Abstract
Nanoparticles are an essential aspect of current scientific evolution, offering several potential applications in a number of fields. Particularly, in the therapeutic field such as in wound healing, the unique physical and chemical properties of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have attracted attention to it. In this study, we intend to investigate the relationship between silica nanoparticles and wound healing by analyzing altered gene expression before and after the treatment with (SiNPs), of 40 tissue repair related genes, giving special attention to (Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS-2), integrin subunit alpha X (ITGA-X), integrin subunit alpha V (ITGA-V), integrin subunit alpha 5 (ITGA-5), S100 calcium binding protein A4 (S100A4), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA)), to study the implications of these findings for better wound healing and to provide better insight into how SiNPs might be used to regenerate tissues and repair wounds. Our results showed that silica nanoparticles can significantly enhance wound healing by upregulating the expression of these key genes involved in the process.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Genetics is a journal intended to make significant contribution to the development of genetics. The journal publishes reviews and experimental papers in the areas of theoretical and applied genetics. It presents fundamental research on genetic processes at molecular, cell, organism, and population levels, including problems of the conservation and rational management of genetic resources and the functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and medical genetics.
