Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is extensively used in clinical settings to enhance the healing of wounds. Despite its widespread use, the molecular mechanisms driving the efficacy of NPWT have not been fully elucidated. In this study, skin wound-healing models were established, with administration of NPWT. Vimentin, collagen I, and MMP9 of skin tissues were detected by immunofluorescence (IF). Gene expression analysis of skin wound tissues was performed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Protein expression was assayed by a Western blotting or IF assay, and mRNA levels were quantified by quantitative PCR. Chromatin accessibility profiles of fibroblasts following NPWT or IL-17 exposure were analyzed by ATAC-seq. In rat wound-healing models, NPWT promoted wound repair by promoting reepithelialization, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis, and proliferation, which mainly occurred in the early stage of wound healing. These differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in NPWT wounds versus control wounds were enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway. IL-17 was identified as an upregulated factor following NPWT in skin wounds. Moreover, the IL-17 inhibitor secukinumab (SEC) could abolish the promoting effect of NPWT on wound healing. Importantly, chromatin accessibility profiles were altered following NPWT and IL-17 stimulation in skin fibroblasts. Our findings suggest that NPWT upregulates IL-17 to promote wound healing by altering chromatin accessibility, which is a novel mechanism for NPWT's efficacy in wound healing. NEW & NOTEWORTHY: To our knowledge, this is the first report of the efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in promoting wound healing via IL-17. Moreover, NPWT and IL-17 can alter chromatin accessibility. Our study identifies a novel mechanism for NPWT's efficacy in wound healing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
