Single-cell profiling reveals transcriptomic signatures of vascular endothelial cells in non-healing diabetic foot ulcers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) poses a challenging medical problem that has long plagued individuals with diabetes. Clinically, wounds that fail to heal for more than 12 weeks after the formation of DFUs are referred to as non-healing/chronic wounds. Among various factors contributing to the non-healing of DFUs, the impairment of skin microvascular endothelial cell function caused by high glucose plays a crucial role. Our study aimed to reveal the transcriptomic signatures of non-healing DFUs endothelial cells, providing novel intervention targets for treatment strategies. Methods: Based on the GEO dataset (GSE165816), we selected DFU-Healer, DFU-Non-healer, and healthy non-diabetic controls as research subjects. Single-cell RNA transcriptomic sequencing technology was employed to analyze the heterogeneity of endothelial cells in different skin tissue samples and identify healing-related endothelial cell subpopulations. Immunofluorescence was applied to validate the sequencing results on clinical specimens. Results: The number of endothelial cells and vascular density showed no significant differences among the three groups of skin specimens. However, endothelial cells from non-healing DFUs exhibited apparent inhibition of angiogenesis, inflammation, and immune-related signaling pathways. The expression of CCND1, ENO1, HIF1α, and SERPINE1 was significantly downregulated at the transcriptomic and histological levels. Further analysis demonstrated that healing-related endothelial cell subpopulations in non-healing DFUs has limited connection with other cell types and weaker differentiation ability. Conclusion: At the single-cell level, we uncovered the molecular and functional specificity of endothelial cells in non-healing DFUs and highlighted the importance of endothelial cell immune-mediated capability in angiogenesis and wound healing. This provides new insights for the treatment of DFUs.
