Abstract Background The incisors and molars showed different patterns of tooth eruption in rodents and the dental follicle cells play key roles in tooth eruption. Little is known about the differences in incisors and molars dental follicle cells during tooth eruption in rodents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between incisor dental follicle cells and molar dental follicle cells during tooth eruption in rat.Methods Incisor dental follicle cells and molar dental follicle cells were obtained as previously described. Immunofluorescence was used to identify the cells. Gene expression was measured by real-time qPCR and western blot.Results Compared with molar dental follicle cells, the incisor dental follicle cells showed higher expression of OPG, BMP-2 and BMP-3. The molar dental follicle cells showed higher expression of MCP-1 and RANKL.Conclusions The expression patterns of genes related to tooth eruption were different in incisors and molars dental follicle cells in rat.

ABSTRACTSpatial transcriptomics seeks to integrate single-cell transcriptomic data within the 3-dimensional space of multicellular biology. Current methods use glass substrates pre-seeded with matrices of barcodes or fluorescence hybridization of a limited number of probes. We developed an alternative approach, called ‘ZipSeq’, that uses patterned illumination and photocaged oligonucleotides to serially print barcodes (Zipcodes) onto live cells within intact tissues, in real-time and with on-the-fly selection of patterns. Using ZipSeq, we mapped gene expression in three settings: in-vitro wound healing, live lymph node sections and in a live tumor microenvironment (TME). In all cases, we discovered new gene expression patterns associated with histological structures. In the TME, this demonstrated a trajectory of myeloid and T cell differentiation, from periphery inward. A variation of ZipSeq efficiently scales to the level of single cells, providing a pathway for complete mapping of live tissues, subsequent to real-time imaging or perturbation.

Colony-stimulating factor-one (CSF-1) and parathyroid-hormone-related protein (PTHrP) down-regulate osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene expression in the dental follicle of the rat first mandibular molar. To examine this regulation at the signal transduction level, we treated cultured dental follicle cells with either phorbolmyristate acetate (PMA) or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) to activate either protein kinase C (PKC) or protein kinase A (PKA). Our results demonstrate that PMA up-regulates OPG gene expression and down-regulates the expression of CSF-1 and the PTHrP receptor (PTHrP-R). Conversely, dbcAMP down-regulates OPG expression and up-regulates CSF-1 and PTHrP-R expression. Immunostaining shows that PMA also increases the steady-state levels of protein. Thus, treatment with agents that affect protein kinase activity also enhance the steady-state mRNA and protein levels of OPG, as well as decreasing the mRNA levels of CSF-1 and PTHrP-R. The PKC-α isoform may be critical in OPG regulation because PKC-α gene expression is enhanced by PMA and reduced by either CSF-1 or PTHrP.
