Abstract

Objective To investigate the skin wound healing speed of C57BL/6 mice at various stages of hair growth cycle. Methods Mouse skin wounding models were established and wound healing rate in the following manner was calculated: Wound closure rate (%) = [(Original wound area - Open area on the final day)/Original wound area] ×100%. Wound healing speed of mouse at hair anagen stages and at hair telogen stages was compared. H&E staining was adopted to compare differences in morphological and histological characteristics of wound healing. BrdU was used to detect cell proliferation around wounds. Results Wound healing rate of mouse at hair anagen stages was significant higher than that of mouse at telogen stages. H&E staining showed that mice presented relatively more epidermal cell layers around wounds and epidermal cell layers migrated faster at hair anagen stages. BrdU detection showed that mice at hair anagen stages had a larger number of BrdU+ epidermal cells around wounds than mouse at telogen stages. Conclusion Mice at hair anagen stages enjoy a faster skin wound healing rate than mice at telogen stages, which provides a basis for further research into the role of hair follicle in wound healing process as well as a guidance on how to choose animal models for study of skin wound healing.
