Transcription profiling of mouse incisor tooth germ to associate changes in levels of mRNAs with development of enamel structure

ABSTRACT: The tooth is a convenient experimental model for the study of the basic mechanisms of organ development, including differentiation, cellular interaction, morphogenesis, and production and mineralization of extracellular matrices. The rodent incisor teeth grow continuously and exhibit all stages of tooth development at any time. This characteristic makes them convenient models for the study of enamel formation, which occurs in several distinct stages along the tooth axis. The distribution and structure of mouse incisor enamel resemble that of the rat. The enamel covers only the labial aspect of the tooth, and can be divided into four layers: a thin inner prism-free layer, inner enamel with prism decussation, i.e. transverse rows of prisms with prisms inclined medially and laterally in alter
