Project description:Background: Ameloblast differentiation is the most critical stepwise process in amelogenesis and controlled by a precisely molecules synergistically. To better understand the molecular events defining cell differentiation between preameloblasts and secretory ameloblasts during amelogenesis, a more precise identification of molecules and signaling networks would shed light on the mechanisms governing enamel formation and help lay a foundation for enamel regeneration. Results: Gene expression profiles of human preameloblast and secretory ameloblast cells were obtained using human genome microarrays. From a total of 28,869 analyzed transcripts, 923 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with FDR<0.01 and Fold-change > 2 were obtained. Among them, more than twice DEGs were found enriched in PAB (n = 647) compared with SAB (n = 276). Notably, 38 genes were identified significantly differentially expressed between PAB and SAB (Fold Change > 8). Comparison of transcriptional profiles of PAB and SAB together with KEGG pathway analysis revealed genes enrichment in PAB were chiefly involved in cell cycle control, DNA damage repair and apoptosis, while genes related to cell adhesion and extracellular matrix had elevated expression level in SAB. Two co-expression modules were further identified significantly associated with the ameloblast differentiation process by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).These gene networks seem to contribute to cell adhesion, tissue development, cell signaling and division. Furthermore, the co-expression associations of RunX2 and BMP8A were also observed in these modules. Conclusions: In this study, we uncovered that the differentiation from PAB to SAB may rely on a highly regulated network of interactions between conserved signal transduction pathways, including members of BMP/TGF-β, Notch, MAPK pathways to coordinate all aspects of ameloblast in intracellular processes and their social contexts. Specifically, expression of genes associated with cell cycle control, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis pathways regulates pre-ameloblast maturation during tooth development. And the SAB cells are regulated by several signaling pathways controlling enamel matrix proteins secretion and cell adhesion, which are critical for enamel formation and cell-cell interactions. Apart from showing the transcriptional patterns of PAB and SAB, the application of bioinformatic analysis also explored the potential key genes and gene-associations in ameloblast differentiation. These findings will aid in the design of new strategies to promote ameloblast functional differentiation in the regeneration and tissue engineering of teeth. Human tooth buds (18-22 weeks) were obtained from fetal cadaver tissue within 3 hours after legal abortion. Teeth were dissected from the mandibles under a laminar flow hood, embedded in OCT compound, and cryosectioned at 10-μm thickness. These sections were used for laser capture microdissection (LCM). In total of 3 pre-ameloblasts and 3 secretory ameloblasts pooled samples were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:We compared the overall gene expression pattern between secretory ameloblasts and maturation ameloblasts, and found out there were 244 genes differentially exppressed in the maturation ameloblasts as compared to secretory ameloblasts. Upon treatment, the genes coregulated with MMP-20 were downregulated in maturation ameloblasts, though the difference was not significant. Stage specific secretory ameloblasts (SAB) and maturation ameloblasts (MAB) were laser microdissected from mandibular incisors of control and 50 ppm F treated mice.

Project description:Dental epithelial stem cells give rise to all dental epithelial cell types, inner enamel epithelium, outer enamel epithelium, ameloblasts, stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum to form enamel. These all types of epithelial cells have distinct roles and are essential for enamel formation. These cell types are conventionally classified by their cell shape, however, the transcriptome and biological roles of each cell types are not fully understood. Here, we used single-cell RNA-sequencing to clarify the heterogeneity of dental epithelial cell types. Unbiased clustering of 6260 single-cells from post-natal day 7 mouse incisors are classified into 4 dental epithelial and 2 mesenchymal populations; 2 clusters of ameloblast, IEE/OEE and SI/SR clusters. Secretory-stage of ameloblasts were divided into Dspp+ or Ambn+ ameloblast. Pseudo-time analysis indicated that Dspp+ ameloblast differentiate into Ambn+ ameloblast. Further, Dspp and Ambn would be stage-specific markers of ameloblast. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses of each clusters indicate potent roles of cell types; OEE in regulation of tooth size and SR in transport of nutrition. Moreover, we identified novel dental epithelial cell marker genes, Pttg1, Atf3, Cldn10 and Krt15. These results provide a resource of transcriptome data in dental cells and contribute further molecular analyses of enamel formation.

Project description:Cell fate is defined by specific transcriptional program. Here, we provide evidence that the transcriptional coactivator, Mediator 1 (MED1), is critical in determining the cell fate of ectodermal epithelia. MED1 ablation disrupted enamel formation and generated hair adjacent to the incisors. Deletion of MED1 altered the differentiation of dental epithelia to one expressing epidermal and hair genes similar to the skin. The cellular switch from dental to epidermal/hair lineage was characterized by abnormalities in MED1 deficient dental epithelial stem cells residing in cervical loop. MED1 deficiency caused a failure of dental epithelial stem cells to commit to the dental stratum intermedium regulated by Notch signaling. Instead, MED1 deficient cells retained stem cell potentials expressing Sox2. These cells were eventually adopted an epidermal fate probably through calcium provided through capillary networks, which is originally utilized for enamel formation. Our results demonstrate that MED1 regulates Sox2/Notch1 regulated cell lineage determination in dental epithelia. Our study also shows a potential to regenerate hairs by using genetically engineered dental tissues or cells outside of the skin. n=3 WT and KO (each sample contain dissected dental tissues from 3 mice combined)
