MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are among various bioactive molecules under investigation for diabetic wound healing. The prolonged pro-inflammatory phase in diabetic wounds partly attributes to its non-healing nature. Therefore, we hypothesized that miRNA-497, known for its regulation of inflammatory responses, would enhance diabetic wound healing. We screened miRNA candidates, including miRNA-497 in the wounded skin of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic mice. The therapeutic potential of miRNA-497 mimic was studied by intradermal injection around the wound in diabetic mice. In addition, the effects of miRNA-497 on pro-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed in the wound lesion of diabetic mice, and in human dermal fibroblasts cells exposed to high glucose and lipopolysaccharide.We found a significant reduction of miRNA-497 expression in the dermal wounds of the diabetic mice relative to normal mice. Intradermal injection of miRNA-497 around the full-thickness dermal wounds in diabetic mice accelerated wound closure effectively compared to the control miRNA. miRNA-497 treatment in vivo and in vitro decreased representative pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha. Such anti-inflammatory effects of miRNA-497 shed light on its role in accelerating diabetic wound healing. In conclusion, miRNA-497, with its down-regulation activity for pro-inflammatory cytokines, is proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for diabetic wound healing.
