Abstract
Abstract
To determine whether the action of the PTHrP nuclear localization sequence and C terminus is mediated through p27 in modulating dental and mandibular development, compound mutant mice, which are homozygous for both p27 deletion and the PTHrP1–84 knock-in mutation (p27−/−PthrpKI/KI), were generated. Their teeth and mandibular phenotypes were compared with those of p27−/−, PthrpKUK\ and wild-type mice. At 2 weeks of age, the mandibular mineral density, alveolar bone volume, osteoblast numbers, and dental volume, dentin sialoprotein-immunopo-sitive areas in the first molar were increased significantly in p27−/− mice and decreased dramatically in both PthrpKI/KI and p27−/− PthrpKI/KI mice compared with wild-type mice; however, these parameters were partly rescued in p27−/− PthrpKI/KI mice compared with PthrpKI/KI mice. These data demonstrate that the deletion of p27 in PthrpKI/KI mice can partially rescue defects in dental and mandibular development. Furthermore, we found that deletion of p27 in PthrpKI/KI mice partially corrected the dental and mandibular phenotype by modulating cell cyclin-regulating molecules and antioxidant enzymes. This study therefore indicates that the p27 pathway may function downstream in the action of PTHrP nuclear localization sequence to regulate dental and mandibular development.
