Expression of p63 during early craniofacial development of the mouse embryo

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

p63 has been demonstrated to localize in stem cells and precursor cells of various epithelial tissues previously, but the localization of p63 throughout tooth formation, particularly during the enamel and root formation stages, remains to be adequately characterized. Therefore, in this study, we have demonstrated, via immunohistochemical methods, that p63 is ubiquitously expressed in the dental epithelium during tooth development. p63 was detected in the basal and suprabasal layers of the epithelia, including the skin, hair follicles, oral mucosa, and submandibular ducts. However, in the tooth region, all cells of the dental lamina, enamel organ, Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS), and epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM) evidenced immunoreactivity for p63. These results indicate that p63 may perform different roles, other than stem cell maintenance, in tooth development.
