Abstract (original English)

The difficulty of wound healing in diabetes mellitus has long been regarded as a thorny problem in the medical field. One of the important reasons is the abnormal function of wound-related cells. A large number of recent studies have shown that microRNA (miR), a noncoding RNA that exists in eukaryotic cells, is closely linked to the functions of various cells in diabetic wound, and ultimately affects the healing of wound. This paper establishes for the first time the connection between miR and wound healing from the cellular perspective and summarizes the effects of various miRs on one or more kinds of wound cells, including their targets and related mechanisms. The abnormal expression of miRs in the wound has certain value for the early diagnosis of diabetic wounds. Moreover, it seems that correcting miRs that are abnormal expressed in the wound or artificially adding miRs that can promote wound healing has an essential therapeutic value.
