| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, an oral mucosal epithelial sheet was cultivated and found to have the same structures as the original oral mucosal epithelium both in terms of the status of desmosomal cell-to-cell adhesion and hemidesmosomal adhesion between base cells and the amnion. Regarding the strength and extensibility of the cultivated epithelial sheet, both properties remained at approximately two-thirds those of the normal ureter until irreversible changes occurred in the sheet.
We prepared a cultivated sheet in the shape of the ureter and transplanted it into the abdominal wall of a rabbit. One month later, we opened the abdominal cavity and confirmed that the transplanted cultivated oral mucosal membrane retained a tubular shape similar to that of the ureter and was engrafted successfully, as it was receiving blood supply from the tissue surrounding the transplantation site. The sheet maintained the histological status of the mucosa with no carcinogenesis or tissue atrophy.
