Chronic, non-healing wounds and inadequate tissue repair characterized by excessive fibrosis continue to have a major negative impact on health and quality of life. Understanding the molecular events required for adequate healing, including the transcriptional control of wound repair, will be important for the development of future therapies. We previously showed that loss of Hoxb13 from murine skin results in enhanced cutaneous wound healing, suggesting that Hoxb13 has a negative effect on wound repair. To test this, we generated skin-specific Hoxb13 transgenic mice that overexpress Hoxb13 in the basal layer of the epidermis via the human keratin 14 promoter. Using these mice, we evaluated the effects of Hoxb13 overexpression on cutaneous wound healing. Transgenic wounds were characterized by persistence of the fibrin clot and prolonged inflammation. Notably neutrophils, which had cleared from wild-type wounds, were still pronounced in transgenic wounds. Marked epidermal hyperplasia was observed at transgenic wound edges and dermal vessels were grossly abnormal compared to wild-type. Both VEGF and TNF-α were upregulated in Hoxb13 transgenic skin. Together, our results identify Hoxb13 as a potential important clinical target in wound healing and other pathologies characterized by abnormal or excessive inflammation, angiogenesis, or epidermal proliferation.
