Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Keratinocyte reepithelialization is a rate-limiting event in cutaneous wound repair, which involves the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes to cover the denuded dermal surface. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) has the ability to induce epithelial cell migration while inhibiting proliferation, and controversial results have been generated regarding the effect of TGF-β signaling on reepithelialization. In this study, full-thickness skin wounds were made in keratinocyte-specific Smad4 knockout and the control mice. The wound closure, reepithelialization, keratinocyte proliferation, myofibroblast numbers and collagen deposition of were assessed. The results showed that the proliferation of keratinocytes increased, which accelerated the reepithelialization, and led to faster wound repair in the epidermis of Smad4 mutant mice. Upregulation of keratin 17, 14-3-3 sigma and phosphorylated AKT in the hyperproliferative epidermis may be correlated with the accelerated reepithelialization. We conclude that Smad4 plays an inhibitory role in the keratinocyte-mediated reepithelialization of wound healing.
