Objective: Oxytocin (OXY) has significant effects on mammalian behavior. Next to its role in lactation and social interactions, it is described to support better wound healing as well. However, direct OXY effects on wound healing and the regeneration of the microvascular network are still not clarified. We therefore examined the effects of OXY and an OXY receptor antagonist [atosiban (ATO)] on skin wound healing, focusing on epithelialization and neovascularization. Methods: Skin wound healing has been assessed using intravital fluorescence microscopy in a model of full dermal thickness wounds in the dorsal skin fold chamber of hairless mice. Animals received repetitive low or high doses of OXY or ATO. Morphological and cellular characterization of skin tissue repair was performed by histology and in vitro cell assays. Results: The assessment of skin tissue repair using this therapy regimen showed that OXY and ATO had no major influence on epithelialization, neovascularization, wound cellularity, or inflammation. Moreover, OXY and ATO did neither stimulate nor deteriorate keratinocyte or fibroblast migration and proliferation. Conclusion: In summary, this study is the first to demonstrate that OXY application does not impair skin wound healing or cell behavior. However, until now, the used transmitter system seems not to be clarified in detail, and it might be proposed that it is associated with the stress response of the organism to various stimuli.
