Alveolar cleft is a type of cleft lip and palate that seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. In this study, a model of the alveolar cleft phenotype was established in rabbits to evaluate the effect of bone collagen particles combined with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) on the repair of alveolar cleft bone defects.
A model of alveolar clefts in rabbits was established by removing the incisors on the left side of the upper jaw bone collagen particles combined with HUC-MSCs that were then implanted in the defect area. Blood biochemical analysis was performed 3 months after surgery. Skull tissues were harvested for gross observation, and micro-focus computerised tomography (micro-CT) analysis. Tissues were harvested for histological and immunohistochemical staining. The experiments were repeated 6 months after surgery.
Bone collagen particles and HUC-MSCs showed good biocompatibility. Bone collagen particles combined with HUC-MSCs were markedly better at inducing bone repair and regeneration than bone collagen particles alone.
Combining HUC-MSCs with bone collagen particles provides a simple, rapid and suitable method to fill a bone defect site and treat of alveolar cleft bone defects.
牙槽裂是一种唇腭裂,严重影响患者的身心健康。本研究通过建立兔牙槽裂模型,评价骨胶原颗粒联合人脐带间充质干细胞(HUC-MSCs)对牙槽裂骨缺损修复的影响。
通过在上颌骨左侧切牙部位去除牙槽骨,建立兔牙槽裂模型,将骨胶原颗粒联合 HUC-MSCs 植入缺损区。术后 3 个月进行血液生化分析。术后 6 个月取颅骨组织进行大体观察和微焦点计算机断层扫描(micro-CT)分析,取组织行组织学和免疫组织化学染色。实验重复 6 个月。
骨胶原颗粒与 HUC-MSCs 具有良好的生物相容性。骨胶原颗粒联合 HUC-MSCs 明显优于单纯骨胶原颗粒,更能诱导骨修复和再生。
HUC-MSCs 联合骨胶原颗粒为填充骨缺损部位和治疗牙槽裂骨缺损提供了一种简单、快速、适宜的方法。
