| 1 | Curcumin preconditioning enhances the efficacy of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to accelerate healing of burn wounds显示文摘Background:Following recent findings from our group that curcumin preconditioning augments the therapeutic efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells in the healing of diabetic wounds in rats,we aimed to investigate the regenerative effects of curcumin preconditioned adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(ASCs)for better recovery of acid inflicted burns in this study.Methods:ASCs were preconditioned with 5μM curcumin for 24 hours and assessed for proliferation,migration,paracrine release potential and gene expression comparative to naive ASCs.Subsequently,the healing capacity of curcumin preconditioned ASCs(Cur-ASCs)versus naive ASCs was examined using acidic wounds in rats.For this,acid inflicted burns of 20 mm in diameter were made on the back of male Wistar rats.Then,2×10^(6) cells of Cur-ASCs and naive ASCs were intradermally injected in the wound periphery(n=6)for comparison with an untreated saline control.Post-transplantation,wounds were macroscopically analysed and photographed to evaluate the percentage of wound closure and period of re-epithelization.Healed wound biopsies were excised and used for histological evaluation and expression analysis of wound healing markers at molecular level by quantitative PCR and western blotting.Results:We found that Cur-ASCs exhibited greater proliferation,migration and paracrine potential in vitro.Further,Cur-ASCs showed more effective recovery than naive ASCs as exhibited by gross morphology,faster wound closure and earlier re-epithelialization.Masson’s trichrome and hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated the improved architecture of the healing burns,as evidenced by reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells,compact collagen and marked granulation in Cur-ASC treated rats.Corroborating these findings,molecular assessment showed significantly reduced expressions of pro-inflammatory factors(interleukin-1 beta,interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor alpha)a with striking upsurge of an oxidative marker(superoxide dismutase 1),proangiogenic factors(vascular endothelial growth factor,hepatocyte growth factor,hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha)and collagen markers(transforming growth factor beta 1,fibroblast growth factor-2,collagen type 1 alpha 1),verifying that Cur-ASCs modulate the regulation of pro-inflammatory and healing markers at burn sites.Conclusions:Treatment with Cur-ASCs resulted in faster re-epithelization of acid inflicted burns compared to the treatment with naive ASCs.Based on observed findings,we suggest the transplantation of Cur-ASCs is a valuable therapy for the potent clinical management of acidic burns. | Maryam Azam Hafiz Ghufran Hira Butt Azra Mehmood Ramla Ashfaq Asad M.Ilyas Muhammad R.Ahmad Sheikh Riazuddin | 2021 | Burns & Trauma2021,9,1: | 2 |
