Abstract

Wound healing is a slow and complex biological process, including inflammatory reaction, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix deposition, tissue remodeling, and so on. Wnt signaling pathway can be divided into classical pathway and non-classical pathway. Wnt classical pathway, also known as Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, plays an important role in cell differentiation, cell migration, and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Many inflammatory factors and growth factors are involved in the upstream regulation of this pathway. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in the occurrence, development, regeneration, repair and related treatment of skin wounds. This article review the relationship between Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and wound healing, meanwhile summarizes its effects on important processes of wound healing, such as inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, hair follicle regeneration, and skin fibrosis, as well as the role of inhibitors of Wnt signaling pathway in wound healing.

创面愈合是一个缓慢而复杂的生物学过程,包括炎症反应、细胞增殖分化和迁移、血管新生、细胞外基质沉积和组织重塑等。Wnt信号通路可分为经典通路和非经典通路,其中Wnt经典通路又称Wnt/β连环蛋白信号通路,其在细胞分化、迁移和组织稳态维持过程中发挥重要作用。许多炎症因子、生长因子等都参与该通路的上游调控。Wnt/β连环蛋白信号通路的激活在皮肤创面的发生、发展、再生、修复及相关治疗的过程中,起到了重要作用。该文综述了Wnt/β连环蛋白信号通路与创面愈合的关系,并总结了其对炎症反应、细胞增殖、血管新生、毛囊再生和皮肤纤维化等创面愈合重要过程的影响以及Wnt信号通路抑制因子在创面愈合中的作用。.
