Deferoxamine topical cream superior to patch in rescuing radiation-induced fibrosis of unwounded and wounded skin. J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18306. [PMID: 38613357 PMCID: PMC11015393 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Topical patch delivery of deferoxamine (DFO) has been studied as a treatment for this fibrotic transformation in irradiated tissue. Efficacy of a novel cream formulation of DFO was studied as a RIF therapeutic in unwounded and excisionally wounded irradiated skin. C57BL/6J mice underwent 30 Gy of radiation to the dorsum followed by 4 weeks of recovery. In a first experiment, mice were separated into six conditions: DFO 50 mg cream (D50), DFO 100 mg cream (D100), soluble DFO injections (DI), DFO 1 mg patch (DP), control cream (Vehicle), and irradiated untreated skin (IR). In a second experiment, excisional wounds were created on the irradiated dorsum of mice and then divided into four treatment groups: DFO 100 mg Cream (W-D100), DFO 1 mg patch (W-DP), control cream (W-Vehicle), and irradiated untreated wounds (W-IR). Laser Doppler perfusion scans, biomechanical testing, and histological analysis were performed. In irradiated skin, D100 improved perfusion compared to D50 or DP. Both D100 and DP enhanced dermal characteristics, including thickness, collagen density and 8-isoprostane staining compared to untreated irradiated skin. D100 outperformed DP in CD31 staining, indicating higher vascular density. Extracellular matrix features of D100 and DP resembled normal skin more closely than DI or control. In radiated excisional wounds, D100 facilitated faster wound healing and increased perfusion compared to DP. The 100 mg DFO cream formulation rescued RIF of unwounded irradiated skin and improved excisional wound healing in murine skin relative to patch delivery of DFO.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic complication of diabetes. Wound healing in patients with DFU is generally very slow, with a high recurrence rate even after the ulcer healed. The DFU remains a major clinical challenge due to a lack of understanding of its pathogenesis. Given the significant impact of DFU on patient health and medical costs, enhancing our understanding of pathophysiological alterations and wound healing in DFU is critical. A growing body of research has shown that impaired activation of the HIF-1 pathway in diabetics, which weakens HIF-1 mediated responses to hypoxia and leads to down-regulation of its downstream target genes, leading to incurable diabetic foot ulcers. By analyzing and summarizing the literature in recent years, this review summarizes the mechanism of HIF-1 signaling pathway damage in the development of DFU, analyzes and compares the application of PHD inhibitors, VHL inhibitors, biomaterials and stem cell therapy in chronic wounds of diabetes, and proposes a new treatment scheme mediated by participation in the HIF-1 signaling pathway, which provides new ideas for the treatment of DFU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common complication of diabetes, associated with important morbidity. Appropriate animal models of DFUs may improve drug development, and subsequently the success rate of clinical trials. However, while many models have been proposed, they are extremely heterogeneous, and no standard has emerged. We thus propose a systematic review with a network meta-analysis (NMA) to gather direct and indirect evidence, and compare the different mouse models of diabetes-related ulcers. METHODS The systematic search was performed in Pubmed and Embase. The main outcomes were wound size measurement at days 3, 7, 11 and 15 (±1 day). The risk of bias and methodological quality of all included studies was assessed by using the Systematic Review Center for Laboratory animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) risk of bias tool. Meta-regressions were done on prespecified variables, including mouse strain, type of ulcer, sex, age, and use of a splint. FINDINGS We included 295 studies. Among all models, only db/db, ob/ob, streptozotocin (STZ), and STZ + high fat diet mice showed a significantly delayed wound healing, compared with controls, at each time point. Age, sex and ulcer type had influence on wound healing, although not at all time points. INTERPRETATION In conclusion, the db/db model is associated with the largest delay in wound healing The STZ model also exhibits significantly decreased wound healing. STZ + high fat diet and ob/ob mice may also be relevant models of diabetes-related ulcers, although the results rely on a more limited number of studies.

Abstract
Deep tissue injuries (DTIs) are a serious type of pressure injuries that mainly occur at the bony prominences and can develop rapidly, making prevention and treatment more difficult. Although consistent research efforts have been made over the years, the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the development of DTIs remain unclear. More recently, ferroptosis, a novel regulatory cell death (RCD) type, has been identified that is morphological, biochemical and genetic criteria distinct from apoptosis, autophagy and other known cell death pathways. Ferroptosis is characterized by iron overload, iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and shrunken mitochondria. We also note that some of the pathological features of DTI are known to be key features of the ferroptosis pathway. Numerous studies have confirmed that ferroptosis may be involved in chronic wounds, including DTIs. Here, we elaborate on the basic pathological features of ferroptosis. We also present the evidence that ferroptosis is involved in the pathology of DTIs and highlight a future perspective on this emerging field, desiring to provide more possibilities for the prevention and treatment of DTIs.

Abstract
Systemic iron chelation therapy has long been used for iron overload, providing a role in returning iron levels to proper homeostatic concentrations. Recently, topical iron chelation therapy has emerged as a potential strategy for treating skin damage. This narrative review explores the current status and future prospects of topical iron chelation therapy for treating ultraviolet (UV) and non-UV skin damage, as well as its potential application in wound healing. The review was conducted through a literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases, spanning publications from 1990 to 2023. The selection of articles was focused on primary research studies, either experimental or clinical, that explored the implications and formulations of topical iron chelators used alone or in conjunction with another therapeutic agent. The search strategy employed a combination of terms, including "topical iron chelation", "topical deferoxamine", "UV", "wound healing", "skin inflammation", "radiation-induced fibrosis", and "skin cancer". Relevant studies, including methods, intervention strategies, measured outcomes, and findings, are summarized. The review also considered the potential challenges in translating research findings into clinical practice. Results indicate that topical iron chelators, such as deferoxamine, are effective in mitigating UV-induced skin damage, reducing tumorigenesis, and decreasing oxidative damage. In addition, the use of these agents in radiation-induced fibrosis has been shown to significantly increase skin elasticity and reduce dermal fibrosis. Several studies also highlight the use of topical iron chelators in difficult-to-treat chronic wounds, such as diabetic neuropathic ulcers and sickle cell ulcers. In conclusion, topical iron chelation therapy represents a novel and promising approach for skin protection and wound healing. Its potential makes it a promising area of future research.

Abstract
Wound therapies involving gene delivery to the skin have significant potential due to the advantage and ease of local treatment. However, choosing the appropriate vector to enable successful gene expression while also ensuring that the treatment's immediate material components are conducive to healing itself is critical. In this study, we utilized a particulate formulation of the polymer chitosan (chitosan particles, CPs) as a non-viral vector for the delivery of a plasmid encoding human CA5-HIF-1α, a degradation resistant form of HIF-1α, to enhance wound healing. We also compared the angiogenic potential of our treatment (HIF/CPs) to that of chitosan particles containing only the plasmid backbone (bb/CPs) and the chitosan particle vector alone (CPs). Our results indicate that chitosan particles exert angiogenic effects that are enhanced with the human CA5-HIF-1α-encoded plasmid. Moreover, HIF/CPs enhanced wound healing in diabetic db/db mice (p < 0.01), and healed tissue was found to contain a significantly increased number of blood vessels compared to bb/CPs (p < 0.01), CPs (p < 0.05) and no-treatment groups (p < 0.01). Thus, this study represents a method of gene delivery to the skin that utilizes an inherently pro-wound-healing polymer as a vector for plasmid DNA that has broad application for the expression of other therapeutic genes.

Abstract
Pressure injuries (PIs) are localized tissue damage resulting from prolonged compression or shear forces on the skin or underlying tissue, or both. Different stages of PIs share common features include intense oxidative stress, abnormal inflammatory response, cell death, and subdued tissue remodeling. Despite various clinical interventions, stage 1 or stage 2 PIs are hard to monitor for the changes of skin or identify from other disease, whereas stage 3 or stage 4 PIs are challenging to heal, painful, expensive to manage, and have a negative impact on quality of life. Here, we review the underlying pathogenesis and the current advances of biochemicals in PIs. We first discuss the crucial events involved in the pathogenesis of PIs and key biochemical pathways lead to wound delay. Then, we examine the recent progress of biomaterials-assisted wound prevention and healing and their prospects.

Abstract
This experimental study investigates the prophylactic effect of deferoxamine (DFO) on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Thirty-six female Sprague Dawley rats received zoledronic acid (ZA) for eight weeks to create an osteonecrosis model. DFO was locally applied into the extraction sockets with gelatin sponge (GS) carriers to prevent MRONJ. The specimens were histopathologically and histomorphometrically evaluated. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) protein levels in the extraction sockets were quantified. New bone formation rate differed significantly between groups (p = 0.005). Newly formed bone ratios in the extraction sockets did not differ significantly between the control group and the GS (p = 1), GS/DFO (p = 0.749), ZA (p = 0.105), ZA-GS (p = 0.474), and ZA-GS/DFO (p = 1) groups. While newly formed bone rates were higher in the ZA-GS and ZA-GS/DFO groups than in the ZA group, the differences were not significant. HIF-1α levels differed significantly between groups (p < 0.001) and were significantly higher in the DFO and ZA-GS/DFO groups than in the control group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). While HIF-1α levels were higher in the ZA-GS/DFO group than in the ZA group, the difference was not significant. While HIF-1α protein levels and new bone formation rate were elevated in the DFO-treated group, the effect was not significant. Further large-scale studies are needed to understand DFO’s preventative effects on MRONJ and the role of HIF-1α in MRONJ pathogenesis.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) plays a critical role in the mechanisms that allow cells to adapt to various oxygen levels in the environment. Specifically, HIF-1⍺ has shown to be widely involved in cellular repair, survival, and energy metabolism. HIF-1⍺ has also been found in increased levels in cancer cells, highlighting the importance of balance in the hypoxic response. Promoting HIF-1⍺ activity as a potential therapy for degenerative diseases and inhibiting HIF-1⍺ as a therapy for pathologies with overactive cell proliferation are actively being explored. Digoxin and metformin, HIF-1⍺ inhibitors, and deferoxamine and ⍺-ketoglutarate analogues, HIF-1⍺ activators, are being studied for application in age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. However, these same medications have retinal toxicities that must be assessed before implementation of therapeutic care. Herein, we highlight the duality of therapeutic and toxic potential of HIF-1⍺ that must be carefully assessed prior to its clinical application in retinal disorders.

Abstract
There is undisputable benefit in translating basic science research concretely into clinical practice, and yet, the vast majority of therapies and treatments fail to achieve approval. The rift between basic research and approved treatment continues to grow, and in cases where a drug is granted approval, the average time from initiation of human trials to regulatory marketing authorization spans almost a decade. Albeit with these hurdles, recent research with deferoxamine (DFO) bodes significant promise as a potential treatment for chronic, radiation-induced soft tissue injury. DFO was originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1968 for the treatment of iron overload. However, investigators more recently have posited that its angiogenic and antioxidant properties could be beneficial in treating the hypovascular and reactive-oxygen species-rich tissues seen in chronic wounds and radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF). Small animal experiments of various chronic wound and RIF models confirmed that treatment with DFO improved blood flow and collagen ultrastructure. With a well-established safety profile, and now a strong foundation of basic scientific research that supports its potential use in chronic wounds and RIF, we believe that the next steps required for DFO to achieve FDA marketing approval will include large animal studies and, if those prove successful, human clinical trials. Though these milestones remain, the extensive research thus far leaves hope for DFO to bridge the gap between bench and wound clinic in the near future.

Abstract
Significance: By 2030, there will be >4 million radiation-treated cancer survivors living in the United States. Irradiation triggers inflammation, fibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix deposition in addition to reactive oxygen species generation, leading to a chronic inflammatory response. Radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) is a progressive pathology resulting in skin pigmentation, reduced elasticity, ulceration and dermal thickening, cosmetic deformity, pain, and the need for reconstructive surgery. Recent Advances: Deferoxamine (DFO) is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved iron chelator for blood dyscrasia management, which has been found to be proangiogenic, to decrease free radical formation, and reduce cell death. DFO has shown great promise in the treatment and prophylaxis of RIF in preclinical studies. Critical Issues: Systemic DFO has a short half-life and is cumbersome to deliver to patients intravenously. Transdermal DFO delivery is complicated by its high atomic mass and hydrophilicity, preventing stratum corneum penetration. A transdermal drug delivery system was developed to address these challenges, in addition to a strategy for topical administration. Future Directions: DFO has great potential to translate from bench to bedside. An important step in translation of DFO for RIF prophylaxis is to ensure that DFO treatment does not affect the efficacy of radiation therapy. Furthermore, after an initial plethora of studies reporting DFO treatment by intravenous and subcutaneous routes, a significant advantage of recent studies is the success of transdermal and topical delivery. Given the strong foundation of basic scientific research supporting the use of DFO treatment on RIF, clinicians will be closely following the results of the ongoing human studies.

Transdermal deferoxamine administration improves excisional wound healing in chronically irradiated murine skin. J Transl Med 2022; 20:274. [PMID: 35715816 PMCID: PMC9205074 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03479-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation-induced skin injury is a well-known risk factor for impaired wound healing. Over time, the deleterious effects of radiation on skin produce a fibrotic, hypovascular dermis poorly suited to wound healing. Despite increasing understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, therapeutic options remain elusive. Deferoxamine (DFO), an iron-chelating drug, has been shown in prior murine studies to ameliorate radiation-induced skin injury as well as improve wound healing outcomes in various pathologic conditions when administered transdermally. In this preclinical study, we evaluated the effects of deferoxamine on wound healing outcomes in chronically irradiated murine skin. METHODS Wild-type mice received 30 Gy of irradiation to their dorsal skin and were left to develop chronic fibrosis. Stented excisional wounds were created on their dorsal skin. Wound healing outcomes were compared across 4 experimental conditions: DFO patch treatment, vehicle-only patch treatment, untreated irradiated wound, and untreated nonirradiated wounds. Gross closure rate, wound perfusion, scar elasticity, histology, and nitric oxide assays were compared across the conditions. RESULTS Relative to vehicle and untreated irradiated wounds, DFO accelerated wound closure and reduced the frequency of healing failure in irradiated wounds. DFO augmented wound perfusion throughout healing and upregulated angiogenesis to levels observed in nonirradiated wounds. Histology revealed DFO increased wound thickness, collagen density, and improved collagen fiber organization to more closely resemble nonirradiated wounds, likely contributing to the observed improved scar elasticity. Lastly, DFO upregulated inducible nitric oxide synthase and increased nitric oxide production in early healing wounds. CONCLUSION Deferoxamine treatment presents a potential therapeutic avenue through which to target impaired wound healing in patients following radiotherapy.

Novel NMP split liver model recapitulates human IRI and demonstrates ferroptosis modulators as a new therapeutic strategy. Pediatr Transplant 2022; 26:e14164. [PMID: 34633130 DOI: 10.1111/petr.14164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Almost 9%of deceased donor livers are discarded as marginal donor livers (MDL) due to concern of severe ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Emerging data supports ferroptosis (iron regulated hepatocellular death) as an IRI driver, however lack of robust preclinical model limits therapeutic testing. In this manuscript we describe the development of a novel rigorous internal control system utilizing normothermic perfusion of split livers to test ferroptosis regulators modulating IRI. METHODS Upon institutional approval, split human MDLs were placed on our normothermic perfusion machine, Perfusion Regulated Organ Therapeutics with Enhanced Controlled Testing (PROTECT), pumping arterial and portal blood. Experiment 1 compared right (UR) and left (UL) lobes to validate PROTECT. Experiment 2 assessed ferroptosis regulator Deferoxamine in Deferoxamine Agent Treated (DMAT) vs. No Agent Internal Control (NAIC) lobes. Liver serology, histology, and ferroptosis genes were assessed. RESULTS Successful MDL perfusion validated PROTECT with no ALT or AST difference between UR and UL (∆ALT UR: 235, ∆ALT UL: 212; ∆AST UR: 576, ∆AST UL: 389). Liver injury markers increased in NAIC vs. DMAT (∆ALT NAIC: 586, ∆ALT DMAT: -405; ∆AST NAIC: 617, ∆AST DMAT: -380). UR and UL had similar expression of ferroptosis regulators RPL8,HO-1 and HIFα. Significantly decreased intrahepatic iron (p = .038), HO-1 and HIFα in DMAT (HO-1 NAIC: 6.93, HO-1 DMAT: 2.74; HIFαNAIC: 8.67, HIFαDMAT: 2.60)and no hepatocellular necrosis or immunohistochemical staining (Ki67/Cytokeratin-7) differences were noted. CONCLUSION PROTECT demonstrates the therapeutic utility of a novel normothermic perfusion split liver system for drug discovery and rapid translatability of therapeutics, driving a paradigm change in organ recovery and transplant medicine. Our study using human livers, provides preliminary proof of concept for the novel role of ferroptosis regulators in driving IRI.

Abstract
The iron chelator, deferoxamine (DFO), has been shown to potentially improve dermal radiation‐induced fibrosis (RIF) in mice through increased angiogenesis and reduced oxidative damage. This preclinical study evaluated the efficacy of two DFO administration modalities, transdermal delivery and direct injection, as well as temporal treatment strategies in relation to radiation therapy to address collateral soft tissue fibrosis. The dorsum of CD‐1 nude mice received 30 Gy radiation, and DFO (3 mg) was administered daily via patch or injection. Treatment regimens were prophylactic, during acute recovery, post‐recovery, or continuously throughout the experiment (n = 5 per condition). Measures included ROS‐detection, histology, biomechanics and vascularity changes. Compared with irradiated control skin, DFO treatment decreased oxidative damage, dermal thickness and collagen content, and increased skin elasticity and vascularity. Metrics of improvement in irradiated skin were most pronounced with continuous transdermal delivery of DFO. In summary, DFO administration reduces dermal fibrosis induced by radiation. Although both treatment modalities were efficacious, the transdermal delivery showed greater effect than injection for each temporal treatment strategy. Interestingly, the continuous patch group was more similar to normal skin than to irradiated control skin by most measures, highlighting a promising approach to address detrimental collateral soft tissue injury following radiation therapy.

Abstract
Siderophores are low-molecular-weight chelators produced by microorganisms to scavenge iron from the environment and deliver it to cells via specific receptors. Tremendous researches on the molecular basis of siderophore regulation, synthesis, secretion, and uptake have inspired their diverse applications in the medical field. Replacing iron with radionuclides in siderophores, such as the most prominent Ga-68 for positron emission tomography (PET), carves out ways for targeted imaging of infectious diseases and cancers. Additionally, the high affinity of siderophores for metal ions or microorganisms makes them a potent detecting moiety in sensors that can be used for diagnosis. As for therapeutics, the notable Trojan horse-inspired siderophore-antibiotic conjugates demonstrate enhanced toxicity against multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. Besides, siderophores can tackle iron overload diseases and, when combined with moieties such as hydrogels and nanoparticles, a wide spectrum of iron-induced diseases and even cancers. In this review, we briefly outline the related mechanisms, before summarizing the siderophore-based applications in imaging, sensors, and therapeutics.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex, dynamic process supported by a myriad of cellular events that must be tightly coordinated to efficiently repair damaged tissue. Derangement in wound-linked cellular behaviours, as occurs with diabetes and ageing, can lead to healing impairment and the formation of chronic, non-healing wounds. These wounds are a significant socioeconomic burden due to their high prevalence and recurrence. Thus, there is an urgent requirement for the improved biological and clinical understanding of the mechanisms that underpin wound repair. Here, we review the cellular basis of tissue repair and discuss how current and emerging understanding of wound pathology could inform future development of efficacious wound therapies.

Abstract
Growth factors (GFs) play a crucial role in directing stem cell behavior and transmitting information between different cell populations for tissue regeneration. However, their utility as therapeutics is limited by their short half-life within the physiological microenvironment and significant side effects caused by off-target effects or improper dosage. "Smart" materials that can not only sustain therapeutic delivery over a treatment period but also facilitate on-demand release upon activation are attracting significant interest in the field of GF delivery for tissue engineering. Three properties are essential in engineering these "smart" materials: 1) the cargo vehicle protects the encapsulated therapeutic; 2) release is targeted to the site of injury; 3) cargo release can be modulated by disease-specific stimuli. The aim of this review is to summarize the current research on stimuli-responsive materials as intelligent vehicles for controlled GF delivery; Five main subfields of tissue engineering are discussed: skin, bone and cartilage, muscle, blood vessel, and nerve. Challenges in achieving such "smart" materials and perspectives on future applications of stimuli-responsive GF delivery for tissue regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
Significance: The skin undergoes an inevitable degeneration as an individual ages. As intrinsic and extrinsic factors degrade the structural integrity of the skin, it experiences a critical loss of function and homeostatic stability. Thus, aged skin becomes increasingly susceptible to injury and displays a prolonged healing process. Recent Advances: Several studies have found significant differences during wound healing between younger and older individuals. The hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) signaling pathway has recently been identified as a major player in wound healing. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are pleiotropic key regulators of oxygen homeostasis. HIF-1α is essential to neovascularization through its regulation of cytokines, such as SDF-1α (stromal cell-derived factor 1-alpha) and has been shown to upregulate the expression of genes important for a hypoxic response. Prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins (PHDs) and factor inhibiting HIF effectively block HIF-1α signaling in normoxia through hydroxylation, preventing the signaling cascade from activating, leading to impaired tissue survival. Critical Issues: Aged wounds are a major clinical burden, resisting modern treatment and costing millions in health care each year. At the molecular level, aging has been shown to interfere with PHD regulation, which in turn prevents HIF-1α from activating gene expression, ultimately leading to impaired healing. Other studies have identified loss of function in cells during aging, impeding processes such as angiogenesis. Future Directions: An improved understanding of the regulation of molecular mediators, such as HIF-1α and PHD, will allow for manipulation of the various factors underlying delayed wound healing in the aged. The findings highlighted in this may facilitate the development of potential therapeutic approaches involved in the alteration of cellular dynamics and aging.
