| Research Abstract |
Cleft palate patients are often subject to maxillary growth impairment and narrow dental arch after surgical closure of the defect in infancy. This is considered to be a consequence of the scar which is formed during palatal wound healing. Smad3 is one of the members concerned to TGF-・signaling pathway、and its deficient mice showed the notably accelerated wound healing in injured palates. In this study、we investigated the effects of the inhibition of Smad3 gene expression in wound repair、and as a result、an accelerated wound closure with down regulation of inflammatory genes was observed.
