RESUMO

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have gained great attention and have been widely used in cell-free therapies for treating diabetic non-healing wounds in recent years. However, further clinical application of ADSC-sEVs have been limited due to their unsolvable defects, including cumbersome extraction procedure, high cost, low yield, etc. Thus, we urgently need to find one therapeutic reagent that could not only accelerate diabetic wound healing as ADSC-sEVs but also overcome these shortcomings. As the extraction process of adipose tissue-derived sEVs (AT-sEVs) is quite simple and labor saving, we put our focus on the efficiencies of white adipose tissue-derived sEVs (WAT-sEVs) and brown adipose tissue-derived sEVs (BAT-sEVs) in diabetic wound repair. After successfully isolating WAT-sEVs and BAT-sEVs by ultracentrifugation, we thoroughly characterized them and compared their diabetic wound healing capabilities both in vitro and in vivo. According to our study, AT-sEVs possess similar competence in diabetic wound healing as compared with ADSC-sEVs. While the effect of BAT-sEVs is not as stable as WAT-sEVs and ADSC-sEVs, the repair efficiency is also slightly lower than the other two sEVs in some cases. In summary, we are the first to discover that WAT-sEVs show great potential in diabetic wound repair. With advantages that are specific to tissue-derived sEVs (Ti-sEVs) such as time- and cost-saving, high-yield, and simple isolation procedure, we believe WAT-sEVs could serve as a novel reliable cell-free therapy for clinical diabetic wound treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Paronychia is a prevalent clinical disease affecting the soft tissue surrounding the nails. Most cases of toenail paronychia are commonly associated with ingrown toenails. While conservative treatment is effective for mild cases of ingrown toenails, surgical intervention becomes necessary for moderate to severe cases, particularly when granulomas form. OBJECTIVE: To provide a systematic understanding of these classic and modified procedures for surgeons to select the appropriate surgical interventions for patients suffering from moderate to severe ingrown toenails and discuss this technology's advantages and limitations for dermatologic surgery. METHODS: A literature search was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases. Studies discussing surgical intervention for ingrown toenails were included. Moreover, the surgical steps were meticulously depicted by detailed schematic diagrams. RESULTS: These surgical techniques can be divided into three categories: matrix resection, debulking of periungual soft tissues, and the rotational flap technique. Each approach possesses distinct advantages and limitations. CONCLUSION: For moderate to severe cases, surgical interventions may exhibit superior outcomes, faster recovery times, and lower recurrence rates. The surgeon must possess a comprehensive understanding and proficient skillset in various surgical techniques for ingrown toenails.

RESUMO

It is a widespread and difficult problem that refractory diabetic wounds have a poor local environment and prolonged inflammatory irritation. Tumor cell-derived exosomes play an important role in the development of tumors, as they can promote tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and enhance tumor cell activity. However, tumor tissue-derived exosomes (Ti-Exos) have been less studied, and it is unclear how they affect wound healing. In this study, we extracted Ti-Exos from human oral squamous carcinoma and paracancerous tissue by ultracentrifugation, size exclusion chromatography, and ultrafiltration and performed exosome characterization. In vitro, the oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue-derived exosomes (OSCC Ti-Exos) promoted the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts. In addition, in vivo experiments showed that the OSCC Ti-Exos accelerated the healing of diabetic wounds and were safe in mice. In contrast, there was no promoting effect of paracancerous tissue-derived exosomes either in vivo or in vitro. In conclusion, OSCC Ti-Exos promoted the healing of diabetic wounds, demonstrated preliminary biosafety in mice, and have promise as therapeutic applications.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Diabetic wound healing has become a public health issue that lacks effective treatment. We collected oral squamous cell carcinoma samples and paracancerous tissue and extracted Ti-Exos for verification. In vitro assays revealed that OSCC Ti-EVs could enhance the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts in diabetic cell model. In vivo assays also verified that OSCC Ti-Exos could promote diabetic wound healing, demonstrated preliminary biosafety in mice, and have promise as therapeutic applications.

RESUMO

Diabetic wounds nowadays have become a major health challenge with the changes of the disease spectrum. Mitochondria are closely associated with stubborn nonhealing diabetic wounds for their vital role in energy metabolism, redox homeostasis, and signal transduction. There is significant mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in diabetic wounds. However, the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction in oxidative stress induced nonhealing diabetic wound is still not fully understood. In this review, we will briefly summarize the current knowledge of the reported signaling pathways and therapeutic strategies involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic wounds. The findings provide further understanding of strategies that focus on mitochondria in diabetic wound treatment.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Ischemic diseases caused by diabetes continue to pose a major health challenge and effective treatments are in high demand. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived exosomes have aroused broad attention as a cell-free treatment for ischemic diseases. However, the efficacy of exosomes from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exos) in treating diabetic lower limb ischemic injury remains unclear. METHODS: Exosomes were isolated from ADSCs culture supernatants by differential ultracentrifugation and their effect on C2C12 cells and HUVECs was assessed by EdU, Transwell, and in vitro tube formation assays separately. The recovery of limb function after ADSC-Exos treatment was evaluated by Laser-Doppler perfusion imaging, limb function score, and histological analysis. Subsequently, miRNA sequencing and rescue experiments were performed to figure out the responsible miRNA for the protective role of ADSC-Exos on diabetic hindlimb ischemic injury. Finally, the direct target of miRNA in C2C12 cells was confirmed by bioinformatic analysis and dual-luciferase report gene assay. RESULTS: ADSC-Exos have the potential to promote proliferation and migration of C2C12 cells and to promote HUVECs angiogenesis. In vivo experiments have shown that ADSC-Exos can protect ischemic skeletal muscle, promote the repair of muscle injury, and accelerate vascular regeneration. Combined with bioinformatics analysis, miR-125b-5p may be a key molecule in this process. Transfer of miR-125b-5p into C2C12 cells was able to promote cell proliferation and migration by suppressing ACER2 overexpression. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed that miR-125b-5p derived from ADSC-Exos may play a critical role in ischemic muscle reparation by targeting ACER2. In conclusion, our study may provide new insights into the potential of ADSC-Exos as a treatment option for diabetic lower limb ischemia.

RESUMO

The treatment of diabetic wounds remains challenging due to the excess levels of oxidative stress, vulnerability to bacterial infection, and persistent inflammation response during healing. The development of hydrogel wound dressings with ideal anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and anti-infective properties is an urgent clinical requirement. In the present study, an injectable thermosensitive niobium carbide (Nb2 C)-based hydrogel (Nb2 C@Gel) with antioxidative and antimicrobial activity is developed to promote diabetic wound healing. The Nb2 C@Gel system is composed of Nb2 C and a PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymer. The fabricated Nb2 C nanosheets (NSs) show good biocompatibility during in vitro cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility assays and in vivo toxicity assays. In vitro experiments show that Nb2 C NSs can efficiently eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus protecting cells in the wound from oxidative stress damage. Meanwhile, Nb2 C NSs also exhibit good near-infrared (NIR) photothermal antimicrobial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In vivo results demonstrate that Nb2 C@Gel promotes wound healing by attenuating ROS levels, reducing oxidative damage, eradicating bacterial infection under NIR irradiation, and accelerating angiogenesis. To summarize, the Nb2 C@Gel system, with its ROS-scavenging, photothermal antimicrobial and hemostatic activities, can be a promising and effective strategy for the treatment of diabetic wounds.

RESUMO

Clinical work and research on diabetic wound repair remain challenging globally. Although various conventional wound dressings have been continuously developed, the efficacy is unsatisfactory. The effect of drug delivery is limited by the depth of penetration. The sustained release of biomolecules from biological wound dressings is a promising treatment approach to wound healing. An assortment of cell-derived exosomes (exos) have been proved to be instrumental in tissue regeneration, and researchers are dedicated to developing biomolecules carriers with unique properties. Herein, we reported a methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) microneedles (MNs) patch to achieve transdermal and controlled release of exos and tazarotene. Our MNs patch comprising GelMA/PEGDA hydrogel has distinctive biological features that maintain the biological activity of exos and drugs in vitro. Additionally, its unique physical structure prevents it from being tightly attached to the skin of the wound, it promotes cell migration, angiogenesis by slowly releasing exos and tazarotene in the deep layer of the skin. The full-thickness cutaneous wound on a diabetic mouse model was carried out to demonstrate the therapeutic effects of GelMA/PEGDA@T + exos MNs patch. As a result, our GelMA/PEGDA@T + exos MNs patch presents a potentially valuable method for repairing diabetic wound in clinical applications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sestrin2 (SESN2), a stress-inducible protein, has been reported to protect against denervated muscle atrophy through unfolded protein response and mitophagy, while its role in myofiber type transition remains unknown. METHODS: A mouse sciatic nerve transection model was created to evaluate denervated muscle atrophy. Myofiber type transition was confirmed by western blot, fluorescence staining, ATP quantification, and metabolic enzyme activity analysis. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) was adopted to achieve SESN2 knockdown and overexpression in gastrocnemius. AMPK/PGC-1α signal was detected by western blot and activated with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR). C2C12 myotubes with rotenone treatment were adopted for in vitro experiments. RESULTS: SESN2 was found to be upregulated in denervated skeletal muscles and rotenone-treated C2C12 cells. Knockdown of SESN2 aggravated muscle atrophy and accelerated myofiber type transition from slow-twitch to fast-twitch. Moreover, AMPK/PGC-1α signaling was proven to be activated by SESN2 after denervation, which further induced the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor HIF2α. Exogenous activation of AMPK/PGC-1α signaling could counteract the addition of slow-to-fast myofiber shift caused by SESN2 knockdown and lead to the retainment of muscle mass after denervation. CONCLUSION: Collectively, the present study indicates that SESN2 prevents myofiber type transition from slow-twitch to fast-twitch and preserves muscle mass in denervated atrophy via AMPK/PGC-1α signaling. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of muscle atrophy and provide novel insights into the role of SESN2 in myofiber type transition.

RESUMO

As one of the most common pathological processes in the clinic, wound healing has always been an important topic in medical research. Improving the wound healing environment, shortening the healing time and promoting fast and effective wound healing are hot and challenging issues in clinical practice. The nuclear factor-erythroid-related factor 2 (NFE2L2 or NRF2) signalling pathway reduces oxidative damage and participates in the regulation of anti-oxidative gene expression in the process of oxidative stress and thus improves the cell protection. Activation of the NRF2 signalling pathway increases the resistance of the cell to chemical carcinogens and inflammation. The signal transduction pathway regulates anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects by regulating calcium ions, mitochondrial oxidative stress, autophagy, ferroptosis, pyroptosis and apoptosis. In this article, the role of the NRF2 signalling pathway in wound healing and its research progress in recent years are reviewed. In short, the NRF2 signalling pathway has crucial clinical significance in wound healing and is worthy of further study.

RESUMO

Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have a potential for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Recent studies demonstrated that stem cells can mediate therapeutic effect by secreting exosomes. We aimed to investigate the effect of human ASCs derived exosomes (ASC-Exos) on peripheral nerve regeneration in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed after being internalized by Schwann cells (SCs), ASC-Exos significantly promoted SC proliferation, migration, myelination, and secretion of neurotrophic factors by upregulating corresponding genes in vitro. We next evaluated the efficacy of ASC-Exo therapy in a rat sciatic nerve transection model with a 10-mm gap. Axon regeneration, myelination, and restoration of denervation muscle atrophy in ASC-Exos treated group was significantly improved compared to vehicle control. This study demonstrates that ASC-Exos effectively promote peripheral nerve regeneration via optimizing SC function and thereby represent a novel therapeutic strategy for regenerative medicine and nerve tissue engineering.

RESUMO

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is considered to be the most frequent neuropathic complication of diabetes, and severely affects the quality of life of patients. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in various pathophysiological processes and associate with many diseases. However, the exact impact of lncRNAs on DPN remains obscure. To discover a potential connection, a microarray study was conducted to analyze the expression profiling of lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with DPN. As a result, 983 lncRNAs and 1357 mRNAs were aberrantly expressed compared with control samples. Using bioinformatics analyses, we identified 558 Gene Ontology terms and 94 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways to be significantly enriched. Additionally, the signal-net analysis indicated that integrin receptors, including Itgb3, Itgb1, Itgb8, and Itga6, might be important players in network regulation. Furthermore, the lncRNA-mRNA network analysis showed dynamic interactions between the dysregulated lncRNAs and mRNAs. This is the first study to present an overview of lncRNA and mRNA expressions in DRG tissues from DPN rats. Our results indicate that these differentially expressed lncRNAs may have crucial roles in pathological processes of DPN by regulating their coexpressed mRNAs. The data may provide novel targets for future studies, which should focus on validating their roles in the progression of DPN.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AIMS: Tissue engineering technology is a promising therapeutic strategy in peripheral nerve injury. Schwann cells (SCs) are deemed to be a vital component of cell-based nerve regeneration therapies. Many methods for producing SC-like cells derived from adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) have been explored, but their phenotypic and functional characteristics remain unsatisfactory. METHODS: We investigated whether human ADSCs can be induced to differentiate into mature and stable SC-like cells with the addition of insulin, progestero``ne and glucocorticoids. The phenotypic and functional characteristics of new differentiated ADSCs (modified SC-like cells) were evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunocytochemistry in vitro. Cells loaded into collagen sponge biomaterials were implanted around transected sciatic nerves with a 10-mm gap in vivo. The axon regrowth and functional recovery of the regenerated nerves were assessed by immunohistochemistry and Walking footprint analysis. RESULTS: After differentiation induction, the modified SC-like cells showed significantly up-regulated levels of S100B and P0 and enhanced proliferative and migratory capacities. In addition, the modified SC-like cells showed increased secretion of neurotrophic factors, and their functional characteristics were maintained for more than 3 weeks after removing the induction reagents. The modified SC-like cells exhibited significantly enhanced axon regrowth, myelination and functional recovery after sciatic nerve injury. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the results suggest that this modified induction method can induce human ADSCs to differentiate into cells with the molecular and functional properties of mature SCs and increase the promotion of peripheral nerve regeneration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-ß1) is a classical modulator of skeletal muscle and regulates several processes, such as myogenesis, regeneration and muscle function in skeletal muscle diseases. Skeletal muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle strength and mass, is one of the pathological conditions regulated by TGF-ß1, but the underlying mechanism involved in the atrophic effects of TGF-ß1 is not fully understood. METHODS: Mice sciatic nerve transection model was created and gastrocnemius were analysed by western blot, immunofluorescence staining and fibre diameter quantification after 2 weeks. Exogenous TGF-ß1 was administrated and high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), autophagy were blocked by siRNA and chloroquine (CQ) respectively to explore the mechanism of the atrophic effect of TGF-ß1 in denervated muscle. Similar methods were performed in C2C12 cells. RESULTS: We found that TGF-ß1 was induced in denervated muscle and it could promote atrophy of skeletal muscle both in vivo and in vitro, up-regulated HMGB1 and increased autophagy activity were also detected in denervated muscle and were further promoted by exogenous TGF-ß1. The atrophic effect of TGF-ß1 could be inhibited when HMGB1/autophagy pathway was blocked. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, our data revealed that TGF-ß1 is a vital regulatory factor in denervated skeletal muscle in which HMGB1/ autophagy pathway mediates the atrophic effect of TGF-ß1. Our findings confirmed a new pathway in denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and it may be a novel therapeutic target for patients with muscle atrophy after peripheral nerve injury.

RESUMO

Neuroactive steroids such as progesterone, testosterone, and their derivatives have been widely studied for their neuroprotective roles in the nervous system. Autologous nerve transplantation is considered as the gold standard repair technique when primary suture is impossible; nevertheless, this method is far from ideal. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a 5α-reduced derivative of testosterone, on the recovery of peripheral nerve injury treated with autologous nerve transplantation. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a 10-mm right side sciatic nerve reversed autologous nerve transplantation and randomly divided into groups that received DHT or DHT + flutamide (an androgen receptor blocker) daily for 8 weeks after operation. Our results demonstrated that DHT could speed up the rate of axonal regeneration and increase the expression of myelin protein zero (P0) in autograft reversal sciatic nerves. Thus, our study provided new insights into improving the prognosis of patients with long gap peripheral nerve defects.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) combined with Dezawa's method on the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) into schwann-like cells. RESULTS: Compared to the Dezawa's method, schwann-like cells obtained from our modified method were longer and thinner and exhibited a typical bipolar or tripolar shape. These cells had a higher mRNA expression of S100 and myelin protein zero (P0), about 1.7- and 2.5-fold respectively, while the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) mRNA level was decreased about 92 %. No significant difference in peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) mRNA expression was found. Immunofluorescence and Western blot showed the similar results. CONCLUSION: DHT in combination with Dezawa's method to induce a BMSCs to differentiate into schwann-like cells with higher expression of P0, which might be more effective in clinical application than previous method for nerve regeneration.

RESUMO

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered to be a new generation of bioinspired nanoscale drug delivery systems due to their low immunogenicity, natural functionality, and excellent biocompatibility. However, limitations such as low uptake efficiency, insufficient production, and inhomogeneous performance undermine their potential. To address these issues, numerous researchers have put forward various methods and applications for enhancing EV uptake in recent decades. In this review, we introduce various methods for the cellular uptake of EVs and summarize recent advances on the methods and mechanisms for enhancing EV uptake. In addition, we provide further understanding regarding enhancing EV uptake and put forward prospects and challenges for the development of EV-based therapy in the future.

RESUMO

The healing of diabetic wounds is significantly impeded due to severe oxidative stress and hindered angiogenesis, presenting a major challenge to clinical treatment. In this context, we introduces a novel hydrogel dressing strategy that uniquely combines α-lipoic acid-modified chitosan (LAMC) and melanin nanoparticles (MNPs). This innovative hydrogel, LAMC@MNPs, is formulated to gel under ultraviolet (UV) light without the need for a photoinitiator, simplifying the preparation process and potentially enhancing safety. Our experimental results demonstrate that the LAMC@MNPs hydrogel not only exhibits superior skin adhesion, with an average strength of 56.59 ± 3.16 KPa, but also effectively alleviates oxidative stress and accelerates vascular regeneration and wound healing. This is achieved by promoting cell migration and scavenging free radicals, addressing the critical barriers in diabetic wound care. The combination of these materials and their functional benefits presents a promising new approach to diabetic wound treatment.

RESUMO

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been widely applied in translational and regenerative medicine. During aging, there is a recognized functional decline in ADSCs, which compromises their therapeutic effectiveness. Currently, the mechanisms of aging-induced stem cell dysfunction remain unclear, hence there is a need to elucidate these mechanisms and propose strategies for reversing this functional impairment. In this study, we found that ADSCs isolated from old donors (O-ADSCs) presented inferior phenotypes and decreased miR-145-5p levels compared to those from young donors (Y-ADSCs). To interrogate the role of miR-145-5p in ADSCs, gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed. The results indicated that miR-145-5p overexpression in O-ADSCs promoted cellular proliferation and migration, while reducing cell senescence. Further study demonstrated that miR-145-5p could regulate ADSCs function by targeting bone morphogenetic protein binding endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator (BMPER), which is a crucial modulator in angiogenesis. Moreover, in vivo experiments showed that miR-145-5p-overexpressing O-ADSCs accelerated wound healing by promoting wound re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. Collectively, this study indicates that miR-145-5p works as a positive regulator for optimizing O-ADSCs function, and may be a novel therapeutic target for restoring aging-associated impairments in stem cell function.

RESUMO

Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process, it's urgent to develop new wound dressings with excellent performance to promote wound healing at the different stages. Here, a novel composite hydrogel dressing composed by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) impregnated adenine-modified chitosan (CS-A) and octafunctionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) of benzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (POSS-PEG-CHO) solution was presented to solve the problem of wound infection. Modification of chitosan with adenine, not only can improve the water solubility of chitosan, but also introduce bioactive substances to promote cell proliferation. CS-A and POSS-PEG-CHO were cross-linked by Schiff-base reaction to form the injectable self-healing hydrogel. On this basis, AgNPs were added into the hydrogel, which endows the hydrogel with better antibacterial activity. Moreover, this kind of hydrogel exhibits excellent cell proliferation properties. Studies demonstrated that the hydrogel can significantly accelerate the closure of infected wounds. The histological analysis and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that the wounds treated with the composite hydrogel exhibited fewer inflammatory cells, more collagen deposition and angiogenesis, faster regeneration of epithelial tissue. Above all, adenine-modified chitosan composite hydrogel with AgNPs loaded was considered as a dressing material with great application potential for promoting the healing of infected wounds.

RESUMO

Infected diabetic wounds have been raising the global medical burden because of its high occurrence and resulting risk of amputation. Impaired endothelium has been well-documented as one of the most critical reasons for unhealed wounds. Recently, endothelial cell-derived nanovesicles (NVs) were reported to facilitate angiogenesis, whereas their efficacy is limited in infected diabetic wounds because of the complex niche. In this study, extrusion-derived endothelial NVs were manufactured and then hybridized with rhamnolipid liposomes to obtain biomimetic hybrid nanovesicles (HNVs). The HNVs were biocompatible and achieved endothelium-targeted delivery through membrane CXCR4-mediated homologous homing. More importantly, the HNVs exhibited better penetration and antibacterial activity compared with NVs, which further promote the intrinsic endothelium targeting in infected diabetic wounds. Therefore, the present research has established a novel bioactive delivery system-HNV with enhanced targeting, penetration, and antibacterial activity-which might be an encouraging strategy for infected diabetic wound treatment.
