Disease relevance of Dmp1

 

High impact information on Dmp1

  • Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is an acidic noncollagenous protein expressed during the initial stages of mineralized matrix formation in bone and dentin [2].
  • We envision that the proteolytic processing of DMP1 plays a crucial role during osteogenesis and dentinogenesis [3].
  • Extensive sequencing of tryptic peptides revealed that the 37K fragments originated from the NH2-terminal region, and the 57K fragments were from the COOH-terminal part of DMP1 [3].
  • Some of the genes expressed include the dentin matrix proteins 1, 2, and 3, which are extracellular matrix molecules responsible for the ultimate formation of mineralized dentin [4].
  • It is now known that DMP1 is not unique to dentin but is present in other mineralized tissues like long bone, calvaria, and ameloblasts [5].
 

Biological context of Dmp1

 

Anatomical context of Dmp1

  • These observations indicate that Dmp1 may serve unique biological functions in osteocyte and bone metabolism [6].
  • At embryonic day 15 (E15), type I collagen and osteocalcin mRNAs were expressed by the majority of newly-differentiated osteoblasts attached to unmineralized bone matrices, whereas Dmp1 mRNA expression was confined to only a few osteoblasts [6].
  • In contrast, osteoblasts continued to express type I collagen and osteocalcin in 90-day-old rats, but transiently expressed Dmp1 mRNA, which was seen in the minority of osteoblasts at 14 days of postnatal life [6].
  • Colocalization of dentin matrix protein 1 and dentin sialoprotein at late stages of rat molar development [9].
  • In 5-week- and 8-week-old rats, strong immunoreactions for DMP1 were widely distributed in odontoblasts and predentin [9].
 

Associations of Dmp1 with chemical compounds

  • We have now identified, by cDNA cloning, a new serine-rich acidic protein of the dentin matrix, AG1, with a composition intermediate between the bone acidic proteins and dentin phosphophoryns [8].
  • AG1 contains single RGD integrin binding and N-glycosylation sequences [8].
  • However, the level of DMP1 mRNA expression in root odontoblasts decreased near the coronal part and was absent in coronal odontoblasts [10].
  • These findings imply that type I collagen regulates mRNA level of Dmp-1 and OCN gene that are predominantly expressed in active odontoblasts [11].
  • Soluble proteins extracted from rat incisor dentin matrix during demineralization with EDTA, and not precipitable with 1.0 M CaCl2, were active in the in vitro system [12].
