MEPE Localization in the Craniofacial Complex and Function in Tooth Dentin Formation

Abstract: Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) is an extracellular matrix protein found in dental and skeletal tissues. Although information regarding the role of MEPE in bone and disorders of phosphate metabolism is emerging, the role of MEPE in dental tissues remains unclear. We performed RNA in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry analyses to delineate the expression pattern of MEPE during embryonic and postnatal development in craniofacial mineralizing tissues. Mepe RNA expression was seen within t… Show more

“…Among genes harboring an excess of HF SNCs associated with specific facial features, we find RUNX2 , EDAR , and GLI3 133 , NFATC1 134 , SPOP 135 , DDR2 136 and NELL1 137 , possibly carrying changes in regulatory regions, while mutations in the HHMC-carrying gene encoding for the transcription factor ATRX cause facial dysmorphism 138 . In addition, genes with HHMCs such as PLXNA2 139 , EVC2 140 , MEPE 141 , OMD 142 , and SPAG17 143 are known to affect craniofacial bone and tooth morphologies. These genes appear to be important in determining bone density, mineralization and remodeling, hence they may underlie differences between archaic and modern human facial growth 144 .…”

“…Loss of either Dspp or Dmp1 in mice causes changes in acellular cementum, however it remains unclear if this is due to a direct role of the associated proteins in cementogenesis, or indirect effects of wider changes in the periodontium or mineral metabolism [26, 93–95]. While MEPE has been shown to regulate skeletal mineralization, its role in dental development has only been recently investigated, implicating the protein in dentinogenesis and amelogenesis, whereas its role in cementum formation remains undefined [96]. …”
