Phytoconstituents as modulators of NF-κB signalling: Investigating therapeutic potential for diabetic wound healing. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:117058. [PMID: 38968797 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117058] [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: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The NF-κB pathway plays a pivotal role in impeding the diabetic wound healing process, contributing to prolonged inflammation, diminished angiogenesis, and reduced proliferation. In contrast to modern synthetic therapies, naturally occurring phytoconstituents are well-studied inhibitors of the NF-κB pathway that are now attracting increased attention in the context of diabetic wound healing because of lower toxicity, better safety and efficacy, and cost-effectiveness. This study explores recent research on phytoconstituent-based therapies and delve into their action mechanisms targeting the NF-κB pathway and potential for assisting effective healing of diabetic wounds. For this purpose, we have carried out surveys of recent literature and analyzed studies from prominent databases such as Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Web of Science. The classification of phytoconstituents into various categorie such as: alkaloids, triterpenoids, phenolics, polyphenols, flavonoids, monoterpene glycosides, naphthoquinones and tocopherols. Noteworthy phytoconstituents, including Neferine, Plumbagin, Boswellic acid, Genistein, Luteolin, Kirenol, Rutin, Vicenin-2, Gamma-tocopherol, Icariin, Resveratrol, Mangiferin, Betulinic acid, Berberine, Syringic acid, Gallocatechin, Curcumin, Loureirin-A, Loureirin-B, Lupeol, Paeoniflorin, and Puerarin emerge from these studies as promising agents for diabetic wound healing through the inhibition of the NF-κB pathway. Extensive research on various phytoconstituents has revealed how they modulate signalling pathways, including NF-κB, studies that demonstrate the potential for development of therapeutic phytoconstituents to assist healing of chronic diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Even today, not all wounds can be healed. Treatment, which often takes many years, is a burden for patients and is very cost-intensive. Therefore, additional procedures such as cold plasma are becoming increasingly popular. Active components of cold plasma include electromagnetic radiation and free radicals. The active principle is based on, among other things, damage to bacterial cells and positive interaction with epithelial and endothelial cells. Angiogenesis and cellular oxygen metabolism are stimulated. The evidence base is still limited and heterogeneous, as some results are contradictory and comparability is difficult. However, new, well-designed studies have confirmed previous findings. In order to create a solid database, further studies are needed.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most significant causes of death all over the world. This illness, due to abnormal blood glucose levels, leads to impaired wound healing and, as a result, foot ulcers. These ulcers cannot heal quickly in diabetic patients and may finally result in amputation. In recent years, different research has been conducted to heal diabetic foot ulcers: one of them is using cold atmospheric pressure plasma. Nowadays, cold atmospheric pressure plasma is highly regarded in medicine because of its positive effects and lack of side effects. These conditions have caused plasma to be considered a promising technology in medicine and especially diabetic wound healing because studies show that it can heal chronic wounds that are resistant to standard treatments. The positive effects of plasma are due to different reactive species, UV radiation, and electromagnetic fields. This work reviews ongoing cold atmospheric pressure plasma improvements in diabetic wound healing. It shows that plasma can be a promising tool in treating chronic wounds, including ones resulting from diabetes.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is a common factor in obesity, diabetes mellitus, and the complications of diabetes, including diabetic wounds. These ulcers are characterized by persistent lesions that are challenging to heal, significantly decreasing patients' quality of life and imposing a substantial financial burden on society. MMP are zinc endopeptidases that play a role in wound healing in response to various stimuli, including diabetes mellitus. MMP levels fluctuate throughout the wound healing process in diabetic patients' serum, skin tissues, and wound fluid, indicating their potential as biomarkers for diabetic foot ulcers. Targeting MMP has emerged as a promising strategy for treating diabetic wounds, as these enzymes are involved in critical biological processes related to wound healing, including extracellular matrix secretion, angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, collagen growth, re-epithelization, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), one of the most common and serious consequences of diabetes, affects many individuals and often leads to amputation, death and other disastrous outcomes. Diabetic foot ulcers have a relatively poor response to therapy, which increases the likelihood of recurrence. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy is an emerging treatment method for DFU that can reduce bacterial loads and speed up the healing of chronic wounds. Although some studies have reported that CAP could improve the wound healing speed compared with conventional traditional therapy, the samples in these studies are small and not sufficiently representative. The purpose of the current systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CAP in DFU treatment and provide a scientific basis for its clinical application. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The following databases will be searched: Wanfang, China Biology and Medicine CD, Embase, PubMed and The Cochrane Library. We will retrieve publications, conference documents, current trials and internal reports written in English or Chinese related to the effect of CAP therapy on wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers up to 30 June 2022. The selected articles will be read independently by two reviewers, and valid information such as first author, publication date and outcome indicators will be extracted. Researchers will also assess the quality of the literature using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 2. RevMan 5.3.5, EndNote X7 and STATA V.13.0 will be used for data analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION No ethical review is necessary for this systematic review because it is based on previously published data and does not include patient intervention. A peer-reviewed publication will publish the findings of this investigation.

Abstract
The rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus brings with it a rise in the occurrence of several complications of the disease such as chronic non-healing wounds. Diabetics are more prone to developing chronic wounds due to complications like peripheral neuropathy, poor foot care, hyperglycaemia and peripheral vascular diseases. The aim of this review is to discuss the various imbalances in the cytokine environment of diabetic wounds and to explore the developments in their management with an emphasis on agents that may be used topically to aid the healing process of chronic wounds. A systematic search was conducted on Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar and relevant articles were shortlisted. We conclude that increased blood sugar impairs most phases of wound healing in several ways. Supplementary therapy with either topical or systemic cytokines is shown to promote wound healing in a diabetic wound.

Abstract
Objective A previous meta-analysis has revealed that cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) might not be clinically beneficial to chronic wounds. However, several new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported that CAP was an effective treatment option for accelerating wound healing in chronic wounds. The purpose of this review is to incorporate these new results and evaluate the efficacy of CAP in chronic wounds. Methods The major databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, were searched for articles related to CAP treatment in chronic wounds until March 21, 2022. The literature retrieval and evaluation were carried out by two independent researchers. Result A total of 13 randomized clinical trials published between 2010 and 2022 were finally included. CAP therapy showed to be more effective in reducing the area of wounds (mean difference (MD): -1.74, 95%; confidence interval (CI): [-3.14, -0.33], p = 0.02), compared with non-CAP treatments. The immediate reduction of the bacterial load was higher in the CAP group than in the control group. (MD: -0.37, 95%; CI: [-0.7, -0.05], p = 0.02). Conclusion No significant changes were found in long-term antibacterial efficacy and pain perception between the two groups. However, more RCTs of excellent methodological quality are required to confirm technical details of the source of AP and the appropriate duration of the treatment with plasma.

Abstract
Diabetic wound infection is a common disease that has significantly reduced people's quality of life. Although tremendous achievements have been made in clinical treatment, the crucial challenge in diabetic infected wound management stems from the detrimental diabetic wound environment and the emergence of bacterial resistance after long-term medication, which result in a reduced efficacy, an increased dosage of medication, and severe side effects. To tackle these issues, it is of great significance to develop an innovative treatment strategy for diabetic wound infection therapy. Currently, the exploitation of nanobiomaterial-based therapeutic systems for diabetic infected wounds is booming, and therapeutic systems with a stimuli-responsive performance have received extensive attention. These therapeutic systems are able to accelerate diabetic infected wound healing due to the on-demand release of therapeutic agents in diabetic infected wounds in response to stimulating factors. Based on the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds, many endogenous stimuli-responsive (e.g., glucose, enzyme, hypoxia, and acidity) therapeutic systems have been employed for the targeted treatment of infected wounds in diabetic patients. Additionally, exogenous stimulants, including light, magnetism, and temperature, are also capable of achieving on-demand drug release and activation. In this review, the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds are presented, and then exogenous/endogenous stimuli therapeutic systems for the treatment of diabetic infected wounds are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future outlook of stimuli-responsive therapeutic systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is an emerging technology with great potential for biomedical applications such as sterilizing equipment and antitumor strategies. CAP has also been shown to improve skin wound healing in vivo, but the biological mechanisms involved are not well known. Our study assessed a possible effect of a direct helium jet CAP treatment on keratinocytes, in both the immortalized N/TERT-1 human cell line and primary keratinocytes obtained from human skin samples. The cells were covered with 200 µL of phosphate buffered saline and exposed to the helium plasma jet for 10−120 s. In our experimental conditions, micromolar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, nitrite and nitrate were produced. We showed that long-time CAP treatments (≥60 s) were cytotoxic, reduced keratinocyte migration, upregulated the expression of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and induced oxidative cell stress. In contrast, short-term CAP treatments (<60 s) were not cytotoxic, did not affect keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, and did not induce any changes in mitochondria, but they did accelerate wound closure in vitro by improving keratinocyte migration. In conclusion, these results suggest that helium-based CAP treatments improve wound healing by stimulating keratinocyte migration. The study confirms that CAP could be a novel therapeutic method to treat recalcitrant wounds.

Abstract
Wound healing is highly specialized dynamic multiple phase process for the repair of damaged/injured tissues through an intricate mechanism. Any failure in the normal wound healing process results in abnormal scar formation, and chronic state which is more susceptible to infections. Chronic wounds affect patients’ quality of life along with increased morbidity and mortality and are huge financial burden to healthcare systems worldwide, and thus requires specialized biomedical intensive treatment for its management. The clinical assessment and management of chronic wounds remains challenging despite the development of various therapeutic regimens owing to its painstakingly long-term treatment requirement and complex wound healing mechanism. Various conventional approaches such as cell therapy, gene therapy, growth factor delivery, wound dressings, and skin grafts etc., are being utilized for promoting wound healing in different types of wounds. However, all these abovementioned therapies are not satisfactory for all wound types, therefore, there is an urgent demand for the development of competitive therapies. Therefore, there is a pertinent requirement to develop newer and innovative treatment modalities for multipart therapeutic regimens for chronic wounds. Recent developments in advanced wound care technology includes nanotherapeutics, stem cells therapy, bioengineered skin grafts, and 3D bioprinting-based strategies for improving therapeutic outcomes with a focus on skin regeneration with minimal side effects. The main objective of this review is to provide an updated overview of progress in therapeutic options in chronic wounds healing and management over the years using next generation innovative approaches. Herein, we have discussed the skin function and anatomy, wounds and wound healing processes, followed by conventional treatment modalities for wound healing and skin regeneration. Furthermore, various emerging and innovative strategies for promoting quality wound healing such as nanotherapeutics, stem cells therapy, 3D bioprinted skin, extracellular matrix-based approaches, platelet-rich plasma-based approaches, and cold plasma treatment therapy have been discussed with their benefits and shortcomings. Finally, challenges of these innovative strategies are reviewed with a note on future prospects.
