A multifunctional alginate/PDRN hydrogel system by ionic crosslinking and the Schiff base reaction between oxidized alginate (OA) and PDRN was developed in the present study. Biocompatibility assessment of the PDRN-loaded OA hydrogels showed a significant enhancement in cell viability in human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells. In addition, hydrogels showed migratory, anti-inflammatory, intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging, and anti-apoptotic activities. In vivo studies using a streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wister rat model indicated that OA-4PDRN had the highest percentage of wound closure (96.1 ± 2.6 %) at day 14 compared to the control (79.0 ± 2.3 %) group. This was accompanied by up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ), interleukin-10 ( IL-10 ), and transforming growth factor-beta ( TGF-β ) accompanied by down-regulation of pro-inflammatory markers ( IL-6, IL-1β ). Following histopathological observations, PDRN-loaded OA hydrogel ensured tissue safety and induced wound healing with granular tissue formation, collagen deposition, re-epithelialization, and regeneration of blood vessels and hair follicles. The downregulation of inflammatory cytokines (CD68) and expression of angiogenesis-related cytokines (CD31) in wound sites revealed the suppression of inflammation and increased angiogenesis , ensuring skin tissue regeneration in diabetic wound healing. In conclusion, the findings suggest that PDRN-loaded OA hydrogel has enormous therapeutic potential as a diabetic wound dressing.
