Monitoring wound progression over time is a critical aspect for studies focused on in-depth molecular analysis or evaluating the efficacy of potential novel therapies. Histopathological biopsies can provide significant insight into healing dynamics, yet there no standardized and reproducible scoring system currently available. The purpose this study was to develop statistically validate based parameters in each phase that be easily accurately assessed using either Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E)...

Skin injuries in mammals are healed through repair or regeneration. Our previous studies demonstrated that deficient expression of the transcription factor Foxn1 epidermis nude mice accounts for their skin's pronounced regenerative properties. Since homeostasis within skin depends on complex interactions between epidermal and underlying dermal layers, present study characterizes compares isolated fibroblasts (DFs) (Foxn1 deficient) wild-type Balb/c counterparts. Nude DFs exhibited a higher...

Pressure injuries/ulcers are frequent complications in elderly, paraplegic, and quadriplegic patients, which account for considerable cost to the international health care economy remain refractory current treatment options. Autologous or allogeneic adult stromal/stem cells represent an alternative therapeutic approach. The study extends prior findings by exploring safety efficacy of human adipose-derived cell (ASC) therapy established immunocompetent murine skin pressure ulcer model where...

Dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT) is involved in the maintenance of skin homeostasis. However, studies concerning its molecular regulation are limited. In present paper, we ask whether introduction two transcription factors, Foxn1 and Hif-1α, into post-wounded Foxn1-/- mice regulates dWAT during wound healing (days 3 6). We have chosen lentivirus vectors (LVs) as a tool to deliver Hif-1α skin. documented that combinations both transgenes reduces number, size diameter dermal adipocytes at...

Skin exposed to environmental threats, including injuries and oxidative stress, develops an efficient but not fully recognized system of repair antioxidant protection. Here, using mass spectrometry analysis (LC–MS/MS), followed by in vitro vivo experiments, we provided evidence that Foxn1 keratinocytes regulates elements the electron transport chain participates thioredoxin (Txn2, Txnrd3, Srxn1) induction, particularly a hypoxic environment. We first showed upregulates glutathione reductase...

Abstract Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have potential to improve wound healing; however, their equivalents from domestic animals received less attention as an alternative cell-based therapy for or even humans. Hypoxia is essential maintaining cell functionality in tissue-specific niches. However, a cellular response low oxygen levels has not been demonstrated pig ASCs. Hence, the goal of our study was characterize ASCs isolated subcutaneous fat pigs (pASCs) and examine effect...

The primary mechanism by which adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) exert their reparative or regenerative potential relies predominantly on paracrine action. Secretory abilities of ASCs have been found to be amplified hypoxia pre-conditioning. This study investigates the impact (1% O2) secretome composition pig (pASCs) and explores effect pASCs’ conditioned media (CM) skin cell functions in vitro expression markers attributed wound healing. Exposure pASCs increased levels vascular endothelial...

Hypoxia and hypoxia-regulated factors (eg, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α [Hif-1α], factor inhibiting Hif-1α [Fih-1], thioredoxin-1 [Trx-1], aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 [Arnt-2]) have essential roles in skin wound healing. Using Foxn1−/− mice that can heal injuries a unique scarless manner, we investigated the interaction between Foxn1 factors. The displayed impairments regulation of Hif-1α, Trx-1, Fih-1 but not Arnt-2 during healing process. An analysis wounded showed...

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) from human and animal fat have emerged as therapeutic alternatives for damaged tissues. Pre-conditioning of ASCs with hypoxia results in their functional enhancement, which might facilitate the process healing. However, there is still a critical need large-scale preclinical studies to reinforce translation these findings into clinical practice humans veterinary medicine. Here, we adapted full-thickness excisional skin wound mouse model evaluate compare...
