Abstract
An injury that affects the integrity of the skin, either inside or externally, is called a wound. Damaged tissue is repaired by a set of cellular and molecular mechanisms known as wound healing. Quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, may hasten the healing of wounds. The study's objective was to investigate any potential impacts of quercetin on the wound-healing process. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated to varying dose ranges of quercetin (5-320 nM) for 24 and 48 h. Cultured cells were evaluated by using the MTT analysis, wound scratch assay and vascular tube formation. Furthermore the gene expression of VEGF and FGF were evaluated by qRT-PCR to determine the effects of quercetin on angiogenezis and wound repair. Positive effects of quercetin on cellular viability were demonstrated by the MTT experiment. In HUVECs quercetin promoted tube formation, migration, and proliferation while also averting wound breakage. Moreover, quercetin increased the expression of the FGF and VEGF genes, which aid in the healing of wounds in HUVECs. Quercetin may be bioactive molecule that successfully speeds up wound healing by regulating the vasculogenezis and healing cells.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
