Popis: Abstract Background To establish a strategy for stem cell-related tissue regeneration therapy, human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (hGMSCs) were loaded with three-dimensional (3D) bioengineered Matrigel matrix scaffolds in high-cell density microtissues to promote local tissue restoration. Methods The biological performance and stemness of hGMSCs under 3D culture conditions were investigated by viability and multidirectional differentiation analyses. A Sprague‒Dawley (SD) rat full-thickness buccal mucosa wound model was established, and hGMSCs/Matrigel were injected into the submucosa of the wound. Autologous stem cell proliferation and wound repair in local tissue were assessed by histomorphometry and immunohistochemical staining. Results Three-dimensional suspension culture can provide a more natural environment for extensions and contacts between hGMSCs, and the viability and adipogenic differentiation capacity of hGMSCs were significantly enhanced. An animal study showed that hGMSCs/Matrigel significantly accelerated soft tissue repair by promoting autologous stem cell proliferation and enhancing the generation of collagen fibers in local tissue. Conclusion Three-dimensional cell culture with hydrogel scaffolds, such as Matrigel, can effectively improve the biological function and maintain the stemness of stem cells. The therapeutic efficacy of hGMSCs/Matrigel was confirmed, as these cells could effectively stimulate soft tissue repair to promote the healing process by activating the host microenvironment and autologous stem cells.
