Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the effects of Matricaria chamomilla essential oil on the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and the wound healing in mice. The effects of different concentrations of M. chamomilla essential oil on the proliferation of fibroblasts were detected by CCK8 method, while the effects on the migration of fibroblasts were detected by scratch method. Excision wound model was established to evaluate the effects of M. chamomilla essential oil on the wound healing in mice. The results showed that: M. chamomilla essential oil significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, it significantly improved the wound healing rate of mice skin. The number of fibroblasts and the thickness of dermis of the wound skin in essential oil treatment group increased significantly compared with that in the control group. These results indicated that M. chamomilla essential oil could promote skin wound healing, and its mechanism might be related to promoting fibroblast proliferation and migration.

Key words: Matricaria chamomilla essential oil, wound healing, fibroblasts, excision wound model
