Abstract
Amelogenin is the major organic component in the enamel matrix of developing teeth and plays an important role in enamel biomineralization. Amelogenin has been reported to be a specific secretory product of ameloblasts. In this study, we examined amelogenin gene expression in various cell layers prepared from a porcine permanent tooth germ using reverse transcription-polymerase chain-reaction (RT-PCR). Amelogenin amplification products were detected only in the secretory ameloblast layer after 20 cycles of PCR. After 30 cycles of PCR, amelogenin amplification products were detected in secretory and maturation-stage ameloblasts and in odontoblasts. The relative levels of amelogenin gene expression in secretory and maturation-stage ameloblasts and odontoblasts were determined. Secretory ameloblasts expressed over 1000 times the level of amelogenin mRNA found in odontoblasts. Amelogenin gene expression in odontoblasts was confirmed in an erupted porcine permanent first molar, which has no ameloblasts. Amelogenin PCR amplification products were identified from 4 different alternatively spliced transcripts in the ameloblast samples, and the same spliced forms were detected in the odontoblast samples.

Abstract
The objective of this review is to summarize our understanding of the role of host matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the caries process and to discuss new therapeutic avenues. MMPs hydrolyze components of the extracellular matrix and play a central role in many biological and pathological processes. MMPs have been suggested to play an important role in the destruction of dentin organic matrix following demineralization by bacterial acids and, therefore, in the control or progression of carious decay. Host-derived MMPs can originate both from saliva and from dentin. They may be activated by an acidic pH brought about by lactate release from cariogenic bacteria. Once activated, they are able to digest demineralized dentin matrix after pH neutralization by salivary buffers. Furthermore, the degradation of SIBLINGs (Small Integrin-binding Ligand N-linked Glycoproteins) by the caries process may potentially enhance the release of MMPs and their activation. This review also explores the different available MMP inhibitors, natural or synthetic, and suggests that MMP inhibition by several inhibitors, particularly by natural substances, could provide a potential therapeutic pathway to limit caries progression in dentin.

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
The temporal expression patterns and activity distributions of enamelysin and EMSP1, which are the major proteinases in immature enamel, were characterized. Extracellular matrix fractions from developing porcine incisors, individually comprised of predentin, dentin, and four secretory-stage enamel samples, including the highly mineralized enamel (HME) at the enamel-dentin junction (EDJ), were isolated, and their resident proteinases were identified by zymography. Soft-tissue fractions, which included cells from the extension site of enamel formation (ESEF), secretory- and maturation-stage ameloblasts, and odontoblasts, were characterized histologically and by RT-PCR for their expression of enamelysin and EMSP1. A significant finding was that EMSP1, expressed by odontoblasts, concentrates in the HME, but is not detected in predentin or dentin. We conclude that odontoblasts deposit EMSP1 via their cell processes into the deepest enamel layer, which facilitates the hardening of this layer and contributes significantly to the functional properties of the EDJ.

Abstract
Since growth factors have been suggested to regulate dentin collagen formation in response to external irritation, we investigated the effect of TGF-β1 on proα1(I) collagen mRNA expression in cultured mature human odontoblasts and pulpal fibroblasts, as well as cultured human pulp tissue, using quantitative PCR. Cultured gingival fibroblasts (GF) and osteoblasts (OB) served as controls. Also, type I collagen synthesis in cultured odontoblasts and pulp tissue, as well as type III collagen synthesis in odontoblasts, were studied by measuring respective procollagen (PINP and PIIINP) secretion into culture media with radioimmunoassay (RIA). Odontoblasts expressed significantly higher basic level of type I collagen mRNA than pulp tissue or pulp fibroblasts in culture, but markedly lower level than GF and OB cells. TGF-β1 (10 ng/ml) had negligible effects on type I collagen mRNA expression or PINP synthesis in cultured odontoblasts and pulp tissue, and PIIINP synthesis in the odontoblasts. In PF cells, the effect of TGF-β1 depended on culturing conditions; a 6-fold increase in mRNA expression was observed using serum-free medium but no effect was seen in the cells cultured with 10% FBS. In contrast, GF cells serving as controls were not markedly affected by the culture conditions, with 2-3-fold increase in mRNA expression by TGF-β1. These experiments demonstrate that mature human odontoblasts are capable of synthesizing type III collagen protein, and that TGF-β1 has negligible effect on mature human odontoblast and pulp tissue collagen expression.

Abstract
The large scale production of recombinant collagen for use in biomaterials requires an efficient expression system capable of processing a large (> 400 Kd) multisubunit protein requiring post-translational modifications. To investigate whether the mammary gland of transgenic animals fulfills these requirements, transgenic mice were generated containing the alpha S1-casein mammary gland-specific promoter operatively linked to 37 Kb of the human alpha 1(I) procollagen structural gene and 3' flanking region. The frequency of transgenic lines established was 12%. High levels of soluble triple helical homotrimeric [(alpha 1)3] type I procollagen were detected (up to 8 mg/ml) exclusively in the milk of six out of 9 lines of lactating transgenic mice. The transgene-derived human procollagen chains underwent efficient assembly into a triple helical structure. Although proline or lysine hydroxylation has never been described for any milk protein, procollagen was detected with these post-translational modifications. The procollagen was stable in milk; minimal degradation was observed. These results show that the mammary gland is capable of expressing a large procollagen gene construct, efficiently assembling the individual polypeptide chains into a stable triple helix, and secreting the intact molecule into the milk.

Abstract
Insulin, insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II are considered to play an important part in the growth and differentiation of dental pulp cells. The present study examined the effects of these factors on pulp cells in serum-free culture conditions. The DNA content and alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity of dog pulp cells increased when they were cultured in a serum-free medium supplemented with transferrin, yolk lipoprotein and basic fibrobrast growth factor (TYF medium). The pulp cells produced type I collagen but not type III, suggesting that they might proliferate and differentiate into odontoblast-like cells in a serum-free culture. Both IGF-I and IGF-II enhanced the ALPase activity of pulp cells cultured in TYF medium to an equivalent level, but a higher concentration of IGF-II was necessary to produce a similar effect on DNA synthesis to that of IGF-I. Insulin dose-dependently enhanced DNA synthesis and increased ALPase activity, but its effects were weaker than those of the IGFs. These findings suggest that IGF-I might have a primary role in the growth and differentiation of pulp cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS The value of the concept of a pulpo-dentinal complex was assessed on human teeth treated according to the ISO test on biological evaluation. The teeth were extracted after 1 or 3 months and examined histologically. Biochemical and biological data available from the dental literature were also re-examined. RESULTS During the early development of the tooth, pulp and dentine establish close links and form an undivided organ. However, examination of the tissues at later stages of development casts doubt on the validity of such a concept. Major differences are reviewed in this report between the cells (odontoblasts and heterogeneous pulpal cells) and extracellular matrix (collagens, non-collagenic proteins and phospholipids) located either in the odontoblast-dentine area or in the pulp. It seems also that clear-cut differences are detected during inflammatory and repair processes. CONCLUSION It is concluded that, although the existence of a dentino-pulpal reaction cannot be denied, the concept of a pulpo-dentinal complex is an oversimplification and should be revisited. This may have implications in the evaluation of restorative treatments and in the design of a tissue repair strategy.

Abstract
The precise mechanisms involved in dentinogenesis are not understood; however, the information to date suggests that a number of highly controlled extracellular events are involved. Mature odontoblasts secrete collagen at the cell border into predentin. They synthesize and secrete other non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) at the mineralization front, possibly through odontoblastic processes. A collagen-NCP complex is formed at the predentin-dentin border and apatite crystal initiation and growth takes place. One of the research needs is to uncover the nature of this dentin collagen-NCP complex and to understand how it controls mineralization. At least three dentin specific NCPs are known: phosphophoryn(s), dentin sialoprotein (DSP) and AG1 (Dmp1). Other macromolecules are commonly made by osteoblasts and odontoblasts and participate in bone and dentin formation. Some progress in understanding dentin mineralization has been gained by focusing upon the role of phosphophoryns. These highly phosphorylated proteins are secreted at the mineralization front, where a small portion binds in the gap region of type I collagen fibrils. This portion of phosphoproteins probably initiates formation of plate-like apatite crystals. Additional phosphoryns in higher concentrations bind to the growing apatite crystals and slow their growth, possibly influencing their size and shape. Other areas which need careful investigations are those involving the mechanisms involved in odontoblast differentiation, how the synthesis of the dentin specific NCPs is controlled and the precise roles of these macromolecules in dentinogenesis. Future experimentation will focus on the gene structures for these NCPs and the mechanisms of tissue specific gene regulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The bone, dentin, and cementum of the mature individual are comprised from a dense collagenous fiber network into which the carbonate-apatite mineral phase is deposited. It is hypothesized that a set of collagen-interactive acidic phosphoproteins are secreted by the osteoblasts, odontoblasts, and cementoblasts into the preformed collagenous matrix. These proteins then interact specifically with the collagen and nucleate apatite formation on and within the fibrils. These phosphoproteins may also regulate the morphology, rate of growth, and stability of the mineral phase crystals. The acidic matrix phosphoproteins may thus be considered as the crucial regulators of mineralization and tissue stability. In the dentin system, these regulatory proteins are synthesized, posttranslationally modified, and secreted in vesicles different from the collagen secretory vesicles. Mineralization occurs as the regulatory proteins are deposited on the preformed fibrils. This model requires testing in the bone system. In dentin, in the absence of tissue turnover, the resident phosphoproteins are degraded in situ over time, perhaps changing the properties of the tissue. Regulation of synthesis, secretory pathways and retention of integrity within the matrix are thus important areas for further investigation.

Abstract
The expression of pro-alpha 1(III) and pro-alpha 1(I) collagen mRNAs in mouse and human dental tissues during tooth development and after its completion was analyzed by in situ hybridization, with use of [35S]-labeled RNA probes. The expression of pro-alpha 1(III) mRNA was also compared to that of the protein product, as localized by immunostaining with polyclonal antibodies to type III collagen and the N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen. Contrary to many previous reports, our results suggest that odontoblasts express type III collagen. While pro-alpha 1(III) transcripts were less intensely expressed in odontoblasts than pro-alpha 1(I) transcripts, the amounts of both mRNAs increased in odontoblasts with progressing dentin formation, and decreased toward its completion. In contrast to pro-alpha 1(III) mRNA, pro-alpha 1(I) mRNA was still detectable in odontoblasts of fully developed teeth. Type III collagen immunoreactivity was observed in the early predentin, and again in predentin toward the completion of dentinogenesis, when mRNA was no longer detected. Also in the pulp, the protein product, unlike pro-alpha 1(III) mRNA, was relatively strongly expressed. Hence, these immunostaining patterns were inversely related to the expression of pro-alpha 1(III) mRNA, suggesting accumulation of the protein. The mesenchymal cells, when condensed in the region of the future mandibular bone, expressed pro-alpha 1(III) mRNA intensely, whereas osteoblasts expressed pro-alpha 1(I) but not pro-alpha 1(III) transcripts strongly. Cell type- and developmental stage-related differences in the expression of the two mRNAs suggest that type I/type III collagen ratio influences the structure of dental tissues.

Abstract
The formation of dentin, dentinogenesis, comprises a sophisticated interplay between several factors in the tissue, cellular as well as extracellular. Dentin may be regarded as a calcified connective tissue. In this respect, as well as in its mode of formation, it is closely related to bone. Using dentinogenesis as an experimental model to study biomineralization provides several practical advantages, and the results may be extrapolated to understand similar processes in other tissues, primarily bone. After describing dentin structure and composition, this review discusses items such as the morphology of dentinogenesis; the dentinogenically active odontoblast, transport, and concentrations of mineral ions; the constituents of the dentin organic matrix; and the presumed mechanisms involved in mineral formation.

Abstract
Pulp tissue was obtained from maxillary incisors of young adult male Wistar rats, minced and digested with 0.5% trypsin and 0.02% EGTA at 37 degrees C for 30 min. Dissociated cells were cultured with or without 10 nM dexamethasone using Eagle's minimal essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 50 micrograms/ml ascorbic acid. Confluent cells were subcultured at 7 days and the medium further supplemented with beta-glycerophosphate (beta-GP). Dexamethasone in primary culture and/or secondary culture enhanced the formation of mineralized tissue while > 5 mM beta-GP was necessary for mineralization to occur. Biochemical analysis of the radiolabelled medium revealed that these cells produced type I, type I trimer and type III collagens. Analysis of [32PO4]-labelled medium, using DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange chromatography and sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, showed that these cells produced phosphophoryn-like protein. These results indicate that some of the rat dental pulp cells in culture express an odontoblast-like phenotype.

Abstract
Pulp cells from human permanent molars were isolated and established in culture; 40% showed positive alkaline phosphatase staining. When incubated with 50 micrograms/ml of ascorbic acid and 10 mM of beta-glycerophosphate, the cells formed a mineralized extracellular matrix; they could thus have the potential to differentiate into odontoblast-like cells in vitro. Collagen synthesis was analysed by SDS interrupted gel electrophoresis, Northern blot and slot blot: the cells produced predominantly (approximately 99%) type I collagen and only trace amount of type III collagen. The ratio of alpha 1 (I) to alpha 2(I) procollagen chains was about 68:32, indicating that no significant amount of collagen type I trimer was synthesized in this system. The ratios of alpha 1(I), alpha 2(I) and alpha 1(III) procollagen mRNAs were about 61:25:1; these were compatible with the ratios of corresponding procollagen alpha chains. In addition, a novel 5.8 kb pro alpha 1(III) mRNA was detected. These observations indicate that collagen synthesis in these cultured pulp cells was regulated at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
The distribution of collagen types I and III was demonstrated in healthy periodontal tissues of the rat and marmoset using immunofluorescent localization after decalcification of the maxillae and mandiblae in 0.2 N HCl. An intense fluorescence in the alveolar bone and cementum matrix, as well as in the soft periodontal tissue, was demonstrated with anti-collagen type I antibodies. In the gingival connective tissue and in the periodontal ligament thick fibers of collagen type I could be observed. The fluorescent reaction in the rat periodontal ligament was not strong in comparison to the marmoset periodontal ligament. Sharpey's fibers, inserting into the cementum and alveolar bone, were also stained. On the other hand, collagen type III could not be demonstrated in the hard periodontal tissues, but could be in the bone marrow stroma and the incremental lines as well as around the Sharpey's fibers of the cementum, in accordance to previous studies. In the gingival connective tissue a strong staining was evident, especially near the basement membrane. The periodontal ligament showed an intense fluorescence that was, in some areas, continuous with Sharpey's fibers inserting into the cementum. The distribution of collagen types I and III was demonstrated with immunohistochemical techniques in the rat and marmoset periodontium. These results provide necessary information on healthy tissues that will be required for future studies on the effects of pathological, reparative and regenerative processes.

Abstract
The expression of the gene COL1A2, coding for the pro-alpha 2 chain of type I pro-collagen, was analyzed in fully developed human permanent teeth. The teeth were fixed with formalin, demineralized with EDTA for about ten weeks, and embedded in paraffin. Pro-alpha 2(I) mRNA was localized in the sections by in situ hybridization, with use of [35S)]-labeled single-stranded RNA probes. The amount of mRNA for pro-alpha 2(I) collagen chain, as indicated by the relative densities of silver grains and the grain counts per cell in autoradiography, was high in odontoblasts, whereas in pulpal fibroblasts it was low. High levels of pro-alpha 2(I)mRNA expression were also present in those odontoblasts which had elaborated new dentin matrix in response to dental caries. Expression in the periodontal ligament, including the cementoblast layer, was slightly stronger than that in odontoblasts. The intense expression of pro-alpha 2(I) mRNA in odontoblasts of adult teeth suggests that even after the completion of primary dentin formation, they continue to synthesize heterotrimeric type I collagen molecules. Cell type-specific differences in the expression of pro-alpha 2(I) mRNA imply that type I collagen probably plays a major role in the regulation of the structure and function of dental tissues. Finally, in situ hybridization enabled pro-alpha 2(I) collagen mRNA to be detected in tissue sections even after prolonged demineralization, and thus it proved to be a valuable technique for analysis of gene expression in adult dental tissues, as shown here for COL1A2.

Abstract
Dentin phosphoprotein (DPP) and dephosphorylated DPP (deP-DPP) were isolated from developing bovine incisor and purified by DEAE-Sephacel and Sepharose CL-6B chromatography. Intact DPP showed partial resistance to proteolytic cleavage; while deP-DPP was completely susceptible to protease digestion. This result suggested that phosphate residues within DPP molecule may protect its structural integrity. DPP was also very sensitive to heat. When DPP was heated at 100 degrees C in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, increasing concentrations of SDS resulted in a protective effect from degradation. An analysis of DPP biosynthesis was carried out by isolation of the odontoblast tissue/cells attached to forming dentin or scraped from dentin surface followed by incubation with radioactive amino acids and phosphate. DPPs produced in vitro were larger in size than those DPPs extracted from mature dentin matrix. To determine the size of the unprocessed form of DPP, Xenopus laevis oocytes were incubated in [32P]-phosphate-containing medium after microinjection of poly(A)+ mRNA extracted from the bovine odontoblasts. Radioactive DPP analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation with an anti-DPP monoclonal antibody was shown to have an apparent Mr of 150-160 k. These data imply that changes in molecular size of DPP may occur by post-translational cleavage or other modification such as degradation within dentin matrix in vivo.

Abstract
Embryonic mouse molars were grown on a semi-solid medium supplemented with 2 mM beta-D-xylopyranoside (beta-xyloside), a specific inhibitor of proteoglycan synthesis. The induced glycosaminoglycan depletion in the extracellular matrix was monitored by immunohistochemistry employing monoclonal antibodies to chondroitin 4- and chondroitin 6-sulfates. beta-Xyloside inhibited formation of the dental bell and delayed the appearance of the first odontoblasts. Odontoblast functional differentiation proceeded in the absence of chondroitin sulfate in the basement membrane. Predentin secreted in the presence of beta-xyloside triggered the polarization of ameloblasts, but did not allow the maintenance of polarized odontoblasts. These results support the hypothesis that, in the tooth germ, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans participate in the regulation of cell kinetic-dependent morphogenesis (Mark et al., 1990. Differentiation 43, 37-50). On the other hand, the possibility that chondroitin sulfate might play a role in odontoblast terminal differentiation is definitively ruled out.

Abstract
The sign of 'clicking' in the temporomandibular joint is not a normal phenomenon. It is, in fact, often the first indication of potential myofascial pain or temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome and as such should be detected early and diagnosed correctly. Clicking is a cardinal sign of altered function within the joint, the aetiology for which can only be diagnosed from a sound knowledge of anatomy and physiology. With this background it is possible to ascertain whether the cause is essentially biochemical, neuromuscular, or occlusal in nature or multifactorial components of all three categories. An attempt has been made to provide background knowledge in order that a correct diagnosis can be made.

Abstract
In the Mov13 mouse mutant, transcription of the alpha 1 (1) collagen gene is blocked by a retroviral insert in the first intron. We now report that teeth derived from homozygous embryos produce a dentin layer containing normal amounts of collagen 1. In situ hybridization and RNAase protection experiments indicate that the mutant allele is efficiently transcribed in odontoblasts, in contrast to other cell types. Correct splicing of the primary transcript containing the viral sequence results in a functional alpha 1 (1) collagen mRNA. The absence of a mutagenic effect in odontoblasts, as opposed to fibroblasts, suggests that the retroviral insert interferes with tissue-specific transcriptional control of the alpha 1 (1) collagen gene, most likely by inactivating cell-type-specific cis-acting regulatory elements.

Abstract
Dentin may be regarded as a mineralized connective tissue. In its composition as well as its mode of formation, dentin exhibits several similarities with bone, but also definite differences. The dentin organic phase, the matrix, determines its morphology and is believed to be instrumental in the formation of the mineral phase. A fibrous web of collagen type I dominates the organic matrix. Also, minor amounts of other collagen types may be present. The noncollagenous proteins (NCPs), which constitute about 10% of the matrix, fall into several categories: phosphoproteins, Gla-proteins of the osteocalcin type as well as matrix Gla-protein, proteoglycans, different acidic glycoproteins, and serum proteins. Some of these NCPs have unique chemical compositions that give them specific properties. Dentinogenesis occurs by two simultaneous processes: the formation of a collagenous web in predentin, which is followed by the formation of the inorganic phase at the mineralization front. The composition of the predentin organic matrix differs from that of dentin, as some NCP components are secreted extracellularly just in advance of the mineralization front. In addition, some constituents of predentin seem to be metabolized. The NCPs may be important to several processes during dentinogenesis. Much evidence indicates that noncollagenous components in the matrix are instrumental in mineral formation. New data show that polyanionic NCPs, such as phosphoprotein and proteoglycans, when immobilized on a solid support, induce apatite formation under physiological conditions. These data indicate that polyanionic NCPs may function as mineral nucleators in vivo. They may also act as size and rate regulators for crystallization and promote calcium ion diffusion in the tissue. In addition, NCPs may regulate collagen fibrillogenesis.

Abstract
SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoblot and amino acid composition analyses were applied to human and mouse acellular cementum proteins immunologically related to enamelins and amelogenins. In this analysis, anti-mouse amelogenin, anti-human enamelin and synthetic peptide (e.g., -LPPHPGHPGYIC-) antibodies were shown to cross-react with tooth crown-derived enamelin with a molecular mass of 72,000 Da (72 kDa), amelogenins (26 kDa), and also to four human cementum proteins (72, 58, 50 and 26 kDa) and two mouse cementum proteins (72 and 26 kDa). Each of the antibodies recognized tooth root-derived cementum polypeptides which share one or more epitopes with tooth crown-derived enamel proteins. The molecular mass and isoelectric points for crown-derived and root-derived enamel-related proteins were similar. Analysis of human and mouse cementum proteins revealed a characteristic amino acid composition enriched in glutamyl, serine, glycine, alanine, proline, valine and leucine residues; compared to the major enamel protein amelogenin, cementum proteins were low in proline, histidine and methionine. The human and mouse putative intermediate cementum proteins appear to represent a distinct class of enamel-related proteins. Moreover, these results support the hypothesis that epithelial root sheath epithelia express several cementum proteins immunologically related to canonical enamel proteins.

Abstract
The distribution and synthesis of type I and type III collagens in the mouse molar tooth root have been investigated by correlating light and electron immunohistochemical data. Purified rabbit antibodies were raised against mouse type I and type III collagens and indirect immunoperoxidase procedures were used. In these conditions, predentin, pre-bone, and pre-acellular cementum were intensely immunostained for type I collagen. Both optic and ultrastructural data confirmed the presence of type I collagen at the epithelio-mesenchymal junction, but Hertwig's basement membranes remained unlabelled. The odontoblasts including the short polarized ones, osteoblasts, some cells of pulp mesenchyme and the perifollicular cells possessed type I collagen immunoreactivity in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), Golgi complex and the secretory vesicles. Type III collagen immunoreactivity was strong in the perifollicular mesenchyme, light in the pulp mesenchyme and absent from the epithelio-mesenchymal junction, the predentin, pre-bone and pre-acellular cementum. Intracellular immunolabelling was detected at the ultrastructural level in the perifollicular cells by a faint homogeneous peroxidase deposit in the RER cisternae. Finally, these results, compared with previous biochemical and morphological data, represent the first dynamic aspect of collagens distribution and synthesis in the mouse molar root development. In terms of cell differentiation, our data also suggest that type III collagen synthesis does not occur during the odontoblast process of differentiation.

Abstract
The injury of dental pulp tissue, following caries, is accompanied by the deposit of a typical hard scar tissue known as reparative dentine which should be regarded as the mineralization of a new organic matrix. Highly purified antibodies were used in combination with immunoperoxidase or immunogold technique at the ultrastructural level to reveal the distribution and synthesis of types I and III collagen and fibronectin elaborated by typical matrix-forming cells in the new tissue. Specific immunoperoxidase labelling, on demineralized teeth, clearly demonstrated that type I collagen represents the main type of collagen (88%). It is associated with bundles of fine striated fibrils of type III collagen and in close vicinity with fibronectin and constituted, at least, the new organic matrix of reparative dentine. Immunogold staining gave precise localization mainly over Golgi apparatus for the 3 components, thus suggesting that the cells concerned should not be considered as new odontoblasts but rather as pulpal cells in the process of differentiation participating in the formation of new dentine. Moreover, these events are very similar to those observed during wound healing in other tissues.

Abstract
Reparative dentine formed as a response to caries was mostly type I collagen similar to that of normal dentine. The predentine related to reparative dentine reacted positively with antisera to types I and III collagen and to fibronectin. Normal odontoblasts and their processes reacted positively both with types I and III collagen antibodies. Fibronectin was related to odontoblasts and their processes pericellularly. Odontoblasts appeared not to lose totally their developmental ability to synthesize type III-like molecules after maturation. Pulp fibroblasts reacted positively both with types I and III antibodies as well as antifibronectin. The cell-free and cell-rich zones revealed a dense layer of fibres reacting positively with type III collagen and fibronectin antibodies. The width of these zones were reduced in relation to reparative dentine.

Abstract
An in vitro system consisting of rat incisor fragments was used to study the process of dentinogenesis. In order to establish the usefulness of the organ culture, the biosynthesis and deposition of the major noncollagenous components of dentin, the phosphophoryns, were followed for specific lengths of time in culture. Three criteria were satisfied: (1) the synthesis of proteins which appeared to be chemically identical to the native proteins of dentin, (2) the accumulation of the phosphophoryns within the matrix or time, and (3) the association of the secreted proteins with the mineral phase of dentin. The synthesis of phosphophoryns was determined by using both (3H)-serine and (32P)-inorganic phosphate as precursors for synthesis of protein and post-translational modification of serine to phosphoserine. In vitro synthesized phosphophoryns were characterized by 1) their accumulation and EDTA extractability from within dentin, 2) calcium chloride precipitability, 3) elution on anion-exchange columns (DEAE cellulose and AGMP50), and 4) Mr's on SDS-PAGE and Sepharose CL-6B columns. This novel system of studying dentinogenesis provides a model with which to study the regulation of extracellular matrix protein synthesis and may be useful for revealing the effect of other agents which influence tooth development and mineralized tissue metabolism in general.

Abstract
The dental pulp is a loose connective tissue, characterized by its specific anatomical location. Its extracellular components are obvious subjects for study, since such components are largely responsible for the physiological properties of the tissue. Several clinically important processes occur extracellularly, e.g., defense mechanisms such as inflammatory reactions and formation of calcified tissue. The dental mesenchyme has a crucial role during early tooth morphogenesis. The dental pulp, or rather the dental papilla, seems to have only an indirect role during dentinogenesis. This review discusses proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, fibronectin and other non-collagenous proteins, and the different types of collagen that have been studied in pulp connective tissue. With regard to its biochemical constituents, the pulp is similar to other loose connective tissues. Collagen type I is the major fibrous component, but collagen type III also constitutes a large portion. Fibronectin is present, as is a high content of proteoglycan. In the proteoglycans, all normally occurring connective tissue glycosaminoglycans can be demonstrated. The composition of the pulpal extracellular matrix during tooth development is quite different from that of the mature tooth. Thus, it is important not to draw any too-far-reaching conclusions about the situation in human pulp from results obtained by studying pulp from animal teeth with ongoing dentinogenesis. In spite of their common ancestry, pulp and dentin differ considerably in extracellular matrix composition. Proteoglycans and collagen type I are present in dentin. No type III collagen or fibronectin can be found in the dentin, although it is present in the dental pulp.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have previously shown that G8-1, a murine clonal skeletal-muscle cell line, produces a substrate-attached extracellular matrix [Beach, Burton, Hendricks & Festoff (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 11437-11442]. To examine further the expression of extracellular-matrix proteins by muscle cells, we have analysed the collagenous proteins secreted by G8-1 myoblasts. We have found that collagens and/or procollagens, corresponding to genetic types I, III and IV (and possibly V), are produced and secreted by G8-1 myoblasts. The major secreted collagenous polypeptides were identified as alpha 1 type I and its precursors by using pulse-chase studies, pepsin and collagenase digestions and CNBr fragmentation. The presence of lesser amounts of the other collagens was determined by immunoprecipitation. These results demonstrate that clonal skeletal-muscle cells, in the absence of fibroblasts and an exogenous collagen substrate, are able to synthesize and secrete several extracellular-matrix collagenous proteins in proportions similar to those which are commonly found in muscle tissue and mixed cultures of muscle cells and fibroblasts.

Abstract
The lectin-binding patterns of the cells involved in amelogenesis and dentinogenesis in developing teeth of rats were studied. Undifferentiated odontogenic epithelia exhibited very slight staining with almost all of the lectins examined. The lectin-staining affinities of secretory ameloblasts could be divided into two categories: Concanavalin-A (Con-A), Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and Soybean agglutinin (SBA) binding occurred from the middle to apical cytoplasm, whereas Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I) and Ulex europeus I (UEA-I) binding predominated in the basal regions. The cells of the stratum intermedium exhibited relatively strange lectin staining, which appeared to be dependent on ameloblastic maturation. The basement membranes in undifferentiated epithelia were markedly positive for lectin binding. Odontoblasts showed moderate Con-A staining on the apical side of the cells, as well as slight-to-moderate reactions with WGA and SBA. Pulp cells and dental papillae showed slight-to-moderate lectin staining, and predentin and dentin were also moderately positive for Con-A and RCA-I binding and slightly so for WGA and SBA. The lectin-binding affinities were enhanced during the formation of enamel and dentin, and appeared to be dependent on the degree of cellular differentiation in ameloblasts and odontoblasts.

Abstract
Type I trimer is a collagen species, which is synthesized by many cell types under abnormal conditions or when derived from pathologically altered tissues, and by embryonic cell types. In order to investigate the susceptibility of type I trimer to mammalian collagenases, renatured type I trimer and type I collagens were incubated with human fibroblast and neutrophil enzymes and enzyme degradation was followed by viscometry and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A comparison of reaction rates determined by viscometry revealed that the type I trimer was degraded at less than one-fifth the rate of type I collagen by both enzymes. The human fibroblast collagenase had Km values of 8.4 +/- 1.6 and 6.3 +/- 0.7 microM for the type I trimer and type I collagens, respectively. These values were not significantly different. However the type I trimer had a kcat value of 10.6 +/- 2.0/hour which was only one fifth of 51.2 +/- 5.5/hour obtained for the type I collagen. From these results we conclude that the type I trimer collagen is a poor substrate for the skin and PMN collagenases relative to type I.

The predentine-dentine pieces with attached odontoblasts were incubated for up to 24 h in culture medium in 5 per cent CO2, humid air at 37 degrees C. The cultures were recovered and processed for light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Examination of the explants showed a homogeneous layer of odontoblasts attached to the dentinal surface. The odontoblasts had a normal structure and nuclear polarity similar to that seen in vivo. There were no apparent degenerative changes.

Abstract
Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that cell lines derived from early embryonic mouse sources produce procollagen and collagen and suggested that this material represents a new genetic type of collagen. Evidence was presented using carboxymethyl cellulose chromatography, analytical isoelectric focusing, cyanogen bromide peptide analysis, amino acid analysis, and carbohydrate analysis which demonstrated that this "embryonic" collagen consisted of three identical alpha-chains, distinctly different from types I, II and III and IV collagen and thus probably represented a new type of collagen. Further evidence is presented using Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease generated peptide maps and immunological studies using antisera prepared against "embryonic" collagen and procollagen. These data clearly demonstrated that "embryonic" collagen is clearly distinct from type I alpha-chains and represents a unique genetic species of collagen.

Numerous studies using amphibians have demonstrated that preodontoblasts emerging from the dental papilla are derived from cranial neural crest cells [4, 12, 46, 64]. However this has not been established for mammals. The history of odonotogenesis begins during the early stages of cranial-facial development when the maxillary and mandibular processes processes develop. Continuous epithelio-mesenchymal interactions condition the histogenesis and morphogenesis of the teeth [24-26, 43, 44, 49, 51, 58] as well as the terminal differentiation of odontoblasts and ameloblasts [23, 47, 52, 54, 59, 61, 67]. During recent years a considerable amount of experimental data relating to differentiation of odontoblasts has been published. We summarize these data and attempt to integrate them in deductive hypothesis concerning the control of odontoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Embryonic mouse tooth germs were cultured in vitro and the collagens type I, type III and type I trimer were purified and biochemically characterized. Collagen type I trimer has been identified by means of CM-cellulose chromatography, CNBr peptide analysis, pepsin resistance and molecular sieve chromatography. Already before the odontoblasts were functional, this molecule was found to be a constituent of the dental extracellular matrix. However, the synthesis of collagen type I trimer was considerably increased when odontoblasts polarized and became functional. the incorporation of 5-bromodeoxyuridine into the dental cells inhibited the polarization of odontoblasts as well as the amplification of collagen type I and type I trimer synthesis.

Abstract
Embryonic mouse first mandibular molars (day 18), containing the first overtly differentiated odontoblasts, were treated with EDTA or trypsin, to obtain isolated dental papillae. Trypsin dissociation was accompanied by disappearance of the basal lamina. EDTA-treatment removed the basal lamina from the basal surface of the epithelium, but left it associated with the dental papillae. EDTA- or trypsin-isolated dental papillae were grown for three to 24 h at the top of a plasma clot. Trypsin-isolated dental papillae rapidly lost their typical morphology, and the post-mitotic odontoblasts never became functional. EDTA-isolated dental papillae remained covered by the basal lamina for 15 to 18 h. During this period, the typical morphology was maintained, and post-mitotic odontoblasts secreted predentin. Preodontoblasts and odontoblasts went through the basal lamina and migrated at the outer surface of the basal lamina (i.e., at the side facing away from the enamel organ).
