Allogeneic platelet-rich plasma promotes wound collagen synthesis in diabetic rats / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich plasma has benefit in diabetic wound healing;however, the effect of al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma is stil unclear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma on col agen synthesis during diabetic wound healing. METHODS:Streptozocin-induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma group and saline control group. Each group had 15 rats. A 1 cm2 ful-thickness skin defect on the rat dorsum was excised. Platelet-rich plasma or saline was applied. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared from the whole blood of al ogeneic healthy rats. Animals of each group were sacrificed on 3, 7, 14 days post operation. The differences of the wound closure rate, morphological character, hydroxyproline content and the relative mRNA expression of the col agen were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The wound closure rates were lower in control group on day 3, 7, 14 post operation (P<0.05). Masson staining showed a decreased, disorder, loose col agen fibers distribution in diabetic control wound tissue. The results of the hydroxyproline test showed hydroxyproline content was significantly higher in platelet-rich plasma group at each time point (P<0.01). The relative mRNA expression of type I and III col agen presented a higher expression in platelet-rich plasma treated wound tissue at each time point (P<0.05). And the ratio between type I and III col agen was higher in platelet-rich plasma group at each time point (P<0.05). In summary, al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma can promote diabetic wounds healing, which may attribute to an enhanced col agen synthesis.
