More Details: 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.
