This study explored the role of the PGI2 pathway in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) using diabetic mouse models, a three-dimensional cellular model, and clinical studies. The research aimed to understand the alterations in the PGI2 pathway, which is crucial for vascular homeostasis and tissue repair. The study employed three techniques: in vivo skin microvascular reactivity assays, direct activation of PGI2 receptors, and analysis of gene and protein expression. The findings indicated changes in the PGI2 pathway in diabetic mice, particularly in gene and protein expression, but did not show dysfunction in the PGI2-dependent vasomotor effect. The study suggested that targeting the PGI2 pathway could be a potential therapeutic approach for DFUs.
