ABSTRACT
Skin wound healing involves Notch/Jagged1 signaling. However, little is known how Jag1 expression level in epidermal stem cells (ESCs) contributes to wound healing and scar formation. We applied multiple cellular and molecular techniques to examine how Jag1 expression in ESCs modulates ESCs differentiation to myofibroblasts (MFB) in vitro, interpret how Jag1 expression in ESCs is involved in wound healing and scar formation in mice, and evaluate the effects of porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM) treatment on wound healing and scar formation. We found that Jag1, Notch1 and Hes1 expression was up-regulated in the wound tissue during the period of wound healing. Furthermore, Jag1 expression level in the ESCs was positively associated with the level of differentiation to MFB. ESC-specific knockout of Jag1 delayed wound healing and promoted scar formation in vivo. In addition, we reported that porcine ADM treatment after skin incision could accelerate wound closure and reduce scar formation in vivo. This effect was associated with decreased expression of MFB markers, including α-SMA Col-1 and Col-III in wound tissues. Finally, we confirmed that porcine ADM treatment could increase Jag1, Notch1 and Hesl expression in wound tissues. Taken together, our results suggested that ESC-specific Jag1 expression levels are critical for wound healing and scar formation, and porcine ADM treatment would be beneficial in promoting wound healing and preventing scar formation by enhancing Notch/Jagged1 signaling pathway in ESCs.
