Abstract

Refractory ischemic ulcers that occur in patients with diabetes present a major clinical challenge. Embryonic artery cluster of differentiation 133+ cells (EACCs) may promote the healing of diabetic ulcers; however, the high glucose environment in the diabetic ulcers decreases the survival rate of transplanted EACCs and inhibit their biological function. Furthermore, microcirculation in diabetic ischemic ulcers is impaired, which inhibits the beneficial effect of EACCs. In the current study, the Sirt1 agonist SRT1720 was selected as a therapeutic drug and loaded into a dressing composed of PLGA, collagen and silk (PCSS) formed using electrospinning technology. EACCs were seeded onto the PCSS dressing and this was used to treat diabetic ulcers. The results indicated that SRT1720 promotes the proliferation of EACCs, enhances the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A, interluekin 8 and basic fibroblast growth factor, and inhibits the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α. Furthermore, SRT1720 promoted the paracrine function of EACCs and promoted the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. PCSS induced the steady release of SRT1720 over a 15‑day period and PCSS seeded with EACCs (PCSS‑EACCs) were transplanted into the diabetic ischemic ulcers of mice with diabetes. The results of these experiments indicated that angiogenesis and the healing of diabetic ischemic ulcers was significantly improved following the transplantation of PCSS‑EACCs. Therefore, PCSS‑EACCs may be a novel and effective treatment for diabetic ischemic ulcers.
