Abstract
Wound healing is a highly coordinated biological process encompassing four distinct yet interconnected stages. Notably, microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation is related to non-healing wounds, and miRNAs are considered promising therapeutic targets for wound healing. However, its function and underlying mechanism in wound healing remain incompletely understood. Here, we detected and characterized the miRNA expression patterns during wound healing. Interestingly, miR-301a-5p was significantly downregulated in the initial inflammatory stage and finally peaked in early proliferative phases, suggesting its potential role in modulating phase transition from inflammatory to proliferative phase. Moreover, miR-301a-5p not only promoted the proliferation and migration of macrophages, but also suppressed the excessive inflammatory response, as evidenced by both facilitating the expression of IL-10 and TGF-β and suppressing the pro-inflammatory factors expression. Mechanistically, miR-301a-5p directly targeted inhibitor of κB kinaseβ (IKKβ) and regulated its expression to modulate nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway and macrophage polarization (M1 to M2). Importantly, miR-301a-5p overexpression significantly promoted the regeneration of full-thickness skin wound in mice by regulating NF-κB and macrophage polarization, thereby facilitating epidermal regeneration and collagen deposition. Together, our study found that miR-301a-5p as a novel regulator in the wound healing process transition, and provided potent pro-healing agents for wound healing.

Abstract
Diabetes-related osteoporosis has been known to be a consequence of oxidative stress caused by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the tissues. Despite the increase in the number of individuals with diabetes-related osteoporosis year on year, there is still no effective drug that does not induce adverse side effects. Glabridin, which exerts hypoglycemic effects and possesses antioxidant properties, may have beneficial effects in the treatment of diabetes-related osteoporosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the preventive effects of glabridin in counteracting oxidative stress-induced bone loss and its underlying mechanisms. A diabetic rat model was established by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin into male Wistar rats. The diabetic rats were orally gavaged daily with glabridin or glyburide for 8 weeks. The presence of diabetes significantly decreased the rats' tibia length, bone thickness, epiphyseal plate length, and collagen deposition compared to the control rats; in comparison, treatment with glabridin for 8 weeks significantly reversed these effects. In our in vitro study, the treatment of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts with glabridin up to 7.5 µM for 48 h showed no cytotoxic effect. However, pretreatment with glabridin significantly prevented oxidative stress-induced inhibition of cell proliferation. In addition, glabridin significantly diminished ROS production, restored antioxidant enzyme activity, and mitigated cellular apoptosis. These effects occurred by stimulating the phosphorylation of Akt, GSK-3β, and P65 NF-ĸB proteins. The above results show that glabridin alleviated oxidative stress-induced bone loss and osteoblast cell apoptosis by modulating the expression of the Akt/NF-ĸB and Akt/GSK-3β pathways.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process involving multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms. Ubiquitination, a crucial post-translational modification, plays a vital role in regulating various aspects of wound healing through protein modification and degradation. This review comprehensively examines the molecular mechanisms of ubiquitination in wound healing, focusing on its regulation of inflammatory responses, macrophage polarization, angiogenesis, and the activities of fibroblasts and keratinocytes. We discuss how ubiquitination modifies key signaling pathways, including TGF-β/Smad3, NF-κB, and HIF-α, which are essential for proper wound healing. Understanding these mechanisms provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies for treating impaired wound healing, particularly in conditions such as diabetes. The review highlights recent advances in understanding ubiquitination's role in wound healing and discusses future research directions for developing targeted therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds pose a significant global health challenge. Although curcumin exhibits promising wound healing and antibacterial properties, its clinical potential is limited by low aqueous solubility, and poor tissue penetration. This study aimed to address these challenges and enhance the wound healing efficacy of curcumin by loading it onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The properties of the AuNPs, including particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, percent drug entrapment efficiency (%EE) and UV-Vis spectra were significantly influenced by the curcumin/gold chloride molar ratio used in the synthesis of AuNPs. The optimal formulation (F2) exhibited the smallest particle size (41.77 ± 6.8 nm), reasonable PDI (0.59 ± 0.17), high %EE (94.43 ± 0.25 %), a moderate zeta potential (-8.44 ± 1.69 mV), and a well-defined surface Plasmon resonance peak at 526 nm. Formulation F2 was incorporated into Pluronic® F127 gel to facilitate its application to the skin. Both curcumin AuNPs solution and gel showed sustained drug release and higher skin permeation parameters compared with the free drug solution. AuNPs significantly enhanced curcumin's antibacterial efficacy by lowering the minimum inhibitory concentrations and enhancing antibacterial biofilm activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. In a diabetic wound rat model, AuNPs-loaded curcumin exhibited superior wound healing attributes compared to the free drug. Specifically, it demonstrated improved wound healing percentage, reduced wound oxidative stress, increased wound collagen deposition, heightened anti-inflammatory effects, and enhanced angiogenesis. These findings underscore the potential of AuNPs as efficacious delivery systems of curcumin for improved wound healing applications.

Abstract
Healing process in the oral cavity is influenced by a range of systemic factors. More specifically, patient health status, medications, habits, and nutritional state play crucial roles in dental healing. Additionally, the body's immune response, inflammation, and overall well-being are key determinants in wound repair. Understanding these systemic factors is essential for dental professionals to optimize patient care, minimize complications, and achieve successful healing.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a complex series of events that requires a local inflammatory reaction to initiate the reparative process. This inflammatory reaction is important for stimulating the migration and proliferation of mesenchymal progenitor cells from the periosteum and surrounding tissues to form the cartilaginous and bony calluses. The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 family has gained attention for its potential regenerative effects; however, the requirement of IL-17 signaling within mesenchymal progenitor cells for normal secondary fracture healing remains unknown. The conditional knockout of IL-17 receptor a (Il17ra) in mesenchymal progenitor cells was achieved by crossing Il17raF/F mice with Prx1-cre mice to generate Prx1-cre; Il17raF/F mice. At 3 months of age, mice underwent experimental unilateral mid-diaphyseal femoral fractures and healing was assessed by micro-computed tomography (µCT) and histomorphometric analyses. The effects of IL-17RA signaling on the osteogenic differentiation of fracture-activated periosteal cells was investigated in vitro. Examination of the intact skeleton revealed that the conditional knockout of Il17ra decreased the femoral cortical porosity but did not affect any femoral trabecular microarchitectural indices. After unilateral femoral fractures, Il17ra conditional knockout impacted the cartilage and bone composition of the fracture callus that was most evident early in the healing process (day 7 and 14 post-fracture). Furthermore, the in vitro treatment of fracture-activated periosteal cells with IL-17A inhibited osteogenesis. This study suggests that IL-17RA signaling within Prx1+ mesenchymal progenitor cells can influence the early stages of endochondral ossification during fracture healing.

Abstract
Diabetes represents a major risk factor for impaired fracture healing. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a growing epidemic worldwide, hence an increase in diabetes-related complications in fracture healing can be expected. However, the underlying mechanisms are not yet completely understood. Different mouse models are used in preclinical trauma research for fracture healing under diabetic conditions. The present review elucidates and evaluates the characteristics of state-of-the-art murine diabetic fracture healing models. Three major categories of murine models were identified: Streptozotocin-induced diabetes models, diet-induced diabetes models, and transgenic diabetes models. They all have specific advantages and limitations and affect bone physiology and fracture healing differently. The studies differed widely in their diabetic and fracture healing models and the chosen models were evaluated and discussed, raising concerns in the comparability of the current literature. Researchers should be aware of the presented advantages and limitations when choosing a murine diabetes model. Given the rapid increase in type II diabetics worldwide, our review found that there are a lack of models that sufficiently mimic the development of type II diabetes in adult patients over the years. We suggest that a model with a high-fat diet that accounts for 60% of the daily calorie intake over a period of at least 12 weeks provides the most accurate representation.

Abstract
Challenging skeletal repairs are frequently seen in patients experiencing systemic inflammation. To tackle the complexity and heterogeneity of the skeletal repair process, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing and revealed that progenitor cells were one of the major lineages responsive to elevated inflammation and this response adversely affected progenitor differentiation by upregulation of Rbpjk in fracture nonunion. We then validated the interplay between inflammation (via constitutive activation of Ikk2, Ikk2ca) and Rbpjk specifically in progenitors by using genetic animal models. Focusing on epigenetic regulation, we identified Rbpjk as a direct target of Dnmt3b. Mechanistically, inflammation decreased Dnmt3b expression in progenitor cells, consequently leading to Rbpjk upregulation via hypomethylation within its promoter region. We also showed that Dnmt3b loss-of-function mice phenotypically recapitulated the fracture repair defects observed in Ikk2ca-transgenic mice, whereas Dnmt3b-transgenic mice alleviated fracture repair defects induced by Ikk2ca. Moreover, Rbpjk ablation restored fracture repair in both Ikk2ca mice and Dnmt3b loss-of-function mice. Altogether, this work elucidates a common mechanism involving a NF-κB/Dnmt3b/Rbpjk axis within the context of inflamed bone regeneration. Building on this mechanistic insight, we applied local treatment with epigenetically modified progenitor cells in a previously established mouse model of inflammation-mediated fracture nonunion and showed a functional restoration of bone regeneration under inflammatory conditions through an increase in progenitor differentiation potential.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are slow healing wounds characterized by disordered healing processes and frequently take longer than three months to heal. One of the defining characteristics of impaired diabetic wound healing is an abnormal and unresolved inflammatory response, which is primarily brought on by abnormal macrophage innate immune signaling activation. The persistent inflammatory state in a diabetic wound may be attributed to inflammatory pathways such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) and nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which have long been associated with inflammatory diseases. Despite the available treatments for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) that include debridement, growth factor therapy, and topical anti-bacterial agents, successful wound healing is still hampered. Further understanding of the molecular mechanism of these pathways could be useful in designing potential therapeutic targets for diabetic wound healing. This review provides an update and novel insights into the roles of NF-ĸB and NLRP3 pathways in the molecular mechanism of diabetic wound inflammation and their potential as therapeutic targets in diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes mellitus is associated with higher risks of long bone and jaw fractures. It is also associated with a higher incidence of delayed union or non-union. Our previous investigations concluded that a dominant mechanism was the premature loss of cartilage during endochondral bone formation associated with increased osteoclastic activities. We tested the hypothesis that FOXO1 plays a key role in diabetes-impaired angiogenesis and chondrocyte apoptosis. Methods Closed fractures of the femur were induced in mice with lineage-specific FOXO1 deletion in chondrocytes. The control group consisted of mice with the FOXO1 gene present. Mice in the diabetic group were rendered diabetic by multiple streptozotocin injections, while mice in the normoglycemic group received vehicle. Specimens were collected 16 days post fracture. The samples were fixed, decalcified, and embedded in paraffin blocks for immunostaining utilizing anti cleaved caspase-3 or CD31 specific antibodies compared with matched control IgG antibody, and apoptosis by the TUNEL assay. Additionally, ATDC5 chondrocytes were examined in vitro by RT-PCR, luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Results Diabetic mice had ~ 50% fewer blood vessels compared to normoglycemic mice FOXO1 deletion in diabetic mice partially rescued the low number of blood vessels (p < 0.05). Additionally, diabetes increased caspase-3 positive and apoptotic chondrocytes by 50%. FOXO1 deletion in diabetic animals blocked the increase in both to levels comparable to normoglycemic animals (p < 0.05). High glucose (HG) and high advanced glycation end products (AGE) levels stimulated FOXO1 association with the caspase-3 promoter in vitro, and overexpression of FOXO1 increased caspase-3 promoter activity in luciferase reporter assays. Furthermore, we review previous mechanistic studies demonstrating that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibition reverses impaired angiogenesis and reverses high levels of chondrocyte apoptosis that occur in fracture healing. Discussion New results presented here, in combination with recent studies, provide a comprehensive overview of how diabetes, through high glucose levels, AGEs, and increased inflammation, impair the healing process by interfering with angiogenesis and stimulating chondrocyte apoptosis. FOXO1 in diabetic fractures plays a negative role by reducing new blood vessel formation and increasing chondrocyte cell death which is distinct from its role in normal fracture healing.

Abstract
The regeneration of alveolar bone is still clinical challenge, particularly accompanied with diabetes, causing metabolic disorder with a protracted low-grade inflammatory phenotype. As a result, the anticipated loading of biomaterials is highly suspicious in spontaneous modulation of cells function, which is mostly disturbed by constant inflammation. In this study, we developed glucose and hydrogen peroxide dual-responsive borosilicate glass (BSG) scaffolds loaded with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) to synergistically modulate the abnormal inflammation of diabetic alveolar bone defects. It was found that the release of EGCG by BSG could directly regulate the shift of macrophages from M1 to the M2 phenotype by promoting autophagy and lessening the inhibition of autophagic flux. Moreover, EGCG can also indirectly regulate the polarization phenotype of macrophages by reducing the activation of NF-κb in stem cells and restoring its immunoregulatory capacity. Therefore, the addition of EGCG to BSG scaffold in diabetes allows for a more striking modulation of the macrophage phenotype in a timely manner. The altered macrophage phenotype reduces local inflammation and thus increases the ability to repair diabetic alveolar bone, showing promise for the treatment of alveolar defect in diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified to play an important role in diabetes. The aim of the present study was to determine the expression and function of small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in diabetic inflammation. METHODS For the in vitro experiments, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to detect LncRNA SNHG16 expression in the high-glucose state. The potential microRNA sponge target of LncRNA SNHG16, miR-212-3p, was detected by dual-luciferase reporter analysis and qRT-PCR. For the in vivo experiments, glucose changes in mice were detected after si-SNHG16 treatment, and SNHG16 and inflammatory factor expression in kidney tissues were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS LncRNA SNHG16 was upregulated in diabetic patients, HG-induced THP-1 cells, and diabetic mice. Silencing SNHG16 inhibited the diabetic inflammatory response and the development of diabetic nephropathy. miR-212-3p was found to be directly dependent on LncRNA SNHG16. miR-212-3p could inhibitor P65 phosphorylation in THP-1 cells. The miR-212-3p inhibitor reversed the action of si-SNHG16 in THP-1 cells and induced an inflammatory response in THP-1 cells. LncRNA SNHG16 was also found to be higher in the peripheral blood of diabetic patients than in the normal person. The area under the ROC curve is 0.813. CONCLUSION These data suggested that silencing LncRNA SNHG16 suppresses diabetic inflammatory responses by competitively binding miR-212-3p to regulate NF-κB. LncRNA SNHG16 can be used as a novel biomarker for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Aim Addressing both inflammation and epithelialization during the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers is an important step, but current treatment options are limited. MiRNA has important prospects in the treatment of diabetic foot refractory wound ulcers. Previous studies have reported that miR-185-5p reduces hepatic glycogen production and fasting blood glucose levels. We herein hypothesized that miR-185-5p might play an important role in the field of diabetic foot wounds. Materials and Methods MiR-185-5p in skin tissue samples from patients with diabetic ulcers and diabetic rats were measured using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The streptozotocin-induced diabetes rat model (male Sprague-Dawley rats) for diabetic wound healing was conducted. The therapeutic potential was observed by subcutaneous injection of miR-185-5p mimic into diabetic rat wounds. The anti-inflammation roles of miR-185-5p on human dermal fibroblast cells were analyzed. Results We found that miR-185-5p is significantly downregulated in diabetic skin (people with DFU and diabetic rats) compared to controls. Further, in vitro upregulation of miR-185-5p decreased the inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF-α) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) of human skin fibroblasts under advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Meanwhile, the increase of miR-185-5p promoted cell migration. Our results also confirmed that the topical increase of miR-185-5p decreases diabetic wound p-nuclear factor-κB (p-NF-κB), ICAM-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and CD68 expression in diabetic wounds. MiR-185-5p overexpression boosted re-epithelization and expedited wound closure of diabetic rats. Conclusion MiR-185-5p accelerated wound healing of diabetic rats, reepithelization, and inhibited the inflammation of diabetic wounds in the healing process, a potentially new and valid treatment for refractory diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the role of the immune cells and their interaction with cells found in gingiva, periodontal ligament, and bone that leads to net bone loss in periodontitis or bone remodeling in orthodontic tooth movement. RECENT FINDINGS Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral diseases causing inflammation in the soft and hard tissues of the periodontium and is initiated by bacteria that induce a host response. Although the innate and adaptive immune response function cooperatively to prevent bacterial dissemination, they also play a major role in gingival inflammation and destruction of the connective tissue, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone characteristic of periodontitis. The inflammatory response is triggered by bacteria or their products that bind to pattern recognition receptors that induce transcription factor activity to stimulate cytokine and chemokine expression. Epithelial, fibroblast/stromal, and resident leukocytes play a key role in initiating the host response and contribute to periodontal disease. Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) experiments have added new insight into the roles of various cell types in the response to bacterial challenge. This response is modified by systemic conditions such as diabetes and smoking. In contrast to periodontitis, orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a sterile inflammatory response induced by mechanical force. Orthodontic force application stimulates acute inflammatory responses in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone stimulated by cytokines and chemokines that produce bone resorption on the compression side. On the tension side, orthodontic forces induce the production of osteogenic factors, stimulating new bone formation. A number of different cell types, cytokines, and signaling/pathways are involved in this complex process. Inflammatory and mechanical force-induced bone remodeling involves bone resorption and bone formation. The interaction of leukocytes with host stromal cells and osteoblastic cells plays a key role in both initiating the inflammatory events as well as inducing a cellular cascade that results in remodeling in orthodontic tooth movement or in tissue destruction in periodontitis.

Abstract
A major challenge in the field of diabetic wound healing is to confirm the body's intrinsic mechanism that could sense the immune system damage promptly and protect the wound from non-healing. Accumulating literature indicates that macrophage, a contributor to prolonged inflammation occurring at the wound site, might play such a role in hindering wound healing. Likewise, other immune cell dysfunctions, such as persistent neutrophils and T cell infection, may also lead to persistent oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction during diabetic wound healing. In this article, we discuss recent advances in the immune cellular components in wounds under the diabetic milieu, and the role of key signaling mechanisms that compromise the function of immune cells leading to persistent wound non-healing.

Abstract
Injuries that heal by fibrosis can compromise organ function and increase patient morbidity. The oral mucosal barrier has a high regenerative capacity with minimal scarring, but the cellular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we identify distinct postnatal paired-related homeobox-1+ (Prx1+) cells as a critical fibroblast subpopulation that expedites mucosal healing by facilitating early immune response. Using transplantation and genetic ablation model in mice, we show that oral mucosa enriched with Prx1+ cells heals faster than those that lack Prx1+ cells. Lineage tracing and scRNA-seq reveal that Prx1+ fibroblasts exhibit progenitor signatures in physiologic and injured conditions. Mechanistically, Prx1+ progenitors accelerate wound healing by differentiating into immunomodulatory SCA1+ fibroblasts, which prime macrophage recruitment through CCL2 as a key part of pro-wound healing response. Furthermore, human Prx1+ fibroblasts share similar gene and spatial profiles compared to their murine counterpart. Thus, our data suggest that Prx1+ fibroblasts may provide a valuable source in regenerative procedures for the treatment of corneal wounds and enteropathic fibrosis.

Abstract
This study mainly analyzed the relationship between nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ1)/Smad under high glucose environment and its influence on wound healing. Fibroblast NIH-3T3 was used to analyze the effect of high concentration glucose (20 nmol/mL) on cell viability, migration ability, inflammation level and NF-κB pathway. Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC) was used to inhibit NF-κB for rescue experiments. Diabetic mice were used to construct wound healing models. Recombinant TGF-β1 was used to promote wound healing in diabetic mice. FSL-1 was applied to activate NF-κB to verify the mechanism. High glucose inhibited cell viability and migration ability, promoted the expression of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, induced the activation of NF-κB pathway in fibroblasts. Inhibition of NF-κB not only blocked the decrease in cell viability and migration ability induced by high glucose, but also relieved the release of inflammatory factors. TGF-β1 activated the TGF-β1/Smad pathway and promoted wound healing in diabetic mice. Activating the NF-κB pathway not only inhibited the activation of the TGF-β1/Smad pathway, but also alleviated the promoting effect of TGF-β1 on wound healing. In a high glucose environment, the activation of NF-κB may inhibit the function of fibroblasts by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad pathway, resulting in poor wound healing.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder commonly encountered in orthopedic patients. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus increase fracture risk and impair fracture healing. This review examines complex etiology of impaired fracture healing in diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Recent findings point to several mechanisms leading to orthopedic complications in diabetes. Hyperglycemia and chronic inflammation lead to increased formation of advanced glycation end products and generation of reactive oxygen species, which in turn contribute to the disruption in osteoblast and osteoclast balance leading to decreased bone formation and heightening the risk of nonunion or delayed union as well as impaired fracture healing. The mechanisms attributing to this imbalance is secondary to an increase in pro-inflammatory mediators leading to premature resorption of callus cartilage and impaired bone formation due to compromised osteoblast differentiation and their apoptosis. Other mechanisms include disruption in the bone's microenvironment supporting different stages of healing process including hematoma and callus formation, and their resolution during bone remodeling phase. Complications of diabetes including peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease also contribute to the impairment of fracture healing. Certain diabetic drugs may have adverse effects on fracture healing. The pathophysiology of impaired fracture healing in diabetic patients is complex. This review provides an update of the most recent findings on how key mediators of bone healing are affected in diabetes.

Abstract
Background Bone fracture healing is a postnatal regenerative process in which fibrocartilaginous callus formation and bony callus formation are important. Bony callus formation requires osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs. Materials and methods The formation of callus was assessed by μCT, Safranin-O, H&E and Masson trichrome staining. Osteogenesis of MSCs was analyzed by ALP staining, ARS staining, qRT-PCR and WB. And we also used IF and TOP/FOP Flash luciferase reporter to assess the nuclear translocation of PP65. Results In this study, we found Bcl-3 showed a significant correlation with bone fracture healing. Results of μCT showed that loss of Bcl-3 delays bone fracture healing. Safranin-O, H&E and Masson trichrome staining confirmed that loss of Bcl-3 impacted the formation of cartilage and woven bone in callus. Further experiments in vitro manifested that Bcl-3-knockdown could inhibit MSCs osteoblastic differentiation through releasing the inhibition on NF-κB signaling by Co-IP, IF staining and luciferase reporter assay. Conclusions We unveiled that loss of Bcl-3 could lead to inhibited osteogenic differentiation of MSCs via promoting PP65 nuclear translocation. The translational potential of this article Our data demonstrated that overexpression of Bcl-3 accelerates bone fracture healing, which serves as a promising therapeutic target for bone fracture treatment.

Abstract
Skin is composed of diverse cell populations that cooperatively maintain homeostasis. Up-regulation of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway may lead to the development of chronic inflammatory disorders of the skin, but its role during the early events remains unclear. Through analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data via iterative random forest leave one out prediction, an explainable artificial intelligence method, we identified an immunoregulatory role for a unique paired related homeobox-1 (Prx1)+ fibroblast subpopulation. Disruption of Ikkb-NF-κB under homeostatic conditions in these fibroblasts paradoxically induced skin inflammation due to the overexpression of C-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11; or eotaxin-1) characterized by eosinophil infiltration and a subsequent TH2 immune response. Because the inflammatory phenotype resembled that seen in human atopic dermatitis (AD), we examined human AD skin samples and found that human AD fibroblasts also overexpressed CCL11 and that perturbation of Ikkb-NF-κB in primary human dermal fibroblasts up-regulated CCL11. Monoclonal antibody treatment against CCL11 was effective in reducing the eosinophilia and TH2 inflammation in a mouse model. Together, the murine model and human AD specimens point to dysregulated Prx1+ fibroblasts as a previously unrecognized etiologic factor that may contribute to the pathogenesis of AD and suggest that targeting CCL11 may be a way to treat AD-like skin lesions.

Abstract
The treatment of chronic periodontitis is undergoing a transition from simple plaque removal and replacement with substitute materials to regenerative therapy, in which stem cells play an important role. Although stem cell-based periodontal reconstruction has been widely explored, few clinical regeneration studies have been reported. The inflammatory lesions under the impact of host factors such as local microbial–host responses, may impede the regenerative properties of stem cells and destroy their living microenvironment. Furthermore, systemic diseases, in particular diabetes mellitus, synergistically shape the disordered host-bacterial responses and exacerbate the dysfunction of resident periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), which ultimately restrain the capacity of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to repair the damaged periodontal tissue. Accordingly, precise regulation of an instructive niche has become a promising approach to facilitate stem cell-based therapeutics for ameliorating periodontitis and for periodontal tissue regeneration. This review describes host limitations and coping strategies that influence resident or transplanted stem cell-mediated periodontal regeneration, such as the management of local microbial–host responses and rejuvenation of endogenous PDLSCs. More importantly, we recommend that active treatments for systemic diseases would also assist in recovering the limited stem cell function on the basis of amelioration of the inflammatory periodontal microenvironment.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET) facilitate regeneration in different tissues, and their benefit in dermal wound healing has been proven under normal conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of 11,12 EET on dermal wound healing in diabetes. We induced diabetes by i.p. injection of streptozotocin 2 weeks prior to wound creation on the dorsal side of the mouse ear. 11,12 EET was applied every second day on the wound, whereas the control groups received only solvent. Epithelialization was monitored every second day intravitally up to wound closure. Wounds were stained for VEGF, CD31, TGF-β, TNF-α, SDF-1α, NF-κB, and Ki-67, and fibroblasts were counted after hematoxylin-eosin stain on days 3, 6, 9, and 16 after wounding. After induction of diabetes, wounds closed on day 13.00 ± 2.20 standard deviation (SD). Local 11,12 ETT application improved wound closure significantly to day 8.40 ± 1.39 SD. EET treatment enhanced VEGF and CD31 expression in wounds on day 3. It also seemed to raise TNF-α level on all days investigated as well as TGF-β level on days 3 and 6. A decrease in NF-κB could be observed on days 9 and 16 after EET application. The latter findings were not significant. SDF-1α expression was not influenced by EET application, and Ki-67 was significantly less in the EET group on day 9 after EET application. The number of fibroblasts was significantly increased on day 9 after the 11,12 EET application. 11,12 EET improve deteriorated wound healing in diabetes by enhancing neoangiogenesis, especially in the early phase of wound healing. Furthermore, they contribute to the dissolution of the initial inflammatory reaction, allowing the crucial transition from the inflammatory to proliferative phase in wound healing.

Abstract
There is significant interest in understanding the cellular mechanisms responsible for expedited healing response in various oral tissues and how they are impacted by systemic diseases. Depending upon the types of oral tissue, wound healing may occur by predominantly re-eptihelialization, by re-epithelialization with substantial new connective tissue formation, or by a a combination of both plus new bone formation. As a result, the cells involved differ and are impacted by systemic diaseses in various ways. Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic disorder that impairs barrier function and healing responses throughout the human body. In the oral cavity, diabetes is a known risk factor for exacerbated periodontal disease and delayed wound healing, which includes both soft and hard tissue components. Here, we review the mechanisms of diabetic oral wound healing, particularly on impaired keratinocyte proliferation and migration, altered level of inflammation, and reduced formation of new connective tissue and bone. In particular, diabetes inhibits the expression of mitogenic growth factors whereas that of pro-inflammatory cytokines is elevated through epigenetic mechanisms. Moreover, hyperglycemia and oxidative stress induced by diabetes prevents the expansion of mesengenic cells that are involved in both soft and hard tissue oral wounds. A better understanding of how diabetes influences the healing processes is crucial for the prevention and treatment of diabetes-associated oral complications.

Abstract
Impaired bone healing occurs in 5-10% of cases following injury, leading to a significant economic and clinical impact. While an inflammatory response upon injury is necessary to facilitate healing, its resolution is critical for bone tissue repair as elevated acute or chronic inflammation is associated with impaired healing in patients and animal models. This process is governed by important crosstalk between immune cells through mediators that contribute to resolution of inflammation in the local healing environment. Approaches modulating the initial inflammatory phase followed by its resolution leads to a pro-regenerative environment for bone regeneration. In this review, we discuss the role of inflammation in bone repair, the negative impact of dysregulated inflammation on bone tissue regeneration, and how timely resolution of inflammation is necessary to achieve normal healing. We will discuss applications of biomaterials to treat large bone defects with a specific focus on resolution of inflammation to modulate the immune environment following bone injury, and their observed functional benefits. We conclude the review by discussing future strategies that could lead to the realization of anti-inflammatory therapeutics for bone tissue repair.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a multistage process characterized by inflammation, cartilage formation, bone deposition, and remodeling. Chondrocytes are important in producing cartilage that forms the initial anlagen for the hard callus needed to stabilize the fracture site. We examined the role of FOXO1 by selective ablation of FOXO1 in chondrocytes mediated by Col2α1 driven Cre recombinase. Experimental mice with lineage-specific FOXO1 deletion (Col2α1Cre+FOXO1L/L) and negative control littermates (Col2α1Cre-FOXO1L/L) were used for in vivo, closed fracture studies. Unexpectedly, we found that in the early phases of fracture healing, FOXO1 deletion significantly increased the amount of cartilage formed, whereas, in later periods, FOXO1 deletion led to a greater loss of cartilage. FOXO1 was functionally important as its deletion in chondrocytes led to diminished bone formation on day 22. Mechanistically, the early effects of FOXO1 deletion were linked to increased proliferation of chondrocytes through enhanced expression of cell cycle genes that promote proliferation and reduced expression of those that inhibit it and increased expression of cartilage matrix genes. At later time points experimental mice with FOXO1 deletion had greater loss of cartilage, enhanced formation of osteoclasts, increased IL-6 and reduced numbers of M2 macrophages. These results identify FOXO1 as a transcription factor that regulates chondrocyte behavior by limiting the early expansion of cartilage and preventing rapid cartilage loss at later phases.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) is a reliable source of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which have been successfully used for treating osteonecrosis. Considering the functional advantages of BM-MSCs as bone and cartilage reparatory cells and supporting angiogenesis, several donor-related factors are also essential to consider when autologous BM-MSCs are used for such regenerative therapies. Aging is one of several factors contributing to the donor-related variability and found to be associated with a reduction of BM-MSC numbers. However, even within the same age group, other factors affecting MSC quantity and function remain incompletely understood. For patients with osteonecrosis, several underlying factors have been linked to the decrease of the proliferation of BM-MSCs as well as the impairment of their differentiation, migration, angiogenesis-support and immunoregulatory functions. This review discusses the quality and quantity of BM-MSCs in relation to the etiological conditions of osteonecrosis such as sickle cell disease, Gaucher disease, alcohol, corticosteroids, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, diabetes, chronic renal disease and chemotherapy. A clear understanding of the regenerative potential of BM-MSCs is essential to optimize the cellular therapy of osteonecrosis and other bone damage conditions.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) dysfunction is a serious complication in ageing and age-related inflammatory diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Inflammation and oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence alter the immunomodulatory ability of MSCs and hamper their pro-regenerative function, which in turn leads to an increase in disease severity, maladaptive tissue damage and the development of comorbidities. Targeting stem/progenitor cells to restore their function and/or protect them against impairment could thus improve healing outcomes and significantly enhance the quality of life for diabetic patients. This review discusses the dysregulation of MSCs' immunomodulatory capacity in the context of diabetes mellitus and focuses on intervention strategies aimed at MSC rejuvenation. Research pertaining to the potential therapeutic use of either pharmacological agents (NFкB antagonists), natural products (phytomedicine) or biological agents (exosomes, probiotics) to improve MSC function is discussed and an overview of the most pertinent methodological considerations given. Based on in vitro studies, numerous anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants and biological agents show tremendous potential to revitalise MSCs. An integrated systems approach and a thorough understanding of complete disease pathology are however required to identify feasible candidates for in vivo targeting of MSCs.

Abstract
Diabetics are at increased risk for fracture, and experience severely impaired skeletal healing characterized by delayed union or nonunion of the bone. The periosteum harbors osteochondral progenitors that can differentiate into chondrocytes and osteoblasts, and this connective tissue layer is required for efficient fracture healing. While bone marrow-derived stromal cells have been studied extensively in the context of diabetic skeletal repair and osteogenesis, the effect of diabetes on the periosteum and its ability to contribute to bone regeneration has not yet been explicitly evaluated. Within this study, we utilized an established murine model of type I diabetes to evaluate periosteal cell differentiation capacity, proliferation, and availability under the effect of a diabetic environment. Periosteal cells from diabetic mice were deficient in osteogenic differentiation ability in vitro, and diabetic mice had reduced periosteal populations of mesenchymal progenitors with a corresponding reduction in proliferation capacity following injury. Additionally, fracture callus mineralization and mature osteoblast activity during periosteum-mediated healing was impaired in diabetic mice compared to controls. We propose that the effect of diabetes on periosteal progenitors and their ability to aid in skeletal repair directly impairs fracture healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Small GTPase Rap1 (Ras-association proximate 1) is a novel, positive regulator of NO release and endothelial function with a potentially key role in mechanosensing of atheroprotective, laminar flow. Our objective was to delineate the role of Rap1 in the progression of atherosclerosis and its specific functions in the presence and absence of laminar flow, to better define its role in endothelial mechanisms contributing to plaque formation and atherogenesis. Approach and Results: In a mouse atherosclerosis model, endothelial Rap1B deletion exacerbates atherosclerotic plaque formation. In the thoracic aorta, where laminar shear stress-induced NO is otherwise atheroprotective, plaque area is increased in Athero-Rap1BiΔEC (atherogenic endothelial cell-specific, tamoxifen-inducible Rap1A+Rap1B knockout) mice. Endothelial Rap1 deficiency also leads to increased plaque size, leukocyte accumulation, and increased CAM (cell adhesion molecule) expression in atheroprone areas, whereas vascular permeability is unchanged. In endothelial cells, in the absence of protective laminar flow, Rap1 deficiency leads to an increased proinflammatory TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha) signaling and increased NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) activation and elevated inflammatory receptor expression. Interestingly, this increased signaling to NF-κB activation is corrected by AKTVIII-an inhibitor of Akt (protein kinase B) translocation to the membrane. Together, these data implicate Rap1 in restricting Akt-dependent signaling, preventing excessive cytokine receptor signaling and proinflammatory NF-κB activation. CONCLUSIONS Via 2 distinct mechanisms, endothelial Rap1 protects from the atherosclerosis progression in the presence and absence of laminar flow; Rap1-stimulated NO release predominates in laminar flow, and restriction of proinflammatory signaling predominates in the absence of laminar flow. Our studies provide novel insights into the mechanisms underlying endothelial homeostasis and reveal the importance of Rap1 signaling in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a metabolic disorder characterized by inappropriate insulin function. Despite wide progress in genome studies, defects in gene expression for diabetes prognosis still incompletely identified. Prolonged hyperglycemia activates NF-κB, which is a main player in vascular dysfunctions of diabetes. Activated NF-κB, triggers expression of various genes that promote inflammation and cell adhesion process. Alteration of pro-inflammatory and profibrotic gene expression contribute to the irreversible functional and structural changes in the kidney resulting in diabetic nephropathy (DN). To identify the effect of some important NF-κB related genes on mediation of DN progression, we divided our candidate genes on the basis of their function exerted in bloodstream into three categories (Proinflammatory; NF-κB, IL-1B, IL-6, TNF-α and VEGF); (Profibrotic; FN, ICAM-1, VCAM-1) and (Proliferative; MAPK-1 and EGF). We analyzed their expression profile in leukocytes of patients and explored their correlation to diabetic kidney injury features. Our data revealed the overexpression of both proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in DN group when compared to T2D group and were associated positively with each other in DN group indicating their possible role in DN progression. In DN patients, increased expression of proinflammatory genes correlated positively with glycemic control and inflammatory markers indicating their role in DN progression. Our data revealed that the persistent activation NF-κB and its related genes observed in hyperglycemia might contribute to DN progression and might be a good diagnostic and therapeutic target for DN progression. Large-scale studies are needed to evaluate the potential of these molecules to serve as disease biomarkers.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the two-way relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis are unclear. We examined a possible effect of galectin-3 (Gal-3), a factor in DM and bone metabolism, on periodontitis with or without DM. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we detected saliva Gal-3 in patients with periodontitis, with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In animal models, we measured periodontal bone microarchitecture via micro computed tomography, and detected Gal-3, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in alveolar bone. Applying dual luciferase reporter assay, we explored the target binding of miR-124-3p and Gal-3. We examined osteocyte-derived exosomes with transmission electron microscopy and detected miR-124-3p, Gal-3, and IL-6 expression in exosomes. Saliva Gal-3 was increased in DM compared with controls but decreased in patients with moderate periodontitis and DM compared with those who had moderate periodontitis only. Alveolar bone mass was increased in DM and exacerbated in DM with periodontitis. Gal-3 and Runx2 were both increased in periodontitis and DM compared with controls, but decreased in DM with periodontitis compared with DM alone. MiR-124-3p targeted and inhibited Gal-3 expression in vitro. Osteocytes secreted exosomes carrying miR-124-3p, Gal-3, and IL-6, which were influenced by high glucose. These findings indicate that osteocyte-derived exosomes carrying miR-124-3p may regulate Gal-3 expression of osteoblasts, especially under high-glucose conditions, suggesting a possible mechanism for DM-related alveolar bone pathologies.
