BMP-7 分子背景
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 (BMP7) is a member of growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes, including embryogenesis, hematopoiesis, neurogenesis and skeletal morphogenesis. BMP-7 Initiates the canonical BMP signaling cascade by associating with type I receptor ACVR1 and type II receptor ACVR2A. BMP-7 can signal through non-canonical pathways such as P38 MAP kinase signaling cascade that promotes brown adipocyte differentiation through activation of target genes, including members of the SOX family of transcription factors.
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a devastating complication of diabetes, presenting limited treatment success rates due to their complex pathophysiology. Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) confers tissue protective and regenerative functions, but its potential role in diabetic wound healing is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of topical BMP7 treatment in wound healing using a streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model. The expression of markers of wound healing progression were detected using RT-PCR or immunohistochemistry. Overall, BMP7 improved wound closure, as well as maturation of granulation tissue and collagen deposition, as evidenced by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome histological analysis. The expression of inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 were decreased in BMP7-treated wounds, together with the number of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and T lymphocytes. The number of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages was increased in BMP7-treated wounds. Moreover, BMP7 decreased oxidative stress and increased Ki67+ cells and CD31+ cells, indicating induced proliferation and angiogenesis in the wound bed compared to the control wounds. Finally, BMP7 activated the ERK pathway and suppressed the p38 pathway in diabetic wounds. Together, our data suggest that BMP7 enhanced skin wound healing in diabetes by decreasing local inflammation and oxidative stress, which promoted a regenerative environment for collagen deposition, wound maturation, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. These findings underline BMP7 as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of skin wounds in diabetes.
