Introduction:
Recombinant humanized collagen, as a novel biomaterial, exhibits multiple excellent biological functions, such as inhibition of inflammation, promotion of cell proliferation and vascular proliferation, and promotion of tissue healing. However, there is a lack of conclusive evidence regarding the specific role of recombinant humanized collagen type 17 (rhCol 17) in oral ulcer healing. This study explored whether rhCol 17 could promote the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and inhibit its inflammation, and whether it could promote the healing of oral ulcers in rats by inhibiting inflammation and accelerating tissue healing.
Methods:
At the cellular level, we investigated the effect of rhCol 17 on the proliferation of (HGFs) by CCK8; HGFs were mixed with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to investigate the effect of rhCol 17 on HGFs in an inflammatory state. Eighteen adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly distributed into three groups: blank control group, carbomer group (carbomer sprayed only), and rhCol 17 group (carbomer containing rhCol 17 sprayed), 1 time/day. The samples were collected at D3 and D5. At completion, histological staining and PCR were carried out to study its effect on the healing of oral ulcers in rats.
Results:
Through cellular experiments, we found that rhCol 17 possesses good biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory properties, and can effectively promote the proliferation and migration of HGFs, as well as significantly reduce the inflammation level of the cells. The animal experimental results showed that rhCol 17 could significantly reduce the inflammation level, promote collagen deposition and angiogenesis at the ulcer site, thus effectively accelerating the healing of oral ulcers in rats.
Conclusion:
In summary, the collagen sprays containing rhCol 17 have excellent anti-inflammatory effects and could accelerate tissue healing and are expected to provide a new effective treatment for patients with recurrent oral ulcers.
