El-Qashty R, Youssef J, Hany E. The role of erythropoietin-loaded hydrogel versus adipose derived stem cell secretome in the regeneration of tongue defects. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:1109. [PMID: 39294639 PMCID: PMC11411902 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04835-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tongue defects have several etiologies and significantly affect the quality of life. This study was conducted to compare the regenerative potential of erythropoietin (EPO)-loaded hydrogel and adipose derived stem cell (ADSC) secretome on tongue dorsum defects focusing on the role of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotype. METHODS Rats were subjected to induction of mechanical circular defects on the dorsal surface of the tongue, then divided into three groups; Group I (control): received 0.1 ml phosphate buffered saline, Group II (EPO): received 5000 U/kg EPO-hydrogel, and Group III (ADSC-Secretome): received 0.1 ml ADSC-Secretome. Treatments were injected circumferentially around wound margins after induction. Seven and fourteen days after treatment, specimens were obtained and processed for histological and immunohistochemical staining followed by the relevant histomorphometric and statistical analyses. RESULTS Seven days after treatment, groups II and III presented defects with some epithelial regeneration at the lateral margins, while the center of the defect showed granulation tissue with much inflammatory cells. The base of the defects showed some muscle fibers and new blood vessels, however group III showed more enhanced neovascularization. Fourteen days after therapeutic intervention, group II defects were completely covered with epithelium showing a thin keratin layer with regular rete pegs interdigitating with the underlying connective tissue papillae, but tongue papillae were not restored. Group III expressed much better healing with developing filiform papillae. The connective tissue showed more vascularity and well-arranged muscle bundles. Both treated groups showed a significant decrease in defect depth and significant increase in anti-inflammatory macrophages compared to the control group at both time intervals, however there was no significant difference between the two treated groups. CONCLUSION Both treatments showed promising and comparable results in the treatment of tongue defects reducing inflammation and restoring tongue histological architecture with significant upregulation of M2 macrophage.

Cryobiology 2024; 115:104895. [PMID: 38616031 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
The study is devoted to the effect of lowered resuscitation temperature (26 °C) on cryopreserved porcine adrenal glands functional activity in vitro and in vivo under xenotransplantation. The adrenals were collected from newborn pigs, cryopreserved with 5 % DMSO at a rate of 1 °C/min, resuscitated at 26 or 37 °C for 48 h (5 % CO2, DMEM), embedded into small intestinal submucosa, and transplanted to bilaterally adrenalectomized rats. It has been shown that the glands resuscitated at 26 °C have suppressed free-radical processes and can produce cortisol and aldosterone in vitro, and may lead to elevated blood levels of these hormones. Moreover, the adrenal grafts maintain blood glucose levels and promote the formation of glycogen stores. Thus, the resuscitation at 26 °C can improve the quality of grafts and favor the introduction and application of the cryopreserved organs and tissues for transplantation in clinical and experimental practice.

Stem-cell based soft tissue substitutes: Engineering of crosslinked polylysine-hyaluronic acid microspheres ladened with gingival mesenchymal stem cells for collagen tissue regeneration and angiogenesis. J Periodontol 2023; 94:1436-1449. [PMID: 37133980 DOI: 10.1002/jper.22-0747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to construct crosslinked polylysine-hyaluronic acid microspheres (pl-HAM) ladened with gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) and explore its biologic behavior in soft tissue regeneration. METHODS The effects of the crosslinked pl-HAM on the biocompatibility and the recruitment of L-929 cells and GMSCs were detected in vitro. Moreover, the regeneration of subcutaneous collagen tissue, angiogenesis and the endogenous stem cells recruitment were investigated in vivo. We also detected the cell developing capability of pl-HAMs. RESULTS The crosslinked pl-HAMs appeared to be completely spherical-shaped particles and had good biocompatibility. L-929 cells and GMSCs grew around the pl-HAMs and increased gradually. Cell migration experiments showed that pl-HAMs combined with GMSCs could promote the migration of vascular endothelial cells significantly. Meanwhile, the green fluorescent protein-GMSCs in the pl-HAM group still remain in the soft tissue regeneration area 2 weeks after surgery. The results of in vivo studies showed that denser collagen deposition and more angiogenesis-related indicator CD31 expression in the pl-HAMs+ GMSCs + GeL group compared with the pl-HAMs + GeL group. Immunofluorescence showed that CD44, CD90, CD73 co-staining positive cells surrounded the microspheres in both pl-HAMs + GeL group and pl-HAM + GMSCs + GeL group. CONCLUSIONS The crosslinked pl-HAM ladened with GMSCs system could provide a suitable microenvironment for collagen tissue regeneration, angiogenesis and endogenous stem cells recruitment, which may be an alternative to autogenous soft tissue grafts for minimally invasive treatments for periodontal soft tissue defects in the future.

Abstract
Orofacial soft tissue wounds caused by surgery for congenital defects, trauma, or disease frequently occur leading to complications affecting patients' quality of life. Scarring and fibrosis prevent proper skin, mucosa and muscle regeneration during wound repair. This may hamper maxillofacial growth and speech development. To promote the regeneration of injured orofacial soft tissue and attenuate scarring and fibrosis, intraoral and extraoral stem cells have been studied for their properties of facilitating maintenance and repair processes. In addition, the administration of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) may prevent fibrosis and promote the regeneration of orofacial soft tissues. Applying stem cells and EVs to treat orofacial defects forms a challenging but promising strategy to optimize treatment. This review provides an overview of the putative pitfalls, promises and the future of stem cells and EV therapy, focused on orofacial soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Significance: Orofacial structures are indispensable for speech and eating, and impairment disrupts whole-body health through malnutrition and poor quality of life. However, due to the unique and highly specialized cell populations, tissue architecture, and healing microenvironments, regeneration in this region is challenging and inadequately addressed to date. Recent Advances: With increasing understanding of the nuanced physiology and cellular responses of orofacial soft tissue, novel scaffolds, seeded cells, and bioactive molecules were developed in the past 5 years to specifically target orofacial soft tissue regeneration, particularly for tissues primarily found within the orofacial region such as oral mucosa, taste buds, salivary glands, and masseter muscles. Critical Issues: Due to the tightly packed and complex anatomy, orofacial soft tissue injury commonly implicates multiple tissue types, and thus functional unit reconstruction in the orofacial region is more important than single tissue regeneration. Future Directions: This article reviews the up-to-date knowledge in this highly translational topic, which provides insights into novel biologically inspired and engineered strategies for regenerating orofacial component tissues and functional units.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art approach to regenerating different tissues and organs is tissue engineering which includes the three parts of stem cells (SCs), scaffolds, and growth factors. Cellular behaviors such as propagation, differentiation, and assembling the extracellular matrix (ECM) are influenced by the cell's microenvironment. Imitating the cell's natural environment, such as scaffolds, is vital to create appropriate tissue. Craniofacial tissue engineering refers to regenerating tissues found in the brain and the face parts such as bone, muscle, and artery. More biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds are more commensurate with tissue remodeling and more appropriate for cell culture, signaling, and adhesion. Synthetic materials play significant roles and have become more prevalent in medical applications. They have also been used in different forms for producing a microenvironment as ECM for cells. Synthetic scaffolds may be comprised of polymers, bioceramics, or hybrids of natural/synthetic materials. Synthetic scaffolds have produced ECM-like materials that can properly mimic and regulate the tissue microenvironment's physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties, manage adherence of biomolecules and adjust the material's degradability. The present review article is focused on synthetic materials used in craniofacial tissue engineering in recent decades.

Abstract
Stem cells are a well-known autologous pluripotent cell source, having excellent potential to develop into specialized cells, such as brain, skin, and bone marrow cells. The oral cavity is reported to be a rich source of multiple types of oral stem cells, including the dental pulp, mucosal soft tissues, periodontal ligament, and apical papilla. Oral stem cells were useful for both the regeneration of soft tissue components in the dental pulp and mineralized structure regeneration, such as bone or dentin, and can be a viable substitute for traditionally used bone marrow stem cells. In recent years, several studies have reported that plant extracts or compounds promoted the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of different oral stem cells. This review is carried out by following the PRISMA guidelines and focusing mainly on the effects of bioactive compounds on oral stem cell-mediated dental, bone, and neural regeneration. It is observed that in recent years studies were mainly focused on the utilization of oral stem cell-mediated regeneration of bone or dental mesenchymal cells, however, the utility of bioactive compounds on oral stem cell-mediated regeneration requires additional assessment beyond in vitro and in vivo studies, and requires more randomized clinical trials and case studies.

Abstract
The gingival tissue can be collected in an easy way and represent an accessible source to isolate gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs). GMSCs are a subpopulation of dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells that show the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) features, such as differentiation abilities and immunomodulatory properties. Dental-derived stem cells are also expandable in vitro with genomic stability and the possibility to maintain the stemness properties over a prolonged period of passages. Moreover, several preclinical studies have documented that the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from GMSCs possess similar biological functions and therapeutic effects. The EVs may represent a promising tool in the cell-free regenerative therapy approach. The present review paper summarized the GMSCs, their multi-lineage differentiation capacities, immunomodulatory features, and the potential use in the treatment of several diseases in order to stimulate tissue regeneration. GMSCs should be considered a good stem cell source for potential applications in tissue engineering and regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is a therapeutic option within regenerative medicine that allows to mimic the original cell environment and functional organization of the cell types necessary for the recovery or regeneration of damaged tissue using cell sources, scaffolds, and bioreactors. Among the cell sources, the utilization of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) has gained great interest because these multipotent cells are capable of differentiating into diverse tissues, in addition to their self-renewal capacity to maintain their cell population, thus representing a therapeutic alternative for those diseases that can only be controlled with palliative treatments. This review aimed to summarize the state of the art of the main sources of MSCs as well as particular characteristics of each subtype and applications of MSCs in TE in seven different areas (neural, osseous, epithelial, cartilage, osteochondral, muscle, and cardiac) with a systemic revision of advances made in the last 10 years. It was observed that bone marrow-derived MSCs are the principal type of MSCs used in TE, and the most commonly employed techniques for MSCs characterization are immunodetection techniques. Moreover, the utilization of natural biomaterials is higher (41.96%) than that of synthetic biomaterials (18.75%) for the construction of the scaffolds in which cells are seeded. Further, this review shows alternatives of MSCs derived from other tissues and diverse strategies that can improve this area of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetic wound healing remains a global challenge in the clinic and in research. However, the current medical dressings are difficult to meet the demands. The primary goal of this study was to fabricate a functional hydrogel wound dressing that can provide an appropriate microenvironment and supplementation with growth factors to promote skin regeneration and functional restoration in diabetic wounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) were bound to the porcine small intestinal submucosa-based hydrogel material through peptides (SC-Ps-sEVs) to increase the content and achieve a sustained release. NIH3T3 cell was used to evaluate the biocompatibility and the promoting proliferation, migration and adhesion abilities of the SC-Ps-sEVs. EA.hy926 cell was used to evaluate the stimulating angiogenesis of SC-Ps-sEVs. The diabetic wound model was used to investigate the function/role of SC-Ps-sEVs hydrogel in promoting wound healing. RESULTS A functional hydrogel wound dressing with good mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility and superior stimulating angiogenesis capacity was designed and facilely fabricated, which could effectively enable full-thickness skin wounds healing in diabetic rat model. CONCLUSIONS This work led to the development of SIS, which shows an unprecedented combination of mechanical, biological and wound healing properties. This functional hydrogel wound dressing may find broad utility in the field of regenerative medicine and may be similarly useful in the treatment of wounds in epithelial tissues, such as the intestine, lung and liver.

Abstract
Various abnormalities of the tongue, including cancers, commonly require surgical removal to sequester growth and metastasis. However, even minor resections can affect functional outcomes such as speech and swallowing, thereby reducing quality of life. Surgical resections alone create volumetric muscle loss whereby muscle tissue cannot self-regenerate within the tongue. In these cases, the tongue is reconstructed typically in the form of autologous skin flaps. However, flap reconstruction has many limitations and unfortunately is the primary option for oral and reconstructive surgeons to treat tongue defects. The alternative, but yet undeveloped strategy for tongue reconstruction is regenerative medicine, which widely focuses on building new organs with stem cells. Regenerative medicine has successfully treated many tissues, but research has inadequately addressed the tongue as a vital organ in need of tissue engineering. In this review, we address the current standard for tongue reconstruction, the cellular mechanisms of muscle cell development, and the stem cell studies that have attempted muscle engineering within the tongue. Until now, no review has focused on engineering the tongue with regenerative medicine, which could guide innovative strategies for tongue reconstruction.

Abstract
Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is the most studied extracellular matrix (ECM) for repair and regeneration of different organs and tissues. Promising results of SIS-ECM as a vascular graft, led scientists to examine its applicability for repairing other tissues. Overall results indicated that SIS grafts induce tissue regeneration and remodeling to almost native condition. Investigating immunomodulatory effects of SIS is another interesting field of research. SIS can be utilized in different forms for multiple clinical and experimental studies. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the decellularization process of SIS and its common clinical application.

Abstract
The use of extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials for soft tissue repair has proved extremely successful in animal models and in some clinical settings. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the commercially obtained CorMatrix bioscaffold on the viability, proliferation and migration of rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12. PC12 cells were plated directly onto a CorMatrix flake or the well surface of a 12-well plate and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium and a medium supplemented with the nerve growth factor (NGF). The surface of the culture plates was modified with collagen type I (Col I). The number of PC12 cells was counted at four time points and then analysed for apoptosis using a staining kit containing annexin V conjugate with fluorescein and propidium iodide (PI). The effect of CorMatrix bioscaffold on the proliferation and migration of PC12 cells was tested by staining the cells with Hoechst 33258 solution for analysis using fluorescence microscopy. The research showed that the percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells was low (less than 7%). CorMatrix stimulates the proliferation and possibly migration of PC12 cells that populate all levels of the three-dimensional architecture of the biomaterial. Further research on the mechanical and biochemical capabilities of CorMatrix offers prospects for the use of this material in neuro-regenerative applications.

Abstract
A unique subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been isolated and characterized from human gingival tissues (GMSCs). Similar to MSCs derived from other sources of tissues, e.g. bone marrow, adipose or umbilical cord, GMSCs also possess multipotent differentiation capacities and potent immunomodulatory effects on both innate and adaptive immune cells through the secretion of various types of bioactive factors with immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory functions. Uniquely, GMSCs are highly proliferative and have the propensity to differentiate into neural cell lineages due to the neural crest-origin. These properties have endowed GMSCs with potent regenerative and therapeutic potentials in various preclinical models of human disorders, particularly, some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, oral and maxillofacial disorders, and peripheral nerve injuries. All types of cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, that play critical roles in cell-cell communication through their cargos containing a variety of bioactive molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Like EVs released by other sources of MSCs, GMSC-derived EVs have been shown to possess similar biological functions and therapeutic effects on several preclinical diseases models as GMSCs, thus representing a promising cell-free platform for regenerative therapy. Taken together, due to the easily accessibility and less morbidity of harvesting gingival tissues as well as the potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory functions, GMSCs represent a unique source of MSCs of a neural crest-origin for potential application in tissue engineering and regenerative therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with multilineage differentiation potential. They can be collected from bone marrow, fat, amniotic fluid, and teeth. Stem cell-based therapies have been widely used to treat multiple diseases, such as cardiac disease, and hematological disorders. The cells may also be beneficial for controlling the disease course and promoting tissue regeneration in oral and maxillofacial diseases. Oral-derived gingival mesenchymal stem cells are easy to access and the donor sites heal rapidly without a scar. Such characteristics demonstrate the beneficial role of GMSCs in oral and maxillofacial diseases. OBJECTIVE We summarize the features of GMSCs, including their self-renewal, multipotent differentiation, immunomodulation, and anti-inflammation properties. We also discuss their applications in oral and maxillofacial disease treatment and tissue regeneration. CONCLUSION GMSCs are easily harvestable adult stem cells with outstanding proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation characteristics. A growing body of evidence indicates that GMSCs have strong potential use in accelerating wound healing and promoting the regeneration of bone defects, periodontium, oral neoplasms, salivary glands, peri-implantitis, and nerves. Moreover, alginate, polylactic acid and polycaprolactone can be used as biodegradable scaffolds for GMSC encapsulation. Various growth factors can be applied to the corresponding scaffolds to obtain the desired GMSC differentiation and phenotypes. Three-dimensional spheroid culture systems could optimize GMSC properties and improve the performance of the cells in tissue engineering. The immunomodulatory property of GMSCs in controlling oral and maxillofacial inflammation needs further research.

Abstract
Articular cartilage regeneration is a challenge in orthopedics and tissue engineering. This study prepared a graphene oxide (GO)-modified 3D acellular cartilage extracellular matrix (ACM) scaffold for cartilage repair. Cartilage slices were decellularized using a combination of physical and chemical methods of fabricating ACM particles. GO was crosslinked with the ACM by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxy succinimide to prepare a composite scaffold. GO modification improved the internal structure and mechanical properties of the scaffold. The GO-modified (2 mg/mL) composite scaffold promoted cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and chondrogenic differentiation in vitro. Experiments on subcutaneous implantation in rats demonstrated that the composite scaffold had good biocompatibility and mild inflammatory response. After 12 weeks of implantation, the composite scaffold loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells completely bridged the cartilage defects in the rabbit knee with hyaline cartilage. Results indicated that the GO-modified 3D ACM composite scaffold can provide a powerful platform for cartilage tissue engineering and articular cartilage injury treatment.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived components are emerging sources for the engineering of biomaterials that are capable of inducing desirable cell-specific responses. This review explores the use of biomaterials derived from naturally occurring ECM proteins and their derivatives in approaches that aim to regulate cell function. Biomaterials addressed are grouped into six categories: purified single ECM proteins, combinations of purified ECM proteins, cell-derived ECM, tissue-derived ECM, diseased and modified ECM, and ECM-polymer coupled biomaterials. Purified ECM proteins serve as a material coating for enhanced cell adhesion and biocompatibility. Cell-derived and tissue-derived ECM, generated by cell isolation and decellularization technologies, can capture the native state of the ECM environment and guide cell migration and alignment patterns as well as stem cell differentiation. We focus primarily on recent advances in the fields of soft tissue, cardiac, and dermal repair, and explore the utilization of ECM proteins as biomaterials to engineer cell responses.

Abstract
Surgical resection in tongue cancer can impair speech and swallowing, reducing quality of life. There is a need for biomaterials that can regenerate tongue muscle tissue defects. Ideally, such a biomaterial would allow controlled release of therapeutic proteins, support the survival and differentiation of therapeutic cells, and promote tongue muscle regeneration in vivo. The aim of the current study was to assess these factors in an acryloyl group-modified crosslinked nanogel, consisting of cholesterol-bearing pullulan hydrogel nanoparticles, to determine its potential as a regenerative therapeutic following tongue resection. The hydrogel demonstrated substantial porosity and underwent slow biodegradation. When loaded with a model protein, the gel enabled sustained protein release over two weeks in serum, with no initial burst release. Mouse myoblasts demonstrated adhesion to the hydrogel and cell survival was observed up to one week. Gel-encapsulated myoblasts demonstrated normal myotube differentiation. Myoblast-loaded gels were implanted in a tongue defect in mice, and there was a significant increase in newly-regenerated myofibers in gel-implanted animals. The developed biomaterial platform demonstrates significant potential as a regenerative treatment following tongue resection, as it facilitates both protein and cell-mediated therapy, and stimulates tongue muscle regeneration in vivo.

Abstract
Tissue injuries in the oral and maxillofacial structures secondary to trauma, warfare, ablative cancer, and benign tumor surgery result in significant losses of speech, masticatory and swallowing functions, aesthetic deformities, and overall psychological stressors and compromise. Optimal oral rehabilitation remains a formidable challenge and an unmet clinical need due to the influence of multiple factors related to the physiologic limitations of tissue repair, the lack of site and function-specific donor tissues and constructs, and an integrated team of multidisciplinary professionals. The advancements in stem cell biology, biomaterial science, and tissue engineering technologies, particularly the 3-dimensional bioprinting technology, together with digital imaging and computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies, have paved the path for personalized/precision regenerative medicine. At the University of Pennsylvania, we have launched the initiative to integrate multidisciplinary health professionals and translational/clinical scientists in medicine, dentistry, stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine to develop a comprehensive, patient-centered approach for precision and personalized reconstruction, as well as oral rehabilitation of patients sustaining orofacial tissue injuries and defects, especially oral cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting evidence has shown that a novel subset of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human gingiva referred to as gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) displays a greater immunotherapeutic potential and regenerative repair expression than MSCs obtained from other tissues. However, the safety of the use of transplanted GMSCs in humans remains unclear. METHODS In this study, we evaluated the safety of GMSCs transplanted into mouse, rat, rabbit, beagle dog, and monkey as well as two animal models of autoimmune diseases. RESULTS In short- and long-term toxicity tests, infused GMSCs had no remarkable adverse effects on hematologic and biochemical indexes, particularly on the major organs such as heart, liver, spleen, and kidney in recipient animals. It was also shown that GMSCs were well tolerated in other assays including hemolysis, vascular, and muscular stimulation, as well as systemic anaphylaxis and passive skin Arthus reaction in animal models. GSMC infusion did not cause any notable side effects on animal models of either autoimmune arthritis or lupus. Significantly, GMSCs most likely play no role in genotoxicity and tumorigenesis. The biological features remained stable for an extended period after cell transfer. CONCLUSIONS GMSCs are safe in various animal models of autoimmunity, even during active disease episodes, especially in monkeys. This study paves a solid road for future clinical trials of GMSCs in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Oral cancer has a high annual incidence rate all over the world, and the tongue is the most frequently affected anatomic structure. The current standard care is ablative surgery of malignant neoplasm, followed by tongue reconstruction with free flap. However, such reconstructive modalities with postsurgery radiotherapy or chemotherapy can hardly support the functional recovery of the tongue-particularly, functional taste bud regeneration-in reconstructed areas, thus seriously affecting patients' prognosis and life quality. Using a critical-sized tongue defect model in rats, we show that combinatory transplantation of small intestinal submucosa-extracellular matrix (SIS-ECM) with gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) or their derivative exosomes promoted tongue lingual papillae recovery and taste bud regeneration as evidenced by increased expression of CK14, CK8, and markers for type I, II, and III taste bud cells (NTPdase 2, PLC-β2, and AADC, respectively). In addition, our results indicate that GMSCs or their derivative exosomes could increase BDNF expression, a growth factor that plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of epithelial basal progenitor cells into taste bud cells. Meanwhile, we showed an elevated expression level of Shh-which is essential for development, homeostasis, and maintenance of the taste bud organ-in wounded areas of the tongue among animals treated with GMSC/SIS-ECM or exosome/SIS-ECM as compared with SIS-ECM control. Moreover, our data show that GMSCs or their derivative exosomes promoted innervation of regenerated taste buds, as evidenced by elevated expressions of neurofilament and P2X3 at the injury areas. Together, our findings indicate that GMSC/SIS-ECM and exosome/SIS-ECM constructs can facilitate taste bud regeneration and reinnervation with promising potential application in postsurgery tongue reconstruction of patients with tongue cancer.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM)-ornamented biomaterials have attracted attention due to their high potential to improve the biofunctionality of original materials. It is thought that ECM with a bone mimetic microenvironment generated by the specific induction of osteoblasts would be more beneficial for bone regeneration than a regular ECM. In this study, we developed an osteogenic and mineralized ECM construct (Os/M-ECM-SIS) under the guidance of osteoblasts on a small intestinal submucosa (SIS) scaffold cotreated with icariin and calcium. The generated Os/M-ECM-SIS scaffolds exhibited similar morphology and inorganic components as natural bone and higher mechanical strength than ECM-SIS. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts and fibroblasts were also enhanced in the cells cultured on the Os/M-ECM-SIS scaffolds. The Os/M-ECM-SIS scaffolds even promoted transdifferentiation of fibroblasts with an upregulation of osteogenic differentiation markers. In a calvarial defect model, new bone formation was greatly enhanced in defects implanted with the Os/M-ECM-SIS scaffolds compared with ECM-SIS scaffolds. Further study showed that the Os/M-ECM-SIS scaffolds promoted bone regeneration in vitro and in vivo via the Bmp/Smad-signaling pathway. Thus, this work proposes a valuable method for generating a mineralized bone mimetic scaffold with SIS as off-the-shelf bone graft substitute that provides an excellent osteogenic microenvironment, making it suitable for application in bone tissue engineering.
