Abstract Background: Alveolar cleft is a kind of cleft lip and palate, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. In this study , the model of the alveolar cleft phenotype was established in rabbits to evaluate the effect of bone collagen particles combined with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) on the repair of alveolar cleft bone defects. Methods : The model of alveolar clefts in rabbits was established by removing the incisors on the left side of the upper jaw. Bone collagen particles combined with hUC-MSCs were implanted in the defect area. Blood biochemical analysis was performed after 3 months. Skull tissues were harvested for gross observation, and micro-focus computerized tomography (micro-CT) analysis. Tissues were harvested for histological and immunohistochemical staining. The experiments were repeated 6 months after surgery. Results: The bone collagen particles and HUC-MSCs have good biological safety. In addition, both can promote the regeneration of incisor. Bone collagen particles combined with hUC-MSCs were much better than those used alone in inducing bone repair and regeneration. Conclusions: The method of HUC-MSCs combined with bone collagen particle material to fill a bone defect site is simple, rapid and suitable for the treatment of alveolar cleft bone defects.

Abstract Background: Alveolar cleft is a kind of cleft lip and palate, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. In this study, a similar model of human alveolar cleft phenotype was established in rabbits to evaluate the effect of bone collagen particles combined with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on the repair of alveolar cleft bone defects. Methods: In this study, 24 adult Japanese white rabbits (JWRs) were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups. Including normal group, control group, materials group and MSCs group. The model of alveolar clefts was established by removing the incisors on the left side of the upper jaw. The normal group did nothing. In the control group, the incisors were removed and sutured directly. In the material group, the incisor were removed, then filled with bone collagen particles, and finally sutured. In the MSCs group, the incisors were first removed, then filled with bone collagen particles incubated by hUC-MSCs, and then stitched. Blood biochemical analysis was performed 3 months after the operation. Skull tissues were collected for gross observation, and micro-focus computerized tomography (micro-CT) analysis. Paraffin sections were prepared for histological and immunohistochemical staining. Results: The bone collagen particles and hUC-MSCs are not biotoxic and can promote alvenlus regeneration. Bone collagen particles combined with hUC-MSCs were much better than those used alone in inducing bone repair and regeneration. Conclusions: HUC-MSCs can be used as a bone generation inducer combined with bone collagen materials for bone regeneration and repair.

In the control group, the incisors were removed and sutured directly. In the material group, the incisor were removed, then filled with bone collagen particles, and finally sutured. In the MSCs group, the incisors were first removed, then filled with bone collagen granules incubated by hUC-MSCs, and then stitched.

Cleft lip and palate is a congenital disorder including cleft lip, and/or cleft palate, and/or alveolar cleft, with high incidence.The alveolar cleft causes morphological and functional abnormalities. To obtain bone bridge formation and continuous structure between alveolar clefts, surgical interventions are performed from infancy to childhood. However, desirable bone bridge formation is not obtained in many cases. Regenerative medicine using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is expected to be a useful strategy to obtain sufficient bone bridge formation between alveolar clefts. In this study, we examined the effect of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs by transplantation into a rat experimental alveolar cleft model. Human umbilical cords were digested enzymatically and the isolated cells were collected (UC-EZ cells). Next, CD146-positive cells were enriched from UC-EZ cells by magnetic-activated cell sorting (UC-MACS cells). UC-EZ and UC-MACS cells showed MSC gene/protein expression, in vitro. Both cells had multipotency and could differentiate to osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages under the differentiation-inducing media. However, UC-EZ cells lacked Sox2 expression and showed the lower ratio of MSCs than UC-MACS cells. Thus, UC-MACS cells were transplanted with hydroxyapatite and collagen (HA + Col) into alveolar cleft model to evaluate bone formation in vivo. The results of micro computed tomography and histological staining showed that UC-MACS cells with HA + Col induced more abundant bone formation between the experimental alveolar clefts than HA + Col implantation only. Cells immunopositive for osteopontin were accumulated along the bone surface and some of them were embedded in the bone. Cells immunopositive for human-specific mitochondria were aligned along the newly formed bone surface and in the new bone, suggesting that UC-MACS cells contributed to the bone bridge formation between alveolar clefts. These findings indicate that human umbilical cords are reliable bioresource and UC-MACS cells are useful for the alveolar cleft regeneration.
