Analysis of Circulating miRNA Expression Profiles in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Diabetic Foot Complications. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7078. [PMID: 39000190 PMCID: PMC11241130 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with various complications, including diabetic foot, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Non-healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients are a major risk factor for infections and amputations. Despite conventional treatments, which have limited efficacy, there is a need for more effective therapies. MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a role in gene expression and have been implicated in diabetic wound healing. miR expression was analyzed through RT-qPCR in 41 diabetic foot Mexican patients and 50 controls. Diabetic foot patients showed significant increases in plasma levels of miR-17-5p (p = 0.001), miR-191-5p (p = 0.001), let-7e-5p (p = 0.001), and miR-33a-5p (p = 0.005) when compared to controls. Elevated levels of miR-17, miR-191, and miR-121 correlated with higher glucose levels in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (r = 0.30, p = 0.004; r = 0.25, p = 0.01; and r = 0.21, p = 0.05, respectively). Levels of miR-17 showed the highest diagnostic potential (AUC 0.903, p = 0.0001). These findings underscore the possible role of these miRs in developing diabetes complications. Our study suggests that high miR-17, miR-191, and miR-121 expression is strongly associated with higher glucose levels and the development of diabetic foot ulcers.

High glucose intake exacerbates experimental autoimmune prostatitis through mitochondrial reactive oxygen species-dependent TGF-β activation-mediated Th17 differentiation. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 130:111682. [PMID: 38394885 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111682] [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: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common inflammatory immune disease of the urogenital system. High glucose intake is considered to be a potential promoter of autoimmune diseases. However, the influence of high glucose intake on CP/CPPS is unknown. This research aimed to explore the influences of high glucose intake on experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP), a valid animal model of CP/CPPS, and the underlying mechanism. NOD mice received 20% glucose water or normal water treatment during EAP induction. EAP severity and Th17 cell responses were evaluated. Then, we explored the effects of an IL-17A neutralizing antibody, an inhibitor of TGF-β, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor NAC, and the mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) antioxidant MitoQ on glucose-fed EAP mice. The results demonstrated that high glucose intake aggravated EAP severity and promoted Th17 cell generation, which could be ameliorated by the neutralization of IL-17A. In vitro experiments showed that high dextrose concentrations promoted Th17 cell differentiation through mtROS-dependent TGF-β activation. Treatment with TGF-β blockade, NAC, or MitoQ suppressed Th17 cell generation both in vivo and in vitro, resulting in the amelioration of EAP manifestations caused by high glucose intake. This study revealed that high glucose intake exacerbates EAP through mtROS-dependent TGF-β activation-mediated Th17 differentiation. Our results may provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the detrimental effects of an environmental factor, such as high glucose intake, on CP/CPPS.

Characterization of the molecular composition and in vitro regenerative capacity of platelet-based bioproducts and related subfractions. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:132-147. [PMID: 38311196 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.029] [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: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
The use and demand of platelet-based bioproducts in regenerative medicine is steadily increasing. However, it is very difficult to establish the real clinical benefits of these therapies, as the lack of characterization and detailed production methods of platelet-based bioproducts persists in the literature and precludes cross-study comparisons. We characterized the molecular composition and in vitro regenerative capacity of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produced in a closed-system. Furthermore, we performed a parallel characterization on different PRP subfractions (plasma and plasma-free platelet lysate), identifying that the fractions containing platelet-derived cargo exert the most potent regenerative capacity. This observation led us to develop a method to obtain a platelet secretome highly enriched in growth factors, free of plasma and cellular components (PCT/IB2022/057936), with the aim of establishing a superior bioproduct. The molecular characterization of secretomes revealed agonist-dependent differences, which correlates with beneficial grades of regenerative capacity. Importantly, secretomes showed general superiority to PRP in vitro. We discuss the variables influencing the bioproduct quality (inter-donor variation, platelet source and processing methods). Finally, we propose that the characteristics of secretomes circumvents certain limitations of PRP (autologous vs allogeneic), and envision that optimizing post-processing protocols (nanoencapsulation, lyophilization), would allow their clinical application even beyond regenerative medicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The use and demand of platelet-based bioproducts in regenerative medicine is steadily increasing. However, it is very difficult to establish the real clinical benefits of these therapies, or to improve/personalize them, as the lack of characterization of the bioproducts and their production methods is a constant in the literature, reason that precludes cross-study comparisons. In the present manuscript, we provide a comprehensive molecular and functional characterization of platelet-based bioproducts and subfractions, including platelet rich plasma, plasma fractions and platelet secretomes produced with a methodology developed by our group. Our results show that the molecular composition of each fraction correlates with its regenerative capacity in vitro. Thus, a rigorous characterization of platelet-derived bioproducts will potentially allow universal use, customizing and new applications.

Metformin and adipose-derived stem cell combination therapy alleviates radiation-induced skin fibrosis in mice. Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 15:13. [PMID: 38185658 PMCID: PMC10773046 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03627-7] [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: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation therapy often leads to late radiation-induced skin fibrosis (RISF), causing movement impairment and discomfort. We conducted a comprehensive study to assess the effectiveness of metformin and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), whether autologous or allogeneic, individually or in combination therapy, in mitigating RISF. METHODS Using a female C57BL/6J mouse model subjected to hind limb irradiation as a representative RISF model, we evaluated metformin, ASCs, or their combination in two contexts: prophylactic (started on day 1 post-irradiation) and therapeutic (initiated on day 14 post-irradiation, coinciding with fibrosis symptoms). We measured limb movement, examined skin histology, and analyzed gene expression to assess treatment efficacy. RESULTS Prophylactic metformin and ASCs, whether autologous or allogeneic, effectively prevented late fibrosis, with metformin showing promising results. However, combination therapy did not provide additional benefits when used prophylactically. Autologous ASCs, alone or with metformin, proved most effective against late-stage RISF. Prophylactic intervention outperformed late therapy for mitigating radiation skin damage. Co-culture studies revealed that ASCs and metformin downregulated inflammation and fibrotic gene expression in both mouse and human fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests metformin's potential as a prophylactic measure to prevent RISF, and the combination of ASCs and metformin holds promise for late-stage RISF treatment. These findings have clinical implications for improving the quality of life for those affected by radiation-induced skin fibrosis.

Abstract
In today's culture, obesity and overweight are serious issues that have an impact on how quickly diabetes develops and how it causes complications. For the development of more effective therapies, it is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the chronic problems of diabetes. The most prominent effects of diabetes are microvascular abnormalities such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, especially diabetes foot ulcers, as well as macrovascular abnormalities such as heart disease and atherosclerosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are highly conserved endogenous short non-coding RNA molecules, have been implicated in several physiological functions recently, including the earliest stages of the disease. By binding to particular messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which cause mRNA degradation, translation inhibition, or even gene activation, it primarily regulates posttranscriptional gene expression. These molecules exhibit considerable potential as diagnostic biomarkers for disease and are interesting treatment targets. This review will provide an overview of the latest findings on the key functions that miRNAs role in diabetes and its complications, with an emphasis on the various stages of diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
CONTEXT MicroRNA-191-5p regulates key cellular processes involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications such as angiogenesis, extracellular matrix deposition, and inflammation. However, no data on circulating microRNA-191-5p in the chronic complications of diabetes are available. OBJECTIVE To assess whether serum levels of microRNA-191-5p were associated with micro- and macrovascular disease in a large cohort of subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) from the EURODIAB Prospective Complication Study. DESIGN AND SETTING Levels of microRNA-191-5p were measured by quantitative PCR in 420 patients with DM1 recruited as part of the cross-sectional analysis of the EURODIAB Prospective Complication Study. Cases (n = 277) were subjects with nephropathy and/or retinopathy and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD). Controls (n = 143) were patients without complications. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the potential independent association of microRNA-191-5p levels with chronic complications of diabetes. RESULTS Levels of microRNA-191-5p were significantly reduced (P < .001) in cases compared with controls even after adjustment for age, sex, and diabetes duration. Logistic regression analysis revealed that microRNA-191-5p was negatively associated with a 58% reduced odds ratio (OR) of chronic diabetes complications, specifically CVD, micro-macroalbuminuria, and retinopathy (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.23-0.77), independent of age, sex, physical activity, educational levels, diabetes duration, glycated hemoglobin, total insulin dose, hypertension, smoking, total cholesterol, albumin excretion rate, estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Analyses performed separately for each complication demonstrated a significant independent association with albuminuria (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, (0.18-0.75) and CVD (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.16-0.70). CONCLUSIONS In DM1 subjects, microRNA-191-5p is inversely associated with vascular chronic complications of diabetes.

Abstract
Chronic wounds with high disability are among the most common and serious complications of diabetes. Angiogenesis dysfunction impair wound healing in patients with diabetes. Compared with traditional therapies that can only provide symptomatic treatment, stem cells-owing to their powerful paracrine properties, can alleviate the pathogenesis of chronic diabetic wounds and even cure them. Exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs), important components of stem cell paracrine signaling, have been reported for therapeutic use in various disease models, including diabetic wounds. Exosome-derived miRNAs have been widely reported to be involved in regulating vascular function and have promising applications in the repair and regeneration of skin wounds. Therefore, this article aims to review the current status of the pathophysiology of exosome-derived miRNAs in the diabetes-induced impairment of wound healing, along with current knowledge of the underlying mechanisms, emphasizing the regulatory mechanism of angiogenesis, we hope to document the emerging theoretical basis for improving wound repair by restoring angiogenesis in diabetes.

Abstract
Radiation therapy can lead to late radiation-induced skin fibrosis (RISF), causing movement restriction, pain, and organ dysfunction. This study evaluated adipose-derived extracellular matrix (Ad-ECM) as a mitigator of RISF. Female C57BL/6J mice that were irradiated developed fibrosis, which was mitigated by a single local Ad-ECM injection, improving limb movement and reducing epithelium thickness and collagen deposition. Ad-ECM treatment resulted in decreased expression of pro-inflammatory and fibrotic genes, and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines, promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Co-culture of irradiated human fibroblasts with Ad-ECM down-modulated fibrotic gene expression and enhanced bone marrow cell migration. Ad-ECM treatment also increased interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-15 expression in endothelial cells, stimulating M2 macrophage polarization and alleviating RISF. Prophylactic use of Ad-ECM showed effectiveness in mitigation. This study suggests Ad-ECM's potential in treating chronic-stage fibrosis.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders defined by hyperglycemia induced by insulin resistance, inadequate insulin secretion, or excessive glucagon secretion. In 2021, the global prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to be 10.7% (537 million people). Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) appear to have an important role in the initiation and progression of DM, according to a growing body of research. The two major groups of ncRNAs implicated in diabetic disorders are miRNAs and long noncoding RNAs. miRNAs are single-stranded, short (17–25 nucleotides), ncRNAs that influence gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Because DM has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, it appears that novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are required to identify and treat complications associated with these diseases efficiently. miRNAs are gaining attention as biomarkers for DM diagnosis and potential treatment due to their function in maintaining physiological homeostasis via gene expression regulation. In this review, we address the issue of the gradually expanding global prevalence of DM by presenting a complete and up-to-date synopsis of various regulatory miRNAs involved in these disorders. We hope this review will spark discussion about ncRNAs as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic tools for DM. We examine and synthesize recent research that used novel, high-throughput technologies to uncover ncRNAs involved in DM, necessitating a systematic approach to examining and summarizing their roles and possible diagnostic and therapeutic uses.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Due to the high number of patients and expensive treatments, according to the Federal Statistical Office (2017) in Germany, cardiovascular diseases account for around 15% of total health costs. Advanced coronary artery disease is mainly the result of chronic disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. In the modern obesogenic environment, many people are at greater risk of being overweight or obese. The hemodynamic load on the heart is influenced by extreme obesity, which often leads to myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure. In addition, obesity leads to a chronic inflammatory state and negatively affects the wound-healing process. It has been known for many years that lifestyle interventions such as exercise, healthy nutrition, and smoking cessation drastically reduce cardiovascular risk and have a preventive effect against disorders in the healing process. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms, and there is significantly less high-quality evidence compared to pharmacological intervention studies. Due to the immense potential of prevention in heart research, the cardiologic societies are calling for research work to be intensified, from basic understanding to clinical application. The topicality and high relevance of this research area are also evident from the fact that in March 2018, a one-week conference on this topic with contributions from top international scientists took place as part of the renowned "Keystone Symposia" ("New Insights into the Biology of Exercise"). Consistent with the link between obesity, exercise, and cardiovascular disease, this review attempts to draw lessons from stem-cell transplantation and preventive exercise. The application of state-of-the-art techniques for transcriptome analysis has opened new avenues for tailoring targeted interventions to very individual risk factors.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are associated with complex pathogenic factors and are considered a serious complication of diabetes. The potential mechanisms underlying DFUs have been increasingly investigated. Previous studies have focused on the three aspects of diabetic peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, and wound infections. With advances in technology, researchers have been gradually conducting studies using immune cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, as they are involved in wound healing. It has been reported that the upregulation or downregulation of molecular signaling pathways is essential for the healing of DFUs. With a recent increase in the awareness of epigenetics, its regulatory role in wound healing has become a much sought-after trend in the treatment of DFUs. This review focuses on four aspects involved in the pathogenesis of DFUs: physiological and pathological mechanisms, cellular mechanisms, molecular signaling pathway mechanisms, and epigenetics. Given the challenge in the treatment of DFUs, we are hopeful that our review will provide new ideas for peers.

Abstract
Fetal cutaneous wound closure and repair differ from that in adulthood. In this work, we identify an oxidant stress sensor protein, nonselenocysteine-containing phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (NPGPx), that is abundantly expressed in normal fetal epidermis (and required for fetal wound closure), though not in adult epidermis, but is variably re-induced upon adult tissue wounding. NPGPx is a direct target of the miR-29 family. Following injury, abundance of miR-29 is lowered, permitting a prompt increase in NPGPx transcripts and protein expression in adult wound-edge tissue. NPGPx expression was required to mediate increased keratinocyte migration induced by miR-29 inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Increased NPGPx expression induced increased SOX2 expression and β-catenin nuclear localization in keratinocytes. Augmenting physiologic NPGPx expression via experimentally induced miR-29 suppression, using cutaneous tissue nanotransfection or targeted lipid nanoparticle delivery of anti-sense oligonucleotides, proved to be sufficient to overcome the deleterious effects of diabetes on this specific pathway to enhance tissue repair.

Abstract
Purpose: The effect of metabolic risk factors on the recurrence rate of hiatal hernia (HH) after the initial repair is still controversial. In this study, we evaluated whether a poor preoperative metabolic profile is a risk factor for the recurrence of a HH after surgery. Methods: Perioperative patient data were obtained from hospital records. A poor metabolic profile was defined as having two or more metabolic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or being overweight. The recurrence rates of HH were measured at 6 months, and again at 12 months after surgery. Results: Data were collected from a total of 221 patients. While 87 (39.4%) patients underwent tension-free mesh (TFM) repair, 137 (60.6%) were treated with suture repair. The poor metabolic profile has no effect on the recurrence rates in the suture-repair group. However, patients who underwent TFM repair displayed a significantly higher recurrence rate at the 12-month time point if they had poor metabolic profile, compared to the healthy group (respectively, 20.7% and 3.4%, P < .01). The logistic regression analysis showed that having a poor metabolic profile was an independent risk factor for recurrence after 12 months in the same group (odds ratio: 8.04 confidence interval [CI: 1.2-53.5] P = .03). Conclusion: The poor metabolic profile was found to be responsible for high recurrence rates only in patients who underwent TFM HH repair.

MicroRNA Changes Up to 24 h following Induced Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314696.

Abstract
Hypoglycemia, as a complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D), causes increased morbidity and mortality but the physiological response underlying hypoglycemia has not been fully elucidated. Small noncoding microRNA (miRNA) have multiple downstream biological effects. This pilot exploratory study was undertaken to determine if induced miRNA changes would persist and contribute to effects seen 24 h post-hypoglycemia. A parallel, prospective study design was employed, involving T2D (n = 23) and control (n = 23) subjects. The subjects underwent insulin-induced hypoglycemia (2 mmol/L; 36 mg/dL); blood samples were drawn at baseline, upon the induction of hypoglycemia, and 4 h and 24 h post-hypoglycemia, with a quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of miRNA undertaken. The baseline miRNAs did not differ. In the controls, 15 miRNAs were downregulated and one was upregulated (FDR < 0.05) from the induction of hypoglycemia to 4 h later while, in T2D, only four miRNAs were altered (downregulated), and these were common to both cohorts (miR-191-5p; miR-143-3p; let-7b-5p; let-7g-5p), correlated with elevated glucagon levels, and all were associated with energy balance. From the induction of hypoglycemia to 24 h, 14 miRNAs were downregulated and 5 were upregulated (FDR < 0.05) in the controls; 7 miRNAs were downregulated and 7 upregulated (FDR < 0.05) in T2D; a total of 6 miRNAs were common between cohorts, 5 were downregulated (miR-93-5p, let-7b-5p, miR-191-5p, miR-185-5p, and miR-652-3p), and 1 was upregulated (miR-369-3p). An ingenuity pathway analysis indicated that many of the altered miRNAs were associated with metabolic and coagulation pathways; however, of the inflammatory proteins expressed, only miR-143-3p at 24 h correlated positively with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFa; p < 0.05 and r = 0.46) and negatively with toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4; p < 0.05 and r = 0.43). The MiRNA levels altered by hypoglycemia reflected changes in counter-regulatory glucagon and differed between cohorts, and their expression at 24 h suggests miRNAs may potentiate and prolong the physiological response. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03102801.

Abstract
Diabetic wound (DW) is a secondary application of uncontrolled diabetes and affects about 42.2% of diabetics. If the disease is left untreated/uncontrolled, then it may further lead to amputation of organs. In recent years, huge research has been done in the area of wound dressing to have a better maintenance of DW. These include gauze, films, foams or, hydrocolloid-based dressings as well as polysaccharide- and polymer-based dressings. In recent years, scaffolds have played major role as biomaterial for wound dressing due to its tissue regeneration properties as well as fluid absorption capacity. These are three-dimensional polymeric structures formed from polymers that help in tissue rejuvenation. These offer a large surface area to volume ratio to allow cell adhesion and exudate absorbing capacity and antibacterial properties. They also offer a better retention as well as sustained release of drugs that are directly impregnated to the scaffolds or the ones that are loaded in nanocarriers that are impregnated onto scaffolds. The present review comprehensively describes the pathogenesis of DW, various dressings that are used so far for DW, the limitation of currently used wound dressings, role of scaffolds in topical delivery of drugs, materials used for scaffold fabrication, and application of various polymer-based scaffolds for treating DW.

Abstract
Background and aim: We aimed to investigate the effect of ozonated autohaemotherapy (OA) on the wound healing, serum values of interleukin (IL) - 6, 8, 10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and local expression of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) in type 2 diabetics with the acute soft-tissue infections. Methods: Patients in the first cohort (n-30) received a basic comprehensive treatment (BCT-group), and the second (n=28) also received OA (OA-group). Blood samples for ELISA and tissue specimens for the immunohistochemical examinations were collected at admission (day 0) and at the 9th day of inpatient treatment. Results: The additional using of OA has accelerated the timing of a single and the complete wound granulation and the timing to marginal epithelization, compared with the results of the standard treatment. The use of OA has significantly reduced the production of IL-8, 10 at 9th day. OA-group patients were characterized by consistently high levels of bFGF production in contrast to the BCT-group, where the decreasing in the serum bFGF level was observed. The maximum number of bFGFR - immunopositive labels was observed in OA-group out to 9th day (319,45 (249,90-348,43) versus baseline 192,65 (171,93-207,72), versus BCT-group 123,30 (105,23- 141,10), p<0,001). Conclusions: Application of OA in the complex treatment of the acute soft-tissue infections in diabetics makes it possible to achieve the significant reductions in the duration of the wound inflammation and regeneration phases by eliminating of overproduction of IL- 8, 10 and induction of expression of bFGF and its receptors.

Abstract
Wound biofilms represent a particularly challenging problem in modern medicine. They are increasingly antibiotic resistant and can prevent the healing of chronic wounds. However, current treatment and diagnostic options are hampered by the complexity of the biofilm environment. In this review, we present new chemical avenues in biofilm sensors and new materials to treat wound biofilms, offering promise for better detection, chemical specificity, and biocompatibility. We briefly discuss existing methods for biofilm detection and focus on novel, sensor-based approaches that show promise for early, accurate detection of biofilm formation on wound sites and that can be translated to point-of-care settings. We then discuss technologies inspired by new materials for efficient biofilm eradication. We focus on ultrasound-induced microbubbles and nanomaterials that can both penetrate the biofilm and simultaneously carry active antimicrobials and discuss the benefits of those approaches in comparison to conventional methods.

Abstract
An increasing number of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been found to regulate gene expression and protein functions, playing important roles in diverse biological processes and diseases. Their crucial functions have been reported in almost every cell type and all stages of skin wound healing. Evidence of their pathogenetic roles in common wound complications, such as chronic nonhealing wounds and excessive scarring, is also accumulating. Given their unique expression and functional properties, ncRNAs are promising therapeutic and diagnostic entities. In this review, we discuss current knowledge about the functional roles of noncoding elements, such as microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs, in skin wound healing, focusing on in vivo evidence from studies of human wound samples and animal wound models. Finally, we provide a perspective on the outlook of ncRNA-based therapeutics in wound care.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common systematic chronic disease amongst dental patients. The elevated glucose microenvironment can prolong the healing of tooth extraction sockets. Therefore, the promotion of healing up tooth extraction sockets is of great clinical importance to the patients with diabetes mellitus. The current evidence indicates the mechanism of the recovery period of extraction sockets in hyperglycaemia conditions from physiological, inflammation, immune, endocrine and neural aspects. New advancements have been made in varied curative approaches and drugs in the management of wound healing of tooth extraction sockets in diabetes. However, most of the interventions are still in the stage of animal experiments, and whether it can be put into clinical application still needs further explorations. Specifically, our work showed topical administration of plasma-rich growth factor, advanced platelet-rich fibrin, leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin and hyaluronic acid as well as maxillary immediate complete denture is regarded as a promising approach for clinical management of diabetic patients requiring extractions. Overall, recent studies present a blueprint for new advances in novel and effective approaches for this worldwide health ailment and tooth extraction sockets healing.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the leading complication in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and current therapies that limit CKD progression and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Despite the introduction of these therapeutics, an important residual risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular death remains in patients with T2D. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are a promising therapeutic option in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) owing to the reported effects of mineralocorticoid receptor activation in inflammatory cells, podocytes, fibroblasts, mesangial cells and vascular cells. In preclinical studies, MRAs consistently reduce albuminuria, CKD progression, and activation of fibrotic and inflammatory pathways. DKD clinical studies have similarly demonstrated that steroidal MRAs lead to albuminuria reduction compared with placebo, although hyperkalaemia is a major secondary effect. Non-steroidal MRAs carry a lower risk of hyperkalaemia than steroidal MRAs, and the large FIDELIO-DKD clinical trial showed that the non-steroidal MRA finerenone also slowed CKD progression and reduced the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared with placebo in patients with T2D. Encouragingly, other non-steroidal MRAs have anti-albuminuric properties in DKD. Whether or not combining MRAs with other renoprotective drugs such as SGLT2 inhibitors might provide additive protective effects warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a deficiency in how the body regulates glucose. Uncontrolled T2D will result in chronic high blood sugar levels, eventually resulting in T2D complications. These complications, such as kidney, eye, and nerve damage, are even harder to treat. Identifying individuals at high risk of developing T2D and its complications is essential for early prevention and treatment. Numerous studies have been done to identify biomarkers for T2D diagnosis and prognosis. This review focuses on recent T2D biomarker studies based on circulating nucleic acids using different omics technologies: genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics. Omics studies have profiled biomarker candidates from blood, urine, and other non-invasive samples. Despite methodological differences, several candidate biomarkers were reported for the risk and diagnosis of T2D, the prognosis of T2D complications, and pharmacodynamics of T2D treatments. Future studies should be done to validate the findings in larger samples and blood-based biomarkers in non-invasive samples to support the realization of precision medicine for T2D.

Tocotrienols-rich naringenin nanoemulgel for the management of diabetic wound: Fabrication, characterization and comparative in vitro evaluations. CURRENT RESEARCH IN PHARMACOLOGY AND DRUG DISCOVERY 2021; 2:100019. [PMID: 34909654 PMCID: PMC8663980 DOI: 10.1016/j.crphar.2021.100019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 02/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The present research had been attempted to formulate and characterize tocotrienols-rich naringenin nanoemulgel for topical application in chronic wound conditions associated with diabetes. In due course, different phases of the nanoemulsion were chosen based on the solubility study, where combination of Capryol 90 and tocotrienols, Solutol HS15, and Transcutol P were selected as oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant, respectively. The nanoemulsions were formulated using the spontaneous emulsification method. Subsequently, Carbopols were incorporated to develop corresponding nanoemulgels of the optimized nanoemulsions. Thermodynamically stable optimized nanoemulgels were evaluated for their globule size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface charge, viscosity, mucoadhesive property, spreadability, in vitro release and release mechanism. Further, increasing polymer concentration in the nanoemulgels was reflected with the increased mucoadhesive property with corresponding decrease in the release rate of the drug. The optimized nanoemulgel (NG1) consisted of uniform dispersion (PDI, 0.452 ± 0.03) of the nanometric globules (145.58 ± 12.5) of the dispersed phase, and negative surface charge (−21.1 ± 3.32 mV) with viscosity 297,600 cP and good spreadability. In vitro release of naringenin in phosphate buffer saline revealed a sustained release profile up to a maximum of 74.62 ± 4.54% from the formulated nanoemulgel (NG1) within the time-frame of 24 h. Alternatively, the release from the nanoemulsion was much higher (89.17 ± 2.87%), which might be due to lack of polymer coating on the dispersed oil droplets. Moreover, the in vitro release kinetics from the nanoemulgel followed the first-order release and Higuchi model with non-Fickian diffusion. Therefore, encouraging results in this research is evident in bringing a promising future in wound management, particularly associated with diabetes complications. Thermodynamically stable naringenin-loaded tocotrienol-rich nanoemulgels were fabricated using spontaneous method. Developed nanoemulgel possesses nanometric globule size with good spreadability. Controlled in vitro release was obtained over a period of 24 h. First-order release and Higuchi model with non-Fickian diffusion was established in the in vitro release kinetic profile. This nanoemulgel could be a promising tool in the management of chronic wound condition.

Abstract
Pancreatic β-cells within the islets of Langerhans respond to rising blood glucose levels by secreting insulin that stimulates glucose uptake by peripheral tissues to maintain whole body energy homeostasis. To different extents, failure of β-cell function and/or β-cell loss contribute to the development of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Chronically elevated glycaemia and high circulating free fatty acids, as often seen in obese diabetics, accelerate β-cell failure and the development of the disease. MiRNAs are essential for endocrine development and for mature pancreatic β-cell function and are dysregulated in diabetes. In this review, we summarize the different molecular mechanisms that control miRNA expression and function, including transcription, stability, posttranscriptional modifications, and interaction with RNA binding proteins and other non-coding RNAs. We also discuss which of these mechanisms are responsible for the nutrient-mediated regulation of the activity of β-cell miRNAs and identify some of the more important knowledge gaps in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review summarizes results of studies that evaluated the expression of microRNAs (miRs) in prediabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS The information was obtained from PubMed, EMBL-EBI, Wanfang, Trip Database, Lilacs, CINAHL, Human microRNA Disease Database (HMDD) v3.0, and Google. A qualitative synthesis of the results was performed and miRs frequency was graphically represented. From 1893 identified studies, only 55 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. These 55 studies analyzed miRs in T2D, and of them, 13 also described data of prediabetes. RESULTS In diabetics, 122 miRs were reported and 35 miRs for prediabetics. However, we identified that five miRs (-122-5p, 144-3p, 210, 375, and -126b) were reported more often in diabetics and four (144-3p, -192, 29a, and -30d) in prediabetics. CONCLUSIONS Circulating miRs could be used as biomarkers of T2D. However, it is necessary to validate these microRNAs in prospective and multicenter studies with different population subgroups, considering age, gender, and risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is usually the leading cause of chronic non-healing wounds. LncRNA-GAS5 has been verified to be involved in the regulation of diabetes or high glucose (HG)-stimulated cells. However, its regulatory roles in diabetic wound healing need further investigation. METHOD GAS5, miR-217 and Prox1 were identified by qRT-PCR. MTT, flow cytometry assay, wound-healing assay and tube formation were used to analyze cell viability, apoptosis, migration and tube formation capacity. Western blotting was carried out to detect the protein expression of c-Myc, CyclinD1, CDK4, Bcl-2, Prox1, VEGFR-3 and LYVE-1. Bioinformatics and luciferase assay were performed to predict and validate the binding sites of miR-217 on GAS5 and Prox1. Immunofluorescence staining detected the expression and distribution of Prox1. The wound healing rate was also assessed by setting up the diabetic mouse model. H&E staining assessed the distribution of inflammatory cells and fibroblasts in the wound tissues. RESULTS GAS5 was significantly down-regulated whereas miR-217 was obviously up-regulated in diabetic skin, HG-induced lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and diabetic mouse model. GAS5 sponged miR-217 to up-regulate Prox1. GAS5 overexpression or miR-217 inhibition rescued the impairments of cell viability, migration and lymphatic vessel formation and the facilitation of apoptosis of LECs caused by HG. Similar impacts were observed on the protein level of VEGFR-3, LYVE-1, and Prox1. GAS5 promoted wound healing and lymphangiogenesis in the diabetic mouse model. CONCLUSION GAS5 sponged miR-217 to up-regulate Prox1 and promote lymphangiogenesis and diabetic wound healing. This might provide novel therapeutic strategy to improve the efficacy of diabetic wound healing.

Immunomodulatory Properties of Host Defence Peptides in Skin Wound Healing. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11070952.

Abstract
Cutaneous wound healing is a vital biological process that aids skin regeneration upon injury. Wound healing failure results from persistent inflammatory conditions observed in diabetes, or autoimmune diseases like psoriasis. Chronic wounds are incurable due to factors like poor oxygenation, aberrant function of peripheral sensory nervature, inadequate nutrients and blood tissue supply. The most significant hallmark of chronic wounds is heavily aberrant immune skin function. The immune response in humans relies on a large network of signalling molecules and their interactions. Research studies have reported on the dual role of host defence peptides (HDPs), which are also often called antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Their duality reflects their potential for acting as antibacterial peptides, and as immunodulators that assist in modulating several biological signalling pathways related to processes such as wound healing, autoimmune disease, and others. HDPs may differentially control gene regulation and alter the behaviour of epithelial and immune cells, resulting in modulation of immune responses. In this review, we shed light on the understanding and most recent advances related to molecular mechanisms and immune modulatory features of host defence peptides in human skin wound healing. Understanding their functional role in skin immunity may further inspire topical treatments for chronic wounds.

Abstract
Nowadays, there has been an increase in the number of people with chronic wounds, which has resulted in serious health problems worldwide. The rate-limiting stage of chronic wound healing has been found to be the inflammation stage, and strategies for shortening the prolonged inflammatory response have proven to be effective for increasing the healing rate. Recently, various anti-inflammatory strategies (such as anti-inflammatory drugs, antioxidant, NO regulation, antibacterial, immune regulation and angiogenesis) have attracted attention as potential therapeutic pathways. Moreover, various biomaterial platforms based on anti-inflammation therapy strategies have also emerged in the spotlight as potential therapies to accelerate the repair of chronic wounds. In this review, we systematically investigated the advances of various biomaterial platforms based on anti-inflammation strategies for chronic wound healing, to provide valuable guidance for future breakthroughs in chronic wound treatment.

Abstract
Myrciaria dubia (HBK) McVaugh (camu-camu) belongs to the family Myrtaceae. Although camu-camu has received a great deal of attention for its potential pharmacological activities, there is little information on the anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects of camu-camu fruit in skin diseases. In the present study, we investigated the preventative effect of 70% ethanol camu-camu fruit extract against high glucose-induced human keratinocytes. High glucose-induced overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was inhibited by camu-camu fruit treatment. In response to ROS reduction, camu-camu fruit modulated the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)/activator protein-1 (AP-1), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling pathways related to inflammation by downregulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Furthermore, camu-camu fruit treatment activated the expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and subsequently increased the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1) expression to protect keratinocytes against high-glucose-induced oxidative stress. These results indicate that camu-camu fruit is a promising material for preventing oxidative stress and skin inflammation induced by high glucose level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To investigate the risk of residual tympanic membrane (TM) perforation after intratympanic (IT) steroidal treatment administered via transtympanic injection compared with trans-tympanostomy tube (TyT). STUDY DESIGN Case series, systematic review and meta analysis. METHODS Data were retrieved from the medical files of an original cohort of all consecutive patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss necessitating IT steroidal treatment in a tertiary medical center between January 1, 2016 and November 20, 2020. A systematic literature search of "MEDLINE" via "PubMed," "Embase," and "Web of Science" on comparable published cases was performed and meta-analysis was established. RESULTS Eighteen studies describing 818 ears were included in the quantitative meta-analysis in addition to a local cohort of 140 ears. The proportion of residual TM perforation was 1.11% and 1.14% (95% confidence interval: 0.01%-3.27% and 0.028%-2.38%) in the TyT and trans-tympanic groups, respectively, suggesting no significant difference in residual TM perforation risk between these techniques. CONCLUSION IT steroid therapy via trans-TyT is not associated with more residual perforations than IT steroid therapy via transtympanic injections. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 131:E2583-E2591, 2021.

Abstract
Stringent spatiotemporal regulation of the wound healing process involving multiple cell types is associated with epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation, such as DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatin remodelling, as well as non-coding RNAs. Here, we discuss the epigenetic changes that occur during wound healing and the rapidly expanding understanding of how these mechanisms affect healing resolution in both acute and chronic wound milieu. We provide a focussed overview of current research into epigenetic regulators that contribute to wound healing by specific cell type. We highlight the role of epigenetic regulators in the molecular pathophysiology of chronic wound conditions. The understanding of how epigenetic regulators can affect cellular functions during normal and impaired wound healing could lead to novel therapeutic approaches, and we outline questions that can provide guidance for future research on epigenetic-based interventions to promote healing. Dissecting the dynamic interplay between cellular subtypes involved in wound healing and epigenetic parameters during barrier repair will deepen our understanding of how to improve healing outcomes in patients affected by chronic non-healing wounds.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds affect the quality of life of patients, resulting in significant social and economic burdens on both individuals and the health care system. Although treatment methods for chronic diabetic wounds have been explored, there remains a lack of effective treatment strategies; therefore, alternative strategies must be explored. Recently, the abnormal expression of non-coding RNA in diabetic wounds has received widespread attention since it is an important factor in the development of diabetic wounds. This article reviews the regulatory role of three common non-coding RNAs (microRNA [miRNA], long non-coding RNA [lncRNA], and circular RNA [circRNA]) in diabetic wounds and discusses the diagnosis, treatment potential, and challenges of non-coding RNA in diabetic wounds. This article provides insights into new strategies for diabetic wound diagnosis and treatment at the genetic and molecular levels.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), accounting for 90–95% cases of diabetes, is characterized by chronic inflammation. The mechanisms that control inflammation activation in T2DM are largely unexplored. Inflammasomes represent significant sensors mediating innate immune responses. The aim of this work is to present a review of links between the NLRP3 inflammasome, endothelial dysfunction, and T2DM. The NLRP3 inflammasome activates caspase-1, which leads to the maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β and interleukin 18. In this review, we characterize the structure and functions of NLRP3 inflammasome as well as the most important mechanisms and molecules engaged in its activation. We present evidence of the importance of the endothelial dysfunction as the first key step to activating the inflammasome, which suggests that suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome could be a new approach in depletion hyperglycemic toxicity and in averting the onset of vascular complications in T2DM. We also demonstrate reports showing that the expression of a few microRNAs that are also known to be involved in either NLRP3 inflammasome activation or endothelial dysfunction is deregulated in T2DM. Collectively, this evidence suggests that T2DM is an inflammatory disease stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines. Finally, studies revealing the role of glucose concentration in the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome are analyzed. The more that is known about inflammasomes, the higher the chances to create new, effective therapies for patients suffering from inflammatory diseases. This may offer potential novel therapeutic perspectives in T2DM prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process that is impaired under diabetes conditions. Chronic non-healing wounds in diabetes are some of the most expensive healthcare expenditures worldwide. Early diagnosis and efficacious treatment strategies are needed. microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of 18–25 nucleotide long RNAs, are important regulatory molecules involved in gene expression regulation and in the repression of translation, controlling protein expression in health and disease. Recently, miRNAs have emerged as critical players in impaired wound healing and could be targets for potential therapies for non-healing wounds. Here, we review and discuss the mechanistic background of miRNA actions in chronic wounds that can shed the light on their utilization as specific wound healing biomarkers.

Abstract
Diabetic macular edema (DME) remains a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. DME is commonly treated with intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-neutralizing antibodies. VEGF inhibitors (anti-VEGFs) are effective, but not all patients fully respond to them. Given the potential side effects, inconvenience, and high cost of anti-VEGFs, identifying who may not respond appropriately to them and why is essential. Herein we determine first the response to anti-VEGFs, using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography scans obtained from a cohort of patients with DME throughout the 1st year of treatment. We found that fluid fully cleared at some time during the 1st year in 28% of eyes ("full responders"); fluid cleared only partly in 66% ("partial responders"); and fluid remained unchanged in 6% ("nonresponders"). To understand this differential response, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from full responders and nonresponders, from subjects with diabetes but no DME, and from age-matched volunteers without diabetes. We differentiated these iPSCs into endothelial cells (iPSC-ECs). Monolayers of iPSC-ECs derived from patients with diabetes showed a marked and prolonged increase in permeability upon exposure to VEGF; the response was significantly exaggerated in iPSC-ECs from nonresponders. Moreover, phosphorylation of key cellular proteins in response to VEGF, including VEGFR2, and gene expression profiles, such as that of neuronal pentraxin 2, differed between full responders and nonresponders. In this study, iPSCs were used in order to predict patients' responses to anti-VEGFs and to identify key mechanisms that underpin the differential outcomes observed in the clinic. This approach identified NPTX2 as playing a significant role in patient-linked responses and as having potential as a new therapeutic target for DME.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic disorder is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide across developed as well as developing nations. Hyperglycemia is the core feature of the type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), following insulin deficiency and impaired insulin secretion or sensitivity leads insulin resistance (IR), respectively. Genetic and environmental factors attributed to the pathogenesis of DM and various therapeutic strategies are available for the prevention and treatment of T2DM. Among the numerous therapeutic approaches, the health effects of dietary/nutraceutical approach due to the presence of bioactive constituents, popularly termed phytochemicals are receiving special interest for pharmacological effects and therapeutic benefits. The phytochemicals classes, in particular sesquiterpenes received attention because of potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperglycemic effects and health benefits mediating modulation of enzymes, receptors, and signaling pathways deranged in DM and its complications. One of the terpene compounds, β-caryophyllene (BCP), received enormous attention because of its abundant occurrence, non-psychoactive nature, and dietary availability through consumption of edible plants including spices. BCP exhibit selective full agonism on cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R), an important component of endocannabinoid system, and plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism and represents the newest drug target for chronic inflammatory diseases. BCP also showed agonist action on peroxisome proliferated activated receptor subtypes, PPAR-α and PPAR-γ, the main target of currently used fibrates and imidazolidinones for dyslipidemia and IR, respectively. Many studies demonstrated its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, organoprotective, and antihyperglycemic properties. In the present review, the plausible therapeutic potential of BCP in diabetes and associated complications has been comprehensively elaborated based on experimental and a few clinical studies available. Further, the pharmacological and molecular mechanisms of BCP in diabetes and its complications have been represented using synoptic tables and schemes. Given the safe status, abundant natural occurrence, oral bioavailability, dietary use and pleiotropic properties modulating receptors and enzymes, BCP appears as a promising molecule for diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incisional hernias (IH) following a laparotomy, on average, occur in 10-20% of patients, however, little is known about its molecular basis. Thus, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms could lead to the identification of key target(s) to intervene pre-and post-operatively. METHODS We examined the current literature describing the molecular mechanisms of IH and overlap these factors with smoking, abdominal aortic aneurysm, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and diverticulitis. RESULTS The expression levels of collagen I and III, matrix metalloproteinases, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases are abnormal in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of IH patients and ECM disorganization has an overlap with these comorbid conditions. CONCLUSION Understanding the pathophysiology of IH development and associated risk factors will allow physicians to identify patients that may be at increased risk for IH and to possibly act preemptively to decrease the incidence of IH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have investigated microRNAs (miRNAs) in the detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Herein, the dysregulated direction of stress-related miRNAs used as biomarkers of T2DM are summarized and analyzed. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, and three Chinese databases were searched for case-control miRNA profiling studies about T2DM. A meta-analysis under a random effect was performed. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on different tissues and species. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to confirm the robustness among studies. The effect size was pooled using ln odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs), and P-values. RESULTS The present meta-analysis included 39 case-control studies with a total of 494 miRNAs. Only 33 miRNAs were reported in three or more studies and, of these, 18 were inconsistent in their direction of dysregulation. Two significantly dysregulated miRNAs (let-7 g and miR-155) were identified in the meta-analysis. Four miRNAs (miR-142-3p, miR-155, miR-21, and miR-34c-5p) were dysregulated in patients with T2DM, whereas five miRNAs (miR-146a, miR-199a-3p, miR-200b, miR-29b and miR-30e) were dysregulated in animal models of diabetes. In addition, two dysregulated miRNAs (miR-146a and miR-21) were highly cornea specific and heart specific. In sensitivity analysis, only miR-155 was still significantly dysregulated after removing studies with small sample sizes. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis revealed that 16 stress-related miRNAs were significantly dysregulated in T2DM. MiR-148b, miR-223, miR-130a, miR-19a, miR-26b and miR-27b were selected as potential circulating biomarkers of T2DM. In addition, miR-146a and miR-21 were identified as potential tissue biomarkers of T2DM.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders and is estimated to affect 400 million of 4.4% of population worldwide in the next 20 year. In diabetes, risk to develop vascular diseases is two-to four-fold increased. Ischemic tissue injury, such as refractory wounds and critical ischemic limb (CLI) are major ischemic vascular complications in diabetic patients where oxygen supplement is insufficient due to impaired angiogenesis/neovascularization. In spite of intensive studies, the underlying mechanisms of diabetes-impaired ischemic tissue injury remain incompletely understood. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been considered as a third gasotransmitter regulating angiogenesis under physiological and ischemic conditions. Here, the underlying mechanisms of insufficient H2S-impaired angiogenesis and ischemic tissue repair in diabetes are discussed. We will primarily focuses on the signaling pathways of H2S in controlling endothelial function/biology, angiogenesis and ischemic tissue repair in diabetic animal models. We summarized that H2S plays an important role in maintaining endothelial function/biology and angiogenic property in diabetes. We demonstrated that exogenous H2S may be a theraputic agent for endothelial dysfunction and impaired ischemic tissue repair in diabetes.

Impact of Anticoagulation and Sample Processing on the Quantification of Human Blood-Derived microRNA Signatures. Cells 2020; 9:cells9081915.

Abstract
Blood-derived microRNA signatures have emerged as powerful biomarkers for predicting and diagnosing cardiovascular disease, cancer, and metabolic disorders. Platelets and platelet-derived microvesicles are a major source of microRNAs. We have previously shown that the inappropriate anticoagulation and storage of blood samples causes substantial platelet activation that is associated with the release of platelet-stored molecules into the plasma. However, it is currently unclear if circulating microRNA levels are affected by artificial platelet activation due to suboptimal plasma preparation. To address this issue, we used a standardized RT-qPCR test for 12 microRNAs (thrombomiR®, TAmiRNA GmbH, Vienna, Austria) that have been associated with cardiovascular and thrombotic diseases and were detected in platelets and/other hematopoietic cells. Blood was prevented from coagulating with citrate–theophylline–adenosine–dipyridamole (CTAD), sodium citrate, or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and stored for different time periods either at room temperature or at 4 °C prior to plasma preparation and the subsequent quantification of microRNAs. We found that five microRNAs (miR-191-5p, miR-320a, miR-21-5p, miR-23a-3p, and miR-451a) were significantly increased in the EDTA plasma. Moreover, we observed a time-dependent increase in plasma microRNAs that was most pronounced in the EDTA blood stored at room temperature for 24 h. Furthermore, significant correlations between microRNA levels and plasma concentrations of platelet-stored molecules pointed towards in vitro platelet activation. Therefore, we strongly recommend to (i) use CTAD as an anticoagulant, (ii) process blood samples as quickly as possible, and (iii) store blood samples at 4 °C whenever immediate plasma preparation is not feasible to generate reliable data on blood-derived microRNA signatures.

Abstract
Diabetic chronic cutaneous ulcers (DCU) are one of the serious complications of diabetes mellitus, occurring mainly in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy. Recent studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) and their target genes are essential regulators of cell physiology and pathology including biological processes that are involved in the regulation of diabetes and diabetes-related microvascular complications. in vivo and in vitro models have revealed that the expression of some miRNAs can be regulated in the inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and wound remodelling of DCU. Nevertheless, the potential application of miRNAs to clinical use is still limited. Here, we provide a contemporary overview of the miRNAs as well as their associated target genes and pathways (including Wnt/β-catenin, NF-κB, TGF-β/Smad, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR) related to DCU healing. We also summarize the current development of drugs for DCU treatment and discuss the therapeutic challenges of DCU treatment and its future research directions.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the underlying mechanism of this impairment is still unclear. Fibroblast, as the main reconstructing cell, secretes some critical growth factors and cytokine contributing to wound healing. It is well known that DM alters the behavior of these cells and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) compensates some impairments in diabetic fibroblasts. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to demonstrate the impact of diabetes and the role of PBMT through low level laser irradiation on secretory profile of human diabetic fibroblasts. Primary human dermal fibroblasts from normal (HDFs) and diabetic (DHDFs) donors were harvested. For PBMT, the DHDFs were irradiated with a Helium-Neon laser at 632.8 nm wavelength and energy density of 0.5 J/cm2, as laser treated group (LT-DHDFs). Next, some cellular behaviors and secretory profiling array for 60 growth factors/cytokines were investigated in LT-DHDFs and then compared with those of controls. The data showed that the PBMT could compensate such impairments occurred in DHDFs in terms of viability, proliferation, and migration. Furthermore, considering our novel findings, out of those 20 growth factors/cytokines involved in cell proliferation, immune system regulation, and cell-cell communication pathways, which significantly decreased in DHDF as compared with HDFs, the PBMT could compensate seven in LT-DHDFs as compared with DHDFs. The seven growth factor/cytokines, which are mainly involved in cell-cell communication, positive regulation of cell proliferation, and chemokine mediated pathway included BDNF, Eotaxin-3, FGF6, FGF7, Fractalkine, fit-3ligand, and GCP-2. Therefore, it is suggested that scrutinizing these differentially secreted molecules and the impaired pathways in DHDFs, in combination with those compensated in LT-DHDFs, could raise our knowledge to manage diabetic ulcer through a feasible and cost effective intervention, specifically PBMT.

Abstract
AIMS Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used in diabetic foot ulceration (DFU). The molecular mechanisms of NPWT action, particularly outside of the wound site, have not been described. We assessed NPWT's effect on circulating miRNA expression levels in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with DFU. METHODS We examined 34 T2DM patients treated with either NPWT (n = 24) or standard therapy (ST, n = 10). The group assignment was based on clinical criteria and local practice. Next-generation sequencing-based microRNA expression was determined on the patient's plasma collected before therapy and after 8 days. RESULTS NPWT patients were similar to the ST group in terms of age, BMI, and HbA1c level; however, they differed by mean wound area (12.6 cm2 vs. 1.1 cm2 p = 0.0005). First, we analyzed the change of miRNA after NPWT or ST and observed an upregulation of let-7f-2 only in the NPWT group. Then, we analyzed the differential expression between NPWT and ST groups, looking at possible wound size effects. We found 12 differentially expressed miRNAs in pre-treatment comparison, including let-7f-2, while in post-treatment analysis we identified 28 miRNAs. The pathway enrichment analysis suggests that identified miRNAs may be involved in wound healing, particularly through angiogenesis. CONCLUSION We found initial evidence that NPWT in T2DM patients with DFU affects miRNA expression in plasma. Additionally, some differences in plasma miRNA expression may be related to wound size.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators in organ development. Among them, miR-191 is known to be regulated in early embryogenesis and dysregulated in cancer. This role in undifferentiated tissues suggests a possible part of miR-191 also in bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) physiology. Here, we report that miR-191 decreased MMP expression and migration of BMSCs. Conditioned media of miR-191 overexpressing BMSCs block VEGF expression, and inhibit angiogenesis of HUVECs. Under osteogenic culture conditions, inhibition of miR-191 significantly induces bone formation. Moreover, our studies showed miR-191 might influence chondrogenesis of BMSCs by directly targeting CCAAT Enhancer Binding Protein Beta (CEBPB). Taken together, here we demonstrate the role of miR-191 in differentiation, migration and paracrine function of BMSCs.
