| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neuropeptide and peptide hormones may have various function. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide, 28-amino acid neuropeptide, discovered as a vasodilator in the small intestine. In this study, we found that VIP increased the cell proliferation in oral keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The expression of VPAC1, VIP receptor was involved in cell migration activity and the expression of vascular endothelial grows factor in oral mucosal cells. Therefore, VIP may induce wound healing in oral mucosa.
