LOXL2 from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells accelerates wound epithelialization by promoting differentiation and migration of keratinocytes
Figure 8. LOXL2 (Lysyl oxidase-like 2) promoted wound healing in the mouse model. (A) Representative photographs show the status of full-thickness excisional wounds in mice on days 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12. The wounds were treated with PBS (phosphate-buffered saline), 5X hAMSCs-CM (hAMSCs-CM concentrated five times), or LOXL2 (4ug). The histogram plot (right) shows the wound closure rate in the PBS, 5X hAMSCs-CM, and LOXL2 mice on days 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12. (B). Representative images (low and high resolution) show H&E (Hematoxylin and eosin staining) and Masson staining of wounded skin sections in mice belonging to PBS, 5X hAMSCs-CM and LOXL2 groups on day 14. Note: The values are shown as means ±SEM. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05.
