Low molecular mass amelogenin-related
polypeptides extracted from mineralized dentin have the ability to
affect the differentiation pathway of embryonic muscle
fibroblasts in culture and lead to the formation of mineralized
matrix in in vivo implants. The objective of the present
study was to determine whether the bioactive peptides could have been
amelogenin protein degradation products or specific amelogenin gene
splice products. Thus, the splice products were prepared, and their
activities were determined in vitro and in vivo. A rat incisor tooth odontoblast pulp cDNA library was
screened using probes based on the peptide amino acid sequencing data. Two specific cDNAs comprised from amelogenin gene exons
2,3,4,5,6d,7 and 2,3,5,6d,7 were identified. The corresponding
recombinant proteins, designated r[A+4] (8.1 kDa) and r[A 4] (6.9 kDa), were produced. Both peptides enhanced in vitro
sulfate incorporation into proteoglycan, the induction of type II
collagen, and Sox9 or Cbfa1 mRNA expression. In vivo
implant assays demonstrated implant mineralization accompanied by
vascularization and the presence of the bone matrix proteins, BSP and
BAG-75. We postulate that during tooth development these specific
amelogenin gene splice products, [A+4] and [A 4], may have a role
in preodontoblast maturation. The [A+4] and [A 4] may thus be
tissue-specific epithelial mesenchymal signaling molecules.
