| Popis: | Tooth induction by xenogenic graft of reconstructed human tooth germ components has never been attempted. Here we report our first attempt at a transplantation of human tooth germ components, heterologously recombined with mouse dental epithelia, into immunocompromised animals. Human third molar tooth germs enucleated from young patients as prophylactic treatment for orthodontic reasons were collected. The whole or minced human dental papilla was reconstructed with human- or mouse molar enamel epithelium, and transplanted in the dorsal aspect of C.B-17/Icr-scid Jcl mice. The transplant of human dental papilla reconstructed with human enamel epithelium formed thin dentin and immature enamel layers by 3 to 4 weeks, but remained extremely small in quantity due to a shortage of epithelial components in the graft. The addition of E16 mouse molar enamel organs (n=10-12) to each graft augmented the formation of tooth germ-like structures, but the differentiation of mouse molar ameloblasts was suppressed. However, once a solid layer of mineralized dentin was established, mouse ameloblasts accelerated their differentiation, and completed the enamel matrix formation and maturation within the following 4 weeks, whereas human ameloblasts, which had interacted with human dental papilla, remained in the stage of matrix formation during the same period. These data imply that, in reconstructed transplants, the differentiation of mouse dental epithelia is restrained by putative suppressive factors derived from human dental papilla until they are separated by mineralized dentin layers that serve as a diffusion barrier. The mouse enamel organ nevertheless retains its own phenotypic characteristics and intrinsic timing of cell differentiation and function. |
