Notch signaling pathway in tooth shape variations throughout evolution

ABSTRACT: Evolutionary changes in vertebrates are linked to genetic alterations that often affect tooth-crown shape, which is a criterion of speciation events, especially in mammals. The Notch pathway is highly conserved between species and controls morphogenetic processes in most developing organs, including teeth. Epithelial loss of the Notch-ligand Jagged1 in developing mouse molars affects the location, size and interconnections of their cusps that lead to minor tooth-crown shape modifications convergent to those observed along Muridae evolution. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that these alterations are due to the modulation of more than 2000 genes and that Notch signaling is a hub for significant morphogenetic networks, such as Wnts and Fibroblast Growth Factors. The modeling of these tooth-crown changes in mutant mice, via a three-dimensional metamorphosis approach, allowed prediction of how Jagged1-associated mutations in humans could affect the morphology of their teeth. These results shed new light on Notch/Jagged1-mediated signaling as one of the crucial components for dental variations in evolution.

Effect of epithelial depletion of Kdf1 on gene expression alteration during tooth crown development

Project description:In our study, we observed that mice lacking epithelial Kdf1 exhibited rounded and blunt molar cusps, accompanied by abnormal folding of dental epithelium, suggesting that epithelial Kdf1 played a regulatory role in molar crown morphogenesis. Nevertheless, the mechanism within dental epithelium regulating tooth crown morphogenesis remains unclear.

Transcriptomic profiling of the adult reptilian dentition sheds light on the genes regulating indefinite tooth replacement [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The aim of this study is to discover new genes and cells involved in life-long tooth replacement. Here we study the adult dentition of the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius). Bulk RNAseq was used to compare teeth that are in function versus unerupted, developing teeth and single cell RNA-seq was carried out on jaw segments containing the dental forming tissues. In bulk RNAseq data, we found that functional teeth expressed genes involved in bone and tooth resorption. Indeed, we found expression of these markers in multinucleated odontoclasts within resorbing functional teeth. Chemotaxis genes SEMA3A and SEMA3E, were expressed within odontoblasts and in adjacent mesenchyme using RNAscope. Semaphorins could be involved in regulating odontoclast formation, recruitment or repulsion from developing teeth. The scRNA-seq experiment successfully isolated dental mesenchyme and several epithelial clusters. We confirmed that some of these genes are expressed in the earliest tooth buds within the tooth forming field and in erupting teeth. This work will lead to discovery of genes and cell populations that may have been gained or lost during evolution of amniotes. Moreover, gene differences may lead to dental therapies to prevent tooth loss from disease or injury.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals deep homology of dental cell types across vertebrates [JPOOL]

Project description:Here we use single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of replacement teeth and adjacent oral lamina in Lake Malawi cichlids, species with lifelong whole-tooth replacement, to make two main discoveries. First, despite hundreds of millions of years of evolution, we demonstrate conservation of cell type gene expression across vertebrate teeth (fish, mouse, human). Second, we used an approach that combines marker gene expression and developmental potential of dental cells to uncover the transcriptional signature of stem-like cells in regenerating teeth. Our work underscores the importance of a comparative framework in the study of vertebrate oral and regenerative biology.

Notum Regulates the Cusp and Root Patterns in Mouse Molar

Project description:Notumis a direct target of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and plays a crucial role as a Wnt inhibitor within a negative feedback loop. In the tooth, Notum is known to be expressed in odontoblasts, and severe dentin defects and irregular tooth roots have been reported in Notum-deficient mice. However, the precise expression pattern of Notum in early tooth development, and the role of Notum in crown and root patterns remain elusive. In the present study, we identified a novel Notum expression in primary enamel knot (EK), secondary EKs, and dental papilla during tooth development. Notum-deficient mice exhibited enlarged secondary EKs, resulting in broader cusp tips, altered cusp patterns, and reduced concavity in crown outline. These alterations in crown outline led to a reduction in cervical tongue length, thereby inducing root fusion in Notum-deficient mice. Overall, these results suggest that the size of secondary EK size, regulated by the Wnt/Notum negative feedback loop, has a significant impact on the patterns of crown and root during tooth morphogenesis.

β-cell Jagged1 is sufficient but not necessary for islet Notch activity and insulin secretory defects.

Project description:Objective Notch signaling is re-activated in β cells from obese mice, and is causal to β cell dysfunction. Notch activity is determined in part by expression of transmembrane ligand availability in a neighboring cell. We hypothesized that β cell expression of Jagged1 determines the maladaptive Notch response and resultant β cell dysfunction in obese mice. Methods We assessed expression of Notch pathway components in diet-induced obese (DIO) or leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice, and performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) in islets from patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). We generated and performed glucose tolerance testing in inducible, β cell-specific Jagged1 gain-of- and loss-of-function mice. We also tested effects of monoclonal neutralizing antibodies to Jagged1 in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assays in isolated islets. Results Jag1 was the only Notch ligand that tracked with increased Notch activity in DIO and db/db mice. Consistently, JAG1 tracked with Notch activity in metabolically inflexible β cells enriched in patients with T2D. Neutralizing antibodies to block Jagged1 in islets isolated from DIO and db/db mice potentiated GSIS ex vivo. To demonstrate if β cell Jagged1 is sufficient to cause glucose tolerance in vivo, we generated inducible β cell-specific Jag1 transgenic mice (β-Jag1TG), which showed impaired glucose intolerance due to reduced GSIS. However, β cell-specific Jagged1 loss-of-function (β-Jag1KO) did not protect against HFD-induced insulin secretory defects or glucose intolerance. Conclusions Jagged1 is increased in islets from obese mice and in patients with T2D, and neutralizing Jagged1 antibodies lead to improved GSIS, suggesting that inhibition of Jagged1-Notch signaling may have therapeutic benefit. However, genetic loss-of-function experiments suggest that β cells are not a likely source of the Jagged1 signal.

IGF1 treatment of developing mouse molar

Project description:When evolution leads to differences in body size, organs generally scale along. A well-known example of the tight relationship between organ and body size is the scaling of mammalian molar teeth. To investigate how teeth scale during development and evolution, we compared mouse and rat molar development from initiation through final size. Whereas the linear dimensions of the rat first lower molar are twice that of the mouse molar, their shapes are largely the same. We found that scaling of the molars starts early, and that the rat molar is patterned equally as fast but in a larger size than the mouse molar. Using transcriptomics, we discovered that a known regulator of body size, insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1), is more highly expressed in the rat molars compared to the mouse molars. Ex vivo and in vivo mouse models demonstrated that modulation of the IGF pathway reproduces several aspects of the observed scaling process. Furthermore, analysis of IGF1-treated mouse molars and computational modeling indicate that IGF signalling scales teeth by simultaneously inhibiting the cusp patterning programme and by enhancing growth, thereby providing a relatively simple mechanism for scaling teeth during development and evolution. Finally, comparative data from shrews to elephants suggest that this scaling of patterning mechanism regulates the minimum tooth size possible, as well as the patterning potential of large teeth.

DNA copy number variation analysis in hepatoma cell lines

Project description:We analyzed specific genes for DNA copy number variation in hepatoma cells and investigated whether these factors are related to liver cancer phenotype. Chromosome 20p, which includes the ligand for Notch pathways, Jagged1, was found to be amplified in several types of hepatoma cells. In conclusion, amplification of Jagged1 contributed to mRNA expression that activates the Jagged1-Notch signaling pathway in liver cancer and led to poor outcome.
