| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By using Cre-LoxP mediated transgenic mice that have NC- or mesoderm-specific Cre expression and Cre-activated YFP reporter and Diphtheria Toxin (DT) Receptor, NC- or mesoderm-derived cells were depleted by the administration of DT. The consequence of DT-mediated depletion of these cells on B and T lymphopoiesis was examined by flowcytometry. Severe reduction of the number of B and T cell progenitors in the BM and thymus was observed by the depletion. As NC cells contributed to sympathetic neurons, to investigate the affect of sympathetic neurons in DT-administrated mice, concentrations of catechoramin were measured in plasma, and those of noradrenalin and adrenalin were significantly reduced. These results suggest that NC-derived mesenchyme and sympathetic neurons are involved in B and T lymphopoiesis. Although dental mesenchyme supported B lymphopoiesis and osteoclastogenesis as well as bone marrow, embryonic tooth mesenchyme had little hematopoietic supporting capacity.
