Sumario: | Chronic or delayed healing wounds constitute an ever‐increasing burden on healthcare providers and patients alike. Thus, therapeutic modalities that are tailored to particular deficiencies in the delayed wound healing response are of critical importance to improve clinical outcomes. Human amnion‐derived viable and devitalized allografts have demonstrated clinical efficacy in promoting the closure of delayed healing wounds, but the mechanisms responsible for this efficacy and the specific wound healing processes modulated by these tissues are not fully understood. Here, we utilized a diabetic murine excisional wound model in which healing is driven by granulation and re‐epithelialization, and we applied viable (vHAMA) or devitalized (dHAMA) amnion‐derived allografts to the wound bed in order to determine their effects on wound healing processes. Compared to control wounds that were allowed to heal in the absence of treatment, wounds to which vHAMA or dHAMA were applied demonstrated enhanced deposition of granulation tissue accompanied by increased cellular proliferation and increased de novo angiogenesis, while vHAMA‐treated wounds also demonstrated accelerated re‐epithelialization. Taken together, these data suggest that both vHAMA and dHAMA facilitate wound healing through promoting processes critical to granulation tissue formation. Further understanding of the cellular and tissue mechanisms underlying the effects of tissue‐derived matrices on wound healing will enable tailored prescription of their use in order to maximize clinical benefit. |
