| 英文摘要 | Background Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes with impaired healing. This study focused on the herbal medicine Evodia rutaecarpa as a case to investigate the mechanisms of diabetic wound healing via the "gut microbiota-inflammation-skin axis". We specifically aimed to elucidate the role of its core bioactive flavonoid, quercetin (Que), whose therapeutic potential in this context remains underexplored.Methods In vitro, the direct interaction between Que and HIF1 alpha was assessed by cellular thermal shift assay, and its functional effect on the HIF1 alpha/VEGF pathway was evaluated in a lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7/HUVEC co-culture system. In vivo, a streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model with full-thickness dorsal wounds was treated with Que. Wound healing rates, metabolic parameters, systemic inflammation, and gut microbiota composition were analyzed. The causal role of the gut microbiota was further tested using fecal microbiota transplantation from Que-treated donors to diabetic recipient rats, and the biological activity of resulting drug-containing serum was assessed in HUVEC and RAW264.7 cell cultures.Results Que was identified as a principal active component of E. rutaecarpa with predicted binding affinity for key targets involved in inflammatory and hypoxic responses. In vitro, Que directly bound to and stabilized HIF1 alpha protein and upregulated the expression of both HIF1 alpha and VEGF in HUVECs under inflammatory co-culture conditions. In diabetic rats, Que treatment significantly accelerated wound closure, improved systemic glucose and lipid metabolism, reduced serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta, and modulated the gut microbiota structure. FMT from Que-treated rats replicated the pro-healing effects, enhancing angiogenesis and collagen deposition in wounds, and reducing tissue inflammation. Consistently, serum derived from the FMT-Que group promoted HUVEC migration and tube formation, and attenuated the pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in RAW264.7 cells.Conclusion This study demonstrated that Que promoted diabetic wound healing by modulating the "gut microbiota-inflammation-skin axis", thereby reducing systemic inflammation and enhancing local angiogenesis. |
