Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes, with significant morbidity and mortality. Excessive release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) delays wound healing in diabetic patients. This study identified the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway as a key regulator of NET release in diabetic wound tissue, and demonstrated that inhibition of GSDMD with disulfiram or genetic deletion of Gsdmd can accelerate diabetic wound healing by suppressing NET formation.
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is among the most frequent complications of diabetes and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) delay wound healing in diabetic patients. Therefore, interventions targeting NET release need to be developed to effectively prevent NET-based wound healing impairment. Gasdermin D (GSDMD), a pore-forming protein acts as a central executioner of inflammatory cell death and can activate inflammasomes in neutrophils to release NETs. A precise understanding of the mecha-nism underlying NET-mediated delay in diabetic wound healing may be valuable in identifying potential thera-peutic targets to improve clinical outcomes. In this study, we reported that neutrophils were more susceptible to NETosis in diabetic wound environments of patients with DFU. By in vitro experiments and using in vivo mouse models of diabetic wound healing (wide-type, Nlrp3-/-, Casp-1-/-, and Gsdmd-/- mice), we demonstrated that NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway on activation controls NET release by neutrophils in diabetic wound tissue. Furthermore, inhibition of GSDMD with disulfiram or genic deletion of Gsdmd abrogated NET formation, thereby accelerating diabetic wound healing. Disulfiram could inhibit NETs-mediated diabetic foot ulcer healing impairment by suppressing the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway. In summary, our findings uncover a novel therapeutic role of disulfiram in inhibiting NET formation, which is of considerable value in accelerating wound healing in patients with DFU.
