To investigate the effect of α-lipoic acid on the oxidative stress of wound tissues and diabetic wound healing in mice with diabetic feet.
Sixty male C57BL/6J mice weighting 200-300 g were randomly divided into model group (control group, =15), α-lipoic acid-treated model group (=15), miR-29b mimic group (=15), and miR-29b mimic negative control group (NC group, =15). All animals received intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin to establish the diabetic model. Then, a full thickness wound of 5 mm×2 mm in size was created at 4 weeks after modeling. All mice were administrated with high-sugar-fat-diet. At the same day after modeling, α-lipoic acid-treated model group was continuously given intravenous injection of 100 mg/(kg·d) α-lipoic acid for 14 days; miR-29b mimic group and NC group received the tail intravenous injection of lentiviral vector for miR-29b mimic and miR-29b mimic negative control (a total of 2×10 TU), respectively, with the treatment of α-lipoic acid. The wound healing was observed and wound area was measured at 7 and 14 days. The wound tissues were harvested to detect the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) using xanthine oxidase method and 5, 5-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid staining method at 14 days. At the same day, 7, and 14 days after modeling, the relative miR-29b expression in wound tissues from control and α-lipoic acid-treated model groups was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.
All mice survived to the experiment end. The wound healing was faster in α-lipoic acid-treated group than control group. At 7 and 14 days, the relative wound area and miR-29b expression level were significantly lower, while the contents of SOD and GSH were significantly higher in α-lipoic acid-treated group than control group (<0.05). In addition, miR-29b mimic group had significantly increased relative wound area and significantly decreased the contents of SOD and GSH when compared with NC group at 7 and 14 days (<0.05).
α-lipoic acid could inhibit oxidative stress and promote diabetic wound healing by suppressing expression of miR-29b in mice.
探讨α-硫辛酸对糖尿病足小鼠伤口组织氧化应激及糖尿病伤口愈合的影响。
将60只体重200 - 300 g的雄性C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为模型组(对照组,n = 15)、α-硫辛酸处理模型组(n = 15)、miR-29b模拟物组(n = 15)和miR-29b模拟物阴性对照组(NC组,n = 15)。所有动物均腹腔注射链脲佐菌素建立糖尿病模型。然后,在建模后4周制作一个大小为5 mm×2 mm的全层伤口。所有小鼠均给予高糖高脂饮食。建模后当天,α-硫辛酸处理模型组连续14天静脉注射100 mg/(kg·d)α-硫辛酸;miR-29b模拟物组和NC组分别尾静脉注射miR-29b模拟物和miR-29b模拟物阴性对照的慢病毒载体(共2×10 TU),并给予α-硫辛酸治疗。在第7天和第14天观察伤口愈合情况并测量伤口面积。在第14天收集伤口组织,采用黄嘌呤氧化酶法和5,5-二硫代双-2-硝基苯甲酸染色法检测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)水平。在建模后当天、第7天和第14天,采用实时荧光定量PCR检测对照组和α-硫辛酸处理模型组伤口组织中miR-29b的相对表达。
所有小鼠均存活至实验结束。α-硫辛酸处理组伤口愈合较对照组快。在第7天和第14天,α-硫辛酸处理组的相对伤口面积和miR-29b表达水平显著低于对照组,而SOD和GSH含量显著高于对照组(P < 0.05)。此外,在第7天和第14天,与NC组相比,miR-29b模拟物组的相对伤口面积显著增加,SOD和GSH含量显著降低(P < 0.05)。
α-硫辛酸可通过抑制小鼠miR-29b的表达来抑制氧化应激并促进糖尿病伤口愈合。
