Far Upstream Element Binding Protein 1 (FUBP1) regulates cell proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis. However, the impact of FUBP1 on diabetic wound healing remains unknown. This study is designed to explore the function and mechanisms of FUBP1 in diabetic wound healing.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 220-240 g) were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 6): a control group (NC) of healthy rats, a model group (DM) of untreated diabetic rats, and a treatment group (DM + FUBP1) of diabetic rats accepting FUBP1 treatment. A 10 mm diameter circular full-thickness skin defect was created on the back of each rat. On days 1 and 7, rats in the treatment group received local injections of 5 µg FUBP1 protein at the wound site, whereas the control group and model group were administered saline. Wound healing was documented on days 0, 3, 7, 10, and 14, with tissue samples from the wound areas collected on day 14 for histological analysis, including H&E staining, Masson's trichrome staining, and immunohistochemistry. Western blot analysis was utilized to assess the expression of GSK-3β, Wnt3a, and β-catenin. In vitro, the effects of various concentrations of AGEs on cell viability and FUBP1 expression were examined in human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). Cells were genetically modified to overexpress FUBP1 using lentiviral vectors and were cultured for 48 h in media with or without AGEs. The impacts on fibroblast proliferation, migration, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling were evaluated using CCK-8, scratch assays, and Western blot analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Animal investigation revealed that from day 7 onwards, the wound healing rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the model group but lower than the control group. On day 14, the wound healing rates were as follows: control group (0.97 ± 0.01), model group (0.84 ± 0.03), and treatment group (0.93 ± 0.01). These differences were statistically significant. Histological analysis indicates that FUBP1 promotes granulation tissue formation, re-epithelialization, and collagen deposition in treatment group. Additionally, FUBP1 protein expression decreased in dermal fibroblasts when exposed to AGEs. Overexpression of FUBP1 significantly enhanced fibroblast proliferation and migration, activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and mitigating the inhibitory effects of AGEs.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results suggest that FUBP1 can be a promising therapeutic target for diabetic wound healing, potentially counteracting the detrimental effects of AGEs on dermal fibroblasts through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.</p>","PeriodicalId":6921,"journal":{"name":"Acta Diabetologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142455407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
