Abstract

Aim: This study aims to explore the mechanism of circ- AMOT-like protein 1 (Amotl1) in extracellular vesicles (Evs) derived from adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) regulating SPARC translation in wound healing process.

Methods: The morphology, wound healing rate of the wounds and Ki67 positive rate in mouse wound healing models were assessed by H&E staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The binding of IGF2BP2 and SPARC was verified by RNA pull-down. Adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) were isolated and verified. The Evs from ADSCs (ADSC-Evs) were analyzed.

Results: Overexpression of SPARC can promote the wound healing process in mouse models. IGF2BP2 can elevate SPARC expression to promote the proliferation and migration of HSFs. circ-Amotl1 in ADSC-Evs can increase SPARC expression by binding IGF2BP2 to promote the proliferation and migration of HSFs.

Conclusion: ADSC-Evs derived circ-Amotl1 can bind IGF2BP2 to increase SPARC expression and further promote wound healing process.
