Relative mRNA expression of wound healing-related genes: TGF-β1 [transforming growth factor beta 1, (A)], VEGF [vascular endothelial growth factor, (B)], Ang-1 [angiopoietin-1, (C)], bFGF [basic fibroblast growth factor, (D)], EGF [epidermal growth factor, (E)], MMP-9 [matrix metalloproteinase-9, (F)], collagen I (G), collagen III (H), and Ki-67 [Kiel-67, (I)] at three intervals [5, 10 and 15 days post-treatment (dpt)] in response to the therapeutic effects of a hydrogel loaded with pomegranate peel extract-hyaluronic acid-silver nanoparticles (PPE-HA-AgNPs) at different concentrations for 15 days in cutaneous wounds in rats experimentally infected with C. albicans. Control: C. albicans infected and non-treated rats, commercial cream: ketoconazole cream (2%), PEE-HA-AgNPsI: 25% concentration of the formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsII: 50% concentration of the formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsIII: full concentration of the formulated nanocomposite. ^a–eMean values with distinct letters in the same column changed significantly (p < 0.05).
