Microarray analysis identified the odontogenesis-related genes influenced by inorganic phosphate(Pi) overload. Among the genes identified by microarray analysis, fibromodulin was downregulated in an extracellular Pi level-dependent manner in both cultured tooth germs and differentiated ameloblast lineage cells. This suppression of fibromodulin gene was dependent on ERK1/ 2-Egr1 signaling pathway in differentiated ameloblast lineage cells. These data suggest that the fibromodulin may be involved in the etiology of enamel hypoplasia caused by hyperphosphatemia.
