Wound healing is a natural process of the immune system response to protect our body against harmful pathogenic invasion.
After receiving the message from the neurons in the brain, the immune first line of defense including the macrophages stimulates the blood palettes to the site of infection to cover the injury and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines to kill off the stimuli and pathogens which try to enter the body through the wound.
Some anti-inflammatory cytokines under normal conditions also switch to pro-inflammatory cytokines depending on the severity of the injury.
In some cases, overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines can cause damage or death of the nearby cells, leading to the formation of irreversible scars, such as hepatitis infection.
Even worse, if the immune system can not kill off all pathogens in the acute phase of infection, it will compromise the new change, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation.
Bacterial pathogens often cause infection in specific areas of the body by overgrowth of the numbers of bacteria in the site, including the gut.
According to epidemiological studies, some bacteria are opportunistic pathogens, and people with a weakened immune system are particularly prone to their invasion.
Dr. Dennis W. Metzger, the lead scientist wrote, " While it has been commonly thought that viral-induced epithelial cell damage allows bacterial invasiveness, recent studies by several groups have now implicated dysfunctional innate immune defenses following influenza as the primary culprit for enhanced susceptibility to secondary bacterial infections".
The results strongly indicated the increased risk of bacterial infection in people with a weakened immune system.
Researchers on finding a natural compound for speeding up wound healing explored on wound healing effect of sinigrin on HaCaT cells.
In the phytosome with sinigrin with an average particle size of 153 ± 39 nm, the zeta potential of 10.09 ± 0.98 mV and complex efficiency of 69.5 ± 5%.
The formulated sinigrin-phytosome complex significantly exhibited a greater wound-healing effect compared to the use of sinigrin alone.
Compared to only 71% of wounds closer to sinigrin after 42 hours, the phytosome complex completely healed the wound.
At a lower concentration of 0.07 mg/mL, the sinigrin–phytosome complex displayed 79%, whilst sinigrin showed only 50% of wound closure.
At the higher concentration of 0.14 mg/mL the sinigrin–phytosome complex completely cured the wound (100%), compared to only 71% wound healing of sinigrin.
Furthermore, The sinigrin-phytosome complex displayed minimal toxicity towards HaCaT cells.
Injection of the complex also exerted a strong effect on A-375, a human melanoma cell line.
Dr. Mazumder A, after taking into account co and confounders wrote at the end of the experiment, " sinigrin-phytosome complex augmented the therapeutic potential of sinigrin towards the wound healing activity".
Taken together, sinigrin a bioactive ingredient in cruciferous vegetables may be considered a functional supplement for speedup wound healing, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.
However, intake of bioactive in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care, as liver toxicity may be induced if overdosed.
