ABSTRACT
There is a need in clinical practice for new wound healing techniques to address full thickness skin injuries, particularly in individuals with diabetes. Herein we investigated whether dermal derived matrix hydrogel (DMH) loaded with curcumin (Cur) could promote healing in diabetic rats. Sixty diabetic rats were randomly assigned into the non-treated group, DMH group, Cur group, and DMH+Cur group. According to the phases of wound healing, sampling was done on days 7, 14, and 21 for further assessments. Our results indicated that the wound contraction rate, new epidermal length and thickness, number of fibroblasts and vascular length, collagen deposition, and strength properties of the healed wounds were meaningfully increased in the treatment groups than in the non-treated group, and these changes were more obvious in the DMH+Cur ones. In addition, the expression of VEGF and IL-10 genes were meaningfully upregulated in all treatment groups compared to the non-treated group and were greater in the DMH+Cur group. This is while the number of neutrophils and expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1ß genes decreased more significantly in the DMH+Cur group compared to the other groups. In conclusion, it was found that using both DMH and curcumin has a greater impact on diabetic wound healing.
