the establishment of calvarial suture-bony composite defects in rats: a standardized model for suture-regenerative therapy investigation

Cranial sutures are dense fibrous connections between cranial bones, acting as joints to facilitate slight skull movement and providing a protective cushion for the brain under pressure1. In recent years, increased research has highlighted the pivotal role of cranial sutures in skull development, craniofacial homeostasis, and inherent osteo-reparative potential2,3,4,5,6,7,8. During periods of growth and development, cranial sutures act as the main growth centers in the skull4. New bone formation occurs at the osteogenic fronts on both sides of the sutures, while the cells within the sutures maintain an undifferentiated mesenchymal state, ensuring balanced skull expansion alongside brain growth1. The loss of cranial sutures at this time results in a discrepancy between the growth of the skull and brain, leading to severe issues like brain injuries, hydrocephalus, increased intracranial pressure, and cognitive dysfunction3,9.
Besides, cranial sutures play a crucial role in determining the prognosis of calvarial defects5,7,10. The regenerative potential across the calvarial surface is unevenly distributed, with cranial sutures showing remarkably superior capabilities compared to non-suture regions10,11. One study indicates that the speed of calvarial defect healing inversely correlates with the distance between the cranial suture and the injury site10. Specifically, the removal of coronal and sagittal sutures leads to the non-healing of parietal bone defects7, emphasizing the necessity of suture regeneration in calvarial defects. However, the focus of the current studies is predominantly on the restoration of cranial osseous structure while neglecting the regeneration of suture mesenchyme.
Regarding advancements in suture regeneration, promising outcomes have been observed with the transplantation of suture-containing bone flaps, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and artificial biomaterials. When bone flaps with sutures were transplanted into calvarial defects, they successfully integrated and healed, in contrast to those without sutures displaying non-union and an inability to form periosteum, dura mater, or osteocytes5. Likewise, the implantation of MSCs derived from bone marrow into sagittal suture-bony composite defects facilitated the formation of suture-like gaps12. Of note, a recent study highlighted the realization of suture regeneration with Gli1+ MSCs, allowing for intracranial pressure control, skull deformity correction, and enhanced neurocognitive function13. As regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering develop, researchers increasingly focus on tissue engineering biomaterials due to their adaptable and customizable characteristics14. Notably, polytetrafluoroethylene membranes have been proven to be effective in reconstructing cranial bone and suture mesenchyme simultaneously15,16.
However, craniofacial research lacks established models for exploring suture mesenchymal regenerative therapies, unlike relatively mature models in repairing other tissues such as bone, skin, cartilage, and muscles17. The absence of a standardized model constrains the study of suture-regenerative therapies and makes it challenging to perform comparative analysis across different studies. Therefore, our study established a practicable and reproducible rat calvarial suture-bony composite defect. Through this method, we aim to develop appropriate clinical interventions for cranial suture reconstruction, offering novel perspectives on the functional repairment of calvarial defects and decreasing unfavorable outcomes resulting from suture loss.

L'istituzione di difetti compositi di sutura calvariare-osso nei ratti: un modello standardizzato per l'indagine sulla terapia rigenerativa della sutura

Our research focuses on the detailed surgical procedures of calvarial suture-bony composite defects in rats alongside the investigations into the short-term and long-term prognoses of the model. The primary objective is to establish a standardized model that can be utilized for advancing suture regenerative therapies. For the current animal model, the primary challenge lies in completely removing the coronal suture while preserving the sagittal and frontal sutures with minimal osseous tissue removal.Our protocol allows for more straightforward comparation through self-control by creating defects in both the left and the right halves of the coronal suture and applying different interventions to each side.
