| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate a role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant on wound healing with aging, young and aged mice were utilized for the assessment. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments suggested that ROS during inflammatory phase of wound healing process induced wound contraction via differentiation of dermal fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, leading to promotion of wound healing. Appropriate amount of ROS can promote wound healing. But, excessive amount of ROS can cause cell dysfunction and apoptosis, resulting in impairment of wound healing. The expression of antioxidant in aged mice and the dermal fibroblasts was decreased with aging. Therefore, the intolerance against ROS in aged mice may contribute to impairment of wound healing in aged mice.
