Abstract The effects of the novel synthetic peptide, A7-1, on wound healing and skin grafts were evaluated in a C57BL/6 mouse model. Two 15-mm wide circular skin excisions were made on the backs of mice and to each excision, 100 µM A7-1 or normal saline was applied daily. The treatments were applied and sutured for skin graft analysis. Digital photos were acquired on days 4, 7, 11, and 14 and fluorescein angiography was conducted. Wound sizes were verified using stereoscopic microscopy. Histological analysis was performed via hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson’s trichrome staining. Western blotting was performed using vascular endothelial growth factor. Using a stereoscopic microscope, significantly faster wound healing (17.3%) and skin graft healing (16.5%) were observed in the A7-1 treatment group in comparison to that of the control. The angiogenesis was significantly faster in fluorescein angiography examination in wound healing (11%) and skin grafts (15%). However, the average completion of epithelization (overall time for wound healing), did not show any significant differences. In comparison to the control, the new protein, A7-1, led to significantly faster wound healing in the initial angiogenesis. |
