Therapies targeting NETs in wound healing.

Mechanism Drug/Method Administration Wound healing outcome Ref.
PAD4 inhibitor PAD4-/- in normoglycemic wound No H3cit was detected; wounds were healed 80% on day 14 and 25% in WT controls [7]
PAD4-/- in diabetic wound Healed >35% faster, wound area reduced by 28% [7]
CI-amidine 10 mg/kg i.v. H3cit and wound aera decreased [12]
Tripeptide (Thr-Asp-F-amidine) Topically Wound closure and re-epithelialization accelerated [98]
DNase 1 Pulmozyme 10 mg/kg i.p. Superior scar scores and wound closure time [96]
Dornase alfa

10 μg i.v.

50 μg i.p.

Wound area reduced by >20% and re-epithelialization by 75% [7]
Deoxyribonuclease I from bovine pancreas Topically Inflammatory response reduced; re-epithelialization and healing accelerated [84]
ROS production and MAPK activation Na2S 50 μmol/kg i.p. NETs reduced; NE activity decreased; wound healing accelerated [105]
NET formation GnRH antagonist Wound size reduced [89]
LRG-1 ablation Wound size reduced [87]
PKC β inhibitor Metformin Orally NETs reduced [91]
Ruboxistaurin Orally Wound closure accelerated, nearly complete re-epithelialization by 14 days [88]
NLRP3 inflammasome-NET axis Recombinant mouse MFG-E8 500 ng/ml NETs reduced, NETs-primed NLRP3 inflammasome was inhibited [86]
NET structure Clarithromycin 2 μg/ml for 210 min LL-37 increased, fibroblasts activated, collagen increased [64]
