Abstract
Oral mucosa is an ideal model for studying scarless wound healing. Researchers have shown that the key factors which promote scarless wound healing already exist in basal state of oral mucosa. Thus, to identify the other potential factors in basal state of oral mucosa will benefit to skin wound healing. In this study, we identified eight gene modules enriched in wound healing stages of human skin and oral mucosa through co-expression analysis, among which the module M8 was only module enriched in basal state of oral mucosa, indicating that the genes in module M8 may have key factors mediating scarless wound healing. Through bioinformatic analysis of genes in module M8, we found IGF2 may be the key factor mediating scarless wound healing of oral mucosa. Then, we purified IGF2 protein by prokaryotic expression, and we found that IGF2 could promote the proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells. Moreover, IGF2 promoted wound re-epithelialization and accelerated wound healing in a full-thickness skin wound model. Our findings identified IGF2 as a factor to promote skin wound healing which provide a potential target for wound healing therapy in clinic.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process that involves the coordinated actions of many different tissues and cell lineages. It requires tight orchestration of cell migration, proliferation, matrix deposition and remodelling, alongside inflammation and angiogenesis. Whereas small skin wounds heal in days, larger injuries resulting from trauma, acute illness or major surgery can take several weeks to heal, generally leaving behind a fibrotic scar that can impact tissue function. Development of therapeutics to prevent scarring and successfully repair chronic wounds requires a fuller knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving wound healing. In this Review, we discuss the current understanding of the different phases of wound healing, from clot formation through re-epithelialization, angiogenesis and subsequent scar deposition. We highlight the contribution of different cell types to skin repair, with emphasis on how both innate and adaptive immune cells in the wound inflammatory response influence classically studied wound cell lineages, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells, but also some of the less-studied cell lineages such as adipocytes, melanocytes and cutaneous nerves. Finally, we discuss newer approaches and research directions that have the potential to further our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning tissue repair.

Abstract
Mouth ulcers, a highly prevalent ailment affecting the oral mucosa, leading to pain and discomfort, significantly impacting the patient's daily life. The development of innovative approaches for oral ulcer treatment is of great importance. Moreover, a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of mouth ulcers will facilitate the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. The oral environment possesses distinct traits as it serves as the gateway to the digestive and respiratory systems. The permeability of various epithelial layers can influence drug absorption. Moreover, oral mucosal injuries exhibit distinct healing patterns compared to cutaneous lesions, influenced by various inherent and extrinsic factors. Furthermore, the moist and dynamic oral environment, influenced by saliva and daily physiological functions like chewing and speaking, presents additional challenges in local therapy. Also, suitable mucosal adhesion materials are crucial to alleviate pain and promote healing process. To this end, the review comprehensively examines the anatomical and structural aspects of the oral cavity, elucidates the healing mechanisms of oral ulcers, explores the factors contributing to scar-free healing in the oral mucosa, and investigates the application of mucosal adhesive materials as drug delivery systems. This endeavor seeks to offer novel insights and perspectives for the treatment of oral ulcers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cell models have shown great promise as tools for research, potentially providing intriguing alternatives to animal models. However, the original tissue characteristics must be maintained in culture, a fact that is often assumed, but seldom assessed. We aimed to follow the retention of the original tissue identities of cleft lip-derived skin and mucosa keratinocytes in vitro. METHODS Cleft lip-derived keratinocytes were isolated from discarded tissue along the cleft margins during cheiloplasty. Cell identities were assessed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR for tissue-specific markers and compared with native lip tissue. Moreover, keratinocytes were regularly analyzed for the retention of the original tissue characteristics by the aforementioned methods as well as by differentiation assays. RESULTS The various anatomical zones of the human lip could be distinguished using a panel of differentiation and functional-based markers. Using these markers, retention of the original tissue identities could be followed and confirmed in the corresponding primary keratinocytes in culture. CONCLUSIONS Our findings promote patient-derived cells retaining their original identities as astonishing and clinically relevant in vitro tools. Such cells allow a better molecular understanding of various lip-associated pathologies as well as their modeling in vitro, including but not restricted to orofacial clefts.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that adversely affects the oral mucosa; however, its etiology remains elusive. Consequently, therapeutic interventions for oral lichen planus are limited to symptomatic management. This study provides evidence of the accumulation of senescent mesenchymal cells, CD8 + T cells, and natural killer cells in patients with oral lichen planus. We profiled the patients' tissues using the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus database and found that senescence-related genes were upregulated in these tissues by gene set enrichment analysis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed increased senescent mesenchymal cells in the subepithelial layer of patients with oral lichen planus. Single-cell RNA-seq data retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus database of patients with oral lichen planus revealed that mesenchymal cells were marked by the upregulation of senescence-related genes. Cell-cell communication analysis using CellChat showed that senescent mesenchymal cells significantly influenced CD8 + T cells and natural killer cells via CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling, which is known to activate and recruit CD8 + T cells and NK cells. Finally, in vitro assays demonstrated that the secretion of senescence-associated factors from mesenchymal cells stimulated the activation of T cells and natural killer cells and promoted epithelial cell senescence and cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that the accumulation of mesenchymal cells with senescence-associated secretory phenotype may be a key driver of oral lichen planus pathogenesis.

Abstract
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) may be an effective treatment modality for oral cavity cancers (OCC) due to possibility of more effective visualization of tumor margins and greater preservation of benign tissue. The objective of this study is to review the existing literature on the use of MMS for the treatment of OCC and categorize its uses and limitations. A systematic review was performed in accordance with Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from inception of databases to January 20, 2023 identified all published studies on the use of MMS for OCC. Nine studies met inclusion criteria. Seventy-seven patients were treated with MMS for OCC, 74 of which (96%) were treated for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The tongue was the most common site (n = 57). Six out of seven studies showed no recurrence of disease during the follow-up periods, which ranged from 8 to 42 months, and one study reported significantly lower loco-regional recurrence over a 2-years follow-up period (10.5% vs 25.7%). Mohs technique did not cause a statistically significant increase in operating time. Applicability of MMS is limited by operator comfort with surgical technique and pathological interpretation of specimens in the oral cavity. The main limitation was that various studies did not report specific patient characteristics. In conclusion, MMS may be an effective treatment for OCC, especially for squamous cell carcinomas, and tumors involving the tongue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate acute normal tissue responses in the head and neck region following proton- or X-irradiation of a murine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female C57BL/6J mice were irradiated with protons (25 or 60 MeV) or X-rays (100 kV). The radiation field covered the oral cavity and the major salivary glands. For protons, two different treatment plans were used, either with the Bragg Peak in the middle of the mouse (BP) or outside the mouse (transmission mode; TM). Delivered physical doses were 41, 45, and 65 Gy given in 6, 7, and 10 fractions for BP, TM, and X-rays, respectively. Alanine dosimetry was used to assess delivered doses. Oral mucositis and dermatitis were scored using CTC v.2.0-based tables. Saliva was collected at baseline, right after end of irradiation, and at day 35. RESULTS The measured dose distribution for protons (TM) and X-rays was very similar. Oral mucositis appeared earlier, had a higher score and was found in a higher percentage of mice after proton irradiation compared to X-irradiation. Dermatitis, on the other hand, had a similar appearance after protons and X-rays. Compared to controls, saliva production was lower right after termination of proton- and X-irradiation. The BP group demonstrated saliva recovery compared to the TM and X-ray group at day 35. CONCLUSION With lower delivered doses, proton irradiation resulted in similar skin reactions and increased oral mucositis compared to X-irradiation. This indicates that the relative biological effectiveness of protons for acute tissue responses in the mouse head and neck is greater than the clinical standard of 1.1. Thus, there is a need for further investigations of the biological effect of protons in normal tissues.

Abstract
The repair process for oral and maxillofacial injuries involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Injury repair involves a variety of cells, including platelets, immune cells, fibroblasts, and various cytokines. Rapid and adequate healing of oral and maxillofacial trauma is a major concern to patients. Functional drug-delivery hydrogels play an active role in promoting wound healing and have shown unique advantages in wound dressings. Functional hydrogels promote wound healing through their adhesive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, hemostatic, angiogenic, and re-epithelialization-promoting properties, effectively sealing wounds and reducing inflammation. In addition, functional hydrogels can respond to changes in temperature, light, magnetic fields, pH, and reactive oxygen species to release drugs, enabling precise treatment. Furthermore, hydrogels can deliver various cargos that promote healing, including nucleic acids, cytokines, small-molecule drugs, stem cells, exosomes, and nanomaterials. Therefore, functional drug-delivery hydrogels have a positive impact on the healing of oral and maxillofacial injuries. This review describes the oral mucosal structure and healing process and summarizes the currently available responsive hydrogels used to promote wound healing.

Abstract
Objective Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease that delays the healing process, including the interruption of the processes of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. The etiology of most angiogenic-related diseases, such as diabetes complications, includes the presence of hypoxia caused by declined vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) and CD-31. d-limonene, one of the main constituents of Citrus limon, is considered to have angiogenic, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the exact mechanism of this process remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the potential of C. limon as a medication for diabetic ulceration. Methods A total of 30 Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) induced with DM and traumatic ulcers on the lower lip mucosa were divided into six groups-three each for control and treatment groups. Control groups were treated with CMC 5% gel, and treatment groups were administered with C. limon peel essential oil gel. The expression of VEGF and CD-31 was observed on days 5, 7, and 9. Immunohistochemical examinations were performed with the monoclonal antibodies anti-VEGF and anti-CD-31. ANOVA was conducted to analyze the differences between the groups (p < 0.05). Result An increase in VEGF and CD-31 expression in the treatment group was observed compared with that of the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Citrus limon peel essential oil gel increased VEGF and CD-31 expression during the healing process of traumatic ulcers in diabetes-afflicted Wistar rats.

Abstract
Most human tissue injuries lead to the formation of a fibrous scar and result in the loss of functional tissue. One adult tissue that exhibits a more regenerative response to injury with minimal scarring is the oral mucosa. We generated a microarray gene expression dataset to examine the response to injury in human palate and skin excisional biopsies spanning the first 7 days after wounding. Differential expression analyses were performed in each tissue to identify genes overexpressed or underexpressed over time when compared to baseline unwounded tissue gene expression levels. To attribute biological processes of interest to these gene expression changes, gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify core gene sets that are enriched over the time-course of the wound healing process with respect to unwounded tissue. This analysis identified gene sets uniquely enriched in either palate or skin wounds and gene sets that are enriched in both tissues in at least one time point after injury. Finally, a cell type enrichment analysis was performed to better understand the cell type distribution in these tissues and how it changes over the time course of wound healing. This work provides a source of human wound gene expression data that includes two tissue types with distinct regenerative and scarring phenotypes.

Phytohustil ® and root extract of Althaea officinalis L. exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties and improve the migratory capacity of endothelial cells in vitro. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:948248. [PMID: 36569306 PMCID: PMC9773075 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.948248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Althaea officinalis L.'s root extract (REA) has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient times to treat a cough. Applying REA leads to a protective film that induces a faster regeneration of the lesioned laryngopharyngeal mucosa caused by dry coughs. The buccopharyngeal mucosa is a highly vascularized tissue. In this regard, anti-inflammatory/-oxidant phytochemicals that improve the repair of the lesion site, e.g., neovascularization in the wound, are critical for promoting healing. For this reason, it is essential to investigate the effects of Phytohustil® and REA on different cellular components of the mucosa under conditions similar to those found in the injured mucosa. Thus, this in vitro study investigated the anti-inflammatory/oxidative and pro-migratory properties of Phytohustil® cough syrup on vascular endothelial cells. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were pretreated (24 h) with Phytohustil®, its excipients, or REA, followed by incubation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 1 h; pro-oxidative) or with lipopolysaccharides (LPS; 3 h; pro-inflammatory). Viability and cytotoxicity were measured by PrestoBlue® assay. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were quantified with 20-70-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA). The release of interleukin 6 (IL6) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The migratory capacity of HUVEC was measured using a scratch assay. Results: Our results show that Phytohustil®, its excipients and REA were not cytotoxic. Pretreatment of HUVEC (24 h) with Phytohustil® or REA inhibited the LPS-activated IL6 release. Phytohustil® or REA inhibited the H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and intracellular ROS production. Phytohustil® and REA significantly stimulated wound closure compared to the control. Conclusion: Our data show that Phytohustil® and REA have anti-inflammatory/-oxidant properties and improve the migratory capacity of vascular endothelial cells. These properties may contribute to the healing characteristics of Phytohustil® and support the benefit of Phytohustil® in patient's treatment of irritated oral mucosa.

Abstract
The percutaneous device dilemma describes etiological factors, centered around the disrupted epithelial tissue surrounding non-remodelable devices, that contribute to rampant percutaneous device infection. Natural percutaneous organs, in particular their extracellular matrix mediating the "device"/epithelium interface, serve as exquisite examples to inspire longer lasting long-term percutaneous device design. For example, the tooth's imperviousness to infection is mediated by the epithelium directly surrounding it, the junctional epithelium (JE). The hallmark feature of JE is formation of hemidesmosomes, cell/matrix adhesive structures that attach surrounding oral gingiva to the tooth's enamel through a basement membrane. Here, the authors survey the multifaceted functions of the JE, emphasizing the role of the matrix, with a particular focus on hemidesmosomes and their five main components. The authors highlight the known (and unknown) effects dental implant - as a model percutaneous device - placement has on JE regeneration and synthesize this information for application to other percutaneous devices. The authors conclude with a summary of bioengineering strategies aimed at solving the percutaneous device dilemma and invigorating greater collaboration between clinicians, bioengineers, and matrix biologists.

Abstract
The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis is crucial in regulating thyroid hormone levels that contribute to the development and homeostasis of the human body. Current literature supports the presence of a local HPT axis equivalent within keratinocytes of the skin, with thyroid hormones playing a potential role in cancer progression. However, this remains to be seen within oral tissue cells. An electronic search of Scopus and PubMed/Medline databases was conducted to identify all original publications that reported data on the production or effects of HPT axis components in normal or malignant cells of the oral cavity. The search identified 221 studies, of which 14 were eligible. Eight studies were retrospective analyses of clinical samples, one study involved both in vivo and in vitro experiments, and the remaining five studies were conducted in vitro using cell lines. The search identified evidence of effects of HPT components on oral cancer cells. However, there were limited data for the production of HPT axis components by oral tissues. We conclude that a possible role of the local HPT axis equivalent in the oral mucosa may not be established at present. The gaps in knowledge identified in this scoping review, particularly regarding the production of HPT components by oral tissues, warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Pseudomembranous candidiasis (thrush), erythematous candidiasis, and fungal esophagitis are infections of the barrier mucosa of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The majority of these infections are caused by Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungal pathogen that frequently exists as a harmless commensal on mucosal surfaces lining the gastrointestinal tract. Oral infections are initiated in the superficial stratified squamous epithelium, in which keratinocytes are the most abundant host cells and are the initial points of contact with C. albicans present in saliva. Intrinsic features of oral keratinocytes are likely to play important roles in host defense and tissue homeostasis in oral candidiasis. One understudied pathway that may be important for modulating oral candidiasis is the IL-20 cytokine signaling pathway that employs keratinocyte IL-20RB receptors as ligands for IL-19, IL-20, and IL-24. We report that production of human oral keratinocyte il24 mRNA and protein are stimulated during co-culture with C. albicans. To test the role of the IL-20 family signaling pathway in oral candidiasis, Il20rb-/- mice (lacking the IL-20RB receptor) were compared to wild-type mice in a murine model of oropharyngeal candidiasis. Fungal burdens and percent loss in body weight were determined. Despite comparable fungal burdens, the Il20rb-/- mice exhibited less weight loss over the course of their infection compared to the B6 mice, suggestive of reduced overall disease consequences in the mutant mice. Interference with IL-20 family cytokine signaling may be useful for augmenting the ability of the host to defend itself against pathogens.

Abstract
Significance: Wound healing is the largest medical market without an existing small molecule/drug treatment. Both "under-healing" (chronic wounds) and "over-healing" (scarring) cause a substantial biomedical burden and lifelong consequences for patients. These problems cost tens of billions of dollars per year in the United States alone, a number expected to grow as the population ages and the prevalence of common comorbidities (e.g., diabetes) rises. However, no therapies currently exist to produce the "ideal" healing outcome: efficient wound repair through regeneration of normal tissue. Recent Advances: Ongoing research continues to illuminate possible therapeutic avenues for wound healing. By identifying underlying mechanisms of wound repair-for instance, tissue mechanics' role in fibrosis or cell populations that modulate wound healing and scarring-novel molecular targets may be defined. This Advances in Wound Care Forum issue includes reviews of scientific literature and original research from the Hagey Laboratory for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine at Stanford and its alumni, including developing approaches for encouraging wound healing, minimizing fibrosis, and coaxing regeneration. Critical Issues: Wound healing problems reflect an enormous and rapidly expanding clinical burden. The issues of both under- and over-healing wound outcomes will continue to expand as their underlying causes (e.g., diabetes) grow. Targeted treatments are needed to enable wound repair with functional tissue restoration and decreased scarring. Future Directions: Basic scientists will continue to refine understanding of factors driving undesirable wound outcomes. These discoveries are beginning to be translated and, in the coming years, will hopefully form the foundation for antiscarring drugs and other wound therapeutics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The gingiva heals at an accelerated rate with reduced scarring when compared to skin. Potential well-studied factors include immune cell number, angiogenesis disparities and fibroblast gene expression. Differential keratinocyte gene expression, however, remains relatively understudied. This study explored the contrasting healing efficiencies of gingival and skin keratinocytes, alongside their differential gene expression patterns. METHODS 3D organotypic culture models of human gingiva and skin were developed using temporarily immortalised primary keratinocytes. Models were wounded for visualisation of re-epithelialisation and analysis of keratinocyte migration to close the wound gap. Concurrently, differentially expressed genes between primary gingival and skin keratinocytes were identified, validated, and functionally assessed. RESULTS Characterisation of the 3D cultures of gingiva and skin showed differentiation markers that recapitulated organisation of the corresponding in vivo tissue. Upon wounding, gingival models displayed a significantly higher efficiency in re-epithelialisation and stratification versus skin, repopulating the wound gap within 24 hours. This difference was likely due to distinct patterns of migration, with gingival cells demonstrating a form of sheet migration, in contrast to skin, where the leading edge was typically 1-2 cells thick. A candidate approach was used to identify several genes that were differentially expressed between gingival and skin keratinocytes. Knockdown of PITX1 resulted in reduced migration capacity of gingival cells. CONCLUSION Gingival keratinocytes retain in vivo superior wound healing capabilities in in vitro 2D and 3D environments. Intrinsic gene expression differences could result in gingival cells being 'primed' for healing and play a role in faster wound resolution. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The successful development of organotypic models, that recapitulate re-epithelialisation, will underpin further studies to analyse the oral response to wound stimuli, and potential therapeutic interventions, in an in vitro environment.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and associated with reduced quality of life and high mortality rate. DFUs are characterized by a deregulated immune response with decreased neutrophils due to loss of the transcription factor, FOXM1. Diabetes primes neutrophils to form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), contributing to tissue damage and impaired healing. However, the role of FOXM1 in priming diabetic neutrophils to undergo NET formation remains unknown. Here, we found that FOXM1 regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in neutrophils and inhibition of FOXM1 results in increased ROS leading to NET formation. Next generation sequencing revealed that TREM1 promoted the recruitment of FOXM1+ neutrophils and reversed effects of diabetes and promoted wound healing in vivo. Moreover, we found that TREM1 expression correlated with clinical healing outcomes of DFUs, indicating TREM1 may serve as a useful biomarker or a potential therapeutic target. Our findings highlight the clinical relevance of TREM1, and indicates FOXM1 pathway as a novel regulator of NET formation during diabetic wound healing, revealing new therapeutic strategies to promote healing in DFUs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Offset analgesia (OA) is commonly used to quantify endogenous pain inhibition. However, the potential role of afferent inputs and the subsequent peripheral factors from different body areas on the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. OBJECTIVES The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the magnitude of OA in four different body areas representing a) glabrous and non-glabrous skin, b) trigeminal and extra-trigeminal areas, and c) intra- and extra-oral tissue. METHODS OA was assessed at the oral mucosa of the lower lip, at the skin of the cheek, the forearm and the palm of the hand in 32 healthy and pain-free participants. OA testing included two trials: (1) a constant trial (30 seconds of constant heat stimulation at an individualized temperature of Pain50 (pain intensity of 50 out of 100)), and (2) an offset trial (10 seconds of individualized Pain50 , followed by 5 seconds at Pain50 +1°C and 15 seconds at Pain50 ). Participants continuously rated their pain during each trial with a computerized visual analog scale. RESULTS A significant OA response was recorded at the oral mucosa (p<0.001, d=1.24), the cheek (p<0.001, d=0.84) and the forearm (p<0.001, d=1.04), but not at the palm (p=0.19, d=0.24). Significant differences were shown for OA recorded at the cheek versus the mucosa (p=0.02), and between palm and mucosa (p=0.007), but not between the remaining areas (p>0.05). CONCLUSION This study suggests that intra-oral endogenous pain inhibition assessed with OA is enhanced and supports the role of peripheral mechanisms contributing to the OA response.

[PMID: 35691470 DOI: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2022.104730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The English idiom "on the tip of my tongue" commonly acknowledges that something is known, but it cannot be immediately brought to mind. This phrase accurately describes sensorimotor functions of the tongue, which are fundamental for many tongue-related behaviors (e.g., speech), but often neglected by scientific research. Here, we review a wide range of studies conducted on non-primates, non-human and human primates with the aim of providing a comprehensive description of the cortical representation of the tongue's somatosensory inputs and motor outputs across different phylogenetic domains. First, we summarize how the properties of passive non-noxious mechanical stimuli are encoded in the putative somatosensory tongue area, which has a conserved location in the ventral portion of the somatosensory cortex across mammals. Second, we review how complex self-generated actions involving the tongue are represented in more anterior regions of the putative somato-motor tongue area. Finally, we describe multisensory response properties of the primate and non-primate tongue area by also defining how the cytoarchitecture of this area is affected by experience and deafferentation.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a complex and devastating complication of diabetes mellitus that are usually stagnant in the inflammatory phase. However, oral wound healing, which is characterized by a rapid and scarless healing process, is regarded an ideal model of wound healing. Thus, we performed a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of the previously published data regarding oral ulcers and DFUs and found that compared to oral wound healing, the activated pathways of DFUs were enriched in cellular metabolism-related pathways but lacked the activation of inflammatory and immune-related pathways. We also found that CXCL11, DDX60, IFI44, and IFI44L were remarkable nodes since they had the most connections with other members of the module. Meanwhile, CXCL10, IRF7, and DDX58 together formed a closed-loop relationship and occupied central positions in the entire network. The real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot was applied to validate the gene expression of the hub immune-related genes in the DFU tissues, it was found that CXCL11, IFI44, IFI44L, CXCL10 and IRF7 have a significant difference compared with normal wound tissues. Our research reveals some novel potential immune-related biomarkers and provides new insights into the molecular basis of this debilitating disease.

Abstract
This review explores the evolution of the use of hydrogels for craniofacial soft tissue engineering, ranging in complexity from acellular injectable fillers to fabricated, cell-laden constructs with complex compositions and architectures. Addressing both in situ and ex vivo approaches, tissue restoration secondary to trauma or tumor resection is discussed. Beginning with relatively simple epithelia of oral mucosa and gingiva, then moving to more functional units like vocal cords or soft tissues with multilayer branched structures, such as salivary glands, various approaches are presented toward the design of function-driven architectures, inspired by native tissue organization. Multiple tissue replacement paradigms are presented here, including the application of hydrogels as structural materials and as delivery platforms for cells and/or therapeutics. A practical hierarchy is proposed for hydrogel systems in craniofacial applications, based on their material and cellular complexity, spatial order, and biological cargo(s). This hierarchy reflects the regulatory complexity dictated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States prior to commercialization of these systems for use in humans. The wide array of available biofabrication methods, ranging from simple syringe extrusion of a biomaterial to light-based spatial patterning for complex architectures, is considered within the history of FDA-approved commercial therapies. Lastly, the review assesses the impact of these regulatory pathways on the translational potential of promising pre-clinical technologies for craniofacial applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: While many commercially available hydrogel-based products are in use for the craniofacial region, most are simple formulations that either are applied topically or injected into tissue for aesthetic purposes. The academic literature previews many exciting applications that harness the versatility of hydrogels for craniofacial soft tissue engineering. One of the most exciting developments in the field is the emergence of advanced biofabrication methods to design complex hydrogel systems that can promote the functional or structural repair of tissues. To date, no clinically available hydrogel-based therapy takes full advantage of current pre-clinical advances. This review surveys the increasing complexity of the current landscape of available clinical therapies and presents a framework for future expanded use of hydrogels with an eye toward translatability and U.S. regulatory approval for craniofacial applications.

Abstract
Perinatal derivatives (PnD) are birth-associated tissues, such as placenta, umbilical cord, amniotic and chorionic membrane, and thereof-derived cells as well as secretomes. PnD play an increasing therapeutic role with beneficial effects on the treatment of various diseases. The aim of this review is to elucidate the modes of action of non-hematopoietic PnD on inflammation, angiogenesis and wound healing. We describe the source and type of PnD with a special focus on their effects on inflammation and immune response, on vascular function as well as on cutaneous and oral wound healing, which is a complex process that comprises hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation (including epithelialization, angiogenesis), and remodeling. We further evaluate the different in vitro assays currently used for assessing selected functional and therapeutic PnD properties. This review is a joint effort from the COST SPRINT Action (CA17116) with the intention to promote PnD into the clinics. It is part of a quadrinomial series on functional assays for validation of PnD, spanning biological functions, such as immunomodulation, anti-microbial/anti-cancer activities, anti-inflammation, wound healing, angiogenesis, and regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment on wound healing and macrophage polarization was investigated in vivo. Animal models of oral ulcers were simulated through chemically induced oral ulcers in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS PBM treatment using an infrared pulsed laser was used to treat oral ulcers in the animal models. Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups depending on set absorbed energy: Group 1 (control), Group 2 (30 J), Group 3 (60 J), and Group 4 (100 J). Laser treatment was performed every other day for 8 days after ulcer confirmation. Parameters used were as follows: wavelength 808 nm, power output 50 mW, spot size 10 mm, frequency 10 Hz, and pulse duration 1 millisecond. Ulcers were measured to determine the effect of the treatments over time. Histology, immunostaining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of PBM treatment on macrophage-related (IL-6/IL-10) and wound-healing-related (TNF-α/TGF-β/MMP-2) cytokine expression. RESULTS Histological examinations indicate that the PBM treatment stimulated a higher level of wound recovery after 8 days of treatment at 60 J absorbed energy compared to other treatment groups. Analyses of relative gene expression of proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue remodeling cytokines indicate that the macrophages in the tissue samples were predominantly characterized as M2 subtypes (alternatively activated), which possibly accounts for the accelerated tissue repair in the animal model of oral ulcer. CONCLUSION This preliminary study stands as a proof of concept regarding the potential use of infrared laser PBM treatment for oral ulcers which have not been previously investigated upon. PBM treatment affects macrophage polarization and enhances wound healing. Further experimentation will be conducted to expand the understanding of how PBM treatment affects the healing mechanism of ulcers.

Abstract
Neuropeptides have been known for over 50 years as chemical signals in the brain. However, it is now well established that the synthesis of this class of peptides is not restricted to neurons. For example, human skin not only expresses several functional receptors for neuropeptides but, also, can serve as a local source of neuroactive molecules such as corticotropin-releasing hormone, melanocortins, and β-endorphin. In contrast, an equivalent of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in the oral mucosa has not been well characterized to date. In view of the differences in the morphology and function of oral mucosal and skin cells, in this review I surveyed the existing evidence for a local synthesis of hypothalamic-pituitary, opiate, neurohypophyseal, and neuroendocrine neuropeptides in both epidermal and oral keratinocytes.

JAPANESE DENTAL SCIENCE REVIEW 2021; 57:174-181.

Abstract
Wound healing in the oral and maxillofacial region is a complicated and interactive process. Severe mucosal or skeletal muscle injury by trauma or surgery induces worse healing conditions, including delayed wound closure and repair with excessive scar tissue. These complications lead to persistent functional impairment, such as digestive behavior or suppression of maxillofacial growth in infancy. Osteopontin (OPN), expressed in a variety of cells, is multifunctional and comprises a number of functional domains. Seven amino acids sequence, SVVYGLR (SV peptide), exposed by thrombin cleavage of OPN, has angiogenic activity and promotes fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts and increased expression of collagen type III. Additionally, synthetic SV peptide shows faster dermal and oral mucosal wound closure by facilitating cell motility and migratory activities in dermal- or mucosal-derived keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Moreover, cell motility and differentiation in myogenic cell populations are accelerated by SV peptide, which contributes to the facilitation of matured myofibers and scarless healing and favorable functional regeneration after skeletal muscle injury. SV peptide has high affinity with TGF-β, with potential involvement of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. Clinical application of single-dose SV peptide could be a powerful alternative treatment option for excessive oral and maxillofacial wound care to prevent disadvantageous events.

Space Maintainers Used in Pediatric Dentistry: An Insight of Their Biosecurity Profile by Applying In Vitro Methods. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14206215.

Abstract
Space maintainers have presented an increased interest due to their chemical composition which influences the electrochemical and electrolytic processes of the oral cavity, leading to important biological activity. The present study was purported to evaluate the biological in vitro activity of three types of space maintainers (S1, S2, and S3, differing from each other in terms of metal composition) used in pediatric dentistry, in terms of their antimicrobial effect and biosecurity profile using two types of keratinocytes (PGK: primary gingival keratinocytes, and HaCaT: human immortalized keratinocytes) by assessing the morphology, viability, cytotoxicity, and gene expression of the cells. Statistical differences were calculated by the one-way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey’s post-test. Antimicrobial screening highlighted a dilution-dependent influence that, in the case of all strains tested, did not show inhibition or stimulation of bacterial growth. The in vitro evaluations revealed that the test samples did not induce important cytotoxic potential on both keratinocyte cell lines (HaCaT and PGK), with the cells manifesting no morphological alteration, a good viability rate (above 90%: PGK–S1, * p < 0.05), and a low cytotoxic activity (less than 11%: PGK, S1 *** p < 0.001 and S3 * p < 0.05; HaCaT, S1 ** p < 0.01). The data obtained in this study highlight the fact that the samples analyzed are biocompatible and do not develop the growth of the studied bacteria or encode the gene expression of primary and immortalized keratinocytes.

Abstract
Variants within the gene encoding for the transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 6 (IRF6) are associated with syndromic and non-syndromic Cleft Lip/Palate (CLP) cases. IRF6 plays a vital role in the regulation of the proliferation/differentiation balance in keratinocytes and is involved in wound healing and migration. Since a fraction of CLP patients undergoing corrective cleft surgery experience wound healing complications, IRF6 represents an interesting candidate gene linking the two processes. However, Irf6 function has been mainly studied in mice and knowledge on IRF6 in human cells remains sparse. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role of IRF6 in human postnatal skin- and oral mucosa-derived keratinocytes. To do so, we applied CRISPR/Cas9 to ablate IRF6 in two TERT-immortalized keratinocyte cultures, which we used as model cell lines. We show that IRF6 controls the appearance of single cells and colonies, with the latter being less cohesive in its absence. Consequently, IRF6 knockout keratinocytes often moved as single cells instead of a collective epithelial sheet migration but maintained their epithelial character. Lack of IRF6 triggered severe keratinocyte differentiation defects, which were already apparent in the stratum spinosum and extended to the stratum corneum in 3D organotypic skin cultures, while it did not alter their growth rate. Finally, proteomics revealed that most of the differentially expressed proteins in the absence of IRF6 could be associated with differentiation, cell-cell adhesion as well as immune response. Our data expand the knowledge on IRF6 in human postnatal keratinocytes, which will help to better understand IRF6-related pathologies.

Abstract
Following injury, the oral mucosa undergoes complex sequences of biological healing processes to restore homeostasis. While general similarities exist, there are marked differences in the genomics and kinetics of wound healing between the oral cavity and cutaneous epithelium. The lack of successful therapy for oral mucosal wounds has influenced clinicians to explore alternative treatments and potential autotherapies to enhance intraoral healing. The present in-depth review discusses current gold standards for oral mucosal wound healing and compares endogenous factors that dictate the quality of tissue remodeling. We conducted a review of the literature on in vivo oral wound healing models and emerging regenerative therapies published during the past twenty years. Studies were evaluated by injury models, therapy interventions, and outcome measures. The success of therapeutic approaches was assessed, and research outcomes were compared based on current hallmarks of oral wound healing. By leveraging therapeutic advancements, particularly within in cell-based biomaterials and immunoregulation, there is great potential for translational therapy in oral tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Papillomaviruses (PVs) are a heterogeneous group of DNA viruses that can infect fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals. PVs infecting humans (HPVs) phylogenetically cluster into five genera (Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, Mu- and Nu-PV), with differences in tissue tropism and carcinogenicity. The evolutionary features associated with the divergence of Papillomaviridae are not well understood. Using a combination of k-mer distributions, genetic metrics, and phylogenetic algorithms, we sought to evaluate the characteristics and differences of Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma-PVs constituting the majority of HPV genomes. A total of 640 PVs including 442 HPV types, 27 non-human primate PV types, and 171 non-primate animal PV types were evaluated. Our analyses revealed the highest genetic diversity amongst Gamma-PVs compared to the Alpha and Beta PVs, suggesting reduced selective pressures on Gamma-PVs. Using a sequence alignment-free trimer (k = 3) phylogeny algorithm, we reconstructed a phylogeny that grouped most HPV types into a monophyletic clade that was further split into three branches similar to alignment-based classifications. Interestingly, a subset of low-risk Alpha HPVs (the species Alpha-2, 3, 4, and 14) split from other HPVs and were clustered with non-human primate PVs. Surprisingly, the trimer-constructed phylogeny grouped the Gamma-6 species types originally isolated from the cervicovaginal region with the main Alpha-HPV clade. These data indicate that characterization of papillomavirus heterogeneity via orthogonal approaches reveals novel insights into the biological understanding of HPV genomes.

The Bigger Picture: Why Oral Mucosa Heals Better Than Skin. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11081165. [PMID: 34439831 PMCID: PMC8394648 DOI: 10.3390/biom11081165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Wound healing is an essential process to restore tissue integrity after trauma. Large skin wounds such as burns often heal with hypertrophic scarring and contractures, resulting in disfigurements and reduced joint mobility. Such adverse healing outcomes are less common in the oral mucosa, which generally heals faster compared to skin. Several studies have identified differences between oral and skin wound healing. Most of these studies however focus only on a single stage of wound healing or a single cell type. The aim of this review is to provide an extensive overview of wound healing in skin versus oral mucosa during all stages of wound healing and including all cell types and molecules involved in the process and also taking into account environmental specific factors such as exposure to saliva and the microbiome. Next to intrinsic properties of resident cells and differential expression of cytokines and growth factors, multiple external factors have been identified that contribute to oral wound healing. It can be concluded that faster wound closure, the presence of saliva, a more rapid immune response, and increased extracellular matrix remodeling all contribute to the superior wound healing and reduced scar formation in oral mucosa, compared to skin.

Abstract
Epithelial tissues are the most rapidly dividing tissues in the body, holding a natural ability for renewal and regeneration. This ability is crucial for survival as epithelia are essential to provide the ultimate barrier against the external environment, protecting the underlying tissues. Tissue stem and progenitor cells are responsible for self-renewal and repair during homeostasis and following injury. Upon wounding, epithelial tissues undergo different phases of haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling, often resulting in fibrosis and scarring. In this review, we explore the phenotypic differences between the skin, the oesophagus and the oral mucosa. We discuss the plasticity of these epithelial stem cells and contribution of different fibroblast subpopulations for tissue regeneration and wound healing. While these epithelial tissues share global mechanisms of stem cell behaviour for tissue renewal and regeneration, the oral mucosa is known for its outstanding healing potential with minimal scarring. We aim to provide an updated review of recent studies that combined cell therapy with bioengineering exporting the unique scarless properties of the oral mucosa to improve skin and oesophageal wound healing and to reduce fibrotic tissue formation. These advances open new avenues toward the ultimate goal of achieving scarless wound healing.

Accelerated burn wound healing with photobiomodulation therapy involves activation of endogenous latent TGF-β1. Sci Rep 2021; 11:13371.

Abstract
The severity of tissue injury in burn wounds from associated inflammatory and immune sequelae presents a significant clinical management challenge. Among various biophysical wound management approaches, low dose biophotonics treatments, termed Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, has gained recent attention. One of the PBM molecular mechanisms of PBM treatments involves photoactivation of latent TGF-β1 that is capable of promoting tissue healing and regeneration. This work examined the efficacy of PBM treatments in a full-thickness burn wound healing in C57BL/6 mice. We first optimized the PBM protocol by monitoring tissue surface temperature and histology. We noted this dynamic irradiance surface temperature-monitored PBM protocol improved burn wound healing in mice with elevated TGF-β signaling (phospho-Smad2) and reduced inflammation-associated gene expression. Next, we investigated the roles of individual cell types involved in burn wound healing following PBM treatments and noted discrete effects on epithelieum, fibroblasts, and macrophage functions. These responses appear to be mediated via both TGF-β dependent and independent signaling pathways. Finally, to investigate specific contributions of TGF-β1 signaling in these PBM-burn wound healing, we utilized a chimeric TGF-β1/β3 knock-in (TGF-β1Lβ3/Lβ3) mice. PBM treatments failed to activate the chimeric TGF-β1Lβ3/Lβ3 complex and failed to improve burn wound healing in these mice. These results suggest activation of endogenous latent TGF-β1 following PBM treatments plays a key role in burn wound healing. These mechanistic insights can improve the safety and efficacy of clinical translation of PBM treatments for tissue healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Due to its intrinsic properties, there has been growing interest in human amniotic membrane (hAM) in recent years particularly for the treatment of ocular surface disorders and for wound healing. Herein, we investigate the potential use of hAM and amnion-chorion membrane (ACM) in oral surgery. Based on our analysis of the literature, it appears that their applications are very poorly defined. There are two options: implantation or use as a cover material graft. The oral cavity is submitted to various mechanical and biological stimulations that impair membrane stability and maintenance. Thus, some devices have been combined with the graft to secure its positioning and protect it in this location. This current opinion paper addresses in detail suitable procedures for hAM and ACM utilization in soft and hard tissue reconstruction in the oral cavity. We address their implantation and/or use as a covering, storage format, application side, size and number, multilayer use or folding, suture or use of additional protective covers, re-application and resorption/fate. We gathered evidence on pre- and post-surgical care and evaluation tools. Finally, we integrated ophthalmological and wound healing practices into the collected information. This review aims to help practitioners and researchers better understand the application of hAM and ACM in the oral cavity, a place less easily accessible than ocular or cutaneous surfaces. Additionally, it could be a useful reference in the generation of new ideas for the development of innovative protective covering, suturing or handling devices in this specific indication. Finally, this overview could be considered as a position paper to guide investigators to fulfill all the identified criteria in the future.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a major public health issue, and various periodontal therapies have been performed to regenerate periodontal tissues. The periodontium is a complex structure composed of specialized tissues that support the teeth, and most periodontal surgeries are invasive procedures, including a resection of the gingiva or the alveolar bone. The periodontal wound healing process is slightly different from cutaneous wound healing and is similar to fetal healing, being almost scar-free. The aim of this review article is to provide an overview of periodontal wound healing and discuss various surgical and pharmaceutical approaches to achieve stable wound healing and improve the treatment outcomes. In addition, detrimental and limiting factors that induce a compromised prognosis are discussed, along with the perspective and future direction for successful periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Objective. To identify the key genetic and epigenetic mechanisms involved in the wound healing process after injury of the oral mucosa. Materials and Methods. Gene expression profiling datasets pertaining to rapid wound healing of oral mucosa were identified using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during oral mucosal wound healing. Next, functional enrichment analysis was performed to identify the biological processes (BPs) and signaling pathways relevant to these DEGs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to identify hub DEGs. Interaction networks were constructed for both miRNA-target DEGs and DEGs-transcription factors. A DEGs-chemical compound interaction network and a miRNA-small molecular interaction network were also constructed. Results. DEGs were found significantly enriched in several signaling pathways including arachidonic acid metabolism, cell cycle, p53, and ECM-receptor interaction. Hub genes, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2, HDAC5, MAP1LC3A, AURKA, and PLK1, were identified via PPI network analysis. Two miRNAs, miR-34a-5p and miR-335-5p, were identified as pivotal players in the miRNA-target DEGs network. Four transcription factors FOS, PLAU, BCL6, and RORA were found to play key roles in the TFs-DEGs interaction network. Several chemical compounds including Valproic acid, Doxorubicin, Nickel, and tretinoin and small molecular drugs including atorvastatin, 17β-estradiol, curcumin, and vitamin D3 were noted to influence oral mucosa regeneration by regulating the expression of healing-associated DEGs/miRNAs. Conclusion. Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms and specific drugs were identified as significant molecular mechanisms and entities relevant to oral mucosal healing. These may be valuable potential targets for experimental research.

Abstract
Macrophages are prominent cells in normally healing adult skin wounds, yet their exact functions and functional significance to healing outcomes remain enigmatic. Many functional attributes are ascribed to wound macrophages, including host defense and support of the proliferation of new tissue to replace that lost by injury. Indeed, the depletion of macrophages is unmistakably detrimental to normal skin healing in adult mammals. Yet in certain systems, dermal wounds seem to heal well with limited or even no functional macrophages, creating an apparent paradox regarding the function of this cell in wounds. Recent advances in our understanding of wound macrophage phenotypes, along with new information about cellular plasticity in wounds, may provide some explanation for the apparently contradictory findings and suggest new paradigms regarding macrophage function in wounds. Continued study of this remarkable cell is needed to develop effective therapeutic options to improve healing outcomes.

Abstract
Healing of the skin and oral mucosa utilises similar mechanisms of tissue repair, however, scarring and the rate of wound closure is vastly superior in the oral cavity suggesting differences between these two environments. One key difference is the phenotype of dermal fibroblasts compared to fibroblasts of gingival tissues. Human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) are undifferentiated cells with multi-differentiation and self-renewal capacities. This study aimed to examine if delivering hGFs or their secretome, contained in hGF-conditioned media (hGF-CM), would improve healing of the skin and recapitulate features of oral healing. Human fibroblasts, keratinocytes and endothelial cells were first treated with hGF-CM and showed improved migration, proliferation and angiogenic functions. A significant reduction in macroscopic wound area and histologic dermal wound width, as well as an increased rate of re-epithelialisation, were observed in both hGFs and hGF-CM treated murine excisional wounds. This improvement was associated with reduced inflammation, increased angiogenesis and elevated collagen deposition. These findings demonstrate that treatment of dermal wounds with either hGFs or hGF-CM may provide beneficial gingival-like properties to dermal wounds and may be a potential opportunity for improving healing of the skin.

Abstract
Osteopontin-derived SVVYGLR (SV) 7-amino-acid sequence is a multifunctional and synthetic SV peptide implicated in angiogenesis, production of collagen III, and fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts. This study investigated the effect of the SV peptide on mucosal wound healing activity. Normal human-derived gingival fibroblasts (NHGF) and human oral mucosa keratinocytes (HOMK) were used for in vitro experiments. In addition, an oral punch wound was prepared at the buccal mucosa in male rats aged 11 weeks, and we evaluated the effect of local injection of SV peptide on wound healing. The synthetic SV peptide showed no influence on the proliferation and adhesion properties of NHGF and HOMK, but it enhanced the cell motility and migration activities. TGF-β1 receptor inhibitor, SB431542 or SB505124, substantially suppressed the SV peptide-induced migration activity, suggesting an involvement of TGF-β1 receptor activation. Furthermore, SV peptide accelerated the healing process of an in vivo oral wound model, compared with control groups. Further immunohistological staining of wound tissue revealed that an increase in capillary growth and the greater number of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts that migrated into the wound area might contribute to the facilitation of the healing process produced by the SV peptide. The SV peptide has beneficial effects on oral wound healing through enhancement of the earlier phase consisting of angiogenesis and remodeling with granulation tissue. The synthetic SV peptide can be a useful treatment option, particularly for intractable mucosal wounds caused by trauma or surgery for progressive lesions such as oral cancer.

Abstract
Advanced therapies in medicine use stem cells, gene editing, and tissues to treat a wide range of conditions. One of their goals is to stimulate endogenous repair of tissues and organs by manipulating stem cells and their niche, as well as to optimize the intrinsic characteristics and plasticity of differentiated cells in adult tissues. In this context, fibroblasts emerge as an alternative source to stem cells because they share phenotypic and regenerative characteristics. Specifically, fibroblasts of the oral mucosae have been shown to have improved regenerative capacity compared to other fibroblast populations. Additionally, their easy access by means of minimally invasive procedures without generating aesthetic problems, with easy and rapid in vitro expansion and with great capacity to respond to extrinsic factors, make oral fibroblasts an attractive and interesting resource for regenerative medicine. This review summarizes current concepts regarding the phenotypic and functional aspects of human Gingival Fibroblasts and their niche, differentiating them from other fibroblast populations of oral-lining mucosa and skin fibroblasts. Furthermore, some applications are presented in regenerative medicine, emphasizing on the biological potential of human Gingival Fibroblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between dental anxiety and mucosal wound healing, especially the inflammatory response, has not been well studied. This study aimed to examine the relationship between anxiety prior to dental treatment and short-term inflammation following impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM) surgery. METHODS Fifty-nine patients who required IMTM surgery were recruited for this study. Sample demographics (gender, age) and surgical extent (Pederson classification, duration) were collected. Psychological stress towards surgery was assessed by the Dental Fear Survey (DFS). All surgeries were conducted according to an identical surgical protocol and all patients were given the same medical prescription. Correlations between short-term inflammation (swelling and trismus after 2 days) and DFS, demographics and surgical extent were statistically analysed. RESULTS The results showed that patients with a higher DFS score demonstrated more severe swelling (β = 0.36, P = 0.016) and trismus (β = 0.37, P = 0.008) 2 days after surgery. In addition, more severe trismus occurred following more difficult surgery (β = 0.29, P = 0.016) or that with a longer duration (β = 0.21, P = 0.081). Neither gender nor age showed any significant relationship with swelling or trismus. CONCLUSION Short-term inflammatory response following IMTM surgery correlated with the preoperative dental anxiety and this correlation was independent of gender and surgical extent.

Abstract
Epoxy-tiglianes are a novel class of diterpene esters. The prototype epoxy-tigliane, EBC-46 (tigilanol tiglate), possesses potent anti-cancer properties and is currently in clinical development as a local treatment for human and veterinary cutaneous tumors. EBC-46 rapidly destroys treated tumors and consistently promotes wound re-epithelialization at sites of tumor destruction. However, the mechanisms underlying these keratinocyte wound healing responses are not completely understood. Here, we investigated the effects of EBC-46 and an analogue (EBC-211) at 1.51 nM-151 µM concentrations, on wound healing responses in immortalized human skin keratinocytes (HaCaTs). Both EBC-46 and EBC-211 (1.51 nM-15.1 µM) accelerated G0/G1-S and S-G2/M cell cycle transitions and HaCaT proliferation. EBC-46 (1.51-151 nM) and EBC-211 (1.51 nM-15.1 µM) further induced significant HaCaT migration and scratch wound repopulation. Stimulated migration/wound repopulation responses were even induced by EBC-46 (1.51 nM) and EBC-211 (1.51-151 nM) with proliferation inhibitor, mitomycin C (1 μM), suggesting that epoxy-tiglianes can promote migration and wound repopulation independently of proliferation. Expression profiling analyses showed that epoxy-tiglianes modulated keratin, DNA synthesis/replication, cell cycle/proliferation, motility/migration, differentiation, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and cytokine/chemokine gene expression, to facilitate enhanced responses. Although epoxy-tiglianes down-regulated established cytokine and chemokine agonists of keratinocyte proliferation and migration, enhanced HaCaT responses were demonstrated to be mediated via protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation and significantly abrogated by pan-PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide-1 (BIM-1, 1 μM). By identifying how epoxy-tiglianes stimulate keratinocyte healing responses and re-epithelialization in treated skin, our findings support the further development of this class of small molecules as potential therapeutics for other clinical situations associated with impaired re-epithelialization, such as non-healing skin wounds.

MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13112603.

Abstract
The healing of oral lesions that are associated with diabetes mellitus is a matter of great concern. Bioactive glass is a highly recommended bioceramic scaffold for bone and soft tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel formula of bioactive glass nanofibers in enhancing oral mucosal wound regeneration in diabetes mellitus. Bioactive glass nanofibres (BGnf) of composition (1–2) mol% of B2O3, (68–69) mol% of SiO2, and (29–30) mol% of CaO were synthesized via the low-temperature sol-gel technique followed by mixing with polymer solution, then electrospinning of the glass sol to produce nanofibers, which were then subjected to heat treatment. X-Ray Diffraction analysis of the prepared nanofibers confirmed its amorphous nature. Microstructure of BGnf simulated that of the fibrin clot with cross-linked nanofibers having a varying range of diameter (500–900 nm). The in-vitro degradation profile of BGnf confirmed its high dissolution rate, which proved the glass bioactivity. Following fibers preparation and characterization, 12 healthy New Zealand male rabbits were successfully subjected to type I diabetic induction using a single dose of intravenous injection of alloxan monohydrate. Two weeks after diabetes confirmation, the rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (control and experimental groups). Bilateral elliptical oral mucosal defects of 10 × 3.5 mm were created in the maxillary mucobuccal fold of both groups. The defects of the experimental group were grafted with BGnf, while the other group of defects considered as a control group. Clinical, histological, and immune-histochemical assessment of both groups of wounds were performed after one, two and three weeks’ time interval. The results of the clinical evaluation of BGnf treated defects showed complete wound closure with the absence of inflammation signs starting from one week postoperative. Control defects, on the other hand, showed an open wound with suppurative exudate. On histological and immunohistochemical level, the BGnf treated defects revealed increasing in cell activity and vascularization with the absence of inflammation signs starting from one week time interval, while the control defects showed signs of suppurative inflammation at one week time interval with diminished vascularization. The results advocated the suitability of BGnf as bioscaffold to be used in a wet environment as the oral cavity that is full of microorganisms and also for an immune-compromised condition as diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Co-cultures allow for the study of cell-cell interactions between different eukaryotic species or with bacteria. Such an approach has enabled researchers to more closely mimic complex tissue structures. This review is focused on co-culture systems modelling the oral cavity, which have been used to evaluate this unique cellular environment and understand disease progression. Over time, these systems have developed significantly from simple 2D eukaryotic cultures and planktonic bacteria to more complex 3D tissue engineered structures and biofilms. Careful selection and design of the co-culture along with critical parameters, such as seeding density and choice of analysis method, have resulted in several advances. This review provides a comparison of existing co-culture systems for the oral environment, with emphasis on progression of 3D models and the opportunity to harness techniques from other fields to improve current methods. While filling a gap in navigating this literature, this review ultimately supports the development of this vital technique in the field of oral biology.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted pathogen, and high-risk HPVs contribute to 5% of human cancers, including 25% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Despite the significant role played by HPVs in HNSCC, there is currently no available in vivo system to model the process from papillomavirus infection to virus-induced HNSCC. In this paper, we describe an infection-based HNSCC model, utilizing a mouse papillomavirus (MmuPV1), which naturally infects laboratory mice. Infections of the tongue epithelium of two immunodeficient strains with MmuPV1 caused high-grade squamous dysplasia with early signs of invasive carcinoma over the course of 4 months. When combined with the oral carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO), MmuPV1 caused invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the tongue of both immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice. These tumors expressed markers of papillomavirus infection and HPV-associated carcinogenesis. This novel preclinical model provides a valuable new means to study how natural papillomavirus infections contribute to HNSCC.IMPORTANCE The species specificity of papillomavirus has limited the development of an infection-based animal model to study HPV-associated head and neck carcinogenesis. Our study presents a novel in vivo model using the mouse papillomavirus MmuPV1 to study papillomavirus-associated head and neck cancer. In our model, MmuPV1 infects and causes lesions in both immunodeficient and genetically immunocompetent strains of mice. These virally induced lesions carry features associated with both HPV infections and HPV-associated carcinogenesis. Combined with previously identified cancer cofactors, MmuPV1 causes invasive squamous cell carcinomas in mice. This model provides opportunities for basic and translational studies of papillomavirus infection-based head and neck disease.

Abstract
Bicellular tight junctions are multiprotein complexes that are required for maintenance of barrier function and fence function in epithelial tissues. Wound healing in the oral cavity leads to minimal scar formation compared to the skin, and the precise mechanisms for this regenerative response remain to be elucidated. We hypothesized that oral and skin tissues express a different tight junction repertoire both at baseline and during the wound healing response, and that these molecules may be critical to the differential repair between the two tissues. We re-analyzed a mouse skin and palate epithelium microarray dataset to identify the tight junction repertoire of these tissue types. We then re-analyzed a skin and tongue wound healing microarray dataset to see how expression levels of tight junction genes change over time in response to injury. We performed in vitro scratch assays on human oral and skin keratinocyte cell lines to assay for tight junction expression over time, tight junction expression in response to lipopolysaccharide and histamine treatment, and the effects of siRNA knockdown of claudin 1 or occludin on migration and proliferation. Our data showed that oral and skin epithelium expressed different tight junction genes at baseline and during the wound healing response. Knockdown of claudin 1 or occludin led to changes in proliferation and migration in human skin keratinocytes but not oral keratinocytes. Furthermore, we also showed that skin keratinocytes were more permeable than oral keratinocytes upon histamine treatment. In conclusion, this study highlights a specific subset of functional tight junction genes that are differentially expressed between the oral and skin tissues, which may contribute to the mechanisms leading to distinct healing phenotypes in response to injury in the two tissues.
