N,N-Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a glycine derivative, and its sodium salt (DMG-Na) has been demonstrated to possess various biological activities, including immunomodulation, free radical scavenging, and antioxidation, collectively contributing to the stability of tissue and cellular functions. However, its direct effects and underlying mechanisms in wound healing remain unclear. In this study, a full-thickness excisional wound model was established on the dorsal skin of mice, and wounds were treated locally with DMG-Na. Wound healing progression was assessed by calculating wound closure rates. Histopathological analysis was conducted using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and keratinocyte proliferation, migration, and differentiation were evaluated using CCK-8 assays, scratch wound assays, and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Inflammation-related cytokine expression in keratinocytes was analyzed via ELISA and qRT-PCR. Results revealed that DMG-Na treatment significantly accelerated wound healing in mice and improved overall wound closure quality. The wound healing rates on days 3, 6, and 9 were 49.18%, 68.87%, and 90.55%, respectively, with statistically significant differences compared to the control group ( P<0.05). DMG-Na treatment downregulated the mRNA levels of keratinocyte differentiation markers while enhancing cell proliferation and migration ( P<0.05). Furthermore, DMG-Na decreased the secretion of LPS-induced keratinocyte inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and CXCL10 ( P<0.05). These findings indicate that DMG-Na regulates inflammatory responses and promotes keratinocyte proliferation and migration, thereby facilitating the healing of skin wounds.

Objective: To investigate the expression of CARD10 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, and the roles of CARD10 in HCC progression especially apoptosis inhibition. Methods: The expression of CARD10 was examined in pared non-tumor liver tissues and HCC tissues using qRT-PCR, and their correlation with HCC TNM stage was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation assay in SPSS 17.0. In HCC cells with CARD10 overexpression or knockdown, cytometry using Annexin-V/PI labeling was used to measure apoptosis, and Western blotting was used to determine the activation of NF-κB pathway. Results: CARD10 expression was significantly increased in HCC tissues as compared to that in pared non-tumor liver tissues (P<0.01), and the increased CARD10 in HCC was positively correlated with TNM staging (P<0.01). The apoptosis of HCC cell lines SMMC-7721 and BEL-7402 was inhibited by CARD10 overexpression while promoted by CARD10 knockdown, and the pro-survival NF-κB pathway was also enhanced by CARD 10 over-expression while suppressed by CARD10 knockdown. Conclusion: CARD10 expression is increased in HCC tissues and positively correlated with HCC progression. CARD10 inhibits HCC apoptosis by promoting the activation of NF-κB pathway.
