Why the study?
Chronic non-healing wounds in diabetic patients pose a major problem, especially when complicated by peripheral vascular disease.
Does 11,12 EET improve wound healing in a mouse model of combined hyperglycemia and ischemia?
Does 11,12 EET improve wound healing in a mouse model of combined hyperglycemia and ischemia?
11,12 EET accelerates wound healing in a preclinical mouse model of diabetes and ischemia by modulating inflammation and neovascularization.
11,12-EET accelerates ischemic diabetic wound closure in mice; leaves open translation to human therapy pending clinical trials.
Chronic non healing wounds in diabetic patients still impose a major problem in modern medicine. Especially additional peripheral vascular disease complicates treatment success in these patients. Thus, we analyzed the effects of 11,12 epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) in a combined model of hyperglycemia and ischemia in mice. Hyperglycemia was induced by Streptozotozin 2 weeks prior to wounding. 3 days before wound creation 2 of the 3 suppling vessels of the moue ear were cautherized for ischemia. Either 11,12 EET or solvent for control was applied. Wound closure as well as TNF-α, TGF-β, SDF-1α, VEGF, CD31, and Ki67 were measured. The wounds closed on day 14.4 ± 0.4 standard deviation (SD). 11,12 EET treatment enhanced healing to 9.8 ± 0.6 SD. TNF-α level was augmented on day 9 compared to control and receded on day 18. TGF-β seemed to be elevated all days observed after 11,12 EET treatment. SDF-1α was enhanced on day 6 and 9 by 11,12 EET, and VEGF on day 6 and 18 as well as CD13 on day 3, 6, and 18. 11,12 EET did not alter Ki67. 11,12 EET are able to rescue deteriorated wound healing in a combined model of hyperglycamia and ischemia by resolution of inflammation, augmentation of neovascularization and increasing expression of TGF-β as well as SDF-1α.
