Aim: neuropathy and vascular damage in this disease. Heparanase is an endoglycosidase that degrades heparan sulfate in the extracellular matrix and is believed to promote angiogenesis. The present study has been performed to investigate the effect of heparinase III (an enzyme which exclusively cleaves heparan sulfate) on wound healing in diabetic rats.
Methods: The rats became diabetic by a single streptozotocin injection. Two weeks later, a wound was created by excision of the skin in the left paravertebral area. Heparinase III (0.2 unit) was injected intradermally around the wound every 5 days, starting on day one, for a total of three doses. The wound area was measured every 3 days. After completion of wound healing, full thickness skin samples were taken from the wound sites and evaluated for volume density of the collagen bundles, numerical density of the fibroblasts, and length density of the vessels.
Results: Heparinase III accelerated wound closure compared to control diabetic animals. Microscopical examination revealed that it increased angiogenesis with no significant effect on collagen density and the number of fibroblasts.
Conclusion: Heparinase III induces angiogenesis and improves wound healing in diabetic animal model.

Cerebral edema is associated with poor prognosis because brain swelling within the rigid skull raises intracranial pressure, exacerbating secondary injuries following traumatic brain injury. Brain swelling can be characterized by triphasic biomechanics, which models brain tissue as a mixture of a deformable porous solid matrix with a negative fixed-charged density (FCD), water, and monovalent counterions. When brain cells die, the intracellular FCD is exposed, attracting cations into the cells.

Heparin lyase III has garnered widespread attention due to its high specificity and minimal loss of anticoagulant activity during the preparation of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), a crucial anticoagulant drug in clinical practice. However, low expression levels and complex preparation processes limit its practical application. To address these challenges, high-performance Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron heparin lyase III (Bhep III) variants were engineered and immobilized for LMWH preparation.

Heparan sulfate (HS) in the vascular endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) is a critical regulator of blood vessel homeostasis. Trauma results in HS shedding from the eGC, but the impact of trauma on HS structural modifications that could influence mechanisms of vascular injury and repair has not been evaluated. Moreover, the effect of eGC HS shedding on endothelial cell (EC) homeostasis has not been fully elucidated.
