Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:5668-5681. [PMID: 38921010 PMCID: PMC11202418 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46060339] [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: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Based on the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of clonidine in previous studies, we hypothesized that clonidine could accelerate wound healing in rats by regulating the expression of related cytokines. In this study, the wound healing effect of clonidine was evaluated using an excision wound model in diabetic rats and a HaCaT cell model. The wounds were treated daily with topical clonidine. The results analyzed by ImageJ2 software show that the wounds of the rats that were treated with 15 ng/mL clonidine recovered faster, and the wound size was also significantly reduced compared to the control group. Western blot assays determined that clonidine induced an increase in the expression of vascular growth factors, namely, Ang-1, Ang-2, and VEGF. Moreover, clonidine demonstrated a rescuing effect on JAK2 within the JAK/STAT pathway by inhibiting SOCS3 expression, leading to decreased SOCS3 levels and increased expression of JAK2 and phospho-STAT3. Histopathological analysis revealed that clonidine promoted complete epithelial repair and minimized inflammation in skin tissue. Additionally, clonidine stimulated HaCaT cell proliferation in vitro and enhanced cellular energy levels in the presence of AGEs. In conclusion, clonidine promoted vascular growth and wound healing by stimulating the expression of cytokines that are beneficial for wound healing.

Abstract
Inflammatory skin diseases include a series of disorders characterized by a strong activation of the innate and adaptive immune system in which proinflammatory cytokines play a fundamental role in supporting inflammation. Skin inflammation is a complex process influenced by various factors, including genetic and environmental factors, characterized by the dysfunction of both immune and non-immune cells. Psoriasis (PS) and atopic dermatitis (AD) are the most common chronic inflammatory conditions of the skin whose pathogeneses are very complex and multifactorial. Both diseases are characterized by an immunological dysfunction involving a predominance of Th1 and Th17 cells in PS and of Th2 cells in AD. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are intracellular proteins that control inflammatory responses by regulating various signaling pathways activated by proinflammatory cytokines. SOCS signaling is involved in the regulation and progression of inflammatory responses in skin-resident and non-resident immune cells, and recent data suggest that these negative modulators are dysregulated in inflammatory skin diseases such as PS and AD. This review focuses on the current understanding about the role of SOCS proteins in modulating the activity of inflammatory mediators implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases such as PS and AD.

Abstract
Impaired polarization of M1 to M2 macrophages has been reported in diabetic wounds. We aimed to improve this polarization by down-regulation of expression of the "Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3" (SOCS3) gene in macrophages. Two oligodeoxynucleotide (ASO) sequences were designed against SOC3 mRNA and were loaded to mannosylated-polyethyleneimine (Man-PEI). The optimum N/P ratio for Man-PEI-ASO was determined to be 8 based on loading efficiency, particle size, zeta potential, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity assay. pH stability of ASO in Man-PEI-ASO and its protection from DNase I was confirmed. After in vitro treatment of macrophages with Man-PEI-ASO, SOCS3 was downregulated, SOCS1 upregulated, and SOCS1/SOCS3 ratio increased. Also, expressions of macrophage markers of M2 (IL-10, Arg1, CD206) increased and those of M1 (IL-1β, NOS2, CD68) decreased, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) decreased while that of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 increased. All suggested a polarization into M2 phenotype. Finally, the Man-PEI-ASO was loaded in hydrogel and applied to a diabetic wound model in mice. It improved the healing to the level observed in non-diabetic wounds. We show that using antisense sequences against SOC3 mRNA, macrophage polarization could be directed into the M2 phenotype and healing of diabetic wound could be highly improved.

Abstract
Treatment of chronic diabetic wounds is an ongoing socio-economic challenge. Dysregulated signalling pathways characterise cells from chronic diabetic wounds. Photobiomodulation (PBM) stimulates healing by eliciting photochemical effects that affect gene regulation. JAK/STAT signalling is a primary signal transduction pathway involved in wound healing. This in vitro study aimed to determine if PBM at 830 nm and a fluence of 5 J/cm2 regulates genes related to JAK/STAT signalling in wounded and diabetic wounded fibroblast cells. A continuous wave diode laser (12.53 mW/cm2 ) was used to irradiate cells. Forty-eight hours post-PBM, RT-qPCR was used to analyse 84 genes related to JAK/STAT signalling. Five genes were upregulated and four downregulated in wounded cell models, while six genes were downregulated in diabetic wounded models. The results show drastic gene expression differences between wounded and diabetic wounded cell models in response to PBM using 830 nm.

Abstract
Although the proportion of ulcer patients with medical problems among the elderly has increased with the extension of human life expectancy, treatment efficiency is drastically low, incurring substantial social costs. MSCs have independent regeneration potential, making them useful in clinical trials of difficult-to-treat diseases. In particular, ADMSCs are promising in the stem cell therapy industry as they can be obtained in vast amounts using non-invasive methods. Furthermore, studies are underway to enhance the regeneration potential of ADMSCs using cytokines, growth factors, and gene delivery to generate highly functional ADMSCs. In this study, key regulators of wound healing, SOCS-1, -3, and -5, were combined to maximize the regenerative potential of ADMSCs in pressure ulcer treatments. After transfecting SOCS-1, -3, -5, and SOCS-com into ADMSCs using a non-viral method, the expression of the inflammatory factors TNF-alpha, INF-gamma, and IL-10 was confirmed. ADMSCs transfected with SOCS-com showed decreased overall expression of inflammatory factors and increased expression of anti-inflammatory factors. Based on these results, we implanted ADMSCs transfected with SOCS-com into a pressure ulcer mouse model to observe their subsequent wound-healing effects. Notably, SOCS-com improved wound closure in ulcers, and reconstruction of the epidermis and dermis was observed. The healing mechanism of ADMSCs transfected with SOCS-com was examined by RNA sequencing. Gene analysis results confirmed that expression changes occurred in genes of key regulators of wound healing, such as chemokines, MMP-1, 9, CSF-2, and IL-33, and that such genetic changes enhanced wound healing in ulcers. Based on these results, we demonstrate the potential of ADMSCs transfected with SOCS-com as an ulcer treatment tool.

Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2023; 197:110573.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of therapeutic strategies to improve wound healing in individual diabetic patients remains challenging. Stem cell-derived exosomes represent a promising nanomaterial, and microRNAs (miRNAs) can be isolated from them. It is important to identify the potential therapeutic role of specific miRNAs, given that miRNAs can play a therapeutic role. METHODS qPCR, flow cytometry, and western blotting were used to verify the effect of epidermal stem cell-derived exosomes (EpiSC-EXOs) on M2 macrophage polarization and SOCS3 expression. By screening key miRNAs targeting SOCS3 in EpiSC-EXOs by high-throughput sequencing, we verified the mechanism in vitro. Finally, an animal model was used to verify the effect of promoting healing. RESULTS The use of EpiSC-EXOs reduced SOCS3 expression and promoted M2 macrophage polarization. The abundant miR-203a-3p present in the EpiSC-EXOs specifically bound to SOCS3 and activated the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to induce M2 macrophage polarization. Treatment of the db/db mouse wound model with miR-203a-3p agomir exerted a pro-healing effect. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that the abundant miR-203a-3p present in EpiSC-EXOs can promote M2 macrophage polarization by downregulating SOCS3 and suggested that diabetic wounds can obtain better healing effects through this mechanism.

Abstract
Proliferation and migration of keratinocytes are vital processes for the successful epithelization specifically after wounding. MiR‐221 has been identified to play a potential role in promoting wound regeneration by inducing blood vessel formation. However, little is known about the role of miR‐221 in the keratinocyte proliferation and migration during wound healing. An in vivo mice wound‐healing model was generated; the expression levels of miR‐221 were assessed by qRT‐PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Initially, we found that miR‐221 was upregulated in the proliferative phase of wound healing. Further, in an in vivo wound‐healing mice model, targeted delivery of miR‐221 mimics accelerated wound healing. Contrastingly, inhibition of miR‐221 delayed healing. Additionally, we observed that overexpression of miR‐221 promoted cell proliferation and migration, while inhibition of miR‐221 had the opposite effects. Moreover, we identified SOCS7 as a direct target of miR‐221 in keratinocytes and overexpression of SOCS7 reversed the effects of miR‐221 in HaCaT keratinocytes. Finally, we identified that YB‐1 regulates the expression of miR‐221 in HaCaT keratinocytes. Overall, our experiments suggest that miR‐221 is regulated by YB‐1 in HaCaT keratinocytes and acts on SOCS7, thereby playing an important role in HaCaT keratinocyte proliferation and migration during wound healing.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) imparts therapeutically significant benefits in the healing of chronic wounds. Chronic wounds develop when the stages of wound healing fail to progress in a timely and orderly frame, and without an established functional and structural outcome. Therapeutic benefits associated with PBM include augmenting tissue regeneration and repair, mitigating inflammation, relieving pain, and reducing oxidative stress. PBM stimulates the mitochondria, resulting in an increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and the downstream release of growth factors. The binding of growth factors to cell surface receptors induces signalling pathways that transmit signals to the nucleus for the transcription of genes for increased cellular proliferation, viability, and migration in numerous cell types, including stem cells and fibroblasts. Over the past few years, significant advances have been made in understanding how PBM regulates numerous signalling pathways implicated in chronic wound repair. This review highlights the significant role of PBM in the activation of several cell signalling pathways involved in wound healing.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to evaluate the most effective technique for extraction of phenolics present in flax shives and to assess their effect on human fibroblasts. Flax shives are by-products of fibre separation, but they were found to be a rich source of phenolic compounds and thus might have application potential. It was found that the optimal procedure for extraction of phenolics was hydrolysis enhanced by the ultrasound with NaOH for 24 h at 65°C and subsequent extraction with ethyl acetate. The influence of the flax shives extract on fibroblast growth and viability was assessed using the MTT and SRB tests. Moreover, the influence of flax shives extract on the extracellular matrix remodelling process was verified. The 20% increase of the viability was observed upon flax shives extract treatment and the decrease of mRNA collagen genes, an increase of matrix metalloproteinase gene expression, and reduction in levels of interleukin 6, interleukin 10, and suppressor of cytokinin signaling 1 mRNA were observed. Alterations in MCP-1 mRNA levels were dependent on flax shives extract concentration. Thus, we suggested the possible application of flax shives extract in the wound healing process.

Abstract
Wound healing and the management of chronic wounds represent a significant burden on the NHS. Members of the suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) family have been implicated in the regulation of a range of cellular processes. The current study aims to explore the importance of SOCS-3 and SOCS-4 in regulating cellular traits associated with wound healing. SOCS-3 over-expression and SOCS-4 knockdown mutant lines were generated and verified using q-PCR and western blotting in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and endothelial cells (HECV). Over-expression of SOCS-3 resulted in a significantly reduced proliferative rate in HaCaT keratinocytes and also enhanced the tubule formation capacity of HECV cells. SOCS-4 knockdown significantly reduced HaCaT migration and HECV cell tubule formation. Suppression of SOCS-4 influenced the responsiveness of HaCaT and HECV cells to EGF and TGFβ and resulted in a dysregulation of phospho-protein expression in HaCaT cells. SOCS-3 and SOCS-4 appear to play regulatory roles in a number of keratinocyte and endothelial cellular traits associated with the wound healing process and may also be able to regulate the responsiveness of these cells to EGF and TGFβ. This implies a potential regulatory role in the wound healing process and, thus highlights their potential as novel therapies.
