The disintegrin and metalloproteinase Adam10 is a membrane-bound sheddase that regulates Notch signaling and ensures epidermal integrity. To address the function of Adam10 in the continuously growing incisors, we used Keratin14 ;Adam10 transgenic mice, in which Adam10 is conditionally deleted in the dental epithelium. Keratin14 ;Adam10 mice exhibited severe abnormalities, including defective enamel formation reminiscent of human enamel pathologies. Histological analyses of mutant incisors revealed absence of stratum intermedium, and severe disorganization of enamel-secreting ameloblasts. hybridization and immunostaining analyses in the Keratin14 ;Adam10 incisors showed strong downregulation in dental epithelium and ectopic distribution of enamel-specific molecules, including ameloblastin and amelogenin. Lineage tracing studies using Notch1 ;R26 mice demonstrated that loss of the stratum intermedium cells was due to their fate switch toward the ameloblast lineage. Overall, our data reveal that in the continuously growing incisors the Adam10/Notch axis controls dental epithelial cell boundaries, cell fate switch and proper enamel formation.
解整合素金属蛋白酶Adam10是一种膜结合型蛋白酶,可调节Notch信号并确保表皮完整性。为了研究Adam10在不断生长的切牙中的功能,我们使用了Keratin14;Adam10转基因小鼠,其中Adam10在牙齿上皮中被条件性敲除。Keratin14;Adam10小鼠表现出严重异常,包括釉质形成缺陷,类似于人类釉质病变。对突变切牙的组织学分析显示,中间层缺失,分泌釉质的成釉细胞严重紊乱。对Keratin14;Adam10切牙进行原位杂交和免疫染色分析显示,牙齿上皮中表达强烈下调,釉质特异性分子包括釉蛋白和成釉蛋白异位分布。使用Notch1;R26小鼠进行的谱系追踪研究表明,中间层细胞的缺失是由于它们向成釉细胞谱系的命运转变。总体而言,我们的数据表明,在不断生长的切牙中,Adam10/Notch轴控制牙齿上皮细胞边界、细胞命运转变和正常釉质形成。
