Systemically administered wound-homing peptide accelerates wound healing by modulating syndecan-4 function. Nat Commun 2023; 14:8069. [PMID: 38057316 PMCID: PMC10700342 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-43848-1] [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: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
CAR (CARSKNKDC) is a wound-homing peptide that recognises angiogenic neovessels. Here we discover that systemically administered CAR peptide has inherent ability to promote wound healing: wounds close and re-epithelialise faster in CAR-treated male mice. CAR promotes keratinocyte migration in vitro. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 regulates cell migration and is crucial for wound healing. We report that syndecan-4 expression is restricted to epidermis and blood vessels in mice skin wounds. Syndecan-4 regulates binding and internalisation of CAR peptide and CAR-mediated cytoskeletal remodelling. CAR induces syndecan-4-dependent activation of the small GTPase ARF6, via the guanine nucleotide exchange factor cytohesin-2, and promotes syndecan-4-, ARF6- and Cytohesin-2-mediated keratinocyte migration. Finally, we show that genetic ablation of syndecan-4 in male mice eliminates CAR-induced wound re-epithelialisation following systemic administration. We propose that CAR peptide activates syndecan-4 functions to selectively promote re-epithelialisation. Thus, CAR peptide provides a therapeutic approach to enhance wound healing in mice; systemic, yet target organ- and cell-specific.

A feedback loop between lamellipodial extension and HGF-ERK signaling specifies leader cells during collective cell migration. Dev Cell 2022; 57:2290-2304.e7. [PMID: 36174555 DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2022.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Upon the initiation of collective cell migration, the cells at the free edge are specified as leader cells; however, the mechanism underlying the leader cell specification remains elusive. Here, we show that lamellipodial extension after the release from mechanical confinement causes sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation and underlies the leader cell specification. Live-imaging of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and mouse epidermis through the use of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors showed that leader cells exhibit sustained ERK activation in a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-dependent manner. Meanwhile, follower cells exhibit oscillatory ERK activation waves in an epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling-dependent manner. Lamellipodial extension at the free edge increases the cellular sensitivity to HGF. The HGF-dependent ERK activation, in turn, promotes lamellipodial extension, thereby forming a positive feedback loop between cell extension and ERK activation and specifying the cells at the free edge as the leader cells. Our findings show that the integration of physical and biochemical cues underlies the leader cell specification during collective cell migration.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is expressed in various organs and involved in the fundamental cellular functions such as mitogenic, motogenic, and morphogenic activities. Induction of HGF may be therapeutically useful for controlling organ regeneration, wound healing, and embryogenesis. In this study, we examined the stimulation effect of cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G), an anthocyanidin derivative, on HGF production in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and the underlying mechanisms. C3G induced HGF production at both mRNA and protein levels in NHDF cells and enhanced the phosphorylation of cAMP-response element-binding protein. We also observed that treatment with C3G increased intracellular cAMP level and promoter activity of cAMP-response element in HEK293 cells expressing β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR). In contrast, cyanidin, an aglycon of C3G, did not show the activation of β2AR signaling and HGF production. These results indicate that C3G behaves as an agonist for β2AR signaling to activate the protein kinase A pathway and induce the production of HGF.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been implicated in inhibiting diverse types of inflammation. Oral traumatic ulceration (OTU) is a common disease of the oral mucosa, and inflammation is
the main process for ulcer healing. This study aimed to explore the expression of HGF in oral ulcers and its role in ulcer inflammation. The saliva of 14 recurrent alphous stomatitis (RAS)
patients, 18 OTU patients and 17 healthy controls was collected. Traumatic ulcers of the left mucosa were observed in 42 wild-type (WT) and 42 HGF-overexpressing transgenic (HGF-Tg) mice.
Histological scores, inflammatory cell expression and serum cytokine expression were measured and analyzed on the 5th day. The HGF protein level in ulcer-affected human saliva was 9.3-fold
higher than that in healthy saliva. The HGF protein levels in RAS and OTU saliva were 14- and 5.7-fold higher, respectively, than those in healthy saliva. Traumatic ulcers enhanced HGF
expression in ulcer-affected oral mucosa and in the blood of C57BL/6 mice by 1.21- and 1.40-fold, respectively. In HGF-Tg mouse traumatic ulcers, HGF expression was 1.34-fold higher than
that in wild-type mice. HGF-Tg mice had lower weight loss, less ulcer area and lower histopathology scores than WT mice. The results from immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and serum
cytokine analysis showed that HGF-Tg animals presented fewer Ly6G-positive neutrophils and higher levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines. HGF overexpression alleviated weight loss,
ulcer area and inflammation, suggesting the role of HGF in promoting the healing of oral ulcers.

Assessment of Arf6 Deletion in PLB-985 Differentiated in Neutrophil-Like Cells and in Mouse Neutrophils: Impact on Adhesion and Migration. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:2713074.

Abstract
Chemoattractant sensing, adhesiveness, and migration are critical events underlying the recruitment of neutrophils (PMNs) to sites of inflammation or infection. Defects in leukocyte adhesion or migration result in immunodeficiency disorders characterized by recurrent infections. In this study, we evaluated the role of Arf6 on PMN adhesion in vitro and on migration to inflammatory sites using PMN-Arf6 conditional knockout (cKO) mice. In PMN-like PLB-985 silenced for Arf6 fMLP-mediated adhesion to the β2 integrin ligands, ICAM-1 and fibrinogen or the β1/β2 integrin ligand fibronectin was significantly reduced. Furthermore, overexpression of wild-type Arf6 promoted basal and fMLP-induced adhesion to immobilized integrin ligands, while overexpression of the dominant-negative Arf6 has the opposite effects. Using the Elane-Cre deleting mouse strains, we report that the level of Arf6 deletion in inflammatory PMNs isolated from the dorsal air pouches was stronger when compared to naïve cells isolated from the bone marrow. In PMN-Arf6 cKO mice, the recruitment of PMNs into the dorsal air pouch injected with LPS or the chemoattractant fMLP was significantly diminished. Impaired cell migration correlated with reduced cell surface expression of CD11a and CD11b in Arf6 cKO PMNs. Our results highlight that Arf6 regulates the activity and possibly the recycling of PMN integrins, and this compromises PMN migration to inflammatory sites.

Abstract
The ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) is a small GTPase that regulates endocytic recycling processes in concert with various effectors. Arf6 controls cytoskeletal organization and membrane trafficking; however, the detailed mechanisms of regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we report that Arf6 forms a complex with RhoB. The interaction between RhoB and Arf6 is mediated by the GCI (glycine, cysteine, and isoleucine) residues (188-190) of RhoB. Specific targeting of Arf6 to plasma membrane or mitochondrial membranes promotes recruitment and colocalization of RhoB to these membrane microdomains. Arf6 depletion promotes the loss of RhoB from endosomal membranes and leads to RhoB degradation through an endolysosomal pathway. This results in defective actin and focal adhesion dynamics and increased 3D cell migration upon activation of the Met receptor tyrosine kinase. Our findings identify a novel regulatory mechanism for RhoB localization and stability by Arf6 and establish the strict requirement of Arf6 for RhoB-specific subcellular targeting to endosomes and biological functions.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/ mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) signaling is involved in complex cellular programs that are important for embryonic development and tissue regeneration, but its activity is also utilized by cancer cells during tumor progression. HGF and c-MET usually mediate heterotypic cell–cell interactions, such as epithelial–mesenchymal, including tumor–stroma interactions. In the skin, dermal fibroblasts are the main source of HGF. The presence of c-MET on keratinocytes is crucial for wound healing in the skin. HGF is not released by normal melanocytes, but as melanocytes express c-MET, they are receptive to HGF, which protects them from apoptosis and stimulates their proliferation and motility. Dissimilar to melanocytes, melanoma cells not only express c-MET, but also release HGF, thus activating c-MET in an autocrine manner. Stimulation of the HGF/c-MET pathways contributes to several processes that are crucial for melanoma development, such as proliferation, survival, motility, and invasiveness, including distant metastatic niche formation. HGF might be a factor in the innate and acquired resistance of melanoma to oncoprotein-targeted drugs. It is not entirely clear whether elevated serum HGF level is associated with low progression-free survival and overall survival after treatment with targeted therapies. This review focuses on the role of HGF/c-MET signaling in melanoma with some introductory information on its function in skin and melanocytes.

Abstract
Langerhans cells (LCs), the epidermal dendritic cell (DC) subset, express the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor Met also known as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor. HGF is the exclusive ligand of Met and upon binding executes mitogenic, morphogenic, and motogenic activities to various cells. HGF exerts anti-inflammatory activities via Met signaling and was found to regulate various functions of immune cells, including differentiation and maturation, cytokine production, cellular migration and adhesion, and T cell effector function. It has only recently become evident that a number of HGF-regulated functions in inflammatory processes and immune responses are imparted via DCs. However, the mechanisms by which Met signaling in DCs conveys its immunoregulatory effects have not yet been fully understood. In this review, we focus on the current knowledge of Met signaling in DCs with particular attention on the morphogenic and motogenic activities. Met signaling was shown to promote DC mobility by regulating matrix metalloproteinase activities and adhesion. This is a striking resemblance to the role of Met in regulating a cell fate program during embryonic development, wound healing, and in tumor invasion known as epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Hence, we propose the concept that an EMT program is executed by Met signaling in LCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the optimum conditions for preparing poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles and evaluate the bioactivity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles. METHODS Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles were prepared using a double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The preparation process of nanoparticles was optimized by orthogonal test with the particle size, encapsulation efficiency (EE), drug loading (DD), and recovery as the indexes. HGF-loaded nanoparticles were then prepared under the optimized conditions. The EE, DD and release characteristics of BSA?loaded nanoparticles and HGF-loaded nanoparticles were evaluated using a BCA kit and HGF ELISA kit. The bioactivity of HGF-loaded nanoparticles was evaluated using CCK8 proliferation assay. RESULTS The HGF-loaded nanoparticles prepared under the optimized conditions had a uniform size with a mean diameter of 234.4∓4.8 nm, an EE of (77.75∓3.04)% and a recovery rate of (49.33∓9.34)%. The in vitro release curve highlighted an initial burst drug release followed by sustained release from the nanoparticles. HGF-loaded nanoparticles obviously promoted the proliferation of Hacat keratinocytes in vitro. CONCLUSION HGF-loaded nanoparticles prepared using double emulsion?solvent evaporation method under optimized conditions possesses a high EE with a good sustained drug release profile and a good bioactivity.

The preparation process of nanoparticles was optimized by orthogonal test with the particle size, encapsulation efficiency (EE), drug loading (DD), and recovery as the indexes. HGF-loaded nanoparticles were then prepared under the optimized conditions. The EE, DD and release characteristics of BSA?loaded nanoparticles and HGF-loaded nanoparticles were evaluated using a BCA kit and HGF ELISA kit. The bioactivity of HGF-loaded nanoparticles was evaluated using CCK8 proliferation assay. RESULTS The HGF-loaded nanoparticles prepared under the optimized conditions had a uniform size with a mean diameter of 234.4∓4.8 nm, an EE of (77.75∓3.04)% and a recovery rate of (49.33∓9.34)%. The in vitro release curve highlighted an initial burst drug release followed by sustained release from the nanoparticles. HGF-loaded nanoparticles obviously promoted the proliferation of Hacat keratinocytes in vitro. CONCLUSION HGF-loaded nanoparticles prepared using double emulsion?solvent evaporation method under optimized conditions possesses a high EE with a good sustained drug release profile and a good bioactivity.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) optimizes oral traumatic ulcer healing of mice by reducing inflammation. Cytokine 2017; 99:275-280. [PMID: 28830652 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2017.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2017] [Revised: 08/01/2017] [Accepted: 08/08/2017] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of overexpression HGF on the healing of traumatic ulcer of oral mucosa of mice. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mice were divided into two groups: wild type C57BL6(WT) and HGF high expression transgenic (HGF-Tg) mice. Traumatic ulcer of all mice were made by number 15 scalpel blade. Mice were sacrificed after 5days and the inflammation score and expression of TNFα, IFNγ, c-Met, apoptosis (TUNEL) and 40 serum inflammation cytokines were estimated. RESULTS HGF-Tg mice presented a lower inflammation score (p=0.011), Serum TNFα expression in HGF-Tg ulcers is 1.3 times than WT ulcer and the difference is statistical significance (t test, p=0.003). Serum c-Met protein in HGF-Tg mice were significantly higher than WT mice (t test, p=0.004). No statistical difference was observed in the serum IFNγ between WT ulcer and HGF-Tg ulcer (t test, p=0.268). TNFα positive cytoplasm expression cells in connective tissue of HGF-Tg mice is significantly lower than that of WT group (t test, p=0.029). C-Met positive cytoplasm expression cells in both epithelium and connective tissue of HGF-Tg group is significantly higher than that of WT group (t test, p=0.040, p=0.000). Samples in HGF-Tg group showed a lower number of positive cells of epithelium TUNEL staining compared with that in the WT group (t test, p=0.035). CONCLUSIONS HGF exhibited anti-inflammatory potential in oral traumatic ulcer through the reduction of epithelial apoptosis, connective tissue TNFα expression and induction of c-Met expression.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) is a small GTPase that regulates endosomal trafficking and actin cytoskeleton remodeling. In the present study, we comprehensively examined the cellular and subcellular localization of Arf6 in adult mouse peripheral tissues by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy using the heat-induced antigen retrieval method with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0). Marked immunolabeling of Arf6 was observed particularly in epithelial cells of several tissues including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, trachea, kidney, epididymis, oviduct, and uterus. In most epithelial cells of simple or pseudostratified epithelia, Arf6 exhibited predominant localization to the basolateral membrane and a subpopulation of endosomes. At an electron microscopic level, Arf6 was localized along the basolateral membrane, with dense accumulation at interdigitating processes and infoldings. Arf6 was present in a ring-like appearance at intercellular bridges in spermatogonia and spermatocytes in the testis and at the Flemming body of cytokinetic somatic cells in the ovarian follicle, thymus, and spleen. The present study provides anatomical clues to help understand the physiological roles of Arf6 at the whole animal level.

Human dental pulp pluripotent-like stem cells promote wound healing and muscle regeneration. Stem Cell Res Ther 2017; 8:175. [PMID: 28750661 PMCID: PMC5531092 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-017-0621-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2017] [Revised: 06/13/2017] [Accepted: 06/26/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Dental pulp represents an easily accessible autologous source of adult stem cells. A subset of these cells, named dental pulp pluripotent-like stem cells (DPPSC), shows high plasticity and can undergo multiple population doublings, making DPPSC an appealing tool for tissue repair or maintenance. Methods DPPSC were harvested from the dental pulp of third molars extracted from young patients. Growth factors released by DPPSC were analysed using antibody arrays. Cells were cultured in specific differentiation media and their endothelial, smooth and skeletal muscle differentiation potential was evaluated. The therapeutic potential of DPPSC was tested in a wound healing mouse model and in two genetic mouse models of muscular dystrophy (Scid/mdx and Sgcb-null Rag2-null γc-null). Results DPPSC secreted several growth factors involved in angiogenesis and extracellular matrix deposition and improved vascularisation in all three murine models. Moreover, DPPSC stimulated re-epithelialisation and ameliorated collagen deposition and organisation in healing wounds. In dystrophic mice, DPPSC engrafted in the skeletal muscle of both dystrophic murine models and showed integration in muscular fibres and vessels. In addition, DPPSC treatment resulted in reduced fibrosis and collagen content, larger cross-sectional area of type II fast-glycolytic fibres and infiltration of higher numbers of proangiogenic CD206+ macrophages. Conclusions Overall, DPPSC represent a potential source of stem cells to enhance the wound healing process and slow down dystrophic muscle degeneration.
