Tooth development in the 'crooked' mouse.
نویسنده
چکیده
The semidominant gene 'crooked' (Cd) in the mouse produces anomalies of the axial skeleton (resulting in a crooked tail), microphthalmia and dental abnormalities, including small molars with simplified cusp patterns that are equivalent to patterns passed through during normal morphodifferentiation. A series of embryonic litters from Cd/+ xCd/ + matings was used to investigate the embryological basis for the dental abnormalities. Microphthalmic embryos were classed as Cd/Cd, and their most normal litter mates were selected as controls ( + /+ or Cd/ + ) . An additional set of control embryos came from the inbred strain CBA/Cam ( + / + ). Serial sagittal sections of the heads of these embryos were examined microscopically, and the maximum anteroposterior diameters of the developing upper and lower first molars were measured. Reduction in the rates of growth and morphodifferentiation of CdjCd first molars, relative to those of litter mate controls, was associated with the appearance of an adjacent abnormal proliferation of the dental lamina. Some proliferations in older embryos showed signs of early tooth germ formation, but many were seen to have regressed and no examples of supernumerary teeth have been found in CdjCd adults. Small size of Cd/Cd molars may therefore result from competitive inhibition of molar growth by a transient abnormal laminal proliferation, and CdjCd cusp patterns from the relatively premature onset of hard tissue formation during normal but retarded sequences of morphodifferentiation.

Gene Expression Profile Analysis during Mouse Tooth Development
Introduction: Complex molecular pathways involve in development of different tissues such as teeth. Differential gene expression patterns during teeth development generates different tooth types. Teeth development results from interactions between oral epithelium and underlying ectomesenchyme cells with neural crest origin. Teeth development are regulated by different signaling networks. In thi...
متن کاملManagement of the Lateral Walls in Crooked Nose
In crooked noses, the lateral walls are different in shape and symmetry. Although the septum is very important to obtain a straight nose, identical and symmetrical lateral walls are needed for a straight looking nasal dorsum. As well as the septum, lateral walls also contribute in nasal skeletal support and stability. Thus, obtaining identical and symmetrical lateral walls is important. In orde...

Nowadays, with the applications of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) in pharmacy, food industry, cosmetics, toothpaste and sunscreens, pregnant women are exposed to nanoparticles. Since tooth development is vuln-erable to environmental impacts and mandibular first molar bud develops before maxillary first molar bud, in this ex-perimental study the effects of TiO2-NPs on the development ...
متن کاملCrooked neck is a component of the human spliceosome and implicated in the splicing process.
The Drosophila crooked neck (crn) gene is essential for embryogenesis and has been implicated in cell cycle progression and in pre-mRNA splicing although a direct role in either process has not been established. Here we report isolation of the human crooked neck homolog, HCRN, and provide evidence for its function in splicing. HCRN encodes an unusual protein composed largely of tetratricopeptid...
