Abstract
Abolished or delayed wound healing is a serious problem in clinical surgery, therefore, the new therapy for wound healing is needed. Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing one or more CpG motifs (CpG ODN) has been reported to activate the immune system and improves skin wound healing. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of a new C-type CpG ODN in wound healing. We found that the CpG ODN promoted cell proliferation and collagen I production in human skin fibroblasts cells. Besides, we also investigated the effect of CpG ODN on the activation of immune cells. The macrophages and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) were incubated with CpG ODN. CpG ODN activated macrophage and pDCs via regulating TLR9/MyD88/NF-κB pathway and TLR9/MyD88/IRF7 pathway, respectively. To further evaluate the effect of CpG ODN on wound healing in vivo a wound healing model was established in mice. The results showed that CpG ODN treatment accelerated wound healing in mice. CpG ODN increased cytokines secretion in wound skin and elevated the ratio of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in the spleen. Our results showed that CpG ODN accelerated wound healing, which was partly due to the regulation of fibroblasts and immune response. The findings suggested that the CpG ODN might be a proper medicament for the treatment of wound healing.
