Observations on early development of the murine fetal oral vestibule.

چکیده
Morphological and immuno/histochemical studies were performed on the vestibular lamina (VL) of gestational day 13 murine fetuses, using light microscopy (LM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in an effort to elucidate the early development of the oral vestibule. Histochemistry employing LM demonstrated some PAS-positive glycogen particles in embryonic cells of the VL, dental lamina (DL), the primary epithelial band connecting the VL and DL, and the related stomodaeal simple epithelium. On the other hand, Gomori's aldehyde fuchsine method stained certain cystine-containing intracellular granules and intercellular amorphous substances, particularly in the central VL. Intense immunoreactivity for CK-10 intermediate-sized filament proteins was demonstrated in suprabasal and superficial cells of the VL stratified keratinized epithelium. Conversely, reactions for CK-19 filaments were found diffusely in both VL and DL cells retaining the cytokeratin characteristic of the simple epithelium. TEM of the VL revealed an increment in keratinosomes, tonofilaments and desmosomes in the suprabasal layers shifting toward superficial flat parakeratinized cells. The TUNEL method using CLSM detected programmed cell death in the VL, while TEM provided no morphological evidence of necrosis or typical apoptotic features during VL development. The present results indicate that physiological (naturally occurring) cell death and exfoliation of the oral-gingival type multilayered keratinizing epithelium are essential for degeneration and separation of the VL, ultimately leading to formation of the oral vestibule.

متن کاملEarly oleate deficiency leads to severe defects in fetal rat liver development
Objective(s): Oleate can be produced through de novo synthesis, which contributes to biological processes and signaling pathways. However, the role of this non-essential fatty acid in hepatic development remains unclear. The current study aimed to evaluate the influence of early oleate deficiency induced by the inhibitor of de novo oleate synthesis MF-438 on fetal rat ...
متن کاملA narrative review on fasting of pregnant women in the holy month of Ramadan
One of the basic rituals of Islam is fasting during Ramadan. In this month, all able-bodied Muslims abstain from food, fluids, smoking, and oral medications from sunrise to sunset. According to the Quran, if fasting poses major health risks to individuals, fasting during this holy month is not allowed. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fasting on maternal and fetal health. Therefore, ...
متن کاملOne Odontogenic Cell-Population Contributes to the Development of the Mouse Incisors and of the Oral Vestibule
The area of the oral vestibule is often a place where pathologies appear (e.g., peripheral odontomas). The origin of these pathologies is not fully understood. In the present study, we traced a cell population expressing Sonic hedgehog (Shh) from the beginning of tooth development using Cre-LoxP system in the lower jaw of wild-type (WT) mice. We focused on Shh expression in the area of the earl...
متن کاملHyalinizing Clear Cell Carcinoma of Buccal Vestibule: A Rare Case
Hyalinizying clear cell carcinoma is a rare tumor which affects women more than men and is more common in minor salivary glands. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of buccal vestibule in a 55-year-old woman. It is important to differentiate this neoplasm from other tumors with clear cell features because of their differences in treatment and cli...
