Project description:Background: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification critical to the regulation of gene expression during development. To date, little is known about the role of DNA methylation in tooth development in large animal models. Thus, we carried out a comparative genomic analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in E50 and E60 tooth germ from miniature pigs using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing (MeDIP-seq).Results: We observed different DNA methylation patterns during the different developmental stages of pig tooth germ. A total of 2,469 differentially methylated genes were identified. Functional analysis identified several signaling pathways and 104 genes that may be potential key regulators of pig tooth development from E50 to E60.Conclusions: The present study provided a comprehensive analysis of the global DNA methylation pattern of tooth germ in miniature pigs and identified candidate genes that potentially regulate tooth development from E50 to E60.
Project description:The miRNAs expression profile of three different types of teeth include deciduous incisor (QY), deciduous canine (JY) , deciduous premolar (QMY) ,and deciduous molar (MY) in three typical stages of tooth development embryonic day 40 , 50, and 60, which cover the major morphological and physiological changes in pig tooth germ growth and development throughout pregnancy including the bud, cap, and bell stages.
Project description:The miRNAs expression profile of four typical stages of tooth development, embryonic day 35 (E35), E45, E50, and E60, which cover the major morphological and physiological changes in pig tooth germ growth and development throughout pregnancy, including the bud, cap, early bell, and late bell stages.
Project description:miRNAs are not well known their expression and function in tooth development. To identify the miRNAs expression during tooth development, tooth germs were dissected from the initiation bud, cap and bell stages.

Project description:Throughout the various stages of tooth development, reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions are the driving force, for instance crucially involved in the differentiation of mature enamel-forming ameloblasts and dentin-producing odontoblasts. Here we established mouse tooth ‘assembloids’, comprised of tooth organoid-derived dental epithelial cells (from mouse molars and incisors) cultured together with molar dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), to mimic these developmental interactions. Assembloids from both tooth types were grown both in basal- and differentiation-inducing conditions. Single cell transcriptomics analysis was applied to in detail characterize and validate the newly developed mouse tooth assembloid model and evaluate the induced differentiation processes.
Project description:miRNAs are not well known their expression and function in tooth development. To identify the miRNAs expression during tooth development, tooth germs were dissected from the initiation bud, cap and bell stages. miRNA-chip expression analysis was performed with RNAs of the molar tooth germs from embryos of pregnant mice at emrbryonic day 11, 12, 14, and 16, using Agilent's miRNA microarray.
Project description:We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile Wnt signaling genes in maxillary and mandibular tooth organs from E15.5 and P1 stages
Project description:Goal of experiment: Identify genes down-regulated between pre- and post-natal stages in mouse dental papillae. Epithelial-mesenchymal interaction is very important during tooth development, and many genes are associated with odontogenesis. The capacity for odontogenesis in mouse dental papillae disappears between the pre- and post-natal stages. We hypothesized that genes involved in odontogenesis were down-regulated in dental papillae between these stages. To test this hypothesis, we investigated and compared gene profiles in pre- and post-natal stage dental papillae with the GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.
