Research Abstract

Detection and expression of enamel proteins were explored on the tissue sample prepared from the apical portion of forming root (APFR) in porcine permanent incisor tooth germs. It was confirmed according to a histochemical method that the sample contained predentin, dentin and thin cement as extracellular matrices, and also contained a lot of cells as odontoblasts, dental papilla cells, cementoblasts, follicular cells, and fragmentized HERS cells. When a guanidine solution was employed for the extraction, it contained a lot of histons, which were croos-reacted with anti-enamel proteins sera. The employment of acetic acid solution was reasonable for the immunoblot studies, since the extractant contained small amount of histons.
Amelogenin, enamelin and sheathlin were detected by immunoblot analyses, but in a small amounts. The expressions of enamel proteins were also proved in the APFR sample with PCR amplification products of their cDNAs, and may be related to the cells of fragmentized Hertwig's epithelial root sheath. The amelogenin was not expressed superior to the enamelin and sheathlin. It was different from the expression pattern of the secretary ameloblasts involved to the enamel matrix formation. These results suggest that the amelogenins found in the APFR do not form the three-dimensional structure constructed by amelogenin micelles, which is proposed on the secretary enamel matrix structure. The immunochemical detections of enamel proteins' derivatives showed the occurrences of their degradation. It is at present unclear about the proteinases related to these degradations, since the activities of enamel matrix serine proteinase 1 and enamelysin were not detected on gelatin and casein zymograms. therefore, the enamel proteins spread easily out with degradation into the matrix of future cementum. Some of their derivatives may play a role in cementum formation.
