Dermoscopy imaging findings in the normal Oral Mucosa.

Bisphosphonates (BPs) inhibit bone resorption and are frequently used to treat osteoporosis, bone metastasis, and other conditions that result in bone fragility. However, numerous studies have reported that BPs are closely related to the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), which is an intractable disease. Recent studies have demonstrated that intravenous infusion of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is effective for the treatment of BRONJ-like disease models. However, the stability of injected MSCs is relatively low. In this study, the protein level of vascular endothelial growth factor in BP-treated MSCs was significantly lower than untreated-MSCs. The mRNA expression levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand and osteoprotegerin were significantly decreased in BP-treated MSCs. We developed a tissue-engineered cell sheet of allogeneic enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-labeled MSCs and investigated the effect of MSC sheet transplantation in a BRONJ-like rat model. The MSC sheet group showed wound healing in most cases compared with the control group and MSC intravenous injection group (occurrence of bone exposure: 12.5% compared with 80% and 100%, respectively). Immunofluorescence staining revealed that EGFP-positive cells were localized around newly formed blood vessels in the transplanted sub-mucosa at 2weeks after transplantation. Blood vessels were significantly observed in the MSC sheet group compared to in the control group and MSC intravenous injection group (106±9.6 compared with 40±5.3 and 62±10.2 vessels/mm(2), respectively). These results suggest that allogeneic MSC sheet transplantation is a promising alternative approach for treating BRONJ.
