摘要
Cell sheets with pre-vascularization have recently been developed but remain relatively untested in oral wound healing. Therefore, we examined the potential utility of our newly developed pre-vascularized mucosal cell sheets in oral wound healing. Mucosal keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial progenitor cells were primarily cultured for in vitro cell expansion from mucosa and blood of Sprague-Dawley rats. Mucosal cell sheets were generated using cultured keratinocytes and plasma fibrin (K sheet) or keratinocytes and a mixture of fibrin, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells (PV sheet). Autologous sheets were transplanted on deep wounds in the buccal region of rats. The gross and histological characteristics of wound healing were compared among control wound, K sheet, and PV sheet groups. We successfully cultured and expanded keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial progenitor cells in vitro for generating mucosal cell sheets with or without pre-vascularization. In the in vivo oral wound model, compared with the control wound, the PV sheet group exhibited rapid wound closure more prominently than the K sheet group. The histological healing in the PV sheet group was similar to that in rat normal buccal mucosa without fibrosis. The pre-vascularized mucosal cell sheet exhibited in vivo efficacy in oral wound healing by promoting accelerated healing.
