Abstract Our previous study demonstrated that angiogenesis increased during the recovery of heat-denatured endothelial cells. However, mechanism is still unclear. This aimed to investigate relation autophagy and A rat deep partial-thickness burn model human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) (52 °C for 35 s) were used. Autophagy significantly in dermis HUVECs a time-dependent manner after heat denaturation 2–5 days. Rapamycin-mediated enhanced pro-angiogenic effect, evidenced by proliferation...

Denatured dermis is a part of the in deep burn wound and has ability to restore normal morphology function. In our previous study, we revealed that miR‐29a downregulation denatured may help healing later phase, further enhance type I collagen synthesis. LIN28A, highly‐conserved RNA binding protein expressed during embryogenesis, plays roles development, pluripotency, metabolism, as well tissue repair adults. present investigated functional LIN28A human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) extracellular...

Abstract Background Slow lymphangiogenesis is one crucial reason for the impaired wound healing process in diabetes. Accumulative evidence showed that long noncoding RNA–antisense RNA INK4 locus (ANRIL) could influence lymphangiogenesis. Besides, miR‐181a has been reported to regulate Prox1 essential However, relationship between ANRIL and as well definitive function of not clear. Methods The diabetic mouse model was set up assess rate vivo. Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction...

Our previous study has suggested that downregulated microRNA (miR)-29a in denatured dermis might be involved burn wound healing. However, the exact role of miR-29a healing injury still remains unclear. Here, we found expression was notably upregulated tissues and skin fibroblast cells after thermal injury, thereafter gradually compared with control group. By contrast, collagen, type I, alpha 2 (COL1A2) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) were first reduced subsequently injury. We...

Background Skin grafting with the preservation of denatured dermis is a novel strategy for treatment burn-injured skin. Denatured has ability to restore morphology and function normal skin, but underlying molecular mechanism elusive. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small noncoding RNAs regulate physiology as well disease development. In this study, we assessed potential role miRNA-23b (miR-23b) in regulation cell proliferation migration heat-denatured fibroblasts identified mechanism. Methods The...

ABSTRACT Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis. Our recent studies found that EGF‐attenuated tumor necrosis factor‐α induced HaCaT keratinocyte apoptosis, this effect was accompanied by up‐regulation of the expression peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor β (PPARβ). However, little is known about whether PPARβ functionally involved inhibition apoptosis EGF. Here, we showed EGF up‐regulated DNA‐binding transcriptional...
