Collagen gene expression during mouse molar tooth development was studied by quantitative in situ hybridization techniques. Different expression patterns of type I and type III collagen mRNAs were observed in the various mesenchymal tissues that constitute the tooth germ. High concentration for pro-alpha 1(I) and pro-alpha 2(I) collagen mRNAs were found within the osteoblasts. We found that the cellular content of type I collagen mRNAs in the odontoblasts varies throughout the tooth formation: whereas mRNA concentration for pro-alpha 1(I) collagen decreases and that of pro-alpha 2(I) increases, during postnatal development. Moreover, different amounts of pro-alpha 1(I) and pro-alpha 2(I) collagen mRNAs were observed in crown and root odontoblasts, respectively. Type III collagen mRNAs were detected in most of the mesenchymal cells, codistributed with type I collagen mRNAs, except in odontoblasts and osteoblasts. Finally, this study reports differential accumulation of collagen mRNAs during mouse tooth development and points out that type I collagen gene expression is regulated by distinct mechanisms during odontoblast differentiation process. These results support the independent expression of the collagen genes under developmental tissue-specific control.

We analyzed the control of type I collagen synthesis in four kinds of differentiated cells from chicken embryos which synthesize very different amounts of the protein. Tendon, skin, and smooth muscle cells were found to have identical amounts of type I collagen RNAs; however, the RNAs had inherently different translatabilities, which were observed both in vivo and in vitro. Chondrocytes also had substantial amounts of type I collagen RNAs, even though they directed no detectable synthesis of the protein either in vivo or in vitro. Type I collagen RNAs in chondrocytes display altered electrophoretic mobilities, suggesting that in these cells the reduction in translational efficiency may be mediated in part by changes in the RNA structure. These data indicate that control of type I collagen gene expression is a complex process which is exerted at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.
