Associations of Ameloblasts with chemical compounds

  • To determine the efficiency of antisense treatment in this model system, digoxigenin-labeled oligodeoxynucleotides were observed to diffuse throughout the tooth explants including the target ameloblast cells within 24 hours [17].
  • Tetracycline was administered to rats in varying doses in order to study the likelihood of ultrastructural alterations to ameloblasts and to study odontoblasts and dentin as well [18].
  • The parent protein is a 186-kDa glycoprotein that concentrates along the secretory face of the ameloblast Tomes' process [19].
  • Maturing enamel overlaid by either ruffle-ended or smooth-ended maturation ameloblasts showed similar Ca and P concentrations [20].
  • The visualization of the patterns of ameloblast modulation by the glyoxal bis(2-hydroxyanil) staining method [21].
 

Gene context of Ameloblasts

  • The GMp motif in the N-terminal region of the cytokeratin 14 of ameloblasts binds to trityrosyl motif peptide (ATMP) of amelogenin (Ravindranath, R. M. H., Tam, W., Bringas, P., Santos, V., and Fincham, A. G. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 36586 - 36597) [22].
  • Amelogenin interacts with cytokeratin-5 in ameloblasts during enamel growth [22].
  • In early secretory ameloblasts, DSPP expression was transient and down-regulated with the appearance ofdentin matrix [23].
  • In situ hybridization studies showed expression of Dmp1 in odontoblasts with transient expression in secretory ameloblasts [24].
  • Quantitative analyses identified specific modulations of Dlx-2 expression in ameloblasts depending on the anatomical sites of the incisor, showing more specifically an inverse linear relationship between the Dlx-2 promoter activity level and enamel thickness [25].
