Dermal accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has increasingly been implicated as the underlying cause of delayed diabetic wound healing. Devising an in vitro model to adequately mimic glycated tissues will facilitate investigation into the mechanism of glycation in conjunction with exploration of new approaches or improvement of current therapies for treating diabetic chronic wounds. Collagen matrices were artificially glycated and the presence of AGEs was demonstrated by immunostaining. Both the mechanical properties of the collagen matrices and their interactions with fibroblasts (morphology, attachment, proliferation, and migration) were altered after glycation, more there was evidence of impairment on extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling as well as inhibition of cell-induced material contraction. The actin cytoskeletons of the fibroblasts residing in the glycated collagen matrices were reorganized. In vivo mice full-thickness dermal wound models implanted with glycated collagen matrices showed delayed wound healing response. Thus, the glycated collagen matrix is an adequate in vitro model to mimic glycated tissues and could serve as a facile experimental tool to investigate the mechanism of glycation in conjunction with exploration of new approaches or improvement of current therapies for treating diabetic wounds.
