| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the relationship between the phenotype shown in the homozygous Sez12 knockout mice (Sez12-KO mice) and distribution of the knockin eGFP expression. We demonstrate that the Sez12 plays an important role in skeletal growth, such as cranial neural crest development during embryogenesis and endochondral ossification after birth. Furthermore, the Sez12 upregulation affected cell survival under a condition such as serum depletion. These findings suggest that the Sez12 is responsible for cell differentiation and maintenanceof the differentiating cells, which cause skeletal abnormalities in mice including craniofacial malformation.We analyzed the neuropathic pain and psychological outcome of patients following oral surgery.
