1 What Goes Wrong When Wounds Fail to Heal or Heal Too Much? rof. 1 rofessor of Obstetrics/Gynecology Institute for Wound Research University of Florida 2 Overview of topics Consider wound healing as a spectrum of outcomes: normal scars, fibrotic scars, or chronic wounds Review sequential phases of normal wound healing and recognize the beneficialeffects of controlledinflammation and protease activities Understand the detrimentaleffects on healing of chronic inflammation caused by planktonicand biofilmbacteria, which leads to elevated MM activity in wounds that destroy proteins that are essential to healing (ECM, GFs, receptors) Learn about the key roles that TGFβand CTGF play in stimulating excessive scar formation (fibrosis) and how to reduce pathological scar formation Think of wound healing as a spectrum of clinical outcomes Inadequate healing (Chronic) Normal healing (Repair) Excessive healing (Fibrosis) 3 Venous leg ulcer Good skin scar Hypertrophic scar 1

2 Sequence of molecular and cellular events in skin wound healing Four phases of healing 1. Hemostasis 2. Inflammation 3. Repair 4. Remodeling 1. Clotting 2. Vascular response 3. Inflammation 4. Scar formation 5. Epithelial healing 6. Contraction 7. Scar remodeling 4 Hemostasis Fibrin clot & platelets 5 Vascular response, blood clotting, and platelet release of growth factors DGF EGF VEGF Aggregated platelets FGF TGFβ Fibrin net RBC 6 Key points 1. Fibrin clot forms a provisional wound matrix that promotes coagulation and migration of fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells 2. latelets release growth factors that initiate healing by stimulating chemotaxis, proliferation, and matrix synthesis 2

3 Sequential phases of cytokine and growth factor expression Day 0 to 1 Days 1 to 5 Days 5 to 21 latelets Neutrophils Macrophages Wound tissue cells 7 8 Major families of growth factors Growth factor family Cell source Actions Transforming Growth Factor β TGF-β1 TGF-β2 TGF-β3 latelet Derived Growth Factor DGF-AA, DGF-BB VEGF Fibroblast Growth Factor Acidic FGF, Basic FGF KGF Insulin-like Growth Factor IGF-I, IGF-II Insulin Epidermal Growth Factor EGF, HB-EGF, TGF-α, Amphiregulin, Betacellulin Connective Tissue Growth Factor CTGF latelets Fibroblasts Macrophages latelets Macrophages Keratinocytes Fibroblasts Macrophages Endothelial cells Fibroblasts Liver Skeletal muscle Fibroblasts Macrophages Neutrophils Keratinocytes Macrophages Fibroblasts Endothelial cells Epithelial cells Chemotatic for fibroblast romotes extracellular matrix formation Collagen and TIM synthesis MM synthesis Reduces scarring Collagen Fibronectin Activates immune cells and fibroblasts romotes ECM formation Collagen and TIM synthesis MM synthesis Angiogenesis Angiogenesis Keratinocyte proliferation and migration ECM deposition Keratinocyte & fibroblast proliferation Angiogenesis Collagen synthesis ECM formation Cell metabolism Keratinocyte proliferation and migration ECM formation Collagen synthesis Mediates action of TGF-β on collagen synthesis Inflammation Cytokines, neutrophils, macrophages, proteases, and Reactive Oxygen Species 9 3

4 Controlled wound inflammation is beneficial Neutrophil Macrophage O 2 - H 2 O 2 HOCl MMs Elastase 10 Inflammatory cells kill microorganisms and release proteases (MMs, elastase) that remove denatured ECM components and permit wound healing to proceed. Wounds that are contaminated by bacteria and fungus must not be closed Respiratory burst in neutrophils & macrophages produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that kill bacterial & fungi In the membranes of neutrophils, NADH oxidase generates superoxide (O 2- ), which spontaneously dismutates to H 2O 2, and is converted to hypochlorous acid (HOCl) by myeloperoxidase (MO). These reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially HOCl, participate in the killing of bacteria. The right panels show a bacteria being phagocytized and production of ROS (red color) surrounding the yeast cell 11 Major cytokines involved in wound healing Cytokine Cell source Biological activity ro-inflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α) Interleukin-1 (IL-1) Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Interleukin-8 (IL-8) Interferon-γ(INF-γ) Anti-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin-4 (IL-4) 12 Interleukin-10 (IL-10) macrophages macrophages, keratinocytes macrophages, keratinocytes, MNs macrophages, fibroblasts macrophages, T- lymphocytes T-lymphocytes, basophils, mast cells T-lymphocytes, macrophages, keratinocytes MN margination and cytotoxicity MM synthesis fibroblast and keratinocyte chemotaxis, MM synthesis fibroblast proliferation macrophage and MN chemotaxis collagen synthesis macrophage and MN activation collagen synthesis MM synthesis TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 synthesis fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 synthesis macrophage and MN activation 4

5 Repair phase Conversion of the provisional wound matrix into initial scar tissue 13 rovisional wound matrix is replaced by initial scar tissue rovisional wound matrix (fibrin clot) is replaced by new collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and glycoproteins synthesized by fibroblasts that migrate into the wound. TGFβand CTGFare dominant growth factors that stimulate scar formation. 14 Angiogenesis is stimulated by hypoxia-induced VEGF and controlled MM activity A B C D E F Tissue injury (A) causes hypoxia -induces Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF)-stimulates release of angiogenic growth factors like VEGF -induces MMs -erode holes in the basement membrane (B) surrounding capillaries. Vascular endothelial cells proliferate & migrate to ischemic area (C)- creating new capillary arcs (D, E, F). 15 5

6 Contraction of wounds by myofibroblasts (A) Full thickness excision for melanoma on thigh cannot be closed by surgical means because of its extent and depth. It heals by secondary intention and closes mainly by the formation of new tissue and contraction (skin grafting was not performed at patient s request). (B) After 10 days, granulation tissue can be seen in wound bed. (C) On the 21 st day, the size of the wound bed has markedly decreased through contraction. (D) After 2 years the wound is closed and epithelialized. Tension lines caused by contraction are running towards the center of the wound. MMs secreted by myofibroblasts are required for matrix contraction 16 D Epithelial healing of deep skin wounds Moist healing Dry healing 17 Epithelialization of deep partial thickness or full thickness wounds occurs predominately from the edge of the wound by proliferation and migration of epithelial cells. Epithelialization is more rapid under moist conditions (left) than dry conditions (right) because migrating epithelial cells must penetrate under scab and desiccated matrix Remodeling phase Slow removal of initial irregular scar tissue by proteases and replacement with extracellular matrix that is has more normal structure and composition 18 6

7 Remodeling phase (2) 19 Controlled MMS are necessary for wound healing Debridement, angiogenesis, contraction, epithelial migration, remodeling MMS are necessary for several key process in wound healing 1. Removing denatured matrix 2. Degrading capillary basement membrane for angiogenesis 3. Contraction of ECM by myofibroblasts 4. Migration of epidermal cells 5. Remodeling of scar Is there a common molecular pathology of chronic wounds?? Diabetic foot ulcer Arterial ulcer 21 ressure ulcer Venous ulcer 7

15 43 Summary Healing of acute healing wounds proceeds through four major sequential phases (hemostasis, inflammation, repair, and remodeling) Chronic wounds frequently have bacterial biofilms that cause elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to chronic inflammation Elevated proteases from inflammatory cells destroy essential growth factors, receptors, and ECM proteins, which impairs healing Fibrosis(excessive healing) involves elevated levels of TGFβ and CTGFthat increase synthesis of ECM molecules (collagen) and decreases proteases Reduction of CTGF gene by ASO decreases scarring 44 15
