In the current study, we manipulated heterogenous recombination between human and mouse dental tissues and demonstrated that the dental mesenchyme dominates the tooth developmental tempo and FGF8 could be a critical player during this developmental process. Forced activation of FGF8 signaling in the dental mesenchyme of mice promoted cell proliferation, prevented cell apoptosis via p38 and perhaps PI3 K-Akt intracellular signaling,and impelled the transition of the cell cycle from G1-to S-phase in the tooth germ, resulting in the slowdown of the tooth developmental pace. Our results provide compelling evidence that extrinsic signals can profoundly affect tooth developmental tempo, and the dental mesenchymal FGF8 could be a pivotal factor in controlling the developmental pace in a non-cell-autonomous manner during mammalian odontogenesis.展开更多

The target products could be obtained in good to excellent yields at room temperature.展开更多
