The genetic mechanism governing the spatial patterning of teeth still remains to be elucidated. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is one of key signaling molecules involved in the spatial patterning of teeth. By utilizing maternal transfer of 5E1 (an IgG1 monoclonal antibody against Shh protein) through the placenta to block Shh signaling, we investigated the changes in tooth patterning and in gene expression.
Interactions between Shh, Sostdc1 and Wnt signaling and a new feedback loop for spatial patterning of the teeth.

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the gene expression profiles of dental follicle and periodontal ligament in humans, which can possibly explain their functions of dental follicle and PDL such as eruption coordination and stress resorption. That may apply this information to clinical problem like eruption disturbance and to periodontal tissue engineering.

View SamplesHuman deciduous and permanent teeth exhibit different developmental processes, morphologies, histological characteristics and life cycles. In addition their pulp tissues react differently to external stimuli, such as the pulp sensitivity test, dental trauma and pulp therapy materials. These differences are attributable to their genetic backgrounds. Therefore the purpose of this study is to compare the differences of dental pulp in deciduous and permanent teeth.

View SamplesThere are histological and functional differences between human deciduous and permanent pediodontal ligament (PDL) tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences between these two types of tissue at the molecular level by comparative gene expression analysis.
Comparative gene expression analysis of the human periodontal ligament in deciduous and permanent teeth.
Specimen part
View SamplesThe periodontal ligament(PDL) and dental pulp tissues of human permanent teeth have a number of differences in their developmental processes, histological characteristics and functions. It can be figured out that these differences are attributable to genetic backgrounds of their cells organized tissues. The purpose of this study was to identify the gene-expression profiles and their molecular biological differences of periodontal ligament and dental pulp tissues from the human permanent teeth.
