Background: The primary dentin, secondary dentin, and reactive tertiary dentin are formed by terminal differentiated odontoblasts, whereas atubular reparative tertiary dentin is formed by odontoblast-like cells. Odontoblast-like cells differentiate from pulpal stem cells, which express the neural stem cell markers nestin, S100 beta, Sox10, and P0. The denticle (pulp stone) is an unique ...
Abstract
Background: The primary dentin, secondary dentin, and reactive tertiary dentin are formed by terminal differentiated odontoblasts, whereas atubular reparative tertiary dentin is formed by odontoblast-like cells. Odontoblast-like cells differentiate from pulpal stem cells, which express the neural stem cell markers nestin, S100 beta, Sox10, and P0. The denticle (pulp stone) is an unique mineralized extracellular matrix that frequently occurs in association with the neurovascular structures in the dental pulp. However, to date, the cellular origin of denticles in human dental pulp is unclear. In addition, the non-collagenous extracellular dentin matrix proteins dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), dentin sialoprotein (DSP), and dentin phosphoprotein (DPP) have been well characterized in the dentin matrix, whereas their role in the formation and mineralization of the denticle matrix remains to be clarified. Methods: To characterize the formation of denticle, healthy human third molars (n = 59) were completely sectioned and evaluated by HE staining in different layers at 720 mu m intervals. From these samples, molars with (n = 5) and without denticles (n = 8) were selected. Using consecutive cryo-sections from a layer containing denticles of different sizes, we examined DMP1, DSP, and DPP in denticle lining cells and tested their co -localizations with the glial stem cell markers nestin, S100 beta, Sox10, and P0 by quantitative and double staining methods. Results: DMP1, DSP and DPP were found in odontoblasts, whereas denticle lining cells were positive only for DMP1 and DSP but not for DPP. Nestin was detected in both odontoblasts and denticle lining cells. S100 beta, Sox10, and P0 were co-localized with DMP1 and DSP in different subpopulations of denticle lining cells. Conclusions: The co-localization of S100 beta, Sox10, and P0 with DMP1 and DSP in denticle lining cells suggest that denticle lining cells are originated from glial and/or endoneurial mesenchymal stem cells which are involved in biomineralization of denticle matrix by secretion of DMP1 and DSP. Since denticles are atubular compared to primary, secondary, reactionary tertiary dentin and denticle formed by odontoblasts, our results suggest that DPP could be one of the proteins involved in the complex regulation of dentinal tubule formation.
