Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and kit for the classification and prognosis of wounds of mammalian, in particular in human.
- the method defines a molecular signature that enables one to characterize a pathological wound healing such as chronic or non-healing wound.
- the natural wound healing is divided into three sequential phases; each phase is characterized by specific cellular activities: the inflammatory phase, the proliferative phase and the remodeling phase.
- the first phase begins minutes after injury.
- the blood vessels rupture induces the clot formation, composed mainly of fibrin and fibronectin.
- the clot fills partially the lesion and allows the migration of the inflammatory cells within the lesion.
- the inflammatory cells are recruited to debride the wound. Platelets secrete factors, such as growth factors or cytokines, which induce the recruitment of cells implicated in the wound healing (inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells).
- the second phase is called the proliferative phase and corresponds to the development of the granulation tissue.
- Fibroblasts migrate into the wound area, proliferate and form a new provisional extracellular matrix by secreting extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Then endothelial cells migrate to promote the neovascularization or angiogenesis of the lesion.
- ECM extracellular matrix
- endothelial cells migrate to promote the neovascularization or angiogenesis of the lesion.
- fibroblasts activate and differentiate into myofibroblasts, presenting contractile properties thanks to their expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (similar to that in smooth muscle cells).
- Myofibroblasts have a key role in wound healing as they provide the contraction of the wound.
- keratinocytes migrate from the wound edge, proliferate and differentiate to reconstitute the epidermis.
- the last phase of the wound healing process appears after the wound closure. It corresponds to the remodeling of the granulation tissue.
- the granulation tissue is reorganized, type III collagen is replaced by type I collagen, as normal dermis is principally composed of type I collagen.
- myofibroblasts in excess are eliminated by apoptosis.
- the last phase of the wound healing is long. One year after injury, the scar is remodeled; it gets less red and thinner.
- Chronic wounds are sometimes non-healing wounds.
- Common types of chronic wounds include, but are not limited to, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, decubitus ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, those of mixed etiology (venous and arterial) or those with no known etiology.
- Non-healing wounds or chronic wounds are a challenge for the patient, the health care professional, and the health care system. They significantly impair the quality of life for millions of people and impart burden on society in terms of lost productivity and health care money.
- Wound healing is a dynamic pathway that leads to the restoration of tissue integrity and functions.
- a chronic wound or non-healing wound develops when the normal reparative process is disturbed.
- the physician can optimize the wound healing by choosing the adequate treatment.
- chronic or non-healing wounds the natural healing process is altered, and thus healing is prolonged, incomplete and sometimes wounds never close.
- a chronic wound occurs when some factor causes the disruption of the normal inflammatory and proliferative phases.
- early diagnosis of the potential onset of a wound may help to prevent the development of a wound.
- knowledge of the diagnosis or prognosis of a wound may enable patients to receive maximum benefit from therapy.
- the treatment of the wound is especially adapted to the wound in its early stage if it presents a risk of not healing correctly.
- a critical objective is to identify a diagnostic or prognostic method for chronic or non-healing wounds, so as to provide earlier and improved choices of treatment.
- Woundcheck status® commercialized by Systagenix enables one to measure proteases activity but is not specific enough to distinguish between the chronic wounds that could heal quicker and better than other chronic wounds that could not heal.

- a therapy consisting in increasing the expression of PI16 in chronic or non-healing wound.
- Said therapy may consist in the use of an activator of PI16 for treating chronic or non-healing wound.
- Fibroblasts are implicated in the process of wound healing, this involves several steps of differentiation from a quiescent fibroblast to a mobilized fibroblast that will transform into a myofibroblast and finally enter apoptosis. In chronic or non-healing wounds, this process is misregulated and fibroblasts fail to undertake the myofibroblast differentiation and are found in the wound as unfunctional fibroblasts, called pseudo senescent fibroblasts (Telgenhoff D, Shroot B (2005) Cellular senescence mechanisms in chronic wound healing. Cell Death Differ 12: 695-698).
- the aim of the present invention is to map, at the whole genome scale, the different genes that will be activated or deactivated during this process, and thus providing a molecular signature of chronic or non-healing wounds.
- senescence Human fibroblasts have the ability to enter into a physiological process named senescence, which permits a limited replicative cell cycle and thus avoids loss of genetic information. It usually occurs when a cell has already conducted several rounds of replication (called replicative senescence and dependent from telomere length), but can also occur in response to environmental stress (Muller M (2009) Cellular senescence: molecular mechanisms, in vivo significance, and redox considerations. Antioxid Redox Signal 11: 59-98). Senescence cells are arrested in cell cycle but maintain metabolic activity (Telgenhoff D, Shroot B (2005) Cellular senescence mechanisms in chronic wound healing. Cell Death Differ 12: 695-698).
- Fibroblasts of chronic wounds lose some of their functionalities, and more particularly, they lose part or all of their replicative function (Telgenhoff D, Shroot B (2005) Cellular senescence mechanisms in chronic wound healing. Cell Death Differ 12: 695-698).
- human fibroblasts are also associated with an up- regulation of APA-1, a protein which induces matrix remodeling, demonstrating that pseudo-senescence fibroblast phenotype was not induced by telomere attrition (Benanti JA, Williams DK, Robinson KL, Ozer HL, Galloway DA (2002) Induction of extracellular matrix-remodeling genes by the senescence-associated protein APA-1. Mol Cell Biol 22: 7385-7397).
- TAGLN Some biological markers, such as TAGLN, are described in the prior art (Thweatt R, Lumpkin CK, Jr., Goldstein S (1992) A novel gene encoding a smooth muscle protein is overexpressed in senescent human fibroblasts. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 187: 1-7). In this publication, gene expression is increased in senescent cells whereas in the chronic or non-healing wound model used by the inventors, the gene expression of TAGLN is decreased when compared with normal fibroblast gene expression.
- GOS2 is described as being overexpressed in prepuce fibroblast senescent cells.
- the fibroblasts are in replicative senescence, obtained after more than twenty doubling population whereas in the present invention, as the inventors work on a chronic or non-healing wound model, the fibroblasts are pseudo-senescent and not in replicative senescence
- Dermal fibroblast is a good experimental material since human cells can be obtained from different donors. By the way fibroblasts represent the key cells in wound healing, as they secrete the ECM proteins and differentiate in myofibroblasts that lead to the wound contraction. Some biological markers are already described on fibroblasts from different tissues: for example, CCL11 in lung (Puxeddu I, Bader R, Piliponsky AM, Reich R, Levi- Schaffer F, Berkman N (2006), The CC chemokine eotaxin/CCLll has a selective profibrogenic effect on human lung fibroblasts, J Allergy Clin Immunol 117: 103-110) or TFIP2 in synovial fibroblasts (Scaife S, Brown R, Kellie S, Filer A, Martin S, Thomas AM, Bradfield PF, Amft N, Salmon M, Buckley CD (2004) Detection of differentially expressed genes in synovial fibroblasts by restriction fragment differential display. Rheumatology ⁇ Oxfor ) 43:

- Table 1 Gene signature list for the non-healing or chronic wounds
- fibroblasts migrate into the wound where they differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts that will finally enter into apoptosis during the remodeling phase. This differentiation process can be studied ex-vivo in environmentally controlled tissue culture conditions, and therefore the timely controlled succession of different gene expression patterns can be addressed.
- NHDF isolated from human explants, were purchased from Promocell. NHDF were cultivated in DMEM-F12 (Invitrogen), supplemented with 10% FCS (Invitrogen, 5Mg/ml_ of insulin and Ing/mL of b-FGF (PromoKine)).
- the efficiency of fibroblast differentiation was estimated by analyzing the expression of the myofibroblast marker alpha smooth muscle actin (aSMA).
- This aSMA expression was assessed by RT-qPCR (mRNA levels) and by Western Blot (protein).
- Total proteins were extracted by scratching the cells with lysis buffer (TRIS, NaCI, NP40, EDTA, IMDTT) and incubated 30 min in ice. To remove cell debris, the samples were centrifuged at 13,000 x g for 10 min at 4°C and store at -20°C until use. Protein concentration was determined according to BCA method (Sigma). Equal amounts of total protein (20Mg) were loaded to NuPAGE 10% BIS-Tris gel (Invitrogen), separated by migration at 150 V, and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman) 1 hour at 30 V. Then, membranes were stained for a-SMA (Abeam) and tubulin (Abeam).

- RT-qPCR Quantitative real-time RT-PCR Quantitative real-time PCR
- Forward and reverse primers were designed by Eurofins (MWG, aSMA forward: CTGTTTTCCCATCCATTGTG, aSMA reverse: CCATGTTCTATCGGGTACTT) and a ⁇ stock was stored at -20°C. Forward and reverse primer pairs were used for each RT-qPCR reaction.
- the cycling conditions were as follows : an initial 95°C for 10 minutes, followed by 45 cycles of 95°C for 15 sec, 58°C for 30 sec, 72°C for 20 sec.
- LightCycler 480 SW 1.5 was used to evaluate the TM curves, to determine the Cp and to approximate the relative concentration for each amplification reaction.
- NHDF Normal Human Dermal Fibroblast
- PI 16 The expression of PI 16 was knocked down by transiently transfecting human dermal fibroblasts with specific small interfering RNAs (Qiagen). Two different siRNAs were tested. For transfections, fibroblasts were trypsinized and seeded on collagen coated 6-well plates. TGF- ⁇ and/or exudates were added to the medium as described before. Then, NHDF were treated with ⁇ siRNA and 4 ⁇ _ of INTERFERin reagent (PolyPlus), according to the manufacturer's instruction for 6 days. To maintain a sufficient knocking down, a second transfection was performed at 48h. The knockdown of target mRNA was confirmed by RT-qPCR. As a control, mock siRNA (directed against exogenous and non-present GFP mRNA) was used to bypass a possible effect of siRNA transfection into the cells.
- RNA sequencing was performed by Fastens SA (Switzerland). RNA was sent as total RNA, after two rounds of polyA purification, the Reverse transcription and the cDNA libraries were done. The sequencing was performed on a HiSeq2000 (Illumina).
- One gene can contain different isoforms, and some isoforms can have one or more exons in common.
- the same reads may be counted several times and thus biases the analyses for genes with numerous isoforms.
- a supplementary filter on the logFC (Fold Change) to study complete lists (the absolute value of logFC has to be superior or equal to 2) was applied.
- Pathologic wound healing analysis chronic or non-healing wounds
- the aim of the invention was to know if genes are differentially expressed between two conditions, in order to determine if the wound is a chronic or non-healing wound or not.
- Some genes are of particular interest.
- the expression of PI 16 is largely decreased in non-healing or chronic wounds.
- PI16 is associated with an increase in fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation.
- a down regulation of PI16 correlates with a non-differentiation behavior of the fibroblast (with exudate treatment or siRNA approaches) .
- PI 16 is a favorite candidate for therapy.
- the present invention also directed to a therapy consisting in increasing their expression in chronic or non-healing wound condition.
