Abstract
The coordination between odontoblastic differentiation and directed cell migration of mesenchymal progenitors is necessary for regular dentin formation. The synthesis and degradation of hyaluronan (HA) in the extracellular matrix create a permissive niche that directly regulates cell behaviors. However, the role and mechanisms of HA degradation in dentin formation remain unknown. In this work, we present that HA digestion promotes odontoblastic differentiation and cell migration of mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs). Hyaluronidase 2 (HYAL2) is responsible for promoting odontoblastic differentiation through degrading HA, while hyaluronidase 1 (HYAL1) exhibits negligible effect. Silencing Hyal2 generates an extracellular environment rich in HA, which attenuates F-actin and filopodium formation and in turn inhibits cell migration of mDPCs. In addition, activating PI3K/Akt signaling significantly rescues the effects of HA accumulation on cytodifferentiation. Taken together, the results confirm the contribution of HYAL2 to HA degradation in dentinogenesis and uncover the mechanism of the HYAL2-mediated HA degradation in regulating the odontoblastic differentiation and migration of mDPCs.

A seminal perspective on the role of chondroitin sulfate in biomineralization. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 310:120738. [PMID: 36925258 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is an important extracellular matrix component of mineralized tissues. It participates in biomineralization, osteoblast differentiation and promotes bone tissue repair in vitro. However, the mechanism in which CS functions is unclear. Accordingly, an in-depth investigation of how CS participates in mineralization was conducted in the present study. Chondroitin sulfate was found to directly induce intrafibrillar mineralization of the collagen matrix. The mineralization outcome was dependent on whether CS remained free in the extracellular matrix or bound to core proteins; mineralization only occurred when CS existed in a free state. The efficacy of mineralization appeared to increase with ascending CS concentration. This discovery spurred the authors to identify the cause of heterotopic ossification in the Achilles tendon. Chondroitin sulfate appeared to be a therapeutic target for the management of diseases associated with heterotopic calcification. A broader perspective was presented on the applications of CS in tissue engineering.

Dent Mater 2020; 36:e302-e308. [PMID: 32811665 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2020.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the role of proteoglycans (PGs) on the physical properties of the dentin matrix and the bond strength of methacrylate resins with varying hydrophilicities. METHODS Dentin were obtained from crowns of human molars. Enzymatic removal of PGs followed a standard protocol using 1 mg/mL trypsin (Try) for 24 h. Controls were incubated in ammonium bicarbonate buffer. Removal of PGs was assessed by visualization of glycosaminoglycan chains (GAGs) in dentin under transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dentin matrix swelling ratio was estimated using fully demineralized dentin. Dentin wettability was assessed on wet, dry and re-wetted dentin surfaces through water contact angle measurements. Microtensile bond strength test (TBS) was performed with experimental adhesives containing 6% HEMA (H6) and 18% HEMA (H18) and a commercial dental adhesive. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS The enzymatic removal of PGs was confirmed by the absence and fragmentation of GAGs. There was statistically significant difference between the swelling ratio of Try-treated and control dentin (p < 0.001). Significantly lower contact angle was found for Try-treated on wet and dry dentin (p < 0.002). The contact angle on re-wet dentin was not recovered in Try-treated group (p = 0.9). Removal of PGs significantly improved the TBS of H6 (109% higher, p < 0.001) and H18 (29% higher, p = 0.002) when compared to control. The TBS of commercial adhesive was not affected by trypsin treatment (p = 0.9). SIGNIFICANCE Changing the surface energy of dentin by PGs removal improved resin adhesion, likely due to more efficient water displacement, aiding to improved resin infiltration and polymerization.

Abstract
Mammalian teeth are attached to the jawbone through an exquisitely controlled mineralization process: unmineralized collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament anchor directly into the outer layer of adjoining mineralized tissues (cementum and bone). The sharp interface between mineralized and nonmineralized collagenous tissues makes this an excellent model to study the mechanisms by which extracellular matrix macromolecules control collagen mineralization. While acidic phosphoproteins, localized in the mineralized tissues, play key roles in control of mineralization, the role of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is less clear. As several proteoglycans are found only in the periodontal ligament, it has been hypothesized that these inhibit mineralization of collagen in this tissue. Here we used an in vitro model based on remineralization of mouse dental tissues to determine the role of matrix GAGs in control of mineralization. GAGs were selectively removed from demineralized mouse periodontal sections via enzymatic digestion. Proteomic analysis confirmed that enzymatic GAG removal does not significantly alter protein content. Analysis of remineralized tissue sections by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that GAG removal reduced the rate of remineralization in mineralized tissues compared to the untreated control, while the ligament remained unmineralized. Protein removal with trypsin also reduced the rate of mineralization, but to a lesser extent than GAG removal, despite a much larger effect on protein content. These results indicate that GAGs promote mineralization in mineralized dental tissues rather than inhibiting mineral formation in the ligament, which may have broader implications for understanding control of collagen mineralization in connective tissues.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix can trigger cellular responses through its composition and structure. Major extracellular matrix components are the proteoglycans, which are composed of a core protein associated with glycosaminoglycans, among which the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are the largest family. This review highlights how the codon usage pattern can be used to modulate cellular response and discusses the biological impact of post-translational events on SLRPs, including the substitution of glycosaminoglycan moieties, glycosylation, and degradation. These modifications are listed, and their impacts on the biological activities and structural properties of SLRPs are described. We narrowed the topic to skeletal tissues undergoing dynamic remodeling.

Abstract
Versican is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan enriched in the extracellular matrix, and it has at least four different isoforms, termed V0, V1, V2, and V3. Although several studies have demonstrated that versican is stably expressed in various developing organs, the expression of versican isoforms during tooth development has not been elucidated yet. Therefore, the present study was to investigate the expression of versican isoforms in the developing mouse molars. The mandibular first molars from embryonic day (E) 11.5 to postnatal day (PN) 21 were used to investigate the expression of versican isoforms by immunohistochemistry, and the gene expressions of versican (Vcan) isoforms from E13.5 to PN7 were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. The results exhibited different expressing patterns of versican isoforms-the stellate reticulum (SR) and the dental mesenchymal cells adjacent to Hertwig's Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS) only expressed V1 and the mature odontoblasts mainly expressed V2, while the dental papilla and the ameloblasts might both express V0/V1/V2. These results suggested that different versican isoforms may act different roles in the tooth development, and we speculated that V0/V1 might be intimately involved in the cell proliferation while V2 was associated in the cytodifferentiation.

Abstract
Proteoglycans are biomacromolecules with significant biomineralization and structural roles in the dentin extracellular matrix. This study comprehensively assessed the mechanical properties and morphology of the dentin extracellular matrix following chemical removal of proteoglycans to elucidate the structural roles of proteoglycans in dentin. Dentin extracellular matrix was prepared from extracted teeth after complete tissue demineralization. Chemical removal of proteoglycans was carried-out using guanidine hydrochloride for up to 10 days. The removal of proteoglycans was determined by dimethylmethylene blue colorimetric assay and histological staining analyses using transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy. The modulus of elasticity of dentin matrix was determined by a 3-point bending test method. Partial removal of proteoglycans induced significant modifications to the dentin matrix, particularly to type I collagen. Removal of proteoglycans significantly decreased the modulus of elasticity of dentin extracellular matrix (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the subtle disruption of proteoglycans induces pronounced changes to the collagen network packing and the bulk modulus of elasticity of dentin matrix.

Abstract
Background Extracellular matrix secretion and odontoblastic differentiation in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are the cellular bases for reparative dentinogenesis. Osteomodulin (OMD) is a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family distributed in the extracellular matrix but little is known about its role in osteo/odontogenic differentiation. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of OMD during osteo/odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs. Methods hDPSCs were selected using immune-magnetic beads and their capability of multi-differentiation was identified. OMD knockdown was achieved using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) lentivirus and was confirmed by western blot. Gene expression was measured by real-time qPCR and osteo/odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs was determined by alizarin red S staining. Results Compared with uninduced cells, the transcription of OMD was up-regulated by 35-fold at the late stage of osteo/odontogenic differentiation. shRNA-mediated gene silencing of OMD decreased the expression of odontoblastic genes, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 (DMP1) and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP). Besides, knockdown of OMD attenuated the mineralized nodules formation induced by osteo/odontogenic medium. Conclusions These results implied that OMD may play a pivotal role in modulating the osteo/odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Proteoglycans (PGs) are multifunctional biomacromolecules of the extracellular matrix of collagen-based tissues. In teeth, besides a pivotal regulatory role on dentin biomineralization, PGs provide mechanical support to the mineralized tissue and compressive strength to the biosystem. This study assessed enzymatic protocols for selective PGs removal from demineralized dentin to determine the roles of these biomacromolecules in the bulk mechanical properties and biostability of type I collagen. METHODS Selective removal of glycosaminoglycans chains (GAGs) and PGs from demineralized dentin was carried out by enzymatic digestion protocols using chondroitinase ABC (c-ABC) and trypsin (Try). A comprehensive study design included assessment of dentin matrix mass loss, biodegradability of the PGs/GAGs-depleted dentin matrix, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and energy to fracture tests. Quantitative data was statistically analyzed by two-way and one-way ANOVA followed by the appropriate post hoc tests (α=0.05). RESULTS Transmission electron microscopy images show effective GAGs removal by c-ABC and Try and both enzymatic methods released statistically similar amounts of GAGs from the demineralized dentin. Try digestion resulted in about 25% dentin matrix mass loss and increased susceptibility to collagenolytic digestion when compared to c-ABC (p=0.0224) and control (p=0.0901). Moreover, PGs digestion by Try decreased the tensile strengths of dentin. Statistically lower energy to fracture was observed in c-ABC-treated dentin matrix. CONCLUSIONS GAGs plays a pivotal role on tissue mechanics and anisotropy, while the core protein of PGs have a protective role on matrix biostability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knowledge of the structural organization and mechanical properties of dentin has expanded considerably during the past two decades, especially on a nanometer scale. In this paper, we review the recent literature on the nanostructural and nanomechanical properties of dentin, with special emphasis in its hierarchical organization. METHODS We give particular attention to the recent literature concerning the structural and mechanical influence of collagen intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineral in healthy and remineralized tissues. The multilevel hierarchical structure of collagen, and the participation of non-collagenous proteins and proteoglycans in healthy and diseased dentin are also discussed. Furthermore, we provide a forward-looking perspective of emerging topics in biomaterials sciences, such as bioinspired materials design and fabrication, 3D bioprinting and microfabrication, and briefly discuss recent developments on the emerging field of organs-on-a-chip. RESULTS The existing literature suggests that both the inorganic and organic nanostructural components of the dentin matrix play a critical role in various mechanisms that influence tissue properties. SIGNIFICANCE An in-depth understanding of such nanostructural and nanomechanical mechanisms can have a direct impact in our ability to evaluate and predict the efficacy of dental materials. This knowledge will pave the way for the development of improved dental materials and treatment strategies. CONCLUSIONS Development of future dental materials should take into consideration the intricate hierarchical organization of dentin, and pay particular attention to their complex interaction with the dentin matrix on a nanometer scale.

METHODOLOGY Collagenase I, collagenase I/hyaluronidase mixture and hyaluronidase were used to extract mature human odontoblasts from the pulp chamber. Detachment of odontoblasts from dentine was determined with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and to analyse the significance of differences in tubular diameter, and the t-test was used. MTT-reaction was used to analyse cell viability, and nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney post hoc tests were used to analyse the data. Immunofluorescent staining of dentine sialoprotein (DSP), aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP-20) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) of dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) were used to confirm the odontoblastic nature of the cells. RESULTS MTT-reaction and FESEM demonstrated collagenase I/hyaluronidase resulted in more effective detachment and higher viability than collagenase I alone. Hyaluronidase alone was not able to detach odontoblasts. Immunofluorescence revealed the typical odontoblastic-morphology with one process, and DSP, AQP4 and MMP-20 were detected. Quantitative PCR of DSPP confirmed that the isolated cells expressed this odontoblast-specific gene. CONCLUSION The isolation of viable human odontoblasts was successful. The cells demonstrated morphology typical for odontoblasts and expressed characteristic odontoblast-type genes and proteins. This method will enable new approaches, such as apoptosis analysis, for studies using fully differentiated odontoblasts.

Elucidating the cellular actions of demineralised dentine matrix extract on a clonal dental pulp stem cell population in orchestrating dental tissue repair. J Tissue Eng 2015; 6:2041731415586318.

Abstract
Bioactive growth factors identified within the extracellular matrix of dentine have been proposed roles in regulating the naturally inherent regenerative dentine formation seen in teeth in response to trauma and infection, which may also be harnessed for novel clinical treatments in augmenting mineralised tissue repair. This study examined the specific biological action of demineralised dentine matrix extract on a clonal population of dental pulp stem cells in stimulating the prerequisite stages of wound healing associated with mineralised tissue repair. A clonal dental pulp stem cell population with sustained proliferative capacity and multi-potentiality towards osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic lineages was isolated from the pulp of human third molars. Dentine was collected from human healthy teeth, powdered and treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to obtain a solubilised DDM protein extract. The influence of DDM on the DPSC clonal population was assessed in vitro. Exposure of cells to proteolytically degraded DDM or unsupplemented media served as controls. Compared to controls, DDM stimulated cell expansion, reduced apoptotic marker caspase 3, increased cell survival marker Akt1 and enhanced mineralised matrix deposition as determined by mineral deposition and increased expression of bone-related markers, alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin. Dental pulp stem cells successfully migrated into collagen gels supplemented with demineralised dentine matrix, with cells remaining viable and expanding in numbers over a 3-day period. Collectively, the results provide evidence that soluble proteins extracted from dentine matrix are able to exert a direct biological effect on dental pulp stem cells in promoting mineralised tissue repair mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The biomodification of dentin is a biomimetic approach, mediated by bioactive agents, to enhance and reinforce the dentin by locally altering the biochemistry and biomechanical properties. This review provides an overview of key dentin matrix components, targeting effects of biomodification strategies, the chemistry of renewable natural sources, and current research on their potential clinical applications. METHODS The PubMed database and collected literature were used as a resource for peer-reviewed articles to highlight the topics of dentin hierarchical structure, biomodification agents, and laboratorial investigations of their clinical applications. In addition, new data is presented on laboratorial methods for the standardization of proanthocyanidin-rich preparations as a renewable source of plant-derived biomodification agents. RESULTS Biomodification agents can be categorized as physical methods and chemical agents. Synthetic and naturally occurring chemical strategies present distinctive mechanism of interaction with the tissue. Initially thought to be driven only by inter- or intra-molecular collagen induced non-enzymatic cross-linking, multiple interactions with other dentin components are fundamental for the long-term biomechanics and biostability of the tissue. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins show promising bioactivity, and their chemical complexity requires systematic evaluation of the active compounds to produce a fully standardized intervention material from renewable resource, prior to their detailed clinical evaluation. SIGNIFICANCE Understanding the hierarchical structure of dentin and the targeting effect of the bioactive compounds will establish their use in both dentin-biomaterials interface and caries management.

Abstract
Endochondral bone formation involves the dynamic interplay between the cells and their extracellular environment to facilitate the deposition of a calcified matrix. Numerous molecules are involved within this process, including collagens and non-collagenous proteins, and their post-translational modifications have been shown to effect their biomolecular interactions. Osteoadherin (OSAD), a keratin sulfate (KS)-substituted small leucine-rich proteoglycan has been isolated from mineralized tissues and is considered to be a mineralized tissue-specific protein. However, to date, information is limited concerning the dynamic expression and role of this proteoglycan during bone formation and the biomineralization process. The current study aimed to examine the dynamic expression of this protein throughout mouse metatarsal long bone development, from the cartilage anlagen (E15) to the fully formed bone (Adult). Using quantitative gene expression analysis we observed that OSAD was produced with the onset of mineralization and the formation of the ossification center. This finding was reflected in the localization studies, using both light and electron microscopy, and showed that initial OSAD localization was restricted to the endosteal surfaces of the diaphysis and forming metaphysis. Furthermore, we analyzed protein extracts, both mineral and non-mineral associated fractions, and showed that OSAD was substituted with varying patterns of glycosylation during bone development. Sequential enzymatic digestions of the non-mineral bound protein extracts demonstrated that OSAD lacked any KS chains throughout all development stages. Whereas, in the mineral bound fractions, with long bone maturation the substitution with KS became more apparent with development. Therefore, it can be concluded that different pools of OSAD are produced during endochondral bone formation and these may have specific roles in directing the mineralization process.

Hereditary dentine diseases resulting from mutations in DSPP gene. J Dent 2012; 40:542-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review groups the newest results of molecular analyses of DSPP gene for patients diagnosed either with dentinogenesis imperfecta type II/III or dentine dysplasia and tries to link the phenotypes with specific mutations in the DSPP gene. DATA The review includes biochemical data introducing a specificity of DSPP protein which justifies it as a critical factor for dentine mineralization and maturation. The majority of the review analyzes mutations in the DSPP gene which result in phenotypes of dentinogenesis imperfecta types II or/and III or dentine dysplasia. SOURCES An electronic search was conducted in the databases of Pub Med and supplemented by manual study of relevant references. STUDY SELECTION 52 out of 108 references were finally selected for the review based on the novelty and/or originality of data. CONCLUSION Hereditary dentine disorders dentinogenesis imperfecta type II/III and dentine dysplasia are currently proposed to be one disease with distinct clinical manifestations reflecting various mutations in the same DSPP gene. For years both disorders were linked exclusively to mutations in the DSP code but a growing number of papers describe mutations which manifest a similar phenotype but are localized in the strongly repetitive sequence of the 3' terminus of the DSPP which codes DPP protein. Our search suggests that the localization of mutation in the sequence of the DSPP gene might result in a different phenotype due to the diverse cellular fate of the mutated protein. Thus comprehensive research on the cellular fate and processing of both normal and mutated DSPP is still required.

Abstract
Background Proteoglycans (PG) are known to be involved in the organization and assembly of the extracellular matrix (ECM) prior to mineral deposition. Osteoadherin (OSAD), a keratan sulphate PG is a member of the small leucine-rich (SLRP) family of PGs and unlike other SLRPs, OSAD expression is restricted to mineralized tissues. It is proposed to have a high affinity for hydroxyapatite and has been shown to be expressed by mature osteoblasts but its exact role remains to be elucidated. Methodology/Principal Findings We investigated the protein distribution of OSAD in the developing mouse tooth using immunohistochemistry and compared its expression with other SLRPs, biglycan (BGN), decorin (DCN) and fibromodulin (FMD). OSAD was found to be specifically localized in the predentin layer of the tooth and focused at the mineralization front. These studies were confirmed at the ultrastructural level using electron microscopy (iEM), where the distribution of immunogold labeled OSAD particles were quantified and significant amounts were found in the predentin, forming a gradient towards the mineralization front. In addition, iEM results revealed OSAD to lie in close association with collagen fibers, further suggesting an important role for OSAD in the organization of the ECM. The expression profile of mineralization-related SLRP genes by rat dental pulp cells exposed to mineralization inducing factors, showed an increase in all SLRP genes. Indeed, OSAD expression was significantly increased during the mineralization process, specifically following, matrix maturation, and finally mineral deposition. Alizarin Red S staining for calcium deposition showed clear bone-like nodules, which support matrix maturation and mineralization. Conclusions These studies provide new evidence for the role of OSAD in the mineralization process and its specific localization in the predentin layer accumulating at the mineralization front highlighting its role in tooth development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that host matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) present in dentin may be involved in caries progression, however, its response to caries is not known. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) has been implicated in dentin mineralization and MMP-2 modulation. OBJECTIVE To identify and compare the distribution of MMP-2 and BSP in healthy human coronal dentin and those with early caries. METHODS Freshly extracted 3rd molars and premolars with and without early caries were fixed, demineralized and subjected to immunohistochemistry using a monoclonal anti-MMP-2 antibody and monoclonal anti-BSP antibody with an avidin-biotin complex method. Immunoreactivity was visualized with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine substrate and observed under light microscopy. RESULTS Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that MMP-2 and BSP are not detected in the tubule lumens of healthy dentin. However, intense immunoreactivity for MMP-2 and BSP was detected in association with the full length of the caries-affected dentinal tubules. The MMP-2 and BSP at the dentino-enamel junction appeared unaltered. CONCLUSION The results indicate that MMP-2 and BSP may be actively secreted by odontoblasts in response to carious insult. MMP-2 and BSP accumulation in the caries-affected dentinal tubules may indicate their potential involvement in the host defense mechanism which results in calcification of regions affected by the carious process.

Abstract
Biomodification of existing hard tissue structures, specifically tooth dentin, is an innovative approach proposed to improve the biomechanical and biochemical properties of tissue for potential preventive or reparative therapies. The objectives of the study were to systematically characterize dentin matrices biomodified by proanthocyanidin-rich grape seed extract (GSE) and glutaraldehyde (GD). Changes to the biochemistry and biomechanical properties were assessed by several assays to investigate the degree of interaction, biodegradation rates, proteoglycan interaction, and effect of collagen fibril orientation and environmental conditions on the tensile properties. The highest degree of agent-dentin interaction was observed with GSE, which exhibited the highest denaturation temperature, regardless of the agent concentration. Biodegradation rates decreased remarkably following biomodification of dentin matrices after 24h collagenase digestion. A significant decrease in the proteoglycan content of GSE-treated samples was observed using a micro-assay for glycosaminoglycans and histological electron microscopy, while no changes were observed for GD and the control. The tensile strength properties of GD-biomodified dentin matrices were affected by dentin tubule orientation, most likely due to the orientation of the collagen fibrils. Higher and/or increased stability of the tensile properties of GD- and GSE-treated samples were observed following exposure to collagenase and 8 months water storage. Biomodification of dentin matrices using chemical agents not only affects the collagen biochemistry, but also involves interaction with proteoglycans. Tissue biomodifiers interact differently with dentin matrices and may provide the tissue with enhanced preventive and restorative/reparative abilities.

Abstract
We review firstly the specificities of the different types of dentin present in mammalian teeth. The outer layers include the mantle dentin, the Tomes' granular and the hyaline Hopewell-Smith's layers. Circumpulpal dentin forming the bulk of the tooth, comprises intertubular and peritubular dentin. In addition to physiological primary and secondary dentin formation, reactionary dentin is produced in response to pathological events. Secondly, we evaluate the role of odontoblasts in dentin formation, their implication in the synthesis and secretion of type I collagen fibrils and non-collagenous molecules. Thirdly, we study the composition and functions of dentin extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules implicated in dentinogenesis. As structural proteins they are mineralization promoters or inhibitors. They are also signaling molecules. Three different forms of dentinogenesis are identified: i) matrix vesicles are implicated in early dentin formation, ii) collagen and some proteoglycans are involved in the formation of predentin, further transformed into intertubular dentin, iii) the distal secretion of some non-collagenous ECM molecules and some serum proteins contribute to the formation of peritubular dentin.

Abstract
Glucuronic acid (GlcA) and phosphoserine (pS) carrying acidic functional groups were used as model molecules for glycosaminoglycans and phosphoproteins, respectively to mimic effects of native biomolecules and influence the mineralization behaviour of collagen I. Collagen substrates modified with GlcA showed a stable interaction between GlcA and collagen fibrils. Substrates were mineralized using the electrochemically assisted deposition (ECAD) in a Ca(2+)/H( x )PO (4) ((3-x)) electrolyte at physiological pH and temperature. During mineralization of collagen-GlcA matrices, crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) formed earlier with increasing GlcA content of the collagen matrix, while the addition of pS to the electrolyte succeeded in inhibiting the transformation of preformed amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to HA. The lower density of the resulting mineralization and the coalesced aggregates formed at a certain pS concentration suggest an interaction between calcium and the phosphate groups of pS involving the formation of complexes. Combining GlcA-modified collagen and pS-modified electrolyte showed dose-dependent cooperative effects.

Abstract
Aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of versican proteoglycan within the human dentine organic matrix by means of a correlative immunohistochemical analysis with field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope (FEI-SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), fluorescence microscope (FM) and biochemical assay. Specimens containing dentine and predentine were obtained from non carious human teeth and divided in three groups: 1) FEI-SEM group: sections were exposed to a pre-embedding immunohistochemical procedure; 2) TEM group: specimens were fixed, demineralised, embedded and submitted to a post-embedding immunohistochemical procedure; 3) FM group: sections mineralised and submitted to a pre-embedding immunohistochemical procedure with fluorescence labelling. Specimens were exposed to two different antibodies to assay distribution of versican fragments and whole versican molecule.Western Blotting analysis of dentine and pulp extracts was also performed. The correlative FEI-SEM,TEM and FM analysis revealed positive immunoreaction for versican fragments both in predentine and dentine, while few gold particles identifying the whole versican molecule were found in predentine only under TEM. No labelling of versican whole molecule was detected by FEI-SEM and FM analysis. The immunoblotting analysis confirmed the morphological findings. This study suggests that in fully developed human teeth versican fragments are significant constituents of the human dentine and predentine organic matrix, while versican whole molecule can be visualised in scarce amount within predentine only. The role of versican fragments within human dentine organic matrix should be further elucidated.

Abstract
Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), a major non-collagenous matrix protein of odontoblasts, is proteolytically cleaved into dentin sialoprotein (DSP) and dentin phosphoprotein (DPP). Our previous studies revealed that DSPP null mice display a phenotype similar to human autosomal dominant dentinogenesis imperfecta, in which teeth have widened predentin and irregular dentin mineralization resulting in sporadic unmineralized areas in dentin and frequent pulp exposure. Earlier in vitro studies suggested that DPP, but not DSP, plays a significant role in initiation and maturation of dentin mineralization. However, the precise in vivo roles of DSP and DPP are far from clear. Here we report the generation of DPPcKO mice, in which only DSP is expressed in a DSPP null background, resulting in a conditional DPP knockout. DPPcKO teeth show a partial rescue of the DSPP null phenotype with the restored predentin width, an absence of irregular unmineralized areas in dentin, and less frequent pulp exposure. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis of DPPcKO molars further confirmed this partial rescue with a significant recovery in the dentin volume, but not in the dentin mineral density. These results indicate distinct roles of DSP and DPP in dentin mineralization, with DSP regulating initiation of dentin mineralization, and DPP being involved in the maturation of mineralized dentin.

Abstract
Dentin bonding relies on complete resin impregnation throughout the demineralised hydrophilic collagen mesh. Chondroitin sulphate-glycosaminoglycans are claimed to regulate the three-dimensional arrangement of the dentin organic matrix and its hydrophilicity. The aim of this study was to investigate bond strength of two etch-and-rinse adhesives to chondroitinase ABC treated dentin. Human extracted molars were treated with chondroitinase ABC and a double labeling immunohistochemical technique was applied to reveal type I collagen and chondroitin 4/6 sulphate distribution under field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope. The immunohistochemical technique confirmed the effective removal of chondroitin 4/6 sulphate after the enzymatic treatment. Dentin surfaces exposed to chondroitinase ABC and untreated specimens prepared on untreated acid-etched dentin were bonded with Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose or Prime and Bond NT. Bonded specimens were submitted to microtensile testing and nanoleakage interfacial analysis under transmission electron microscope. Increased mean values of microtensile bond strength and reduced nanoleakage expression were found for both adhesives after chondroitinase ABC treatment of the dentin surface. Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose increased its bond strength about 28%, while bonding made with Prime and Bond NT almost doubled (92% increase) compared to untreated specimens. This study supports the hypothesis that adhesion can be enhanced by removal of chondroitin 4/6 sulphate and dermatan sulphate, probably due to a reduced amount of water content and enlarged interfibrillar spaces. Further studies should validate this hypothesis investigating the stability of chondroitin 4/6 and dermatan sulphate-depleted dentin bonded interface over time.

Abstract
A prime pathogenic agent associated with periodontitis is lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Porphyromonas gingivalis. This study investigated the effects of P. gingivalis LPS on osteoblasts, which are responsible for alveolar bone repair. Bone cells were obtained from explants of rat alveolar bone chips and cultured with 0–200 ng ml−1 of P. gingivalis LPS. Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS significantly increased cell proliferation and inhibited osteoblast differentiation, as judged by reduced alkaline phosphatase activity. Analysis of biglycan mRNA and protein levels indicated that P. gingivalis LPS significantly delayed the normally high expression of biglycan during the early stages of culture, which are associated with cell proliferation and early differentiation of progenitor cells. In the presence of P. gingivalis LPS, decorin expression by the alveolar bone cells was reduced during periods of culture relating to collagen fibrillogenesis and mineral deposition. Analysis of glycosaminoglycan chains conjugated to these proteoglycans suggested that in the presence of P. gingivalis LPS, dermatan sulfate persisted within the matrix. This study suggests that P. gingivalis LPS influences the expression and processing of decorin and biglycan in the matrix, altering alveolar bone cell activity and osteoblast phenotype development. The consequences of this altered expression in relation to hindering bone repair as part of the cycle of events during periodontal disease are discussed.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells capable to differentiate into osteoblasts. Therefore, they represent attractive cell sources for tissue engineering applications, especially for bone replacement. Proteoglycans (PGs) exhibit a crucial role for matrix assembly and remodeling. Nevertheless, since bone development is a highly dynamic and complex process, the regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) formation remains elusive. Consequently, the aim of this study was to investigate the mRNA expression levels of genes involved in PG assembly in different stages of osteogenesis. For the rate-limiting enzyme in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biosynthesis xylosyltransferase I (XT-I), maximal mRNA expression levels (3.89 +/- 0.83-fold increase) and elevated enzyme activities (285 +/- 17 dpm/mug DNA) were observed 10 days after osteogenic induction, simultaneously to the beginning mineralization of the ECM, whereas the highly homologous protein XT-II showed no specific alterations. The differential expression of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate chains was determined by analyzing the mRNA expression of EXTL2 (alpha-1,4-N-acetylhexosaminyltransferase), GalNAcT (beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase), and GlcAC5E (glucuronyl C5-epimerase) as they represent crucial enzymes in GAG biosynthesis. Besides GlcAC5E, all key enzymes showed upregulated mRNA contents (up to 3.6-fold) around day 10. Except for decorin, which exhibited heightened mRNA levels even in the early stages of osteogenesis, we found similar upregulated mRNA contents (up to 14.6-fold) for all investigated PG core proteins. The synchronized expression profiles demonstrate the coordinated biosynthesis of the PGs during bone formation and osteogenic stem cell differentiation occurring in parallel to the mineralization of the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Collagen is used as a scaffold material for tissue engineering as well as a coating material for implants with a view to enhancing osseointegration by mimicry of the bone extracellular matrix in vivo. The biomimicry strategy can be taken further by incorporating the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) decorin and biglycan, which are expressed in bone. Both bind to fibrils during fibrillogenesis in vitro. In this study, the ability of collagen types I, II, and III to bind decorin and biglycan was compared. Collagen type II bound significantly more SLRPs in fibrils than collagen I and III, with more biglycan than decorin bound by all three collagen types. Therefore, type II fibrils with bound decorin or biglycan or neither were used to coat titanium surfaces. Bioavailability of SLRPs was confirmed by direct ELISA after SLRP biotinilation. The in vitro behavior of osteoblasts from rat calvaria (rOs) and human knee (hOs) cultured on different surfaces was compared. Proliferation and collagen synthesis were determined. Also, the influence of SLRPs on the formation of focal adhesions by rO was investigated. Biglycan enhanced the formation of focal adhesions after 2 and 24 h. Decorin and biglycan affected rO and hO proliferation and collagen synthesis differently. Biglycan stimulated hO proliferation significantly but had no effect on rO proliferation, and also inhibited rO collagen synthesis significantly while not affecting hO collagen synthesis. Decorin promoted hO proliferation slightly but did not influence rO proliferation. The results could be relevant when designing implant coatings or tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
The diversity of bone proteoglycan (PG) structure and localisation (pericellular, extracellular in the organic bone matrix) reflects a broad spectrum of biological functions within a unique tissue. PGs play important roles in organizing the bone extracellular matrix, taking part in the structuring of the tissue itself as active regulators of collagen fibrillogenesis. PGs also display selective patterns of reactivity with several constituents including cytokines and growth factors, such as transforming growth factor-beta or osteoprotegerin thereby modulating their bio-availability and biological activity in the bone tissue. In this review, the complex PG composition in bone will be addressed together with the specific role played by PGs (or their GAGs chains) in bone biology, as regulatory molecules for bone resorption and their involvement in bone tumor development. These roles have been determined after modulation of PG expression or mutations in their corresponding genes, which revealed specific roles for these compounds in bone pathologies (e.g. perlecan or glypican-3 mutations observed respectively in chondrodysplasia or dysmorphic syndrome). Finally, the potential therapeutic interest of PGs is discussed based on recent data, more particularly on bone tumor-associated osteolysis as these molecules are involved both in bone resorption and tumor development.

Abstract
Decorin and biglycan, two small leucine-rich proteoglycans, have been proposed to play important roles in matrix-mediated formation of mineralized tissues, and their three-dimensional arrangement in human dentin is still not completely understood. The aim of this study was to immunohistochemically analyze the distribution of decorin and biglycan in human predentin/dentin organic matrix under a high-resolution field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope (FEI-SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Tooth dentin specimens were submitted to either a preembedding or a postembedding immunolabeling technique using primary antibodies antidecorin and antibiglycan and gold-conjugated secondary antibodies. Correlative FEI-SEM/TEM observations showed that the two antibodies yielded a similar labeling pattern over the processes of odontoblasts and the predentin. Decorin and biglycan were mainly associated with the collagen fibers within the predentin layer, revealing a moderate immunoreaction that was significantly higher compared to the one observed on dentin. Thus, a generally weak labeling for decorin was found in dentin, which, however, was significantly higher on odontoblast processes within dentinal tubules than in intertubular dentin. On the other hand, biglycan immunolocalization on dentin revealed few gold particles rather uniformly distributed, without showing significant differences between tubular and intertubular regions. In conclusion, this study reveals distinct distribution patterns of decorin and biglycan and their relation with collagen. Decorin's and biglycan's precise roles within prematrix and mineralized matrix in human teeth should be further clarified.

Abstract
AIM To identify type I- (I-CF) and type III-collagen fibrils (III-CF) and chondroitin 4/6 sulphate (CS) within human pre-dentine by means of a correlative analysis under field emission in-lens-scanning electron microscopy (FEI-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). METHODOLOGY Human-extracted teeth were obtained and submitted to either a pre-embedding or a post-embedding immunolabelling procedure using monoclonal primary antibodies anti-I-CF, anti-III-CF and anti-CS. Gold-conjugated secondary antibodies were coupled to primary antibodies to visualize labelling under the electron beam. Correlative labelling patterns were obtained for I-CF and CS under both FEI-SEM and TEM. RESULTS Field emission in lens-SEM analysis revealed an intricate three-dimensional network of I-CF and CS clarifying the intimate relationship between the two main components of the pre-dentine organic matrix. TEM analysis revealed odontoblasts exhibiting intracellular labelling for CS, which became more intense and diffuse over the pre-dentine organic matrix. The same diffuse immunoreaction was revealed for I-CF, whereas a weak immunolocalization of III-CF was found scattered throughout the pre-dentine layer and over the collagen fibrils. CONCLUSIONS Both the pre- and post-embedding immunohistochemical approaches have led to the visualization of CF- and CS-labelling distribution within the pre-dentine layer, adding further knowledge on the elucidation of collagen-proteoglycans interaction in the organic matrix of human dental roots.

Abstract
Dentine sialoprotein (DSP) represents 5-8% of all non-collagenous proteins present in the tooth, but, together with dentine phosphoprotein, has been shown to be vital for correct tooth formation. Recently, the existence of a highly glycosylated form of porcine DSP has been reported and it was shown to possess glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains. The current investigation confirms that this is also the case for bovine DSP and has further characterized these carbohydrates. Dentine sialoprotein was purified from bovine dentine extracts by anion exchange chromatography and identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), western blotting, and mass spectroscopy. An increase in molecular mass was observed, from 120 kDa to greater than 250 kDa, with a corresponding rise in anionic strength. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis and western blotting indicated the presence of chondroitin sulfate GAG chains within these dentine fractions. Further examination using sequential digestion with chondroitinase AC and N-glycosidase cleaved the samples first to 95 kDa and then to 80 kDa, respectively, confirming a high level of glycosylation. These results support the classification of bovine DSP as a proteoglycan, and that the carbohydrate substitutions may contribute to the functional properties of DSP.

Abstract
Proteoglycans have been identified within the extracellular matrices (ECM) of bone and are known to play a role in ECM assembly, mineralization, and bone formation. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) specifically converts the differentiation pathway of C2C12 myoblasts into that of osteoblast lineage cells. Microarray analyses of the mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 and its differentiation into osteoblastic cells in response to BMP-2 have suggested the up-regulation of several proteoglycan species, although there is a lack of biochemical evidence for this response. In this study we have biochemically analyzed and characterized the proteoglycan populations that are induced in C2C12 cells upon osteoblastic differentiation produced by BMP-2. An important and specific increase in the synthesis of secreted decorin was observed in BMP-2-treated cells, as compared to untreated myoblasts and myoblasts induced to differentiate into myotubes. Decorin was seen to contain larger glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains in induced than in non-induced cells. BMP-2 also produced an augment in the synthesis of different heparan sulfate proteoglycans such syndecan-2, - 3, glypican, and perlecan in detergent-soluble and non-soluble cellular fractions. We also examined whether the evident changes induced by BMP-2 in secreted decorin could have a functional role. BMP-2 signaling dependent as well as induction of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was diminished in decorin null myoblasts compared to wild type myoblats although cell surface level of BPM-2 receptors was unchanged. These results are the first biochemical evidence and analysis for the effect of BMP-2 on the synthesis of proteoglycan during osteogenic conversion of myoblasts and suggest a role for decorin in cell response to BMP-2.

Abstract
The presence of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and their contribution to mechanical properties of the cementum-dentin junction (CDJ) were investigated using nanometer scale characterization techniques. Five to two millimeter thick transverse sections from the apical ends of human molars were ultrasectioned at room temperature under wet conditions using a diamond knife and an ultramicrotome. The structure of the CDJ under dry and wet conditions before and after digestion of GAGs and collagen fibrils was studied using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The mechanical properties of the untreated and enzyme treated CDJ under wet conditions were studied using an AFM-based nanoindenter. GAG digestion was performed for 1, 3, and 5 h at 37 degrees C using chondroitinase-ABC. Collagen fibril digestion was performed for 24 and 48 h at 37 degrees C using collagenase. As reported previously, AFM scans of dry untreated CDJ (control) revealed a valley, which transformed into a peak under wet conditions. The height differences relative to cementum and dentin of untreated and treated CDJ were determined by measuring the CDJ profile under dry and wet conditions. The depth of the valley of GAG and collagen-digested CDJ was greater than that of undigested CDJ under dry conditions. The height of the peak of GAG-digested CDJ was significantly higher than that of the undigested CDJ under wet conditions. The collagen-digested CDJ under wet conditions is assumed to form a valley because of the removal of collagen fibrils from the CDJ. However, the depth of the valley was lower compared to the depth under dry conditions. Wet AFM-based nanoindentation showed that the elastic modulus and hardness of control (3.3+/-1.2 and 0.08+/-0.03 GPa) were significantly higher (ANOVA & SNK, P < 0.05) than chondroitinase-ABC treated CDJ (0.9+/-0.4 and 0.02+/-0.004 GPa) and collagenase treated CDJ (1.5+/-0.6 and 0.04+/-0.01 GPa). No significant difference in mechanical properties between chondroitinase-ABC and collagenase treated CDJ was observed. Based on the results it was concluded that the 10-50 microm wide CDJ is a composite that includes, chondroitin-4-sulfate, chondroitin-6-sulfate, and possibly dermatan sulfate, and collagen fibrils. The association of GAGs with the collagen fibrils provides the observed controlled hydration and partially contributes toward the stiffness of the CDJ under wet conditions.

Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motifs (ADAMTS) is a family of extracellular proteases and implicated in cleaving proteoglycans, such as aggrecan, versican and brevican. No information is available about expression or localization of these ADAMTSs in teeth. Versican is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is present in a variety of connective tissue including dental pulp, dentin, cementum and periodontal ligaments. The present study was designed to investigate expression of ADAMTSs and versican during rat tooth eruption. Rat maxillary first molars in weeks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 were examined. The mRNA expression of ADAMTS1, ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5 and versican was localized using in situ hybridization. ADAMTS1, ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5 and versican were expressed in dental pulp cells, odontoblasts, cementoblasts, cementocytes, periodontal ligament cells, osteoblasts and osteocytes. The temporal and spatial expression pattern in these cellular phenotypes was comparable among ADAMTSs and versican. The present study suggests that dental pulp cells, odontoblasts, cementoblasts, cementocytes, periodontal ligament cells, osteoblasts and osteocytes may be involved in both production and degradation of versican with secreting ADAMTS1, ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5.

Abstract
This study examined the mechanism governing the occurrence of defect layers of incisor dentine in Mg-deficient rats by X-ray microanalysis. Young (5 weeks of age) Wistar male rats were pair-fed semi-synthetic diets containing either control (0.05% Mg) (N = 8) or Mg-deficient (0.001% Mg) (N = 8) ingredients for 17 days. All animals were time marked with a combination of 0.1 mol nitrilotriacetato lead and 0.1 mol nitrilotriacetato zinc (2mg Pb/kg body weight) on days 0, 7 and 14 into incisor dentine. Blood samples were obtained on days 10 and 17 in order to measure Ca, Mg, P and alkaline phosphatase activity levels in serum; moreover, hypomagnesaemia and hypercalcaemia were confirmed. After the 17th day, rats were sacrificed humanely under anaesthesia and mandibular incisors were removed. Dentine formation of right mandibular incisors was assessed (time marking lines); furthermore, Ca, P, Mg and sulphur (S) concentrations as well as Ca/P molar ratio were determined in left mandibular incisors based on contiguous measurement points at 2 microm intervals from dentine pulp to dentine of the lingual aspect via X-ray analysis. Additionally, proteoglycan distribution was observed in other Mg-deficient rat dentine. These findings demonstrated decreases in body weight, incisor formation and incisor length in Mg-deficient rats. Mg and S levels increased in the defect layers, whereas proteoglycan decreased. This phenomenon was possibly attributable to condensation of Mg and S contents consequent to decreased dentine formation during Mg-deficiency and a transient increase in Mg due to transport of Mg as a result of inhibition of cell proliferation in soft tissues.

Abstract
Studies have identified different pools of proteoglycan (PG) species present within the unmineralized matrix of the predentine, the transitional phase at the predentine-dentine interface and the mineralized dentine. These PGs alter with respect to the chemical nature of their glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains and as a result of extracellular processing of the macromolecule in the matrix. The present study has examined the influence of the PGs isolated from these phases and the influence of the attached GAG chains, upon their ability to control collagen fibrillogenesis. PGs isolated from the three phases were characterized and determined to contain a mixture of decorin and biglycan. Results have indicated that predentine PGs, which are substituted with a higher proportion of dermatan sulfate, significantly delayed fibril formation while ultimately promoting the formation of thicker fibrils. Removal of the GAG chains further delayed fibrillogenesis, leading to the formation of thinner fibrils, compared with the collagen-only control. PGs isolated from predentine-dentine, which contained a higher proportion of chondroitin sulfate, also significantly delayed fibrillogenesis, resulting in thicker collagen fibrils. GAG chains attached to the predentine-dentine interface PGs played a role in the timing of fibrillogenesis with fibril formation initiated at the same time as the collagen control, but yielding thicker fibrils. Dentine PGs significantly inhibited fibrillogenesis and fibril thickness over concentrations of 50-25 microg/mL protein. In conclusion, the PGs isolated from the distinct phases have indicated differing roles in the orchestrated organization of the extracellular matrix during dentinogenesis, with roles for both the core protein and attached GAG chains indicated.

Abstract
Dentin sialoprotein (DSP) is a glycoprotein that is critical for proper tooth dentin formation, but little is known about the nature of its carbohydrate attachments and other post-translational modifications. We have isolated DSP from pig dentin and demonstrate that it is a proteoglycan. Polyclonal antibodies were raised in chicken against recombinant pig DSP, and used to identify native DSP in fractions of tooth dentin proteins extracted from developing pig molars. Amino acid analyses and characterization of lysylendopeptidase cleavage products confirmed that the purified protein was DSP, and that Arg391 is at the DSP C terminus. On SDS-PAGE and on urea gels, DSP appeared as a smear extending from 280 to 100 kDa, but in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol the top of the DSP smear disappeared. The high molecular weight material was likely comprised of covalent DSP dimers connected by a disulfide bridge at Cys205. Oligosaccharides were released from DSP following N- and O-linked glycosidase digestions, but these digestions had little effect on the apparent molecular weight of DSP on SDS-PAGE, when compared with the significant reduction following chondroitinase ABC digestion. Glycosaminoglycanases with assorted glycosaminoglycan (GAG) cleavage specificities coupled with Western analyses of the cleaved GAG "stubs" demonstrated that the DSP GAG attachments contain chondroitin 6-sulfate, but not keratan sulfate, heparan sulfate, chondroitin, or chondroitin 4-sulfate. DSP binds biotin-labeled hyaluronic acid, and such binding is inhibited by the addition of unlabeled hyaluronic acid. We conclude that DSP is a proteoglycan and that GAG attachments are the predominant structural feature of porcine DSP.

Abstract
The transition from an unmineralized predentine to a mineralized dentine involves a variety of molecular extracellular matrix interactions and protein degradation events. Previous studies have identified that different pools of proteoglycan (PG) species are present within the matrix of the predentine, the transitional phase at the predentine-dentine border, and the mineralized dentine. These PGs alter with respect to the chemical nature of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain and as a result of extracellular processing of the macromolecule in the matrix. This study has examined the hydroxyapatite (HAP) binding affinity of the PGs isolated from these phases and the influence of the attached GAG chains upon their binding characteristics. PGs isolated from the three phases were characterized to contain a mixture of decorin and biglycan, substituted with chondroitin sulfate GAG chain(s). Maximal binding for dentine PGs onto HAP was achieved at 15.60 microg/ml protein and for predentine-dentine interface PGs at 0.125 mg/ml. A significantly increasing gradient of affinity was observed moving toward dentine, with dentine PGs exhibiting 19 times greater binding affinity for HAP than predentine PGs and 7.5 times greater affinity than predentine-dentine interface PGs. Removal of the GAG chains from dentine PGs significantly reduced binding affinity for HAP but did not influence the number of binding sites. The difference in binding ability observed for the different PG pools gives further support for the involvement of these macromolecules in regulating the transition from predentine to dentine and suggests key roles for the GAG chains in the mineralisation process.

Abstract
Keratan sulfate proteoglycan and dermatan sulfate proteoglycan have been reported to inhibit collagen fibrillogenesis. We investigated their distribution in order to evaluate the role of proteoglycan in dentinogenesis. Specimens of porcine tooth-germ dentin and erupted teeth were the materials on which antibodies to keratin sulfate and dermatan sulfate proteoglycan were used. Predentin was found to be positive for both antibodies and the reaction ceased in the calcification front. Uniformly thick collagen fibrils (30-70 nm in diameter) were distributed in the predentin matrix, which would become intertubular dentin in the future. Both antibodies reacted positively along these fibrils. In contrast, along the surface layer of dentin in the tooth germ and that in erupted teeth, collagen fibrils of 10-300 nm in diameter were noted occasionally in dentinal tubules whose odontoblastic processes had disappeared and these heterogeneous fibrils were negative for both antibodies. Our findings suggest that keratan sulfate proteoglycan and dermatan sulfate proteoglycan distributed in the predentin inhibit calcification of collagen fibrils in the uncalcified matrix and disappear in the calcification front. It is further suggested that keratan sulfate proteoglycan and dermatan sulfate proteoglycan distributed along collagen fibrils in the predentin matrix maintain uniform thickness, whereas collagen fibrils in dentinal tubules varied in thickness because of the absence of involvement of both proteoglycans. Therefore, keratan sulfate proteoglycan and dermatan sulfate proteoglycan were thought to be involved in both calcification and matrix formation.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2004; 1689:142-51.

Abstract
Fluoride is known to influence mineralisation patterns within dentine, where alterations in the post-translational modification of proteoglycans (PG) have been proposed as an implicating factor. In light of recent studies elucidating changing PG profiles in the transition of predentine to mineralised dentine, this study investigates the influence of fluoride on the major PG populations (decorin, biglycan and versican) within the pulp, predentine and dentine. Tooth sections from rat incisors were cultured for 14 days in the presence 0, 1 and 6 mM sodium fluoride and the PG extracted from the pulp, predentine and dentine matrices. PG species and corresponding metabolites were identified by their immuno-reactivity to antibodies against decorin, biglycan and versican. Component glycosaminoglycan chains were characterised with respect to their nature, chain length and disaccharide composition. Levels of PG extracted from pulp and predentine were reduced, particularly for biglycan. Fluoride did not influence levels of decorin or versican within predentine or dentine, although the processing of these macromolecules within pulp and predentine was affected, particularly at higher fluoride concentrations. Levels of dermatan sulfate were reduced within pulp and predentine, although the effect was less pronounced for predentine. Fluoride reduced sulfation of glycosaminoglycan chains within pulp and predentine tissues, with a notable reduction in Deltadi6S evident. In all three tissues, glycosaminoglycan chain length was reduced. Considering the various roles for PG in the dentine-pulp complex, either directly or indirectly in the mineralisation process, changes in the synthesis, structure and processing of the different PG species within the pulp, predentine and dentine matrices provides a further molecular explanation for the altered mineralisation patterns witnessed during fluorosis.
