The goal of vocal fold wound healing is the reconstitution of functional tissue, including a structurally and functionally intact epithelium. Mechanisms underlying reepithelialization in vocal folds are not known, although it is suspected that healing involves the interplay between several growth factors. We used a three-dimensional human embryonic stem cell-derived model of vocal fold mucosa to examine the effects of one growth factor, exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF), on wound healing. A scratch wound was created in the in vitro model. Rate of wound healing, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation, and cell proliferation post-injury were analyzed with and without application of both exogenous EGF and an EGFR inhibitor, Gefitinib. Wound repair after injury was significantly hastened by application of exogenous EGF (13.3 µm/hour, ±2.63) compared to absence of exogenous EGF (7.1 µm/hour ±2.84), but inhibited with concurrent addition of Gefitinib (5.2 µm/hour, ±2.23), indicating that EGF mediates wound healing in an EGFR-dependent manner. Immunohistochemistry revealed that EGFR activation occurred only in the presence of exogenous EGF. While not statistically significant, increased density of Ki67 staining in epithelium adjacent to the scratch wound was observed following treatment with EGF, suggesting a tendency for exogenous EGF to increase epithelial cell proliferation. Exogenous EGF increases the rate of wound healing in an EGFR-dependent manner in a three-dimensional stem cell-derived model of vocal fold mucosa. This model of wound healing can be used to gain insight into the mechanisms that regulate vocal fold epithelial repair following injury.
