Key findings

Burn wound healing is a multifaceted process often complicated by excessive inflammation and impaired keratinocyte function, both of which are key factors contributing to delayed healing.

In this study we screened the key miRNA regulating the epithelialization process under oxidative stress conditions through high-throughput sequencing.

We identified that miR-192-5p was significantly upregulated in both oxidative stress models of keratinocytes and burn wound tissues, with detrimental effects on keratinocyte proliferation, migration, and apoptosis.

Inhibition of miR-192-5p enhanced epidermal cell function by upregulating olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4), a key gene associated with cell proliferation, adhesion and migration.
