BACKGROUND Persistent chronic inflammation is one of the main pathogenic characteristics of diabetic wounds. The resolution of inflammation is important for wound healing and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. Interleukin (IL)-25 can modulate the function of macrophage and fibroblast, but its role and mechanism of action in the treatment of diabetic wounds remain largely unclear. METHODS The mice were categorized into diabetic, diabetic + IL-25 and control groups. Human monocytic THP-1 cell line and human dermal fibroblast (HDF) were stimulated under different IL-25 conditions. Then, flow cytometry, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blot (WB), and immunofluorescence (IF) assays were carried out. RESULTS The mice in diabetes group (DG) had a slower wound healing rate, more severe inflammation, less blood vessels and more disordered collagen than those in control group (CG). Intradermal injection of IL-25 could improve these conditions. IL-25 promoted M2 macrophage polarization and fibroblast activation in DG and high-glucose environment. The phenomenon, which was dependent on PI3K/AKT/mTOR and TGF-β/SMAD signaling, could be blocked by LY294002 and LY2109761. CONCLUSIONS IL-25 may serve as a therapeutic target to improve wound healing in diabetic mice.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007378 Interleukins Soluble factors which stimulate growth-related activities of leukocytes as well as other cell types. They enhance cell proliferation and differentiation, DNA synthesis, secretion of other biologically active molecules and responses to immune and inflammatory stimuli. Interleukin
D008262 Macrophage Activation The process of altering the morphology and functional activity of macrophages so that they become avidly phagocytic. It is initiated by lymphokines, such as the macrophage activation factor (MAF) and the macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MMIF), immune complexes, C3b, and various peptides, polysaccharides, and immunologic adjuvants. Activation, Macrophage,Activations, Macrophage,Macrophage Activations
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
