ABSTRACT
Chronic wounds are a serious healthcare problem. As non-healing wounds involve continuous pathologic inflammatory stage, research is focused on anti-inflammatory treatments. Our objective was to analyze the effect of S42909, a potent NADPH oxidase inhibitor activity, with vascular anti-inflammatory properties. An ischemic rabbit ear ulcer model (24 New Zealand white rabbits) was used to evaluate the reepithelialization/contraction areas, anti-/pro-inflammatory cytokines mRNA (TGF-ß1/IL-10/IFN-γ/VEGF) by qRT-PCR, collagen I/III deposition, and neovascularization (TGF-ß1/VEGF) by morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. Three different doses were administered by gavage for 2 weeks 10 and 30 mg/kg/d in self-microemulsion drug delivery system (SMEDDS) and 100 mg/kg/d in arabic gum. Each vehicle was used as control. No signs of infection or necrosis were found. Reepithelialization was almost complete whatever the groups reaching 95% at the dose of 100 mg/kg. Wound contraction was significantly reduced in all S42909-treated groups. A significant increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-ß1 mRNA and IL-10 mRNA was observed at the dose of 100 and 30 mg/kg/d, respectively. No changes were observed in pro-inflammatory factors INF-γ and VEGF mRNA. Ischemic skin wound areas had scarce expression of collagen I/III and showed rich glycosaminoglycans content. Treatment increased the collagen deposition and TGF-ß1 protein expression and decreased glycosaminoglycan content dose dependently; however, no effect in VEGF was appreciated. Therefore, our results indicate that S42909 improved healing process by dampening excessive inflammation and facilitating collagen deposition without wound contraction phenomena. S42909 might be a promising therapy to treat chronic wounds as venous leg ulcers.
