| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There was abundant matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-9 in exudate obtained from chronic wounds such as from elderly or diabetes mellitus. Excessive MMP-9 may delay wound healing and correlate with clinical severity. Ointment base has been considered to have no pharmacologic actions. However, in this study macrogol, an ointment base, exhibited pharmacologic activity to reduce MMP-9 activity. The concentration of microRNA, miR-126, varied greatly depending on the characteristics of would exudate. The effect of hypoxia on endothelial miRNA and function was evaluated using in vitro cell culture system. Knockdown and overexpression of miR-126 were involved in the regulation of MMP-9 in endothelial cells. The results suggested that miR-126 in chronic wound exudates may be involved in angiogenesis and blood flow, affecting the recovery of chronic wounds. The study may provide platform to develop new strategies of therapy against chronic wounds typically seen in elderly or diabetic patients.
