| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Skin or oral wounding is great burden for patients and faster wound repair is always desired. Oral mucosa is always exposed to various stimuli and at the same time it has high turnover rate and recover faster than the skin wound. We focused mechanosensitive calcium permeable channel, because oral mucosa is always exposed to mechanical stimuli. We focused transient receptor potential channel vanilloid 4, which is activated by warm temperature, mechanical stretch, and hypo-osmolarity. We found out using TRPV4 deficient mice that wound healing is affected by TRPV4 activation. We propose here TRPV4 may one of the candidate for wound healing treatment.
