OBJECTIVE: Random skin flaps are often placed by plastic surgeons to treat limb deformities and dysfunction. Nesfatin-1 (NES) is a peptide that exerts angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects. We assessed the impact of NES on flap survival and the underlying mechanism.
METHODS: We modified the McFarlane random skin flap rat model. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (corn oil solution with DMSO), low-dose group (NES-L at 10 µg/kg/day), and high-dose group (NES-H at 20 µg/kg/day). On day 7 after surgery, average flap survival areas were calculated. Laser Doppler blood flow monitoring and lead oxide/gelatin angiography were used to evaluate blood perfusion and neovascularization, respectively. Flap histopathological status was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined. Immunohistochemical techniques were used to evaluate the expression of angiogenetic and inflammatory factors.
RESULTS: In the experimental groups, the mean skin flap survival areas and blood perfusion increased considerably. The SOD activities in the experimental groups increased and the MDA contents decreased. Immunohistochemically, VEGF expression was upregulated in the experimental groups and the expression levels of inflammatory factors decreased markedly.
CONCLUSION: NES inhibited ischemic skin flap necrosis, promoted angiogenesis, and reduced ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation. Inhibition of the inflammatory HMGB1-TLR4-NF-κB signal pathway, which reduced flap inflammation and oxidative stress, may explain the enhanced flap survival.
