%X BACKGROUND: A variety of congenital or acquired conditions can cause craniomaxillofacial bone defects, resulting in a heavy financial burden and psychological stress. Guided bone self-generation with periosteum-preserved has great potential for reconstructing large bone defects.
METHODS: A swine model of guided bone regeneration with occlusive periosteum was established, the rib segment was removed, and the periosteum was sutured to form a closed regeneration chamber. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's staining, and Safranine O-Fast Green staining were done. Nine-time points were chosen for collecting the periosteum and regenerated bone tissue for gene sequencing. The expression level of each secreted frizzled-related protein (SFRP) member and the correlations among them were analyzed.
RESULTS: The process of bone regeneration is almost complete 1 month after surgery, and up to 1 week after surgery is an important interval for initiating the process. The expression of each SFRP family member fluctuated greatly. The highest expression level of all members ranged from 3 days to 3 months after surgery. The expression level of SFRP2 was the highest, and the difference between 2 groups was the largest. Secreted frizzled-related protein 2 and SFRP4 showed a notable positive correlation between the control and model groups. Secreted frizzled-related protein 1, SFRP2, and SFRP4 had a significant spike in fold change at 1 month postoperatively. Secreted frizzled-related protein 1 and SFRP2 had the strongest correlation.
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed the dynamic expression of the SFRP family in guided bone regeneration with occlusive periosteum in a swine model, providing a possibility to advance the clinical application of bone defect repair.
