Abstract:Background: Skin wounds in diabetic patients are hardly to recover. Accumulating evidence has shown that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are involved in inflammatory-related response. INK128 is a novel mTOR kinase inhibitor in clinical development. However, the exact roles of MDSCs and INK128 in healing wound of diabetic patients are unclear. Methods: Mice models of normal, diabetic, and diabetic+INK128 were constructed. Bone marrow (BM)-derived macroph… Show more
