PDRN, polydeoxyribonucleotide, which is used as a tissue-regeneration material, is present in human cells under physiological conditions and stimulates regeneration and metabolic activity. PDRN can be used as a biomaterial for several types of regeneration, including wound healing, to promote cell growth and growth-factor production. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of PDRN derived from human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPD-MSCs) on cellular regeneration through A2A receptor signaling and to investigate its therapeutic effects in a mouse model of wound healing. Human PDRN (UNIPlax) was extracted from hPD-MSCs fragmented via a sonication system and evaluated for its effect on the migration of HaCaT cells in an in vitro system and in a wound-healing mouse model in vivo. Compared with the sham treatment, UNIPlax treatment significantly increased the migration of injured HaCaT cells (p < 0.05). Additionally, the tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was greater than that of the sham group (p < 0.05), and the effects of this treatment were mediated through the A2A receptor. Furthermore, UNIPlax treatment led to a decrease in wound size; in addition, the area of granulation and the rate of collagen formation at the wound site were significantly greater than those in the sham group in the wound-healing mouse model (p < 0.001). We also confirmed that UNIPlax promoted tissue regeneration and the expression of VEGF through the A2A receptor. Taken together, these findings indicate that UNIPlax has potential for regeneration of damaged tissues, including during wound healing.

Bibliographic analysis is still very rarely used in experimental basic study papers. The comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scientific literature on research progress and challenges in stem cell therapy for diabetic chronic wounds, which was conducted in the work of Shi et al can be a case study and a source of valuable information for writing reviews and experimental papers in this field. Basic experimental studies on a role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in wound healing that are published in 2023-2024, such as Zhang et al in 2023, Hu et al in 2023, Wang et al in 2023 are certainly also subjects for applying this powerful tool to analyze current research, challenges and perspectives in this field. This is due to the fact that these studies have addressed a great variety of aspects of the application of MSCs for the treatment of chronic wounds, such as using both the cells themselves and their various products: Sponges, hydrogels, exosomes, and genetic constructions. Such a wide variety of directions in the field of study and biomedical application of MSCs requires a deep understanding of the current state of research in this area, which can be provided by bibliometric analysis. Thus, the use of such elements of bibliographic analysis as publication count by year and analysis of top-10 keywords calculated independently or cited from bibliometric analysis studies can be safely recommended for every basic study manuscripts, primarily for the "Introduction" section, and review.
