNA (500 pmol/3 µl), integrin β3 siRNA (500 pmol/3 µl), and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (5 and 20 µM) were injected i.c.v. and thereafter rats exposed to TBI. Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, brain water content, neurological severity score, and Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining were used to investigate the effect of the integrin-β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway on MFG-E8-mediated anti-apoptosis after TBI. The expression of MFG-E8 was mainly located in microglial cells and increased to peak at 24 h after TBI. Treatment with rhMFG-E8 (3 µg) markedly decreased brain water content, improved neurological deficits, and reduced neuronal apoptosis at 24 and 72 h after TBI. rhMFG-E8 significantly enhanced the expression of integrin-β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT pathway-related components. Administration of integrin-β3 siRNA and LY294002 (5 and 20 µM) abolished the effect of rhMFG-E8 on anti-apoptosis and neuroprotection after TBI. This study demonstrated for the first time that rhMFG-E8 inhibits neuronal apoptosis and offers neuroprotection. This is suggested to occur through the modulation of the integrin-β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, highlighting rhMFG-E8 as a potentially promising therapeutic strategy for TBI patients.

Abstract
Pressure ulcer formation depends on various factors among which repetitive ischaemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury plays a vital role. Molecular hydrogen (H2) was reported to have protective effects on I/R injuries of various internal organs. In this study, we investigated the effects of H2 inhalation on pressure ulcer and the underlying mechanisms. H2 inhalation significantly reduced wound area, 8‐oxo‐dG level (oxidative DNA damage) and cell apoptosis rates in skin lesions. H2 remarkably decreased ROS accumulation and enhanced antioxidant enzymes activities by up‐regulating expression of Nrf2 and its downstream components in wound tissue and/or H2O2‐treated endothelia. Meanwhile, H2 inhibited the overexpression of MCP‐1, E‐selectin, P‐selectin and ICAM‐1 in oxidant‐induced endothelia and reduced inflammatory cells infiltration and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF‐α, IL‐1, IL‐6 and IL‐8) production in the wound. Furthermore, H2 promoted the expression of pro‐healing factors (IL‐22, TGF‐β, VEGF and IGF1) and inhibited the production of MMP9 in wound tissue in parallel with acceleration of cutaneous collagen synthesis. Taken together, these data indicated that H2 inhalation suppressed the formation of pressure ulcer in a mouse model. Molecular hydrogen has potentials as a novel and alternative therapy for severe pressure ulcer. The therapeutic effects of molecular hydrogen might be related to its antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, pro‐healing actions.

Abstract
Cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with the early pathogenesis of cutaneous pressure ulcers (PUs). The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) injection on the formation of PUs after I/R injury and determine the underlying mechanisms. We found that the subcutaneous injection of MSCs into areas of I/R injured skin significantly suppressed the formation of PUs. I/R-induced vascular damage, hypoxia, oxidative DNA damage, and apoptosis were decreased by MSCs injection. Oxidative stress signals detected after I/R in OKD48 (Keap1-dependent oxidative stress detector, No-48-luciferase) mice were decreased by the injection of MSCs. In cultured fibroblasts, MSCs-conditioned medium significantly inhibited oxidant-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis. Furthermore, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signals detected after I/R in ERAI (ER stress-activated indicator) mice were also decreased by the injection of MSCs. These results suggest that the injection of MSCs might protect against the development of PUs after cutaneous I/R injury by reducing vascular damage, oxidative cellular damage, oxidative stress, ER stress, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Human milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8), also known as lactadherin, is a secreted glycoprotein that plays essential roles in the clearance of apoptotic cells and angiogenesis. It has been reported that serum MFG-E8 levels are higher in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients compared with in healthy controls; however, a previous study reported no correlation between serum MFG-E8 levels and SLE disease activity. The objective of this study was to assess serum MFG-E8 levels and their clinical associations in patients with SLE. Serum MFG-E8 levels in 49 Japanese patients with SLE, eight with cutaneous LE, and 28 healthy controls were examined. Serum MFG-E8 levels in SLE patients were significantly higher than those in cutaneous LE patients and healthy individuals. In addition, serum MFG-E8 levels were positively correlated with the SLE Disease Activity Index score, which reflects the disease activity of SLE. Notably, the frequency of the presence of high-intensity cerebral lesions on MRI in the SLE patients with elevated serum MFG-E8 levels was significantly higher than that in SLE patients with normal serum MFG-E8 levels. These findings suggest that elevated serum MFG-E8 levels may be associated with cerebrovascular diseases or neuropsychiatric SLE in patients with SLE, and that the measurement of serum MFG-E8 levels in SLE patients is useful for risk stratification of cerebrovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease-related neuropsychiatric SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic wounds are intractable due to complex factors, such as the inhibition of angiogenesis, dysfunction of phagocytosis by macrophages and abnormal inflammatory responses. It is recognized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote wound healing in diabetic mice. We previously demonstrated that MSCs produce large amounts of MFG-E8. OBJECT The objective was to ascertain the role of MSCs-derived MFG-E8 in murine diabetic wounds. METHODS MFG-E8 WT/KO MSCs or rMFG-E8 were subcutaneously injected around the wound in diabetic db/db mice, and wound areas were analyzed. Quantification of angiogenesis, infiltrating inflammatory cells, apoptotic cells at the wound area was performed by immunofluorescence staining and real-time PCR. Phagocytosis assay was performed using peritoneal macrophages from WT or db/db mice. RESULTS MFG-E8 expression in granulation tissue in diabetic mice was significantly reduced compared with that in non-diabetic mice. We next examined the effect of subcutaneous injection of MFG-E8 WT/KO MSCs around the wound. Diabetic wound healing was significantly accelerated by the injection of MSCs. Diabetic wound healing in MFG-E8 KO MSCs-injected wounds was significantly delayed compared to that in WT MSCs-injected wounds. The numbers of CD31+ EC and NG2+ pericytes, as well as M2 macrophages in wounds in KO MSCs-injected mice were significantly decreased. MFG-E8 WT MSCs treatment suppressed the number of apoptotic cells and TNF-α+ cells in wounds. In an in vitro assay, MFG-E8 WT MSCs-conditioned medium enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by peritoneal macrophages from diabetic mice. CONCLUSION MSCs-derived MFG-E8 might accelerate diabetic wound healing by promoting angiogenesis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, and the infiltration of M2 macrophages, and by suppressing inflammatory cytokines in wound area.

Abstract
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a leading cause of surgical skin flap compromise and organ dysfunction. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an abundant reserve of various growth factors. Activated platelets play a role in endothelial damage during I/R injury; however, exogenous PRP could inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of PRP on I/R injury. Methods: Four groups (n=30) of C57BL/6N mice with lateral thoracic artery island flaps were used. Group A, the control group, received flap elevation and repositioning. Group B received PRP and repositioning. Group C had 4 hours of ischemia and then were reperfused. Group D received PRP, had 4 hours of ischemia, and then were reperfused. The survival area of flap tissue and blood perfusion were assessed. Histological evaluation included neutrophil counts. Reactive oxygen species and proinflammatory cytokines were measured to evaluate I/R injury. Protein expression of phosphorylated apoptosis signaling regulating kinase-1 (pASK-1), p38MAPK, and pNF-κB was measured by western blot. Results: PRP treatment enhanced the survival area and perfusion of the flap, reduced neutrophil accumulation in mice subjected to I/R injury. PRP treatment also showed a protective effect, with decreases in nitric oxide, myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde concentrations. Additionally, PRP suppresses monocyte chemotactic protein-1, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Finally, PRP decreased ASK-1 and NF-κB expression in tissues with I/R injury. Conclusion: PRP acts as a protective factor during flap I/R injury by reducing reactive oxygen species level and proinflammatory cytokines via decreased expression of pASK-1 and pNF-κB.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are bone marrow-derived non-hematopoietic progenitor cells. MSCs are able to differentiate into various types of cells, including chondrocytes, adipocytes, osteocytes, myocytes, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes. There is increasing evidence that MSCs might be located external to the vasculature, and that perivascular cells in the skin, generally called as "pericytes", might include MSCs. It has been suggested that MSCs localized around blood vessels might migrate into wounds and contribute to the restoration of injured tissues. Many studies have demonstrated that intravenous or intradermal administration of MSCs enhanced cutaneous wound healing, such as acute incisional and excisional wounds, diabetic ulcers, radiation ulcers, and burns in animals and humans. Several mechanisms of the acceleration of wound healing by MSCs have been identified, including the enhancement of angiogenesis by secretion of pro-angiogenic factors and the differentiation into endothelial cells and/or pericytes, M2 macrophages polarization, the recruitment of endogenous stem/progenitor cells, extracellular matrix production and remodeling, and immunosuppressive effects. Since the microenvironments of wounds and/or injured tissues are similar to those of tumors, MSCs also play similar roles in malignant tumors, such as the enhancement of angiogenesis, M2 macrophages polarization, and immunosuppressive effects. In addition, the mechanisms of homing of MSCs might have a commonality in the pathogenesis of wound healing and tumors. Thus, the regulating factors of MSCs, including MFG-E8, could be a therapeutic target and lead to the establishment of new therapeutic approaches for both intractable wound healing and tumors.

Abstract
Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a glycoprotein that is abundantly expressed in various tissues and has a pivotal role in the phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells. However, MFG-E8 has also gained significant attention because of its wide range of functions in autoimmunity, inflammation and tissue homeostasis. More recently, MFG-E8 has been identified as a critical regulator of bone homeostasis, being expressed in both, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In addition, it was shown that MFG-E8 fulfils an active role in modulating inflammatory processes, suggesting an anti-inflammatory role of MFG-E8 and proposing it as a novel therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases. This concise review focusses on the expression and regulation of MFG-E8 in the context of inflammatory bone diseases, highlights its role in the pathophysiology of osteoimmune diseases and discusses the therapeutic potential of MFG-E8.

MFG-E8 Drives Melanoma Growth by Stimulating Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Induced Angiogenesis and M2 Polarization of Tumor-Associated Macrophages. Cancer Res 2016; 76:4283-92.

Abstract
Secretion of the powerful angiogenic factor MFG-E8 by pericytes can bypass the therapeutic effects of anti-VEGF therapy, but the mechanisms by which MFG-E8 acts are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated how this factor acts to promote the growth of melanomas that express it. We found that mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) expressed a substantial amount of MFG-E8. To assess its expression from this cell type, we implanted melanoma cells and MSC derived from wild type (WT) or MFG-E8 deficient [knockout (KO)] into mice and monitored tumor growth. Tumor growth and M2 macrophages were each attenuated in subjects coimplanted with KO-MSC compared with WT-MSC. In both xenograft tumors and clinical specimens of melanoma, we found that MFG-E8 expression was heightened near blood vessels where MSC could be found. Through in vitro assays, we confirmed that WT-MSC-conditioned medium was more potent at inducing M2 macrophage polarization, compared with KO-MSC-conditioned medium. VEGF and ET-1 expression in KO-MSC was significantly lower than in WT-MSC, correlating in vivo with reduced tumor growth and numbers of pericytes and M2 macrophages within tumors. Overall, our results suggested that MFG-E8 acts at two levels, by increasing VEGF and ET-1 expression in MSC and by enhancing M2 polarization of macrophages, to increase tumor angiogenesis.

The evolving roles of pericyte in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain Res 2015; 1623:110-22. [PMID: 25982598 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2015.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2014] [Revised: 05/02/2015] [Accepted: 05/04/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Despite accumulated understanding on the mechanisms of early brain injury and improved management of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), it is still one of the serious and refractory health problems around the world. Traditionally, pericyte, served as capillary contraction handler, is recently considered as the main participant of microcirculation regulation in SAH pathophysiology. However, accumulate evidences indicate that pericyte is much more than we already know. Therefore, we briefly review the characteristics, regulation pathways and functions of pericyte, aim to summarize the evolving new pathophysiological roles of pericyte that are implicated in early brain injury after SAH and to improve our understanding in order to explore potential novel therapeutic options for patients with SAH. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled SI: Cell Interactions In Stroke.
