BACKGROUND Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process that is regulated by a variety of factors and pathways. This study sought to identify the mechanisms of the four-herb Chinese medicine ANBP in enhancing wound repair. MATERIAL AND METHODS By comparing the group treated with ANBP for 6 h (Z6h) with the corresponding control group (C6h), we used the new high-throughput differential acetylation proteomics method to explore the mechanism of ANBP treatment and analyse and identify new targets of ANBP for promoting wound healing. RESULTS ANBP promoted skin wound healing in mice; the wound healing process was accelerated and the wound healing time was shortened (P<0.05). The upregulated proteins were distributed mostly in the mitochondria to nuclear respiratory chain complexes and cytoplasmic vesicles. The dominant pathways for upregulated proteins were fatty acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pdha1 was upregulated with the most acetylation sites, while the downregulated Ncl, and Pfkm were most acetylated. CONCLUSIONS The findings from our study showed that ANBP improved cell aerobic respiration through enhanced glycolysis, pyruvic acid oxidative decarboxylation, and the Krebs cycle to produce more ATP for energy consumption, thus accelerating wound repair of skin.
