| Research Abstract |
The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of grafted human oral keratinocytes in a transplanted ex vivo-produced oral mucosa equivalent (EVPOME) in the regeneration and/or healing process of the oral mucosa at the recipient site of mice. The grafted EVPOME maintained a stratified epithelial layer and basement membrane for up to 5 days post-grafting. By day 7 post-grafting, a portion of the EVPOME epithelial layer peeled away from the AlloDerm^[○!R]R and a thin, CK17-immunonegative epithelial layer extended from the adjacent thick epithelia layer of the mouse and contacted the CK17 immunopositive EVPOME epithelium. These findings suggest that grafting of EVPOME with viable oral keratinocytes onto an intraoral mucosal wound plays an active role in promotion of re-epithelialization of the oral wound during the subsequent healing process.
