Oral cavity wound healing occurs in an environment that sustains ongoing physical trauma and is rich in bacteria. Patients undergoing cleft palate repair have a high degree of wound healing complications, such as oronasal fistula (ONF) formation. Following hard palate injury, ONF was created that demonstrated little change in pro-regenerative monocytes LY6Clo monocytes; however, there were increased M2 macrophages observed. Delivery of FTY720 nanofiber scaffolds following hard palate injury prevented ONF formation, allowed complete wound healing and was associated with increased LY6Clo monocytes and pro-regenerative M2 macrophages. Evaluation of interleukin gene expression revealed reduction in pro-inflammatory IL1 and IL6 and increased expression of pro-regenerative IL10 with FTY720 nanofiber delivery. The ability of FTY720 scaffolds to increase LY6Clo monocytes, increase M2 macrophages and alter the interleukin expression during hard palate mucosal healing demonstrates the ability of a FTY720-based autotherapy to improve oral cavity wound healing.
