Mouse의 치아 발육시 Runx2의 발현 양상 = EXPRESSION PATTERN OF RUNX2 IN MURINE TOOTH DEVELOPMENT

국문 초록 (Abstract)

Runx2는 runt gene family에 속하는 전사조절 인자로써 뼈의 형성과 골아세포의 분화에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. Runx2-haploinsufficency는 쇄골의 저형성 및 두개 봉합의 지연을 특징으로 하는 쇄골두개 이형성증을 일으키며, 치아에 있어서는 법랑질의 저형성, 영구치 맹출지연 등을 보인다. 이에, 치아의 발육 및 맹출에 미치는 Runx2의 영향을 알아보기 위해 in situ hybridization 방법으로 태생 1, 4, 7, 14. 21일 된 쥐의 하악 및 제1대구치를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였다. Runx2-full length는 태생 1일과 4일에 치낭 및 주위조직에 보이지만 Runx2-typeⅡ는 보이지 않았다. Runx2-full length는 태생 7일에 치관 교합면 부위의 법랑모세포에 발현하였고, 1주일 후인 태생 14일에는 백악법랑경계 상방의 치관인 접면 법랑모세포에서 발현되었다. 이에 반해 Runx2-typeⅡ는 법랑모세포에서 발현하지 않았다. 또한 태생 21일에서는 두가지 이성질체가 모두 하악골에서 발현을 보였다. 이런 결과를 종합해볼 때, Runx2-full length는 치아의 맹출과 연관이 있으며, 법랑모세포의 분화 및 이로 인한 법랑질형성에 영향을 주지만 Runx2-typeⅡ는 하악골의 형성에만 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Runx2 is a transcription factor in homologous with Drosophila runt gene and it is essential for bone formation during embryogenesis and a critical gene for osteoblast differentiation and osteoblast function. Runx2-haploinsufficency causes cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). CCD is an autosomal-dominant inherited disorder characterized by hypoplastic clevicle and delayed ossification in fontanelles and wormian bones. Dental defects are possibly shown to CCD patients : multiple supernumerary teeth, irregular and compressed permanent tooth crowns, hypoplastic and hypomineralized defects in enamel and dentin, an excess of epithelial root remnants, the absence of cellular cementum, and abnormally shaped roots. In addition, delayed eruption of the secondary dentition is a constant finding.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of Runx2 in the tooth development and eruption through analyzing the expression pattern of Runx2 by in situ hybridization during crown (late bell stage) and root formation of tooth, using postnatal day 1, 4, 7, 14 and 21 mice mandibular molar teeth. mRNA of Runx2-full length is expressed in dental follicle and surrounding tissue at postnatal day1 and 4. At post-natal day 7, it is expressed in ameloblasts of occlusal surface of enamel and bone area surrounding the tooth. In comparison with previous stage, at postnatal day 14, it is expressed in ameloblasts of proximal surface of enamel. At postnatal day 21 it's expression is observed only in bone area. mRNA of Runx2-typeⅡ is not expressed At postnatal day 1 and 7. At postnatal day 14 and 21, it's expression is observed in the bone area.
In this study, we suggest that Runx2 have a relation of ameloblasts differentiation and an important role to tooth eruption made by dental follicle during intraosseous eruption stage. Also we can confirm that Runx2 has a role to bone formation.
