| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated the application of ex vivo-produced oral mucosa equivalent (EVPOME) and evaluated its ability of oral mucosa regeneration. However, cultivated epithelial cells using the present methods has heterogeneity, consequently, there is a risk that EVPOME possess poor cell growth activity and capability of oral mucosa regeneration. The previous study was to investigate the capability of EVPOME fabricated with small-sized cell population in which oral mucosal progenitor/stem-cells enriched subpopulation present and the change after EVPOME grafting subcutaneously in mice histologically. In the present study, we elucidated the mechanism of oral mucosa regeneration, especially the role of angiogenesis. As a results, EVPOME with small-sized cell population has high activity and capability of oral mucosal regeneration and faster elongation of epithelium is led by angiogenesis.
