Abstract
Burn injuries are complex, life-threatening events involving intricate cellular and molecular processes, including angiogenesis, which is vital for effective wound healing. Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP), a bioactive compound from Bletilla striata, exhibits anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. However, its impact on angiogenesis modulation, particularly through the synaptopodin-2-like (SCEL) gene, remains poorly understood. The effects of BSP on HMEC-1 cells exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were assessed using cell viability, migration, apoptosis, and angiogenesis assays. SCEL's role was explored through lentiviral transfection to manipulate SCEL expression. Animal models were employed to evaluate BSP's therapeutic potential in burn wound healing, with histological analysis, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and molecular assays to assess tissue repair and angiogenesis. BSP significantly alleviated LPS-induced damage in HMEC-1 cells by promoting cell survival, reducing apoptosis, and enhancing migration and angiogenesis. BSP treatment downregulated SCEL expression, reversing LPS-induced cellular damage. In SCEL-overexpressing cells and mice, BSP's beneficial effects on wound healing were attenuated, indicating SCEL's regulatory role in angiogenesis. In vivo, BSP accelerated burn wound closure, improved tissue organization, and enhanced angiogenesis, as evidenced by increased CD31 expression. SCEL overexpression impaired these effects, highlighting the essential role of SCEL downregulation in BSP-mediated healing. BSP promotes burn wound healing by modulating angiogenesis via SCEL downregulation, facilitating cell survival, migration, and vascularization. These findings position BSP as a promising therapeutic agent for burn wound treatment, with further investigation into SCEL's molecular mechanisms offering potential for novel wound care strategies.
