The mineralized tissue of the tooth is composed of enamel, dentin, cementum, and alveolar bone; enamel is a calcified tissue with no living cells that originates from oral ectoderm, while the three other tissues derive from the cranial neural crest. The fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are critical during the tooth development. Accumulating evidence has shown that the formation of dental tissues, that is, enamel, dentin, and supporting alveolar bone, as well as the development and homeostasis of the stem cells in the continuously growing mouse incisor is mediated by multiple FGF family members. This review discusses the role of FGF signaling in these mineralized tissues, trying to separate its different functions and highlighting the crosstalk between FGFs and other signaling pathways.
牙齿的矿化组织由牙釉质、牙本质、牙骨质和牙槽骨组成;牙釉质是一种无活细胞的钙化组织,起源于口腔外胚层,而其他三种组织则来源于颅神经嵴。成纤维细胞生长因子(FGFs)在牙齿发育过程中至关重要。越来越多的证据表明,牙齿组织(即牙釉质、牙本质和支持性牙槽骨)的形成,以及持续生长的小鼠切牙中干细胞的发育和稳态,是由多个FGF家族成员介导的。本综述讨论了FGF信号在这些矿化组织中的作用,试图区分其不同功能,并强调FGFs与其他信号通路之间的相互作用。
