Purpose: Delayed wound healing is an intractable complex of diabetes and substance P (SP) is proved to benefit wound healing, whose functioning mechanism remains elusive. This study aims at revealing whether the influence of SP on diabetic wound healing is dependent on inflammatory responses, particularly NF-κB.
Methods: Skin fibroblasts of genetically diabetic mice were co-cultured with bone marrow-derived macrophages, and treated with SP, SP + L703,606 (a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist), or SP + MG132 (an inhibitor of NF-κB).
