Cell. Infect.

Open wounds provide an ideal niche for colonization by <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic>) which poses substantial global health issues owing to delayed wound healing and disordered healing mechanisms. Therefore, proficient innovative therapies that control <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> infection and promote wound healing are of imperative importance for the management of wounds and prevention of infection and possible complications. This study aims to design a novel nanocarrier platform based on a hydrogel loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and doped with pomegranate peel extract (PPE) and hyaluronic acid (HA), offering an unprecedented opportunity to achieve skin repair and manage <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> colonization with an efficient wound healing process. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=100) were assigned to 5 groups and infected with <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> and distributed as follows: control positive (untreated) and four cutaneous wound-healing model groups treated topically with commercial cream and PPE-HA-AgNPs at full, 50%, and 25% concentrations for 15 days, respectively. Our findings revealed that the severity of clinical signs, <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> burden, and the expression of biofilm-related genes <jats:italic>ALS1<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>HYR1<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>PLB1<\/jats:italic> were diminished following treatment with PPE-HA-AgNPsIII. Notably, the formulated nanocomposite was very effective in extending the release of PPE-HA-AgNPs in infected wounds with retention percentages of 65.4% for PPE-HA-AgNPsIII. Topical administration of PPE-HA-AgNPsIII successfully alleviated the extensive inflammatory response and healed wounded skin via downregulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), interleukin-6 and IL-1 beta, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) levels as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays. Interestingly, PPE-HA-AgNPsIII modulated angiogenic and wound healing markers as evidenced by the downregulation of MMP-9 and the upregulation of angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (up to 10 days post-treatment), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-\u03b21), <jats:italic>bFGF<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>EGF, Ki-<\/jats:italic>67, and collagen I and III with efficient wound closure capability. This was evidenced by the lessening of histopathological severity, which accelerated the healing of the infected skin wounds post-treatment with PPE-HA-AgNPs. Overall, our formulated PPE-HA-AgNPs provide an effective innovative therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cutaneous wounds infected with <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> with maximized wound healing efficacy, indicating their potential in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2024.1469493","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,29]],"date-time":"2024-11-29T07:12:51Z","timestamp":1732864371000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Silver nanoparticles loaded with pomegranate peel extract and hyaluronic acid mediate recovery of cutaneous wounds infected with Candida albicans"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Marwa I.
