Bioactive nanomaterials kickstart early repair processes and potentiate temporally modulated healing of healthy and diabetic wounds
Abstract
Slow-healing and chronic wounds represent a major global economic and medical burden, and there is significant unmet need for novel therapies which act to both accelerate wound closure and enhance biomechanical recovery of the skin. Here, we report a new approach in which bioactives that augment early stages of wound healing can kickstart and engender effective wound closure in healthy and diabetic, obese animals, and set the stage for subsequent tissue repair processes. We demonstrate that a nanomaterial dressing made of silk fibroin and gold nanorods (GNR) stimulates a pro-neutrophilic, innate immune, and controlled inflammatory wound transcriptomic response. Further, Silk-GNR, lasered into the wound bed, in combination with exogeneous histamine, accelerates early-stage processes in tissue repair leading to effective wound closure. Silk-GNR and histamine enhanced biomechanical recovery of skin, increased transient neoangiogenesis, myofibroblast activation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of keratinocytes and a pro-resolving neutrophilic immune response, which are hitherto unknown activities for these bioactives. Predictive and temporally coordinated delivery of growth factor nanoparticles that modulate later stages of tissue repair further accelerated wound closure in healthy and diabetic, obese animals. Our approach of kickstarting healing by delivering the "right bioactive at the right time" stimulates a multifactorial, pro-reparative response by augmenting endogenous healing and immunoregulatory mechanisms and highlights new targets to promote tissue repair.
