Phosphorylated and Non-phosphorylated Leucine Rich Amelogenin Peptide Differentially Affect Ameloblast Mineralization

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The Leucine Rich Amelogenin Peptide (LRAP) is a product of alternative splicing of the amelogenin gene. As full length amelogenin, LRAP has been shown, in precipitation experiments, to regulate hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystal formation depending on its ...

Correlation of amyloid and ameloblast‐associated proteins to odontogenic cysts and tumors: A cross‐sectional study

Health Science Reports, 2023
Background and Aims Odontogenic cysts and tumors often form hard and soft structures that resemble odontogenesis. It is well known that amyloid is produced in Pindborg tumors; however, it is still debatable whether it is also formed in other odontogenic ...

Mitochondria modulate ameloblast Ca2+ signaling [PDF]

The FASEB Journal, 2022
The role of mitochondria in enamel, the most mineralized tissue in the body, is poorly defined. Enamel is formed by ameloblast cells in two main sequential stages known as secretory and maturation.

Small molecules direct the generation of ameloblast-like cells from human embryonic stem cells [PDF]

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Background Ameloblasts present a promising avenue for the investigation of enamel and tooth regeneration. Previous protocols for directing the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into dental epithelial (DE) cells involving the need for ...

On the pattern of ameloblast migration

Cell Proliferation, 1989
Abstract The kinetics of ameloblast cells in continuously growing guinea pig molars were studied using autoradiography. The results showed that there was no direct relationship between ameloblast migration rate and ameloblast production rate, which indicated that ameloblasts actively migrated coronally.

Mobility gene expression differences among wild-type, Mmp20 null and Mmp20 over-expresser mice plus visualization of 3D mouse ameloblast directional movement

Scientific Reports, 2023
Enamel forming ameloblasts move away from the dentino-enamel junction and also move relative to each other to establish enamel shape during the secretory stage of enamel development.

Adenovirus gene transfer to amelogenesis imperfecta ameloblast-like cells.

PLoS ONE, 2011
To explore gene therapy strategies for amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a human ameloblast-like cell population was established from third molars of an AI-affected patient.

Enamelin Is Critical for Ameloblast Integrity and Enamel Ultrastructure Formation [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mutations in the human enamelin gene cause autosomal dominant hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta in which the affected enamel is thin or absent. Study of enamelin knockout NLS-lacZ knockin mice revealed that mineralization along the distal membrane of ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid-induced cell death via the dual roles of ROS-MAPK/ERK signaling in ameloblast-lineage cells

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an artificial fluorinated organic compound that has generated increased public attention due to its potential health hazards. Unsafe levels of PFOA exposure can affect reproduction, growth and development.
