More and more evidence advises that circular RNAs (circRNAs) function critically in regulating different disease microenvironments. Our previous study found that autotransplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) promotes diabetes wound healing. Exosomes derived in ADSCs play an important regulatory role. This study aimed to characterize if mmu_circ_0000250 played a role in ADSC-exosome-mediated full-thickness skin wound repair in diabetic rats. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were selected to study the therapeutic mechanism of exosomes in high-glucose (HG)-induced cell damage and dysfunction. Analysis and luciferase reporter assay were utilized to explore the interaction among mmu_circ_0000250, miRNA (miR)-128-3p, and sirtuin (SIRT)1. The diabetic rats were used to confirm the therapeutic effect of mmu_circ_0000250 against exosome-mediated wound healing. Exosomes containing a high concentration of mmu_circ_0000250 had a greater therapeutic effect on restoration of the function of EPCs by promotion autophagy activation under HG conditions. Expression of mmu_circ_0000250 promoted SIRT1 expression by miR-128-3p adsorption, which was confirmed via luciferase reporter assay and bioinformatics analysis. In vivo, exosomes containing a high concentration of mmu_circ_0000250 had a more therapeutic effect on wound healing when compared with wild-type exosomes from ADSCs. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence detection showed that mmu_circ_0000250 increased angiopoiesis with exosome treatment in wound skin and suppressed apoptosis by autophagy activation. In conclusion, we verified that mmu_circ_0000250 enhanced the therapeutic effect of ADSC-exosomes to promote wound healing in diabetes by absorption of miR-128-3p and upregulation of SIRT1. Therefore, these findings advocate targeting the mmu_circ_0000250/miR-128-3p/SIRT1 axis as a candidate therapeutic option for diabetic ulcers.

Chitosan, a hydrophilic biopolymer industrially obtained by N-deacetylation of chitin, can be applied as an antimicrobial agent. It highlights the applications of chitosan as an antimicrobial agent against fungi, bacteria, and viruses and as an elicitor of plant defense mechanisms. A series of novel chitosan-sulfathiazole nanocomposite (CSFZ) films were prepared by using solvent casting method for wound healing application. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to ascertain the interaction between negatively charged sulfathiazole and positively charged chitosan. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of the films was investigated against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms. It was found that all CSFZ films showed good inhibitory activity against all the tested bacteria as compared to control. The above analysis suggested that the CSFZ films could be used as potential candidates for wound healing application.
