Abstract

Chronic wounds are characterized by impaired healing and uncontrolled inflammation, which compromise the protective role of the immune system and may lead to bacterial infection. Upregulation of miR‐223 microRNAs (miRNAs) shows driving of the polarization of macrophages toward the anti‐inflammatory (M2) phenotype, which could aid in the acceleration of wound healing. However, local‐targeted delivery of microRNAs is still challenging, due to their low stability. Here, adhesive hydrogels containing miR‐223 5p mimic (miR‐223*) loaded hyaluronic acid nanoparticles are developed to control tissue macrophages polarization during wound healing processes. In vitro upregulation of miR‐223* in J774A.1 macrophages demonstrates increased expression of the anti‐inflammatory gene Arg‐1 and a decrease in proinflammatory markers, including TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IL‐6. The therapeutic potential of miR‐223* loaded adhesive hydrogels is also evaluated in vivo. The adhesive hydrogels could adhere to and cover the wounds during the healing process in an acute excisional wound model. Histological evaluation and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis show that local delivery of miR‐223* efficiently promotes the formation of uniform vascularized skin at the wound site, which is mainly due to the polarization of macrophages to the M2 phenotype. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of nanoparticle‐laden hydrogels conveying miRNA‐223* to accelerate wound healing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
