    Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (Ad-MSCs) have excellent potential for skin wound repair. Moreover, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has strong wound healing properties. The purpose of the present study was to compare the healing effects of PDGF-overexpressing canine allogeneic Ad-MSCs (PDGF-MSCs) and their cell sheets (PDGF-CSs) as compared to unexpressed Ad-MSCs (U-MSCs) and their cell sheets (UCSs) in a cutaneous wound healing model induced upon dogs. In in vitro study, the expression of immunomodulatory and growth factors was assessed by qRT-PCR. In in vivo study, cells and sheets were transplanted into a square-shaped full-thickness (1.5×1.5 cm) skin defect model created in 12 dogs. After 5 and 10 days, wounds were harvested and evaluated macroscopically and histopathologically. The qRT-PCR results showed that the PDGF-B gene was significantly upregulated (p<0.05) in PDGF-CS and PDGF-MSCs groups. Upon gross analysis of the wound, all stromal cells and their sheet groups showed accelerated (p<0.05) cutaneous wound healing compared to the negative control groups. As compared to U-MSCs and UCSs, the PDGF-MSCs showed significant epithelization on days 5 and 10 of healing, whereas PDGF-CSs showed improved epithelization only on day 10. In the granulation tissue analysis, PDGF-CSs and UCSs promoted more formation (p<0.05) of upper granulation tissue, collagen, and activated fibroblasts than PDGF- MSCs, and U-MSCs. Especially, the PDGF-CSs presented the highest formation and maturation of granulation tissue among all groups. All considered, PDGF overexpressed stromal cells or cells sheets can improve cutaneous wound healing in a canine model.
