Ctip2/Bcl11b controls ameloblast formation during mammalian odontogenesis.
The transcription factor Ctip2/Bcl11b plays essential roles in developmental processes of the immune and central nervous systems and skin. Here we show that Ctip2 also plays a key role in tooth development. Ctip2 is highly expressed in the ectodermal components of the developing tooth, including inner and outer enamel epithelia, stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium, and the ameloblast cell l...
متن کاملEpithelial-mesenchymal Interactions during Odontogenesis
Recently we reported ultrastructural observatlons which indicated that matrix vesicles were actual constituents of the intercellular organic matrix during embryonic tooth development (14). It is assumed that many of these matrix vesicles are involved in formative aspects of dentinogenesis or amelogenesis, two primary extracellular processes that occur during embryonic tooth formation The fracti...
متن کاملExpression pattern of odontogenic ameloblast-associated and amelotin during formation and regeneration of the junctional epithelium.
The junctional epithelium (JE) adheres to the tooth surface, and seals off periodontal tissues from the oral environment. This incompletely differentiated epithelium is formed initially by the fusion of the reduced enamel organ with the oral epithelium (OE). Two proteins, odontogenic ameloblast-associated (ODAM) and amelotin (AMTN), have been identified in the JE. The objective of this study wa...
متن کاملAlbumin gene expression during mouse odontogenesis.
Albumin protein is present in developing teeth of several species. Oligomer primers and cRNA probes specific for albumin were designed to perform RT-PCR, and for in situ hybridization, respectively. In situ hybridization failed to reveal albumin expression in any tooth cells, however, albumin PCR products were amplified from tissues adhering to the roots of developing teeth from four-week-old m...
متن کاملEnamelin Is Critical for Ameloblast Integrity and Enamel Ultrastructure Formation
Mutations in the human enamelin gene cause autosomal dominant hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta in which the affected enamel is thin or absent. Study of enamelin knockout NLS-lacZ knockin mice revealed that mineralization along the distal membrane of ameloblast is deficient, resulting in no true enamel formation. To determine the function of enamelin during enamel formation, we characterized ...
