CPNE7-Induced Autophagy Restores the Physiological Function of Mature Odontoblasts

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Dentin, which composes most of the tooth structure, is formed by odontoblasts, long-lived post-mitotic cells maintained throughout the entire life of the tooth. In mature odontoblasts, however, cellular activity is significantly weakened.

Odontoblasts in Equine Hypsodont Teeth—How They Cope with Permanent Occlusal Wear [PDF]

Animals
Horses’ hypsodont (high-crowned) teeth face permanent dental wear. This is compensated for by a continuous eruption, which requires a high adaptability of odontoblasts; otherwise, the dental pulp would be exposed.

Plasma Membrane Ca²⁺–ATPase in Rat and Human Odontoblasts Mediates Dentin Mineralization [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2021
Intracellular Ca2+ signaling engendered by Ca2+ influx and mobilization in odontoblasts is critical for dentinogenesis induced by multiple stimuli at the dentin surface.

Human Atlas of Tooth Decay Progression: Identification of Cellular Mechanisms Driving the Switch from Dental Pulp Repair Toward Irreversible Pulpitis [PDF]

Advanced Science
Dental pulp responses to dental decay, the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide, involve remodeling processes comparable to those observed in other human diseases.

Role of the Demethylase AlkB Homolog H5 in the Promotion of Dentinogenesis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Dentinogenesis is a key process in tooth formation and is regulated by a series of pre- and post-transcriptional regulations. N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A), which is the most prevalent internal chemical modification that can be removed by the RNA demethylase

Deficiency of Mineralization-Regulating Transcription Factor Trps1 Compromises Quality of Dental Tissues and Increases Susceptibility to Dental Caries

Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2022
Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in children and adults worldwide. The complex etiology of dental caries includes environmental factors as well as host genetics, which together contribute to inter-individual variation in susceptibility ...

circKLF4 Upregulates Klf4 and Endoglin to Promote Odontoblastic Differentiation of Mouse Dental Papilla Cells via Sponging miRNA-1895 and miRNA-5046

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
circular RNAs (circRNAs) is a broad and diverse endogenous subfamily of non-coding RNAs, regulating the gene expression by acting as a microRNA (miRNA) sponge.

Mechanical Stimulation-Induced Calcium Signaling by Piezo1 Channel Activation in Human Odontoblast Reduces Dentin Mineralization

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Odontoblasts play critical roles in dentin formation and sensory transduction following stimuli on the dentin surface. Exogenous stimuli to the dentin surface elicit dentinal sensitivity through the movement of fluids in dentinal tubules, resulting in ...

Pathological dentinogenesis in posteruptiv toot development [PDF]

Stomatološki glasnik Srbije, 2004
The most significant investigations concerning pathological dentinogenesis are reviewed in this article. Previous results point out that odontoblasts behave, either in physiological or pathological circumstances, in the genetically determined sequence of

Functional Expression of IP, 5-HT₄, D₁, A_2A, and VIP Receptors in Human Odontoblast Cell Line

Biomolecules, 2023
Odontoblasts are involved in sensory generation as sensory receptor cells and in dentin formation. We previously reported that an increase in intracellular cAMP levels by cannabinoid 1 receptor activation induces Ca2+ influx via transient receptor ...
