Single-cell profiling and functional screening reveal crucial roles for lncRNAs in the epidermal re-epithelialization of human acute wounds

Objectives: Re-epithelialization is an important physiological process for repairing skin barrier function during wound healing. It is primarily mediated by coordinated migration, proliferation, and differentiation of keratinocytes. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential components of the noncoding genome and participate in various biological processes; however, their expression profiles and function in re-epithelialization during wound healing have not been established.

Methods: We investigated the distribution of lncRNAs during wound re-epithelialization by comparing the genomic profiles of uninjured skin and acute wound (AW) from healthy donors. We performed functional screening of differentially expressed lncRNAs to identify the important lncRNAs for re-epithelialization.

Results: The expression of multiple lncRNAs is changed during human wound re-epithelialization process. We identified VIM-AS1, SMAD5-AS1, and LINC02581 as critical regulators involved in keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and differentiation, respectively.

Conclusion: LncRNAs play crucial regulatory roles in wound re-epithelialization. We established lncRNA expression profile in human acute wounds compared with intact skin, offering valuable insights into the physiological mechanisms underlying wound healing and potential therapeutic targets.
