BACKGROUND Over the past decades, focus on regenerative properties of platelets (PLTs) has intensified and many PLT‐derived growth factors are readily used in medical settings. A general lack standardization preparation these remains, however, this study therefore examines dynamics throughout freeze‐thaw procedure. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Plateletpheresis (PA) PLT‐poor plasma (PPP) samples were collected from 10 healthy donors. PA was lysed to produce PLT lysate (PL) for 1, 3, 5, 10, 30...

Persistent and impaired inflammation impedes tissue healing is a characteristic of chronic wounds. A better understanding the mechanisms controlling wound needed. In this study, we show that in human wound-edge keratinocytes, expressions microRNA (miR)-17, miR-18a, miR-19a, miR-19b, miR-20a, which all belong to miR-17∼92 cluster, are upregulated during repair. However, their levels lower ulcers than acute wounds at proliferative phase. Conditional knockout keratinocytes as well injection...

An increasing number of studies reveal the importance long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in gene expression control underlying many physiological and pathological processes. However, their role skin wound healing remains poorly understood. Our study focused on a skin-specific lncRNA, LOC105372576, whose was increased during healing. In human nonhealing wounds, however, its level significantly lower compared with normal wounds under reepithelialization. We characterized LOC105372576 as...

Abstract The cell transition from an inflammatory phase to a subsequent proliferative is crucial for wound healing, yet the driving mechanism remains unclear. By profiling lncRNA expression changes during human skin healing and screening functions, we identify SNHG26 as pivotal regulator in keratinocyte progenitors underpinning this transition. Snhg26 -deficient mice exhibit impaired repair characterized by delayed re-epithelization accompanied exacerbated inflammation. Single-cell...

MicroRNAs (miR), as important epigenetic control factors, reportedly regulate wound repair. However, our insufficient knowledge of clinically relevant miRs hinders their potential therapeutic use. For this, we performed paired small and long RNA-sequencing integrative omics analysis in human tissue samples, including matched skin acute wounds collected at each healing stage chronic nonhealing venous ulcers (VUs). On the basis findings, developed a compendium (...

Abstract The discovery of an increasing number translatable circular RNAs (circRNAs) raises the question whether their coding and non‐coding functions can coexist within same cell. This study profiles dynamic expression circRNAs during human skin wound healing. CircGLIS3(2) is identified, a circRNA whose levels transiently rise in dermal fibroblasts acute wounds are abnormally overexpressed keloids, fibrotic condition. Injury signals such as IL‐1α, TGF‐β, hypoxia, ER stress induce both...

Severe trauma to the extremities often includes a combination of fractures and soft tissue injuries. Several publications support that patient outcome is better when skeletal stabilization followed by early soft-tissue coverage. In an effort optimize treatment these patients, we established formalized collaboration in 2008 between Departments reconstructive plastic surgery orthopedics at Karolinska University Hospital.A retrospective review was conducted for all patients who had suffered...

Abstract After a skin injury, keratinocytes switch from state of homeostasis to one regeneration leading the reconstruction epidermal barrier. The regulatory mechanism gene expression underpinning this key during human wound healing is enigmatic. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute new horizon in understanding programs encoded mammalian genome. By comparing transcriptome an acute and same donor as well isolated these paired tissue samples, we generated list lncRNAs showing changed...

Abstract Radiotherapy (RT), a common cancer treatment, unintentionally harms surrounding tissues, including the skin, and hinders wound healing years after treatment. This study aims to understand mechanisms behind these late-onset adverse effects. We compare skin biopsies from previously irradiated (RT + ) non-irradiated − sites in breast survivors who underwent RT ago. Here we show that has compromised capacity fibroblast functions.
