An improved understanding of molecular response in the vocal folds to a synthetic extracellular matrix (sECM) during early wound repair is essential for understanding functional improvement of the tissue and implementation of future tissue-engineering strategies. The present study used real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to measure transcript expression of selected markers (procollagen alpha 2 type I, fibronectin, fibromodulin, hyaluronan synthase 2, and hyaluronidase 2) in 20 rabbits that underwent vocal fold biopsy bilaterally. After the biopsy, Carbylan-GSX 5% was injected immediately into the left vocal fold, and saline was injected into the right vocal fold. Two unwounded normal rabbit larynges were also harvested. Animals were sacrificed at days 1, 3, 5, and 10 post-surgery. At days 1, 3, and 10, no significant differences were found between the Carbylan-GSX-treated and saline-treated groups. At day 5, significant differences in procollagen (p = 0.02), fibronectin (p = 0.02), and transforming growth factor beta1 (p = 0.02) between the Carbylan-GSX-treated and saline-treated groups were measured. The presence of a sECM in the wound bed during the early stages of repair amplified the normal rabbit vocal fold wound-healing response over a short period of time. This amplification provided an optimal environment for tissue regeneration and may lead to the recovery of the functional biomechanical properties of the vocal folds necessary for voice production.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D005109 Extracellular Matrix A meshwork-like substance found within the extracellular space and in association with the basement membrane of the cell surface. It promotes cellular proliferation and provides a supporting structure to which cells or cell lysates in culture dishes adhere. Matrix, Extracellular,Extracellular Matrices,Matrices, Extracellular
D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014827 Vocal Cords A pair of cone-shaped elastic mucous membrane projecting from the laryngeal wall and forming a narrow slit between them. Each contains a thickened free edge (vocal ligament) extending from the THYROID CARTILAGE to the ARYTENOID CARTILAGE, and a VOCAL MUSCLE that shortens or relaxes the vocal cord to control sound production.
