The stimuli for the increase in epidermal mitosis during wound healing are not fully known. We construct a mathematical model which suggests that biochemical regulation of mitosis is fundamental to the process, and that a single chemical with a simple regulatory effect can account for the healing of circular epidermal wounds. The numerical results of the model compare well with experimental data. We investigate the model analytically by making biologically relevant approximations. We then obtain travelling wave solutions which provide information about the accuracy of these approximations and clarify the roles of the various model parameters. 相似文献

Recent experiments on the response of embryonic epidermis to wounding have revealed a cable of filamentous actin at the wound edge, which may be responsible for healing (Martin and Lewis 1991, 1992). We investigate the important question of how the cable forms as a response to wounding. We modify the mechanical model of Murray and Oster (1984) to investigate the post-wounding equilibrium in the epidermal sheet. We analyse the model in both one-dimensional and radially symmetric two-dimensional geometries, to determine the parameter domain in which a solution exists. We show that in both geometries the model solutions reflect the phenomenon of the actin cable for parameter values close to one edge of this domain. We interpret these results in terms of the relative rates of intracellular reorganization of actin and myosin, and thus suggest a possible mechanism for the formation of the actin cable. 相似文献

The emergence of drug-resistant organisms have been increasing globally; therefore, it is a burning need to find an alternative drug to get rid of the diseases caused by resistant strains. This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial and wound healing activities of Loranthus acacia, Cassia obtusifolia and Cymbopogon proximus plants. All the plants were collected and extracted — by maceration method. Antimicrobial activities determined using standard ATCC strain for Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus crew, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Shigella sonnnei, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pnuemoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) following agar well diffusion method. Plants extracts were prepared as gel and investigated for in vivo wound healing activities in rats. Histological studies were performed on animals’ skin. The results showed that all tested plants have various antimicrobial and wound healing activities. Out of these plants, L. acacia exhibited the best result; it revealed a significant result for antimicrobial activities counter to all Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and wound healing activities in comparing with the reference drug. Thus, it is essential to consider L. acacia as a prospective source in progress in the synthesis of a new antimicrobial drug for the treatment of infectious diseases. 相似文献

Cutaneous wound healing is a highly coordinated physiological process that rapidly and efficiently restores skin integrity. Reepithelization is a crucial step during wound healing, which involves migration and proliferation of keratinocytes to cover the denuded dermal surface. Recent advances in wound biology clarified the molecular pathways governing keratinocyte reepithelization at wound sites. These new findings point towards novel therapeutic targets and provide suitable methods to promote faster tissue regeneration in vivo. 相似文献

Endothelin-1 is involved in physiology and pathophysiology of the alimentary tract. The peptide modulates blood flow in the gastrointestinal microvasculature and regulates contractility of smooth muscles and, when present in excess, may be an important factor contributing to pathogenesis of various forms of mucosal injury and peristaltic disorders. Mechanisms that regulate endothelin concentration in the gastrointestinal tissues are unknown. Therefore, the aim of our study was to identify and characterize endothelin inactivating peptidases in the rat gastrointestinal mucosa and smooth muscle cells. We have found three high affinity and efficient endothelin-1 inactivating peptidases. The acidic (pH optimum 5.5), membrane-bound, thiorphan- (ED(50) 1.2+/-0.2 nM) and phosphoramidon (ED(50) 150+/-25 pM) sensitive, endothelin-1 inactivating peptidase (K(M) 0.12+/-0.03 microM) was present in the mucosal cells of duodenum and small intestine. The enzyme exhibited high molecular weight (>100 kDa) and characteristics similar to that of the rat and human kidney, acidic metalloendopeptidase that was recently described. Two forms of the unique, low molecular weight (100>MW>30 kDa), alkaline (pH optimum 8.5), specific (K(M) 0.5+/-0.2 microM), thiorphan- and phosphoramidon insensitive, 1,10 phenanthroline inhibitable (ED(50) 0.65+/-0.20 mM, mean+/-S.E.M.) endothelin-1 inactivating peptidase were present exclusively in the duodenal mucosal cells; soluble form in cytosol and membrane-bound form exhibiting an abundance ratio 5:1, respectively. Mucosa of the stomach and large intestine, and gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells do not contain the specific endothelin-1 inactivating peptidases. The enzymes may play a crucial role in regulation of endothelin concentration in the gastrointestinal tissues. Whether impairment of activity of the mucosal endothelin inactivating peptidases, resulting in the increase of concentration of endothelin peptides in gastrointestinal tissues, occurs in various pathological conditions is actually studied in our laboratory. 相似文献

Acceleration of the wound healing process by using angiogenic peptides has been demonstrated previously. Here we used select laminin-111 peptides, A13 and C16, from the laminin alpha1 and gamma1 chain, respectively, to test whether they are able to stimulate wound healing in a rat full thickness wound model. The 12-mer peptides C16 and A13 are highly angiogenic and bind to integrins alphavbeta3 and alpha5beta1. We show that A13 increases wound re-epithelialization as much as 17% over controls by day 4 and C16 increases coverage by 11%. Contraction of the treated wounds was increased as much as 11% for A13 and 8% for C16 at day 4. No differences were observed at day 7 with either peptide. The peptides also stimulated fibroblast migration in Boyden chamber assays. A13 increased cell migration as much as 2.4-fold on uncoated filters and as much as 16-fold on collagen type IV-coated filters over negative controls. Similarly, C16 also stimulated migration 1.8-fold on uncoated filters and as much as 12-fold on collagen-coated filters. A13 and C16 significantly decreased expression of the pro and active forms of matrix metalloproteinase 2 in foreskin fibroblasts indicating their role in collagen accumulation. We conclude that small bioactive angiogenic peptides can promote dermal wound healing and may offer a new class of stable and chemically manipulable therapeutics for wound healing. 相似文献

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a popular Indian spice that has been used for centuries in herbal medicines for the treatment of a variety of ailments such as rheumatism, diabetic ulcers, anorexia, cough and sinusitis. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the main curcuminoid present in turmeric and responsible for its yellow color. Curcumin has been shown to possess significant anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-mutagenic, anti-coagulant and anti-infective effects. Curcumin has also been shown to have significant wound healing properties. It acts on various stages of the natural wound healing process to hasten healing. This review summarizes and discusses recently published papers on the effects of curcumin on skin wound healing. The highlighted studies in the review provide evidence of the ability of curcumin to reduce the body's natural response to cutaneous wounds such as inflammation and oxidation. The recent literature on the wound healing properties of curcumin also provides evidence for its ability to enhance granulation tissue formation, collagen deposition, tissue remodeling and wound contraction. It has become evident that optimizing the topical application of curcumin through altering its formulation is essential to ensure the maximum therapeutical effects of curcumin on skin wounds. 相似文献

Summary Spontaneous cutaneous wounds occur in avian embryos (chick, duck, quail) in various prominent parts of the body, notably the elbow, the knee and the outer face of feather buds. The frequency and size and the light and electron microscopic morphology of elbow wounds in the chick embryo are described. The cutaneous lesion appears in over 80% of the embryos at around 7 days of incubation, persists through 14 days, and finally heals completely at around 16 days of incubation. No trace of the wound is visible after that age. Wound healing of these spontaneous lesions was analysed with light microscopy (using indirect immunofluorescence for the localization of type I collagen, fibronectin and laminin) and electron microscopy. The main feature of the very slow healing process, as compared with the rapid cicatrization of experimental excision wounds, appears to be a continuous damage of the healing epidermis, until, finally, definitive wound closure occurs between 14 and 16 days of incubation. In the damaged region, where the epidermis is absent, the dermis exhibits an increased density of type I collagen fibres and of fibronectin. The upper face of the bare dermis is deprived of laminin. Spontaneous lesions do not occur in isolated wings explanted on the chick chorioallantoic membrane, where the wings do not become mobile and are not in contact with the amnion. The observations and explantation experiments suggest that the skin damage is caused by friction and abrasion of the bending elbow against the amnion or the amniotic fluid. 相似文献

Ethnopharmacological relevanceVerbesina crocata (Cav.) Less. (Arnica or Capitaneja) is an endemic plant from Mexico restricted to the western part of the country. The aerial parts are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of wounds and burns. The objective of this investigation was to carry out a pharmacognostic study of V. crocata and establish markers that allow for the recognition of the characteristics of the plant and validate its traditional use. The study includes anatomical and chemical characteristics of the plant as well as evaluations of its antioxidant capacity and wound healing ability in a murine model.Materials and methodsAn anatomical study of V. crocata was performed on the middle part of the leaf and stem. A methanolic extract of this species (VcME) was obtained by methanolic maceration of the aerial parts. Subsequently, a partition of the VcME was made to obtain a hexanic fraction (VcH). The phytochemical preliminary screening and characterization by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/MS) of the VcME and VcH were performed. The antioxidant activity and total phenolic content were quantified. The wound healing capacity of the methanolic extract was determined in CD-1 mice by the healing rate, the tensiometric method, and histological analysis.ResultsThe anatomical study of V. crocata showed the presence of two types of secretory structures and their position on the leaves. In addition, the characteristics of the middle vein and trichomes are potentially useful for recognition of the species. Chemical compounds detected by HPLC-ESI/MS reveal the presence of sitosterol glycoside and catechin derivatives as principal constituents of V. crocata. The VcME showed low antioxidant capacity and total phenolic. V. crocata had a similar healing effect to Recoveron® in the tensiometric method, but the rate of healing was higher. According to the histological analysis, the treatment of V. crocata promoted the remodelling phase 15 days after the incisional wound.ConclusionThis is the first pharmacognostic study of this species that covers the plant anatomy, chemical content and biological properties related to its traditional use. V. crocata favours wound healing according to physical and histological evaluations. In addition, the characteristics of the middle vein, trichomes and catechin glycosides are potentially useful for the recognition of this species. 相似文献

Summary Wounded amphibian skin heals initially by a migration of epithelial cells from the cut edge towards the center of the wound. The density of currents leaving wounds made in Notophthalmus viridescens skin was manipulated in order to determine whether electrical fields associated with these currents might have a significant role in promoting this cell migration during wound healing. Wounds were made with either a needle (200 m) or a biopsy punch (500 m). Currents leaving the wounds were measured with a vibrating probe, and the wounds fixed at various times after wounding. When the Na+-dependent currents were reduced by blocking Na+ channels with benzamil, wound healing, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and by paraffin histology, was impaired. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that there is an electrical component to wound healing. 相似文献

Expression of synaptopodin in endothelial cells exposed to laminar shear stress and its role in endothelial wound healing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We examined the hypothesis that certain actin binding proteins might be upregulated by laminar shear stress (LSS) and could contribute to endothelial wound healing. Analysis of mRNA expression profiles of human umbilical vein endothelial cells under static and LSS-exposed conditions provided a list of LSS-induced actin binding proteins including synaptopodin (SYNPO) whose endothelial expression has not been previously reported. Additional studies demonstrated that SYNPO is a key mediator of endothelial wound healing because small interfering RNA-mediated suppression of SYNPO attenuated wound closure under LSS whereas overexpression of exogenous SYNPO enhanced endothelial wound closure in the absence of LSS. This study suggests that LSS-induced actin binding proteins including SYNPO may play a critical role in the endothelial wound healing stimulated by LSS. 相似文献

Endostatin, the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is known to suppress tumour growth and angiogenesis by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. We have previously shown that endostatin and its precursor are important for the structural organization of basement membranes (BM). The aim of this study was to investigate cutaneous wound healing in mice overexpressing endostatin in keratinocytes (ES-tg) and in mice lacking collagen XVIII (Col18a1(-/-)). Excisional wounds were made on the dorsal skin of mice, the wound areas were measured and the wounds were collected for further analyses after 3, 6 or 14 days. The healing of the wounds was delayed in the ES-tg mice and accelerated in the Col18a1(-/-) mice, and the vascularisation rate was accelerated in the Col18a1(-/-) mice, but not affected in the ES-tg mice. Abnormal capillaries with swollen endothelial cells and narrowed lumens were observed in the wounds of the ES-tg mice. In these mice also the formation of the epidermal BM was delayed, and the structure of the epidermal and capillary BMs was more disorganised. Moreover, detachment of the epidermis from the granulation tissue was observed in half (n=10) of the 6-day-old ES-tg wounds, but in none of the controls, suggesting an increased fragility of the epidermal-dermal junction in the presence of an excess of endostatin. 相似文献

Chronically elevated blood glucose levels result in reduced leukocyte function and cell malnutrition, which contribute to a high rate of wound infection and associated healing problems in diabetic patients. In the present study, the role of biotinylated GHK peptide (BioGHK) incorporated collagen biomaterial was tested for wound healing in diabetic rats. The rate of wound contraction and the levels of collagen, uronic acid, protein and DNA in the granulation tissue were determined. Further, the concentration of nitric oxide and other skin antioxidants was also monitored during the study. In diabetic rats treated with BioGHK incorporated collagen (Peptide Incorporated Collagen--PIC), the healing process was hastened with an increased rate of wound contraction. Glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid levels in the skin of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were higher in the PIC group as compared to control (Untreated) and collagen (Collagen Film--CF) treated groups. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity was altered in all the groups. In vitro fibroblast cell culture studies suggest that PIC promotes fibroblast growth. Histological evaluation by haematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome method revealed epithelialization, increased synthesis of collagen and activation of fibroblasts and mast cells in the PIC group. This study provides a rationale for the topical application of BioGHK incorporated collagen as a feasible and productive approach to support diabetic wound healing. 相似文献

The embryonic epidermis of amniotes is a two-cell layer sheet with a periderm positioned superficial to the basal cell layer which, itself, attaches apically to the basal surface of the periderm and basally to the basal lamina. The presence of the periderm is essential to maintain the basal layer as a two-dimensional monolayer. Wounds to the epidermis that remove selectively just the periderm are healed by a stacking of the basal layer cells that constitute the wound bed. Basal cell stacking involves the desertion of the basal lamina by many of the cells so as to increase their contact area with other basal layer cells. This suggests that a preferential adhesion to the planar basal lamina is not important for the monolayered organization of the basal layer but, instead, association with inner surface of the planar periderm is the principal process that maintains the basal layer as a monolayer. The conversion of the basal layer from monolayer to multilayer during wound healing diminishes its planar area, resulting in movement of the wound borders toward the center of the wound. This is a novel scenario for wound healing. 相似文献

Summary Taurine which has antioxidant effects is also known to have effects on cell proliferation, inflammation and collagenogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of taurine on incisional skin wounds.The mice incised on the dorsal area were divided into control and experimental groups. Saline was injected intraperitoneally to half of the animals in the control group and locally applied to the other half. Fifty mM taurine solution was given intraperitoneally to the first half of the experimental animals and locally to the second half of the experimental group.After four days of treatment, malondialdehyde (MDA) and histamine levels as well as the tensile strength of the wound tissue were measured. Structural alterations in epidermis and dermis were histologically evaluated.The locally administreated taurine significantly increased wound tensile strength by decreasing the MDA and histamine levels and prevented the degranulation of the mast cells. These observations suggest that taurine may be useful on wound healing. 相似文献

Wounds in fetal skin heal without scar, however the mechanism is unknown. We identified a novel group of E-cadherin positive cells in the blood of fetal and adult mice and named them "Dot cells". The percentage of Dot cells in E16.5 fetal mice blood is more than twenty times higher compared to adult blood. Dot cells also express integrin beta1, CD184, CD34, CD13low and Sca1low, but not CD45, CD44, and CD117. Dot cells have a tiny dot shape between 1 and 7 microm diameters with fast proliferation in vitro. Most of the Dot cells remain positive for E-cadherin and integrin beta1 after one month in culture. Transplantation of Dot cells to adult mice heals skin wounds with less scar due to reduced smooth muscle actin and collagen expression in the repair tissue. Tracking GFP-positive Dot cells demonstrates that Dot cells migrate to wounds and differentiate into dermal cells, which also express strongly to FGF-2, and later lose their GFP expression. Our results indicate that Dot cells are a group of previously unidentified cells that have strong wound healing effect. The mechanism of scarless wound healing in fetal skin is due to the presence of a large number of Dot cells. 相似文献

Background
Chronic wounds present a major challenge in modern medicine. Even under optimal conditions, the healing process may lead to scarring and fibrosis. The ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into other cell types makes these cells an attractive therapeutic tool for cell transplantation. Both tissue-engineered construct and MSC therapy are among the current wound healing procedures and potential care. Chitosan has been widely applied in tissue engineering because of its biocompatibility and biodegradability.Aim
The aim of the current work was to compare the efficiency of MSCs and chitosan dressing, alone or in combination treatment on wound healing.Methods
This study was conducted on 15 rabbits, which were randomly divided in 3 groups based on the type of treatment with MSCs, chitosan dressing and combination of both. A full–thickness skin defect was excised from the right and left side of the back of each animals. Defects on right sides were filled with treatments and left side defects were left as control. Evaluation of the therapeutic effectiveness was performed through a variety of clinical and microscopical evaluations and measurements of the process of wound healing on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. Histological evaluation of wound healing was classified by different scoring systems.Results
The data indicated that wounds treated with bone marrow derived MSC had enhanced cellularity and better epidermal regeneration. During the early stages of wound healing, the closure rate of bone marrow derived MSC-treated wounds were significantly higher than other treatments (P < 0.05). Although the MSCs in the wound edges enhance the healing of the full–thickness wound, the healing process of chitosan treatment was slower than the control group.Conclusion
This study revealed advanced granulation tissue formation and epithelialization in wounds treated with MSCs, and may suggests this treatment as an effective applicant in wound healing process. Chitosan scaffold dressings, whether alone or in combination with MSCs, have worsened the wound healing as compared to the control group. 相似文献20.
Compared to other vertebrates, the regenerative capacity of appendages in mammals is very limited. Deer antlers are an exception and can fully regenerate annually in postnatal mammals. This process is initiated by the antler stem cells (AnSCs). AnSCs can be divided into three types: (1) Antlerogenic periosteum cells (for initial pedicle and first antler formation); (2) Pedicle periosteum cells (for annual antler regeneration); and (3) Reserve mesenchyme cells (RMCs) (for rapid antler growth). Previous studies have demonstrated that AnSCs express both classic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and are able to differentiate into multiple cell types in vitro. Thus, AnSCs were defined as MSCs, but with partial ESC attributes. Near-perfect generative wound healing can naturally occur in deer, and wound healing can be achieved by the direct injection of AnSCs or topical application of conditioned medium of AnSCs in rats. In addition, in rabbits, the use of both implants with AnSCs and cell-free preparations derived from AnSCs can stimulate osteogenesis and repair defects of bone. A more comprehensive understanding of AnSCs will lay the foundation for developing an effective clinical therapy for wound healing and bone repair. 相似文献
