Irrespective of underlying chronic wound pathology, delayed wound healing is normally characterised by impaired new tissue formation at the site of injury. It is thought that this impairment reflects both a reduced capacity to synthesize new tissue and the antagonistic activities of high levels of proteinases within the chronic wound environment. Historically, wound dressings have largely been passive devices that offer the wound interim barrier function and establish a moist healing environment. A new generation of devices, designed to interact with the wound and promote new tissue formation, is currently being developed and tested. This study considers one such device, oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC) /collagen, in terms of its ability to promote fibroblast migration and proliferation in vitro and to accelerate wound repair in the diabetic mouse, a model of delayed wound healing. ORC/collagen was found to promote both human dermal fibroblasts proliferation and cell migration. In vivo studies considered the closure and histological characteristics of diabetic wounds treated with ORC/collagen compared to those of wounds given standard treatment on both diabetic and non-diabetic mice. ORC/collagen was found to significantly accelerate diabetic wound closure and result in a measurable improvement in the histological appearance of wound tissues. As the diabetic mouse is a recognised model of impaired healing, which may share some characteristics of human chronic wounds, the results of this in vivo study, taken together with those relating the positive effects of ORC/collagen in vitro, may predict the beneficial use of this device in the clinical setting. 相似文献

Diabetic patients are at high risk of developing delayed cutaneous wound healing. Adiponectin plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and is considered to be involved in various pathological conditions associated with diabetes; however, its role in wound repair is unknown. In this study, we elucidated the involvement of adiponectin in cutaneous wound healing in vitro and in vivo. Normal human keratinocytes expressed adiponectin receptors, and adiponectin enhanced proliferation and migration of keratinocytes in vitro. This proliferative and migratory effect of adiponectin was mediated via AdipoR1/AdipoR2 and the ERK signaling pathway. Consistent with in vitro results, wound closure was significantly delayed in adiponectin-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice, and more importantly, keratinocyte proliferation and migration during wound repair were also impaired in adiponectin-deficient mice. Furthermore, both systemic and topical administration of adiponectin ameliorated impaired wound healing in adiponectin-deficient and diabetic db/db mice, respectively. Collectively, these results indicate that adiponectin is a potent mediator in the regulation of cutaneous wound healing. We propose that upregulation of systemic and/or local adiponectin levels is a potential and very promising therapeutic approach for dealing with diabetic wounds. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Recently, we have reported a rapid and strong induction of interleukin-18 (IL-18) upon cutaneous injury in mice. In this paper, we investigated a possible role of IL-18 in triggering interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production at the wound site. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expression of IFN-gamma during cutaneous wound healing was analyzed by RNase protection assay, Western blot, ELISA, and immunohistochemical techniques in a murine model of excisional skin repair. RESULTS: We could not detect any IFN-gamma mRNA and protein expression during normal skin repair. Additionally, impaired healing in the genetically diabetic db/db mouse, which was used as a model for a prolonged inflammatory phase of repair, was characterized by largely elevated levels of IL-18 during the late phase of repair and an absence of IFN-gamma. Western blot analysis for T-cell- and monocyte/macrophage-specific marker proteins (CD4, F4/80) clearly revealed the presence of these subsets of leukocytic cells at the wound site, that are known to produce IFN-gamma in response to IL-18. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the presence of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) at the wound site might reflect a counterregulatory mechanism in IL-18-induced IFN-gamma production, as TGF-beta1 strongly suppressed IL-18/phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced IFN-gamma production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: Normal tissue regeneration processes after cutaneous injury were not dependent on the presence of IFN-gamma in vivo, and IL-18 must serve additional roles rather than inducing IFN-gamma during the healing process. 相似文献

A lack of oxygen is classically described as a major cause of impaired wound healing in diabetic patients. Even if the role of oxygen in the wound healing process is well recognized, measurement of oxygen levels in a wound remains challenging. The purpose of the present study was to assess the value of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry to monitor pO2 in wounds during the healing process in diabetic mouse models. Kinetics of wound closure were carried out in streptozotocin (STZ)-treated and db/db mice. The pO2 was followed repeatedly during the healing process by 1 GHz EPR spectroscopy with lithium phthalocyanine (LiPc) crystals used as oxygen sensor in two different wound models: a full-thickness excisional skin wound and a pedicled skin flap. Wound closure kinetics were dramatically slower in 12-week-old db/db compared to control (db/+) mice, whereas kinetics were not statistically different in STZ-treated compared to control mice. At the center of excisional wounds, measurements were highly influenced by atmospheric oxygen early in the healing process. In pedicled flaps, hypoxia was observed early after wounding. While reoxygenation occurred over time in db/+ mice, hypoxia was prolonged in the diabetic db/db model. This observation was consistent with impaired healing and microangiopathies observed using intravital microscopy. In conclusion, EPR oximetry using LiPc crystals as the oxygen sensor is an appropriate technique to follow wound oxygenation in acute and chronic wounds, in normal and diabetic animals. Nevertheless, the technique is limited for measurements in pedicled skin flaps and cannot be applied to excisional wounds in which diffusion of atmospheric oxygen significantly affects the measurements. 相似文献

The hypothesis of this study was that cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage (Mo/Mp) exhibit an impaired transition from pro-inflammatory to pro-healing phenotypes in wounds of diabetic mice, which contributes to deficient healing. Mo/Mp isolated from excisional wounds in non-diabetic db/+ mice exhibited a pro-inflammatory phenotype on day 5 post-injury, with high level expression of the pro-inflammatory molecules interleukin-1β, matrix metalloprotease-9 and inducible nitric oxide synthase. Wound Mo/Mp exhibited a less inflammatory phenotype on day 10 post-injury, with decreased expression of the pro-inflammatory molecules and increased expression of the alternative activation markers CD206 and CD36. In contrast, in db/db mice, the pro-inflammatory phenotype persisted through day 10 post-injury and was associated with reduced expression of insulin-like growth factor-1, transforming growth factor-β1 and vascular endothelial growth factor. Reduced levels of these growth factors in wounds of db/db mice may have contributed to impaired wound closure, reduced granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis and collagen deposition. The persistent pro-inflammatory wound Mo/Mp phenotype in db/db mice may have resulted from elevated levels of pro-inflammatory interleukin-1β and interferon-γ and reduced levels of anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 in the wound environment. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that dysregulation of Mo/Mp phenotypes contributes to impaired healing of diabetic wounds. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a cytoprotective, pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory enzyme, is strongly induced in injured tissues. Our aim was to clarify its role in cutaneous wound healing. In wild type mice, maximal expression of HO-1 in the skin was observed on the 2nd and 3rd days after wounding. Inhibition of HO-1 by tin protoporphyrin-IX resulted in retardation of wound closure. Healing was also delayed in HO-1 deficient mice, where lack of HO-1 could lead to complete suppression of reepithelialization and to formation of extensive skin lesions, accompanied by impaired neovascularization. Experiments performed in transgenic mice bearing HO-1 under control of keratin 14 promoter showed that increased level of HO-1 in keratinocytes is enough to improve the neovascularization and hasten the closure of wounds. Importantly, induction of HO-1 in wounded skin was relatively weak and delayed in diabetic (db/db) mice, in which also angiogenesis and wound closure were impaired. In such animals local delivery of HO-1 transgene using adenoviral vectors accelerated the wound healing and increased the vascularization. In summary, induction of HO-1 is necessary for efficient wound closure and neovascularization. Impaired wound healing in diabetic mice may be associated with delayed HO-1 upregulation and can be improved by HO-1 gene transfer. 相似文献

Diabetes is a condition that causes delayed wound healing and results in chronic wounds. CD100 has been reported to promote and induce potent and obvious angiogenesis both in vivo and in vitro studies, the absence of which are a main cause of the diabetic chronic wound. In the present study, we investigated the effects of application of soluble CD100 on wound healing in diabetic mice. Four 5-mm full-thickness dermal wounds were made on each male db/db mouse. 12 mice from CD100 group were subcutaneously injected with 250 ng of CD100 (50 µl) per wound, in addition, 12 mice were injected with the same volume phosphate-balanced solution as the control. The animals were treated every other day until the wounds healed completely. Images were obtained to calculate the area ratio of the original area. HE and Masson’s trichrome staining were used for histological examination. Collagen remodeling, angiogenesis and wound bed inflammation were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining and western blot. We demonstrated that CD100 had distinct functions during the wound healing process. Histological and western blotting analysis showed a more organized epithelium and dermis, more collagen fibers, higher angiogenesis and lower inflammation in the CD100 group than in the PBS group. These findings suggest that CD100 may accelerate wound healing in diabetic mice by promoting angiogenesis in the wound and by reducing the inflammatory response. 相似文献

Treatment of diabetes-impaired wound healing remains a major unresolved medical challenge. Here, we identified suppressed formation of a novel reparative lipid mediator 14S,21R-dihydroxydocosa-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid (14S,21R-diHDHA) in cutaneous wounds of diabetic db/db mice. These results indicate that diabetes impedes the biosynthetic pathways of 14S,21R-diHDHA in skin wounds. Administration of exogenous 14S,21R-diHDHA to wounds in diabetic animals rescued healing and angiogenesis. When db/db mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were administered together with 14S,21R-diHDHA to wounds in diabetic animals, they coacted to accelerate wound re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, and synergistically improved vascularization. In the pivotal cellular processes of angiogenesis, 14S,21R-diHDHA enhanced VEGF release, vasculature formation, and migration of db/db dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMVECs), as well as remedied paracrine angiogenic functions of db/db MSCs, including VEGF secretion and the promotion of DMVEC migration and vasculature formation. Our results show that 14S,21R-diHDHA activates the p38 MAPK pathway in wounds, db/db MSCs, and DMVECs. Overall, the impeded formation of 14S,21R-diHDHA described in this study suggests that diabetes could affect the generation of pro-healing lipid mediators in wound healing. By restoring wound healing and MSC functions, 14S,21R-diHDHA is a new lead for the development of better therapeutics used in treating wounds of diabetics. 相似文献

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a progressive disorder with severe late complications. Normal wound healing involves a series of complex and well-orchestrated molecular events dictated by multiple factors. In diabetes, wound healing is grossly impaired due to defective, and dysregulated cellular and molecular events at all phases of wound healing resulting in chronic wounds that fail to heal. Carnosine, a dipeptide of alanine and histidine and an endogenous antioxidant is documented to accelerate healing of wounds and ulcers. However, not much is known about its role in wound healing in diabetes. Therefore, we studied the effect of carnosine in wound healing in db/db mice, a mice model of Type 2 DM. Six millimeter circular wounds were made in db/db mice and analyzed for wound healing every other day. Carnosine (100?mg/kg) was injected (I.P.) every day and also applied locally. Treatment with carnosine enhanced wound healing significantly, and wound tissue analysis showed increased expression of growth factors and cytokines genes involved in wound healing. In vitro studies with human dermal fibroblasts and microvascular-endothelial cells showed that carnosine increases cell viability in presence of high glucose. These effects, in addition to its known role as an antioxidant and a precursor for histamine synthesis, provide evidence for a possible therapeutic use of carnosine in diabetic wound healing. 相似文献

With its wide distribution in soft and hard connective tissues, collagen is the most abundant of animal proteins. In vitro, natural collagen can be formed into highly organized, three‐dimensional scaffolds that are intrinsically biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic upon exogenous application, and endowed with high tensile strength. These attributes make collagen the material of choice for wound healing and tissue engineering applications. In this article, we review the structure and molecular interactions of collagen in vivo; the recent use of natural collagen in sponges, injectables, films and membranes, dressings, and skin grafts; and the on‐going development of synthetic collagen mimetic peptides as pylons to anchor cytoactive agents in wound beds. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Topical application of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is considered to accelerate tissue repair of impaired chronic wounds. However, the vast literature is plagued with conflicting reports of its efficacy in animal models and this is often influenced by a wide array of experimental variables making it difficult to compare the results across the studies. To mitigate the confounding variables that influence the efficacy of topically applied PDGF-BB, we used a controlled full thickness splinted excisional wound model in db/db mice (type 2 diabetic mouse model) for our investigations. A carefully-defined silicone-splinted wound model, with reduced wound contraction, controlled splint and bandage maintenance, allowing for healing primarily by reepithelialization was employed. Two splinted 8 mm dorsal full thickness wounds were made in db/db mice. Wounds were topically treated once daily with either 3 µg PDGF-BB in 30 µl of 5% PEG-PBS vehicle or an equal volume of vehicle for 10 days. Body weights, wound contraction, wound closure, reepithelialization, collagen content, and wound bed inflammation were evaluated clinically and histopathologically. The bioactivity of PDGF-BB was confirmed by in vitro proliferation assay. PDGF-BB, although bioactive in vitro, failed to accelerate wound healing in vivo in the db/db mice using the splinted wound model. Considering that the predominant mechanism of wound healing in humans is by re-epeithelialization, the most appropriate model for evaluating therapeutics is one that uses splints to prevent excessive wound contraction. Here, we report that PDGF-BB does not promote wound closure by re-epithelialization in a murine splinted wound model. Our results highlight that the effects of cytoactive factors reported in vivo ought to be carefully interpreted with critical consideration of the wound model used. 相似文献

SIRT3 deficiency delays diabetic skin wound healing via oxidative stress and necroptosis enhancement
Shengju Yang Mengting Xu Guoliang Meng Yan Lu 《Journal of cellular and molecular medicine》2020,24(8):4415-4427
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) plays a vital role in several dermatological diseases. However, the role and detailed mechanism of SIRT3 in diabetic wound healing are unknown well yet. To explore possible involvement of SIRT3 and necroptosis in diabetic skin wound healing, SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice and 129S1/SvImJ wild‐type (WT) mice were injected with streptozotocin (STZ), and mice skin fibroblasts were exposed to high glucose (HG). It was found that SIRT3 expression decreased in the skin of diabetic patients. SIRT3 deficiency delayed healing rate, reduced blood supply and vascular endothelial growth factor expression, promoted superoxide production, increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, decreased total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC), reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and aggravated ultrastructure disorder in skin wound of diabetic mice. SIRT3 deficiency inhibited mice skin fibroblasts migration with HG stimulation, which was restored by SIRT3 overexpression. SIRT3 deficiency also suppressed α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA) expression, enhanced superoxide production but decreased mitochondrial membrane potential with HG stimulation after scratch. SIRT3 deficiency further elevated receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), RIPK1 and caspase 3 expression both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, SIRT3 deficiency delayed skin wound healing in diabetes, the mechanism might be related to impaired mitochondria function, enhanced oxidative stress and increased necroptosis. This may provide a novel therapeutic target to accelerate diabetic skin wound healing. 相似文献

The objective of this work was initially to investigate the effects on skin wound healing process by local injection of HSP47 recombinant plasmid in an alloxan-induced diabetic rat model and assess the possibility and utility of gene therapy based on HSP47 plasmid to improve the diabetic skin wound healing. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with alloxan (120 mg/kg) to induce diabetes. The fragment containing the rat 47 kDa heat shock protein (HSP47) gene lacking its own promoter was cloned into plasmids containing a promoter and green fluorescent protein (GFP). The resulting gene constructs were first tested in vitro using 3T3 fibroblast cell line and subsequently in vivo after inducing wounds with alloxan in diabetic rats. Immunohistochemistry, quantitative fluorescent RT-PCR, and Western blotting 3-5 days after plasmid injection were performed to measure the expression changes of HSP47 and collagen I. The results demonstrate an increase of HSP47 levels in vitro in 3T3 fibroblast cells and in vivo in diabetic rat after treatment with plasmids expressing HSP47. The level of collagen I around the wound during the repair process was higher in the treated group than that in the control group, indicating that the constructs may have use in human gene therapy in cases of impaired skin wound healing in diabetes. 相似文献

Wound Administration of M2-Polarized Macrophages Does Not Improve Murine Cutaneous Healing Responses
Nadine Jetten Nadia Roumans Marion J. Gijbels Andrea Romano Mark J. Post Menno P. J. de Winther Rene R. W. J. van der Hulst Sofia Xanthoulea 《PloS one》2014,9(7)
Macrophages play a crucial role in all stages of cutaneous wound healing responses and dysregulation of macrophage function can result in derailed wound repair. The phenotype of macrophages is influenced by the wound microenvironment and evolves during healing from a more pro-inflammatory (M1) profile in early stages, to a less inflammatory pro-healing (M2) phenotype in later stages of repair. The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential of exogenous administration of M2 macrophages to promote wound healing in an experimental mouse model of cutaneous injury. Bone marrow derived macrophages were stimulated in-vitro with IL-4 or IL-10 to obtain two different subsets of M2-polarized cells, M2a or M2c respectively. Polarized macrophages were injected into full-thickness excisional skin wounds of either C57BL/6 or diabetic db/db mice. Control groups were injected with non-polarized (M0) macrophages or saline. Our data indicate that despite M2 macrophages exhibit an anti-inflammatory phenotype in-vitro, they do not improve wound closure in wild type mice while they delay healing in diabetic mice. Examination of wounds on day 15 post-injury indicated delayed re-epithelialization and persistence of neutrophils in M2 macrophage treated diabetic wounds. Therefore, topical application of ex-vivo generated M2 macrophages is not beneficial and contraindicated for cell therapy of skin wounds. 相似文献

Regulation of eNOS in normal and diabetes-impaired skin repair: implications for tissue regeneration. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

An important role of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase for epithelial action during skin repair has been well established. Although a delayed healing of skin wounds has been recently described for eNOS-deficient mice, a participation of endothelial-type NO synthase (eNOS) in skin repair largely remains unclear. In this study we determined the expression pattern of eNOS during wound healing in healthy and in diabetic mice. Remarkably, normal repair in healthy animals was characterized by a moderate induction of eNOS at the mRNA and protein level, whereas diabetes-impaired healing was associated with a clearly reduced eNOS protein expression. Immunohistochemistry revealed the endothelial lining of blood vessels within the granulation tissue, and also keratinocytes of the wound margins, the developing neo-epithelium, and the hair follicles to express eNOS protein. Keratinocyte-derived expression of eNOS could be confirmed at the mRNA level in vitro for human primary keratinocytes and the keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. Furthermore, eNOS enzymatic activity most likely contributes to epithelial regeneration, as eNOS-deficient (eNOS -/-) animals exhibited reduced wound margin epithelia associated with reduced keratinocyte proliferation. 相似文献

The essential involvement of cross-talk between IFN-gamma and TGF-beta in the skin wound-healing process 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Several lines of in vitro evidence suggest the potential role of IFN-gamma in angiogenesis and collagen deposition, two crucial steps in the wound healing process. In this report, we examined the role of IFN-gamma in the skin wound healing process utilizing WT and IFN-gamma KO mice. In WT mice, excisional wounding induced IFN-gamma mRNA and protein expression by infiltrating macrophages and T cells, with a concomitant enhancement of IL-12 and IL-18 gene expression. Compared with WT mice, IFN-gamma KO mice exhibited an accelerated wound healing as evidenced by rapid wound closure and granulation tissue formation. Moreover, IFN-gamma KO mice exhibited enhanced angiogenesis with augmented vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA expression in wound sites, compared with WT mice, despite a reduction in the infiltrating neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells. IFN-gamma KO mice also exhibited accelerated collagen deposition with enhanced production of TGF-beta1 protein in wound sites, compared with WT mice. Furthermore, the absence of IFN-gamma augmented the TGF-beta1-mediated signaling pathway, as evidenced by increases in the levels of total and phosphorylated Smad2 and a reciprocal decrease in the levels of Smad7. These results demonstrate that there is crosstalk between the IFN-gamma/Stat1 and TGF-beta1/Smad signaling pathways in the wound healing process. 相似文献

Endothelin (ET)-1 is known for the most potent vasoconstrictive peptide that is released mainly from endothelial cells. Several studies have reported ET-1 signaling is involved in the process of wound healing or fibrosis as well as vasodilation. However, little is known about the role of ET-1 in these processes. To clarify its mechanism, we compared skin fibrogenesis and wound repair between vascular endothelial cell-specific ET-1 knockout mice and their wild-type littermates. Bleomycin-injected fibrotic skin of the knockout mice showed significantly decreased skin thickness and collagen content compared to that of wild-type mice, indicating that bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis is attenuated in the knockout mice. The mRNA levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β were decreased in the bleomycin-treated skin of ET-1 knockout mice. On the other hand, skin wound healing was accelerated in ET-1 knockout mice, which was indicated by earlier granulation tissue reduction and re-epithelialization in these mice. The mRNA levels of TGF-β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) were reduced in the wound of ET-1 knockout mice. In endothelial ET-1 knockout mouse, the expression of TNF-α, CTGF and TGF-β was down-regulated. Bosentan, an antagonist of dual ET receptors, is known to attenuate skin fibrosis and accelerate wound healing in systemic sclerosis, and such contradictory effect may be mediated by above molecules. The endothelial cell-derived ET-1 is the potent therapeutic target in fibrosis or wound healing, and investigations of the overall regulatory mechanisms of these pathological conditions by ET-1 may lead to a new therapeutic approach. 相似文献

In order to develop a better wound-dressing to enhance diabetic wound healing, we have examined the biochemical and biophysical features of chitosan-crosslinked collagen sponge (CCCS) and pre-clinically evaluated the CCCS containing recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor (CCCS/FGF) in accelerating diabetic wound healing as compared to collagen sponge alone and FGF alone. Collagen crosslinked with chitosan showed several advantages required for wound dressing, including the uniform and porous ultrastructure, less water-imbibition, small interval porosity, high resistance to collagenase digestion and slow release of FGF from CCCS/FGF. Therapeutic effect of the new wound-dressing containing FGF (i.e.: CCCS/FGF) on diabetic wound healing was examined in type 1 diabetic rat model in which hyperglycemia was induced by single dose of streptozotocin (STZ) and persisted for two months. The CCCS/FGF provided the most efficiently therapeutic effect among various treatments, showing the shortest healing time (14 days in the CCCS/FGF-treated group as compared to 18~21 days in other treatment groups), the quickest tissue collagen generation, the earliest and highest TGF-beta1 expression and dermal cell proliferation (PCNA expression). All these results suggest that CCCS/FGF is an ideal wound-dressing to improve the recovery of healing-impaired wound such as diabetic skin wound, which provides a great potential use in clinics for diabetic patients in the future. 相似文献

The effect of finger millet feeding on the early responses during the process of wound healing in diabetic rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the present study, the role of finger millet feeding on skin antioxidant status, nerve growth factor (NGF) production and wound healing parameters in healing impaired early diabetic rats is reported. Hyperglycemic rats received food containing 50 g/100 g finger millet (FM). Non-diabetic controls and diabetic controls received balanced nutritive diet. Full-thickness excision skin wounds were made after 2 weeks prior feeding of finger millet diet. The rate of wound contraction, and the levels of collagen, hexosamine and uronic acid in the granulation tissue were determined. The skin antioxidant status and lipid peroxide concentration were also monitored during the study. In hyperglycemic rats fed with finger millet diet, the healing process was hastened with an increased rate of wound contraction. Skin levels of glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol in alloxan-induced diabetic rat were lower as compared to non-diabetics. Altered activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were also recorded in diabetics. Interestingly, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were elevated in the wound tissues of all the groups, when compared to normal (unwounded) skin tissues. However, in diabetic rats the TBARS levels of both normal and wounded skin tissues were significantly elevated (P < 0.001) when compared with control (non-diabetic) and diabetics fed with FM. Impaired production of NGF, determined by ELISA, in diabetic rats was improved upon FM feeding and further confirmed by immunocytochemical observations reflects the increased expression of NGF in hyperglycemic rats supplemented with FM-enriched diet. Histological and electron microscopical evaluations revealed the epithelialization, increased synthesis of collagen, activation of fibroblasts and mast cells in FM-fed animals. Thus, increased levels of oxidative stress markers accompanied by decreased levels of antioxidants play a vital role in delaying wound healing in diabetic rats. However, FM feeding to the diabetic animals, for 4 weeks, controlled the glucose levels and improved the antioxidant status, which hastened the dermal wound healing process. 相似文献
