BACKGROUND: Although numerous reports have demonstrated that the junctional epithelium (JE) is derived from the reduced enamel epithelium (REE), the fate of the REE-derived JE remains controversial. The present study elucidated the fate of the REE-derived JE and the cell dynamics of stem/progenitor cells in the JE following tooth eruption.
METHODS: Mandibular first molar germs (embryonic days 15 to postnatal 1-day-old) were transplanted into the socket of 2-week-old mice after extraction of the upper first molars of B6 wild-type (WT) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice. After analysis by µ-CT, paraffin sections were processed for immunohistochemistry for Nestin, Ki67 and GFP. We also performed chasing analysis using BrdU-administered TetOP-H2B-GFP mice.
RESULTS: Amelogenesis progressed normally in the cervical areas, and the structure of the JE was like that in normal tooth development. The JE was GFP-negative in transplantations using GFP transgenic mice as the host, and the oral epithelium (OE) showed a positive reaction. By contrast, the JE remained GFP-positive throughout the experimental period in transplantations using GFP transgenic mice as the donor. Chasing analysis revealed that H2B-GFP- and 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeled cells in the basal side of the JE translocated to oral side of the JE as the chasing time increased. Some label-retaining cells remained at the supra-basal cell layer in the JE.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that REE-derived cell niche in the JE is maintained for a long time following tooth eruption. Therefore, the JE may be available as the source of the odontogenic epithelium.
