Abstract
Background
Pinocembrin has been widely utilized in clinical settings as a topical treatment for detoxification, inflammation reduction, and healing dermal conditions such as cracked skin and burns.
Methods
In this study, pinocembrin was administered to hypoxia-reoxygenation model in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and 36 rats for 7 days using the McFarlane flap model. Neovascularization was then assessed using Doppler and lead oxide gelatin angiography. Neutrophil infiltration and mean microvessel density were assessed through hematoxylin and eosin staining. Immunofluorescence was employed to assess neovascularization and inflammation by detecting vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Pyroptosis was evaluated using western blot analysis.
Results
Compared with the control group, the experimental groups exhibited a significant increase in flap survival area with the promotion of neovascularization, mitigation of oxidative stress, and suppression of pyroptosis and inflammation.
Conclusion
Pinocembrin enhanced flap survival, promoted neovascularization, mitigated oxidative stress, and suppressed pyroptosis and inflammation by downregulating the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease. This journal covers aspects of aging, cancer, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based disease. Manuscripts focused on using animal models to elucidate biochemical and mechanistic insight in each of these conditions, are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying mechanisms of disease pathways and provide novel contributions to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders. Highly descriptive and method development submissions may be declined without full review. The submission of uninvited reviews to BBA - Molecular Basis of Disease is strongly discouraged, and any such uninvited review should be accompanied by a coverletter outlining the compelling reasons why the review should be considered.
