摘要: 目的:检测MMP-9基因敲除小鼠(MMP-9-/-)和野生型小鼠磨牙牙胚中釉原蛋白和成釉蛋白的表达。方法:使用免疫组化方法检测出生后2 d(P2)、5 d(P5)、7 d(P7)野生型小鼠和MMP-9-/-小鼠下颌磨牙牙胚中釉原蛋白和成釉蛋白的表达分布。结果:在P2时,釉原蛋白主要表达在成熟的成釉细胞胞、及其相邻的成牙本质细胞内,敲除MMP-9后,釉原蛋白的表达可扩散至牙乳头间充质;在P5和P7时,釉原蛋白的表达分布在野生型小鼠和MMP-9-/-小鼠中无差异,但在MMP-9-/-小鼠中釉原蛋白在成釉细胞中的表达量明显增强。在P2、P5和P7时,成釉蛋白的表达分布和表达量在野生型小鼠和MMP-9-/-小鼠中均无差异。结论:MMP-9可能通过酶切釉原蛋白而影响其表达分布。

Abstract: Objective: To detect the expressions of Amelogenin and Ameloblastin in wild-type mice and MMP-9 gene knock-out mice (MMP-9-/-). Methods: The expression levels of Amelogenin and Ameloblastin in tooth germs were detected with immunohistochemistry in wild-type and MMP-9-/- mice at post-natal day 2 (P2), 5 (P5), and 7 (P7). Results: At P2, Amelogenin was mainly expressed in matured ameloblasts and the underlying odontoblasts. However, in MMP-9-/- mice, the expression of amelogenin was expanded to the dental mesenchyme. No difference was found in the expression pattern of Amelogenin between wild-type mice and MMP-9-/- mice at P5 and P7. However, the expression level of Amelogenin in ameloblasts was highly increased in MMP-9-/- mice compared with that in wild-type mice. No obvious differences were detected in the expression pattern or expression level of Ameloblastin between wild-type mice and MMP-9-/- mice at P2, P5, and P7. Conclusion: MMP-9 might be able to degrade Amelogenin, and further influence the expression pattern of Amelogenin.
