We have previously shown that stromal-derived-factor-1 α(SDF-1α) is down-regulated within diabetic cutaneous wounds, and that direct application of recombinant SDF-1α increases wound closure rates, neovascularization and endothelial progenitor cell(s)(EPC) recruitment. However, increased wound levels of exogenous SDF-1α results in elevated systemic levels of this pro-angiogenic chemokine that raises concerns for tumorgenesis and inflammation. We now seek to test the efficacy of a novel, safer cell-based therapy (CBT) employing ex-vivo primed bone marrow stem cells (BMDSC) with SDF-1 α. We also elucidate the mechanism of action of this new approach for accelerating diabetic wound healing. Unfractionated BMDSC from diabetic Leprdb/db mice were incubated for 20h with SDF-1α(100ng/mL) or BSA(control). Pre-treated-BMDSC (1×106) were injected subcutaneously into full-thickness skin wounds in Leprdb/db mice (n=8/group). Wound closure rates, capillary density and recruitment of EPC were assessed with serial photography, DiI-perfusion, confocal microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Expression of molecular targets, which may mediate pro-healing/pro-angiogenic effects of SDF-1α-primed-BMDSC was evaluated by PCRArray and immunoblotting assay. The biological function of a potential mediator was tested in a mouse wound healing model. Serum SDF-1α levels were measured with ELISA. SDF-1α-primed-BMDSC significantly promote wound healing (p<.0001), neovascularization (p=.0028) and EPC recruitment(p=.0059). Gene/ protein expression studies demonstrate up-regulation of EphRB4 and Plasminogen as downstream targets potentially mediating the pro-healing and pro-angiogenic responses. Ex-vivo BMDSC activation and subsequent inoculation of cells into wounds does not increase systemic SDF-1α levels. We report a novel CBT that is highly effective in promoting healing and neovascularization in a murine model of Type 2 Diabetes. Furthermore, we identify new molecular targets that may be important for advancing the field of wound healing.
