Journal ArticleDOI

Dentin phosphoprotein and dentin sialoprotein are cleavage products expressed from a single transcript coded by a gene on human chromosome 4 : dentin phosphoprotein dna sequence determination

TL;DR: The data suggest that the previously identified dentin extracellular matrix proteins, dentin sialoprotein and dentin phosphoprotein, are expressed as a single cDNA transcript coding for a protein that is specifically cleaved into two smaller polypeptides with unique physical-chemical characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and characterization of multipotent human periodontal ligament stem cells

TL;DR: The PDL contains SC that have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes, comparable with previously characterized BMSC, and can be utilized for potential therapeutic procedures related to PDL regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression patterns of murine dentin matrix protein 1 (Dmp1) and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) suggest distinct developmental functions in vivo

TL;DR: The in vivo temporospatial expression patterns of two dentin NCP genes, dentin matrix protein 1 (Dmp1), and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) in developing molars are compared, implying that these molecules serve different biological functions in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deletion of dentin matrix protein-1 leads to a partial failure of maturation of predentin into dentin, hypomineralization, and expanded cavities of pulp and root canal during postnatal tooth development.

TL;DR: It is shown that Dmp-1 null mice postnatally develop a profound tooth phenotype characterized by a partial failure of maturation ofpredentin into dentin, enlarged pulp chambers, increased width of predentin zone with reduced dentin wall, and hypomineralization, which suggests that DMP-1 is essential for later dentinogenesis during postnatal development.
