J Biomed Mater Res A 2023; 111:1642-1655. [PMID: 37222462 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37561] [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: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Despite accumulating evidences have demonstrated the potential of collagen and chitosan on tissue repair, it remains unclear on their combination effects. Here, we examined the regenerative effects of single collagen, chitosan and their mixture on fibroblasts and endothelial cells at cellular levels. The results showed that fibroblast responses, as indicated by high proliferative rate, increased spheroid diameter and migrated area existing from spheroid edge, and decreased wound area, were significantly promoted by either collagen or chitosan stimulation. Similarly, both collagen and chitosan resulted in increased endothelial cell proliferation and migration with accelerated tube-like network formation and upregulated VE-cadherin expression, although collagen strongly provided this effect. While the 1:1 mixture (100:100 μg/mL of chitosan to collagen) treatment caused a reduction in fibroblast viability, the lower ratio of chitosan (1:10 mixture; 10:100 μg/mL) did not produce any impact on both fibroblast and endothelial cell viabilities. The 1:10 mixture also significantly enhanced the additional effects on fibroblast responses and angiogenic activities as shown by higher endothelial growth, proliferation and migration with accelerated capillary-like network formation than those treated with the single substance. Further investigation of signaling proteins found that collagen significantly increased expressions of p-Fak, p-Akt and Cdk5 whereas chitosan upregulated p-Fak and Cdk5 expressions. Comparing to the single treatments, p-Fak, p-Akt and Cdk5 were higher expressed in the 1:10 mixture. These observations indicate that proper collagen-chitosan mixture provides the combination effects on fibroblast responses and angiogenic activities when a high concentration of collagen is used, possibly through Fak/Akt and Cdk5 signaling pathways. Therefore, this study helps to define the clinical use of collagen and chitosan as promising biomaterials for tissue repair.

The Effects of Tissue Healing Factors in Wound Repair Involving Absorbable Meshes: A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5683. [PMID: 37685753 PMCID: PMC10488606 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12175683] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and meticulously orchestrated process involving multiple phases and cellular interactions. This narrative review explores the intricate mechanisms behind wound healing, emphasizing the significance of cellular processes and molecular factors. The phases of wound healing are discussed, focusing on the roles of immune cells, growth factors, and extracellular matrix components. Cellular shape alterations driven by cytoskeletal modulation and the influence of the 'Formin' protein family are highlighted for their impact on wound healing processes. This review delves into the use of absorbable meshes in wound repair, discussing their categories and applications in different surgical scenarios. Interleukins (IL-2 and IL-6), CD31, CD34, platelet rich plasma (PRP), and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are discussed in their respective roles in wound healing. The interactions between these factors and their potential synergies with absorbable meshes are explored, shedding light on how these combinations might enhance the healing process. Recent advances and challenges in the field are also presented, including insights into mesh integration, biocompatibility, infection prevention, and postoperative complications. This review underscores the importance of patient-specific factors and surgical techniques in optimizing mesh placement and healing outcomes. As wound healing remains a dynamic field, this narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding and potential avenues for future research and clinical applications.

A high-salt diet promotes hypertrophic scarring through TRPC3-mediated mitochondrial Ca 2+ homeostasis dysfunction. Heliyon 2023; 9:e18629. [PMID: 37588604 PMCID: PMC10425910 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Diet High in salt content have been associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. We recently demonstrated that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels regulate myofibroblast transdifferentiation in hypertrophic scars. Here, we examined how high salt activation of TRPC3 participates in hypertrophic scarring during wound healing. In vitro, we confirmed that high salt increased the TRPC3 protein expression and the marker of myofibroblast alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in wild-type mice (WT) primary cultured dermal fibroblasts but not Trpc3-/- mice. Activation of TRPC3 by high salt elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in dermal fibroblasts in a TRPC3-dependent manner. High salt activation of TRPC3 enhanced mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction and excessive ROS production by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase action, that activated ROS-triggered Ca2+ influx and the Rho kinase/MLC pathway in WT mice but not Trpc3-/- mice. In vivo, a persistent high-salt diet promoted myofibroblast transdifferentiation and collagen deposition in a TRPC3-dependent manner. Therefore, this study demonstrates that high salt enhances myofibroblast transdifferentiation and promotes hypertrophic scar formation through enhanced mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis, which activates the ROS-mediated pMLC/pMYPT1 pathway. TRPC3 deficiency antagonizes high salt diet-induced hypertrophic scarring. TRPC3 may be a novel target for hypertrophic scarring during wound healing.

Abstract
The restoration of an intact epidermal barrier after wound injury is the culmination of a highly complex and exquisitely regulated physiological process involving multiple cells and tissues, overlapping dynamic events and protein synthesis and regulation. Central to this process is the cytoskeleton, a system of intracellular proteins that are instrumental in regulating important processes involved in wound repair including chemotaxis, cytokinesis, proliferation, migration, and phagocytosis. One highly conserved family of cytoskeletal proteins that are emerging as major regulators of actin and microtubule nucleation, polymerization, and stabilization are the formins. The formin family includes 15 different proteins categorized into seven subfamilies based on three formin homology domains (FH1, FH2, and FH3). The formins themselves are regulated in different ways including autoinhibition, activation, and localization by a range of proteins, including Rho GTPases. Herein, we describe the roles and effects of the formin family of cytoskeletal proteins on the fundamental process of wound healing and highlight recent advances relating to their important functions, mechanisms, and regulation at the molecular and cellular levels.
