Abstract
There is a lack of effective treatment options for diabetic refractory wounds, which presents a critical clinical issue that needs to be addressed urgently. Our research has demonstrated that human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (plaMSCs) facilitate the migration and proliferation of HaCat cells, thereby enhancing diabetic wound healing primarily via the exosomes derived from plaMSCs (plaMSCs-Ex). Using label-free proteomics, plaMSCs and their exosomes were analysed for proteome taxonomic content in order to explore the underlying effective components mechanism of plaMSCs-Ex in diabetic wound healing. Differentially expressed proteins enriched in plaMSCs-Ex were identified and underwent bioinformatics analysis including GO annotation, KEGG pathway enrichment, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and protein-protein interaction analysis (PPI). Results showed that the proteins enriched in plaMSCs-Ex are significantly involved in extracellular matrix organisation, epithelium morphogenesis, cell growth, adhesion, proliferation and angiogenesis. PPI analysis filtered 2 wound healing-related clusters characterised by hub proteins such as POSTN, FN1, SPARC, TIMP1, SERPINE1, LRP1 and multiple collagens. In brief, the exosomal proteins derived from plaMSCs reveal diverse functions of regeneration and tissue remodelling based on proteomics analysis and potentially play a role in diabetic wound healing.
