Influence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on cell proliferation during odontogenesis of the mouse embryonic molarsIn vitro

Abstract: Mandibular first molars from 17-day-old mouse embryos were cultured for 2 and 4 days in alpha-MEM supplemented with 10% newborn bovine serum containing 0.02% ethanol or 0.1, 1.0 or 10 ng/ml 1,25-(OH)2D3. After embedding, every 6th section was stained and mitotic features of inner dental epithelium (IDE) and dental papilla cells (DP) were counted under a light microscope. On the 2nd day, no significant differences were observed in the IDE and DP mitotic indexes among the control, ethanol, and the three vitamin … Show more

“…A distinct up‐regulation characterized the last step of ameloblast differentiation when mitosis arrest occurs. In vitro studies have suggested that 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 affects cell proliferation in tooth germ (46) . Therefore, both nuclear‐ and membrane‐initiated pathways may participate to the vitamin D‐dependent epithelial‐mesenchymal cascade leading to proper dental morphogenesis and differentiation.…”

“…Supportive evidence for vitamin D sites of action in teeth was provided from immunohistochemical studies with antibodies to vitamin D receptor protein that was localized in precursor cells, differentiated ameloblasts, and odontoblasts, together with calbindin-D 28K antibodies in odontoblasts (17). Incubation of mouse embryonic molars with 1,25(OHh vitamin D 3 resulted in an increase of the mitotic index of inner dental epithelium, indicating effects on cell proliferation (18). Similarly, in vitamin D-deficient rats, in postnatal molar tooth germ development, vitamin D treatment enhanced cytodifferentiation of pulp cells as well as enamel and dentin mineralization (19).…”
