Standardized protocols were developed for use in a detailed investigation into the biomechanical and biochemical properties of a dermal wound healing model in the rat. The use of a rapid freezing method at -80 degrees C minimized the detrimental effects of freezing on the biomechanical properties of the tissue and also allowed for convenient inter-laboratory collaboration to be performed. The methodology described allowed for the simultaneous and reproducible measurement of tensile strength, collagen cross-linking and proteolytic enzyme activity. Increases in the tensile properties of the tissue with time were consistent with an active process of remodelling process as indicated by changes in the cross-link and enzyme profiles. Initially the granulation tissue was comparatively rich in the keto-imine cross-link hydroxylysino-keto-norleucine, which was later replaced by the aldimine cross-link dehydro-hydroxy-lysinonorleucine. The mature cross-link histidino-hydroxy-lysinonorleucine was not observed within the granulation tissue at any stage and was also absent in aged control skin. A peak of matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity was observed at early timepoints (48 hr) and then decreased rapidly to normal levels and is consistent with an acute inflammatory response. In contrast matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity peaked later (3 days) and then decreased gradually, consistent with its role as one of the predominant enzymes involved in the remodelling process. The results described validate the animal model used and emphasize its potential for use in combined biomechanical and biochemical studies of acute wound healing.
