OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the treatment effects of chronic ulcer in diabetic rats with self assembling nanofiber gel encapsulated-polydeoxyribonucleotide. METHODS: Diabetic skin ulcer mouse model was established in this study. They were divided into control group, common wound group and infectious wound group. Human embryonic fibroblast cells and vascular endothelial cells were treated with short poly-N-acetyl glucosamine nanofibers and polydeoxyribonucleotide. Their effects on cell proliferation, revascularization and inhibiting infection were detected by RT-PCR, western-blotting, HE staining and immunohistochemical methods respectively. RESULTS: The expression levels of cytokines and angiogenic factors increased in the treatment groups especially in sNAG encapsulated-PDRN group. HE staining results indicated that PDRN, sNAG and sNAG encapsulated-PDRN could improve the wound healing, immunohistochemical results showed that PDRN, sNAG and sNAG encapsulated-PDRN promoted cell proliferation and new vessel formation especially sNAG encapsulated-PDRN. CONCLUSIONS: sNAG encapsulated-PDRN may have a potential application in the treatment of diabetic ulcers and chronic wound healing.
