Abstract
Soft tissue damage stimulates sympathetic nerves to release large amounts of catecholamine hormones which bind to β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) on the cell membrane surface. It activates the downstream effector molecules and impairs soft tissue wound healing. β-blockers specifically inhibit β-ARs activation in acute/chronic skin lesions and ulcerative hemangiomas. They also accelerate soft tissue wound healing by shortening the duration of inflammation, speeding keratinocyte migration and reepithelialization, promoting wound contraction and angiogenesis, and inhibiting bacterial virulence effects. In addition, β-blockers shorten wound healing periods in patients with severe thermal damage by reducing the hypermetabolic response. While β-blockers promote/inhibit corneal epithelial cell regeneration and restores limbal stem/progenitor cells function, it could well accelerate/delay corneal wound healing. Given these meaningful effects, a growing number of studies are focused on examining the efficacy and safety of β-blockers in soft tissue wound repair, including acute and chronic wounds, severe thermal damage, ulcerated infantile hemangioma, corneal wounds, and other soft tissue disorders. However, an intensive investigation on their acting mechanisms is imperatively needed. The purpose of this article is to summerize the roles of β-blockers in soft tissue wound healing and explore their clinical applications.

Abstract
The present work describes the synthesis, characterization, and wound healing properties of α/γ hybrid peptides: Boc-Phe-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe (S1), Boc-D Phe-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe (S2), Boc-Ala-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe (S3), Boc-D Ala-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe (S4), Boc-Leu-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe (S5), and Boc-D Leu-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe (S6). Peptides S1-S6 were screened against human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and RAW 264.7 cells. Among all, S1- and S2-treated cells exhibited high cell viability; S1 and S2 induced keratinocyte migration and inhibited the production of the cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. In vivo results demonstrated that the hybrid peptides S1 and S2 accelerate wound healing in Wistar rats with 83% and 88% at 50 μg/ml, and 74% and 76% at 25 μg/ml, respectively.

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
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ca2+ signalling mediated by the thermosensitive, non-selective, Ca2+ -permeable transient receptor potential channel TRPV3 is assumed to play a critical role in regulating several aspects of skin functions, such as keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, skin barrier formation and wound healing. Studying the function of TRPV3 in skin homeostasis, however, is still constrained by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological modulators of TRPV3. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH By screening an in-house compound library using fluorometric intracellular Ca2+ assays, we identified two chemically related hits. The more potent and efficient TRPV3 activator KS0365 was further evaluated in fluo-4-assisted Ca2+ assays, different Ca2+ imaging approaches, electrophysiological studies, cytotoxicity and migration assays. KEY RESULTS KS0365 activated recombinant and native mouse TRPV3 more potently and with a higher efficacy compared to 2-APB and did not activate TRPV1, TRPV2 or TRPV4 channels. The activation of TRPV3 by KS0365 super-additively accelerated the EGF-induced keratinocyte migration, which was inhibited by the TRP channel blocker ruthenium red or by siRNA-mediated TRPV3 knockdown. Moreover, KS0365 induced strong Ca2+ responses in migrating front cells and in leading edges of keratinocytes. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The selective TRPV3 activator KS0365 triggers increases in [Ca2+ ]i with most prominent signals in the leading edge, and accelerates migration of keratinocytes. TRPV3 activators may promote reepithelialization upon skin wounding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Migration of keratinocyte plays an essential role in wound healing. The proprietary platelet-rich plasma from human blood, named as Self-Growth Colony (SGC), functions in stimulating migration of wounded keratinocytes. And the growth factors, including VEGF, being enriched in SGC could account for this function. Scutellarin, an active phytochemical from root of Scutellaria barbata D. Don, has been proposed to have various pharmacological functions; however, the activity in epidermal skin cells is yet to be explored. Here, the role of scutellarin in potentiating the functionality of SGC to promote the regeneration of wounded keratinocyte was probed. METHODS Molecular docking and ultrafiltration-based LC-MS were performed to verify the binding between scutellarin and VEGF, which potentiated the VEGF-mediated functions. Scratch assay, performed on cultured keratinocytes, was to analyse the treatments of SGC and scutellarin in the process of wound healing. Western blot analysis was to confirm the involvement of signalling cascades in observed effects. RESULTS We have identified the binding of scutellarin with VEGF. The binding accounted for the potentiation role of scutellarin in skin regeneration, as triggered by SGC. The co-treatment of scutellarin and SGC onto scratched keratinocyte cultures was able to enhance the process of wound healing, i.e. scutellarin showed a potentiating effect to SGC. In addition, the potentiation of scutellarin was shown to be mediated by phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling. CONCLUSION These findings support the application of scutellarin as an enhancing agent in potentiating the SGC-mediated wound healing.

Abstract
Keratinocyte migration is initiated toward the wound skin barrier as a crucial process in wound healing. However, the migratory machinery used by keratinocytes is relatively unknown. Histamine signaling, including an increase in the Ca2+ signal, mediated the enhanced protein expression and chloride/bicarbonate exchange activity of anion exchanger AE2 in keratinocytes. In this study, we applied an agarose spot assay to induce a vectorial motion. The vectorial stimulation of the histamine-containing agarose spot enhanced the HaCaT keratinocyte migration, compared to non-directional stimulation. AE2 is associated with the vectorial movement of HaCaT keratinocytes. Enhanced expression of AE2 was mainly associated with an increase in Ca2+ and was abolished by the treatment with the Ca2+ chelating agent BAPTA-AM. These findings revealed that the directionality of Ca2+-exerted stimulation can play a prominent role in facilitating migration through the involvement of AE2 as a migratory machinery in HaCaT keratinocytes.

Abstract
This work aimed at developing a mouthwash based on liposomes loading Citrus limon var. pompia essential oil or citral to treat oropharyngeal diseases. Vesicles were prepared by dispersing phosphatidylcholine and pompia essential oil or citral at increasing amounts (12, 25 and 50 mg/mL) in water. Transparent vesicle dispersions were obtained by direct sonication avoiding the use of organic solvents. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) confirmed the formation of unilamellar, spherical and regularly shaped vesicles. Essential oil and citral loaded liposomes were small in size (~110 and ~100 nm, respectively) and negatively charged. Liposomes, especially those loading citral, were highly stable as their physico-chemical properties did not change during storage. The formulations were highly biocompatible against keratinocytes, were able to counteract the damages induced in cells by using hydrogen peroxide, and able to increase the rate of skin repair. In addition, liposomes loading citral at higher concentrations inhibited the proliferation of cariogenic bacterium.

Abstract
Although constituting the majority of the transcriptional output of the human genome, the functional importance of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has only recently been recognized. The role of lncRNAs in wound healing is virtually unknown. Our study focused on a skin-specific lncRNA, termed “wound and keratinocyte migration-associated lncRNA 1” (WAKMAR1), which is down-regulated in wound-edge keratinocytes of human chronic nonhealing wounds compared with normal wounds under reepithelialization. We identified WAKMAR1 as being critical for keratinocyte migration and its deficiency as impairing wound reepithelialization. Mechanistically, WAKMAR1 interacts with DNA methyltransferases and interferes with the promoter methylation of the E2F1 gene, which is a key transcription factor controlling a network of migratory genes. This line of evidence demonstrates that lncRNAs play an essential role in human skin wound healing. An increasing number of studies reveal the importance of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in gene expression control underlying many physiological and pathological processes. However, their role in skin wound healing remains poorly understood. Our study focused on a skin-specific lncRNA, LOC105372576, whose expression was increased during physiological wound healing. In human nonhealing wounds, however, its level was significantly lower compared with normal wounds under reepithelialization. We characterized LOC105372576 as a nuclear-localized, RNAPII-transcribed, and polyadenylated lncRNA. In keratinocytes, its expression was induced by TGF-β signaling. Knockdown of LOC105372576 and activation of its endogenous transcription, respectively, reduced and increased the motility of keratinocytes and reepithelialization of human ex vivo skin wounds. Therefore, LOC105372576 was termed “wound and keratinocyte migration-associated lncRNA 1” (WAKMAR1). Further study revealed that WAKMAR1 regulated a network of protein-coding genes important for cell migration, most of which were under the control of transcription factor E2F1. Mechanistically, WAKMAR1 enhanced E2F1 expression by interfering with E2F1 promoter methylation through the sequestration of DNA methyltransferases. Collectively, we have identified a lncRNA important for keratinocyte migration, whose deficiency may be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic wounds.

Abstract
CD9 is a trans-membrane protein, and has recently been implicated in different physiological and cellular processes, such as cell migration and adhesion. According to previous study, down-regulation of CD9 contributes to keratinocyte migration, critical for wound re-epithelialization. Nevertheless, it is widely believed that tetraspanin CD9 does not have ligands or function as the cell surface receptor, rather it is thought to associate with other transmembrane molecules, thereby mediate keratinocyte migration. Little is known about how CD9 associates with transmembrane molecules in migratory keratinocytes. Here, using confocal microscopy, we observed that tetraspanin CD9 and ADAM17 co-localized on the surface of keratinocytes in the course of wound repair in vivo and in vitro. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated a direct association between CD9 and ADAM17 in HaCaT cells and C57-MKs. Functional studies revealed that down-regulation or over-expression of CD9 exerted negative regulatory effects on ADAM17 sheddase activity. This activity is involved in CD9-regulated cell motility and migration. Further studies found that ADAM17 inhibitor-TAPI-2 or siADAM17 significantly abolished the enhanced effect of keratinocyte migration induced by CD9 down-regulation. Meanwhile, the sheddase activity of ADAM17 was inhibited by TAPI-2, which decreased this release of AREG and HB-EGF in CD9-silenced HaCat cells and C57-MKs. Importantly, neutralizing antibody against HB-EGF significant weakened keratinocyte migration and motility in CD9-silenced keratinocytes, and the inhibition of CD9-regulated keratinocyte migration by siADAM17 was rescued by addition of recombinant HB-EGF, activating EGFR/ERK pathway. Collectively, our results suggest that ADAM17 sheddase activity is activated by down-regulation of CD9, thereby mediating shedding of HB-EGF and activation of EGFR/ERK signaling, which crucially affects the keratinocyte migration and wound healing.

Abstract
An organized series of complicated biological and molecular phenomena is required for normal skin wound healing. These processes depend on normal cellular responses to cytokines, growth factors, and other mediators, such as clotting factors, prostaglandins, free radicals, and nitric oxide. In diabetic ulcers, impaired responses to these molecules lead to abnormalities in vascularization, innervation, matrix reconstruction, and reepithelialization of wounds. keratinocyte migration and proliferation on an extracellular matrix is critical in reepithelialization, but the response to growth factors is blunted in diabetes, including the insulin/IGF-1signaling axis. Ganglioside GM3, a sialylated epidermal glycosphingolipid, has been identified as a key mediator of the inhibition of insulin/IGF-1 signaling in response to factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and hyperglycemia. Decreased expression of GM3 and the enzyme required for its synthesis, GM3 synthase (GM3S), leads to increased insulin/IGF-1 receptor signaling and accelerated keratinocyte migration, even in the presence of high glucose levels. GM3 depletion in GM3S knockout diabetic mice and diet-induced diabetic mice treated topically with nanoconstruct-mediated GM3S-targeting gene regulation also accelerates wound healing. These recent observations, coupled with evidence that GM3 depletion reverses distal innervation abnormalities in diabetic mice, suggest that GM3-depleting strategies are a promising new approach for human diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Vimentin has been shown to be involved in wound healing, but its functional contribution to this process is poorly understood. Here we describe a previously unrecognized function of vimentin in coordinating fibroblast proliferation and keratinocyte differentiation during wound healing. Loss of vimentin led to a severe deficiency in fibroblast growth, which in turn inhibited the activation of two major initiators of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), TGF-β1 signaling and the Zinc finger transcriptional repressor protein Slug, in vimentin-deficient (VIM(-/-)) wounds. Correspondingly, VIM(-/-) wounds exhibited loss of EMT-like keratinocyte activation, limited keratinization, and slow reepithelialization. Furthermore, the fibroblast deficiency abolished collagen accumulation in the VIM(-/-) wounds. Vimentin reconstitution in VIM(-/-) fibroblasts restored both their proliferation and TGF-β1 production. Similarly, restoring paracrine TGF-β-Slug-EMT signaling reactivated the transdifferentiation of keratinocytes, reviving their migratory properties, a critical feature for efficient healing. Our results demonstrate that vimentin orchestrates the healing by controlling fibroblast proliferation, TGF-β1-Slug signaling, collagen accumulation, and EMT processing, all of which in turn govern the required keratinocyte activation.

Abstract
Restoration of epidermal barrier (epithelialization), is a major component of cutaneous response to stress imposed by wounding. Learning physiologic regulation of epithelialization may lead to novel treatments of chronic wounds. The non-canonical ligands of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors SLURP (secreted mammalian Ly-6/urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor-related proteins)-1 and -2 are produced by keratinocytes (KCs) and inflammatory cells to augment physiologic responses to non-neuronal acetylcholine, suggesting that they can affect wound epithelialization and inflammation. In this study, recombinant (r)SLURP-1 and -2 exhibited dose dependent effects on migration of cultured KCs, and monoclonal antibodies inactivating auto/paracrine SLURPs in mouse skin delayed wound epithelialization. While effects of rSLURPs on migration were opposite, with rSLURP-1 inhibiting and rSLURP-2 stimulating migration of KCs, each anti-SLURP antibody produced a negative effect on epithelialization in vivo, suggesting their more extensive than regulation of keratinocyte migration involvement in wound repair. Since inflammation plays an important role in stress response to wounding, we measured inflammation biomarkers in wounds treated with anti-SLURP antibodies. Both anti-SLURP-1 and -2 antibodies, or their mixture, caused significant elevation of wound myeloperoxidase, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα. Taken together, results of this study demonstrated that SLURP-1 slows crawling locomotion of KCs, and exhibits a strong anti-inflammatory activity in wound tissue. In contrast, SLURP-2 facilitates lateral migration of KCs, but shows a lesser anti-inflammatory capacity. Thus, combined biologic activities of both SLURPs may be required for normal stress response to skin wounding, which favors clinical trial of rSLURP-1 and -2 in wounds that fail to heal.

Abstract
Human antigen R (HuR) is a post-translational modifier of mRNAs rich in AU- and U-rich elements. These mRNAs typically code for proteins involved in cell growth and differentiation, signal transduction, transcriptional and translational control, apoptosis, nutrient transport and metabolism. Thus, HuR affects a variety of biological functions and processes. Via its effect on growth and cellular migration, HuR has been shown to enhance clinical progression of a number of cancers. Its role in wound healing remains unknown. In the present study, we evaluated HuR tissue expression in a cohort of chronic healed and non-healed leg ulcers. We also evaluated the effect of HuR knockdown on a number of cellular processes using the HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line. HuR was expressed in greater levels in the 'chronic healed' cohort of ulcers, compared to the 'chronic non-healed', although this failed to reach statistical significance (p=0.13). HuR knockdown resulted in greater cellular growth, faster progression through the cell cycle and reduced apoptosis. Furthermore, it reduced cellular adhesion rates without affecting migration. We, therefore, concluded that HuR promotes wound healing, primarily through its effect on cellular adhesion. It also slows cellular growth rate via its effect on both cell cycle progression and rates of apoptosis.
