Cycling of the two phenotypes involves extensive remodeling of the distal cytoplasm and junctional complexes at both ends of the cells. The Golgi complexes (G) and the lysosomal (L) apparatus are well developed in both cell configurations. Zonula adherens (Za) and zonula occludens (Zo) shift from distal position in the ruffle-ended ameloblasts to a proximal position in the smooth-ended ameloblasts. Mitochondria (M) are located primarily in the distal cytoplasm. Endosomes (E) containing enamel matrix are present both in the ruffle-ended and smooth-ended ameloblasts. The ruffle ended surface primarily supports electrolyte exchange while the smooth ended form is for cell recovery and protein absorption.

Two mutations of the amelogenin gene that cause amelogenesis imperfecta Amelogenin (AMELX) mutations causing X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta How are changes in the AMELX gene related amelogenesis imperfecta? • One copy of the amelogenin gene is located on each of the sex chromosomes (the X and Y chromosomes). The AMELX gene, which is located on the X chromosome, makes almost all of the body's amelogenin. The copy of the amelogenin gene on the Y chromosome, AMELY, makes very little amelogenin and is not needed for enamel formation. • At least 15 mutations in the AMELX gene have been identified in people with X- linked forms of amelogenesis imperfecta. (X-linked disorders are caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome.) Some AMELX mutations lead to the production of an abnormal version of the amelogenin protein that can interfere with the formation and organization of enamel crystals. Other AMELX mutations prevent one copy of the gene from producing any amelogenin protein at all. Enamel cannot form properly without an adequate amount of amelogenin • Males have a single copy of the X chromosome in each cell. Males who inherit a defective copy of the AMELX gene have very little amelogenin and develop almost no enamel to cover and protect their teeth. Females have two copies of the X chromosome in each cell. Females who inherit one altered copy of the AMELX gene are less severely

Bidlack 1,2,* 1 The Forsyth Institute, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA 2 Department of Developmental Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.G.-B.); [email protected] (F.B.B.) Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 20 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Tooth enamel is the outer covering of tooth crowns, the hardest material in the mammalian body, yet fracture resistant. The extremely high content of 95 wt% calcium phosphate in healthy adult teeth is achieved through mineralization of a proteinaceous matrix that changes in abundance and composition. Enamel-specific proteins and proteases are known to be critical for proper enamel formation. Recent proteomics analyses revealed many other proteins with their roles in enamel formation yet to be unraveled. Although the exact protein composition of healthy tooth enamel is still unknown, it is apparent that compromised enamel deviates in amount and composition of its organic material. Why these differences affect both the mineralization process before tooth eruption and the properties of erupted teeth will become apparent as proteomics protocols are adjusted to the variability between species, tooth size, sample size and ephemeral organic content of forming teeth. This review summarizes the current knowledge and published proteomics data of healthy and diseased tooth enamel, including advancements in forensic applications and disease models in animals. A summary and discussion of the status quo highlights how recent proteomics findings advance our understating of the complexity and temporal changes of extracellular matrix composition during tooth enamel formation.

  • Amelogenic Transcriptome Profiling in Ameloblast-Like Cells Derived From
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Amelogenic transcriptome profling in ameloblast-like cells derived from adult gingival epithelial cells Received: 23 May 2018 Sun-Yi Hyun1, Seyoung Mun1,2, Kyung-Jung Kang1, Jong-Chan Lim1, Shin-Young Kim1, Accepted: 29 January 2019 Kyudong Han1,2 & Young-Joo Jang 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Dental enamel is the highly mineralized tissue covering the tooth surface and is formed by ameloblasts. Ameloblasts have been known to be impossible to detect in adult tooth because they are shed by apoptosis during enamel maturation and tooth eruption. Owing to these, little was known about appropriate cell surface markers to isolate ameloblast-like cells in tissues. To overcome these problems, epithelial cells were selectively cultivated from the gingival tissues and used as a stem cell source for ameloblastic diferentiation. When gingival epithelial cells were treated with a specifed concentration of BMP2, BMP4, and TGFβ-1, the expression of ameloblast-specifc markers was increased, and both the MAPK and Smad signaling pathways were activated. Gingival epithelial cells diferentiated into ameloblast-like cells through epithelial-mesenchymal transition. By RNA-Seq analysis, we reported 20 ameloblast-specifc genes associated with cell surface, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix function. These cell surface markers might be useful for the detection and isolation of ameloblast-like cells from dental tissues. Dentin, dental pulp, periodontal ligament, and dental enamel are developed by reciprocal interactions between dental epithelium and ectomesenchyme. Neural crest cell-derived ectomesenchyme diferentiates into odonto- blasts, periodontal ligament progenitors, cementoblasts, as well as various fibroblasts. On the other hand, enamel-forming ameloblasts diferentiate from epithelial cells originating from oral ectoderm.

  • Oral Histology
    Oral Histology Lec-6 Dr. Nada AL.Ghaban Amelogenesis (Enamel formation) Amelogenesis begins at cusp tips and the incisal edges of the E.organ of the tooth germ and then it separated down the cusp slopes until all the cells of inner enamel epithelium(IEE) differentiate into ameloblasts. Amelogenesis begins shortly after dentinogenesis at the advanced or late bell stage. The delicate basement membrane between IEE and odontoblasts will disintegrate after dentinogenesis and before amelogenesis. During the early stages of tooth development, the IEE cells proliferate and contribute to the growth of the developing tooth. Ameloblasts fully differentiate at the growth centers located at cusp tips of the forming crown and this differentiation pattern spreads towards the cervical loop (the future cervical line in a fully formed tooth). However, once the IEE has fully differentiated into ameloblasts there is no more proliferation as these highly differentiated cells do not divide again. Amelogenesis is a complex process, it involves 2 stages which are: 1- E. matrix deposition. 2- Maturation or mineralization of the E. matrix. E. matrix deposition: It means the secretion of the E. matrix by ameloblasts. The freshly secreted E. matrix contain 30% minerals as hydroxy apatite crystals and 70% waters and E. proteins which include 90% amelogenine protein and 10% non-amelogenins protein( enameline and ameloblastin). These E. proteins which are secreted by ameloblasts are responsible for creating and 1 maintaining an extracellular environment favorable to mineral deposition. When the first layer of E. is laid down, the ameloblasts will begins to retreat from DEJ towards E. surface and begins to secrete the next layer of E.

ABSTRACT The AMELX gene provides instructions for making a protein called amelogenin, which is essential for normal tooth development. Amelogenin is involved in the formation of enamel, which is the hard, white material that forms the protective outer layer of each tooth. Using molecular genetic techniques, we have shown that there is no evidence that the AMGX gene is deleted in this case of the Nance-Horan syndrome.

Keywords: Amelogenin, Chromosome, Hormone INTRODUCTION degradation by Proteolytic enzymes like matrix mettaloproteinases into smaller low molecular weight The AMELX gene provides instructions for making a fragments, like tyrosine rich amelogenin protein and protein called amelogenin, which is essential for normal leucine rich amelogenin polypeptide which are suggested tooth development.

According the recent WHO classification of odontogenic tumors published in 2005, AFO belongs to the group of lesions with odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without hard tissue formation [1]. AFO is normally found in young patients, with no significant sex predilection. The incidence of AFO is between 1 and 3% in odontogenic tumors [2,3]. Facial deformity and intraoral lesion with impingement on the left nostril. Clinically, it presents as a painless swelling of the affected area, usually the posterior portion of the Figure 2 maxilla or mandible.
