Abstract
Objectives: To use tissue engineering muscle repair (TEMR) for regenerating the lingual musculature of hemiglossectomized rats using neonatal myoblasts (NM) on porcine acellular urinary bladder matrix (AUBM). Material and Methods: The study used 80 male rats. A volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury was created on the left side of the tongue. The rats were randomized into four groups: Group 1 (AUBM + myoblasts); Group 2 (AUBM); Group 3 (myoblasts); and Group 4 (control). NM were obtained from neonatal rats. The animals were weighed on day 0 and just before euthanasia. Five rats in each group were euthanized at days 2, 14, 28, and 42; the tongues were prepared for morphometric analysis, postoperative left hemitongue weight, and immunohistochemical analysis (desmin, CD-31, and anti-neurofilament). Results: The weight gain from greatest to least was as follows: AUBM + myoblasts > myoblasts > AUBM > control. The tongue dorsum occupied by VML, and difference in mg between control side and intervened side from least to great was as follows: AUBM + myoblasts < myoblasts < AUBM < control. The order from highest to lowest antibody positivity was as follows: AUBM + myoblasts > myoblasts > AUBM > control. Conclusion: The use of porcine AUBM and NM for the regeneration of lingual musculature was found to be an effective TEMR treatment for repairing tongue VML injury.
