    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Currently, there is a lack in therapy that promotes the reepithelialization of diabetic wounds as an alternative to skin grafting. Here, the authors hypothesized that extracellular vesicles from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-EVs) could accelerate wound closure through rescuing the function of keratinocytes in diabetic mice. METHODS: The effect of ADSC-EVs on the biological function of human keratinocyte cells was assayed in vitro. In vivo, 81 male severe combined immune deficiency mice aged 8 weeks were divided randomly into the extracellular vesicle-treated diabetes group (n = 27), the phosphate-buffered saline-treated diabetes group (n = 27), and the phosphate-buffered saline-treated normal group (n = 27). A round, 8-mm-diameter, full-skin defect was performed on the back skin of each mouse. The wound closure kinetics, average healing time, reepithelialization rate, and neovascularization were evaluated by histological staining. RESULTS: In vitro, ADSC-EVs improved proliferation, migration, and proangiogenic potential, and inhibited the apoptosis of human keratinocyte cells by suppressing Fasl expression with the optimal dose of 40 μg/mL. In vivo, postoperative dripping of ADSC-EVs at the dose of 40 μg/mL accelerated diabetic wound healing, with a 15.8% increase in closure rate and a 3.3-day decrease in average healing time. ADSC-EVs improved reepithelialization (18.2%) with enhanced epithelial proliferation and filaggrin expression, and suppressed epithelial apoptosis and Fasl expression. A 2.7-fold increase in the number of CD31-positive cells was also observed. CONCLUSION: ADSC-EVs improve diabetic wound closure and angiogenesis by enhancing keratinocyte-mediated reepithelialization and vascularization. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: ADSC-EVs could be developed as a regenerative medicine for diabetic wound care.
