Abstract

Healing of cutaneous wounds requires a complex integrated network of repair mechanisms, including the action of newly recruited leukocytes. Using a skin repair model in adult humans, we investigated the role chemokines play in sequential infiltration of leukocyte subsets during wound healing. At day 1 after injury, the C-X-C chemokines IL-8 and growth-related oncogene alpha are maximally expressed in the superficial wound bed and are spatially and temporally associated with neutrophil infiltration. IL-8 and growth-related oncogene alpha profiles also correlate with keratinocyte migration and subsequently subside after wound closure at day 4. Macrophage infiltration reaches the highest levels at day 2 and is paralleled by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA expression in both the basal layer of the proliferative epidermis at the wound margins and mononuclear cells in the wound area. Other monocyte-attracting chemokines such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-3, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha and -1beta, RANTES, and 1309 are undetectable. At day 4, perivascular focal lymphocyte accumulation correlates with strong focal expression of the C-X-C chemokines Mig and IP-10. Our results suggest that a dynamic set of chemokines contributes to the spatially and temporally different infiltration of leukocyte subsets and thus integrates the inflammatory and reparative processes during wound repair.

  • Lower MIG/CXCL9 levels suggest poor remodelling of the wound tissue.

    “In the THS-exposed mouse wounds [65] the levels of this chemokine are lower after 5 days post-wounding suggesting poor remodelling of the wound tissue.”

    From Tobacco toxins deposited on surfaces (third hand smoke) impair wound healing (2016) · cites this paper as [65]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) links Mig to lymphocyte accumulation and suggests that lymphocytes influence tissue repair and remodeling. That provides a rationale for the inference, but the paper studies normal human wounds; it does not show that lower Mig levels predict poor remodeling in THS-exposed mouse wounds. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • MIG/CXCL9 levels are lower after 5 days post-wounding in THS-exposed mouse wounds.

    From Tobacco toxins deposited on surfaces (third hand smoke) impair wound healing (2016) · cites this paper as [65]

    The Results section on Mig, IP-10, and MCP-1 describes Mig expression after day 4 in normally healing human wounds, not THS-exposed mouse wounds. Our copy does not report Mig/CXCL9 levels in THS-exposed mice or a decrease after day 5; searches for those terms found no such result. (LLM, conf=0.78)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Neutrophils are the most abundant inflammatory cells to infiltrate a new wound and function mainly to remove debris and prevent infection.

    “Neutrophils represent the most abundant inflammatory cells to infiltrate a new wound and function mainly to remove debris and prevent infection [22, 23].”

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.
