Development of microRNA-21 mimic nanocarriers for the treatment of cutaneous wounds.
Model: Excisional wound splinting model. Two full-thickness excisional wounds created on the dorsal surface with 6 and 8 mm disposable biopsy punches, a 0.5 mm thick donut-shaped silicone splinting ring secured around the wound, dressed with Tegaderm and Coban
miR21/DA3 accelerated wound closure in a dose-dependent manner, with 100 per cent of the wound still open for saline versus 57 per cent for 5 microM miR21/DA3 at day 8 and complete closure by day 16 in the 5 microM group, while inhibitor-miR21/DA3 significantly delayed healing. Histology showed red…
