title: Peroxisomes in dental tissues of the mouse.
abstract: Patients with mild forms of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders show facial dysmorphism and exhibit dentition problems accompanied by enamel hypoplasia. However, no information is available on the role of peroxisomes in dental and paradontal tissues. Therefore, we studied the distribution of these organelles, their protein composition and the expression of corresponding genes during dental development and in mature decalcified teeth in mice. Perfusion-fixed heads of mice of different developmental stages (E13.5 to adult) were cut in sagittal direction into two halves and embedded in paraffin for serial sectioning and subsequent peroxidase-based immunohistochemistry or double-immunofluorescence preparations. Frozen, unfixed heads of newborn mice were used for cryosectioning and subsequent laser-assisted microdissection of ameloblasts and odontoblasts, RNA isolation and RT-PCR analysis. Our results revealed the presence of peroxisomes already in the bud stage of dental development. An increase in peroxisome abundance was noted during differentiation of ameloblasts and odontoblasts with the highest number of organelles in Tomes' processes of mature ameloblasts. A strong heterogeneity of peroxisomal enzyme content developed within differentiated dental cell types. A drastic down-regulation of catalase in maturing ameloblasts was noted in contrast to high levels of lipid metabolizing enzymes in peroxisomes of these cells. As known from the literature, differentiated ameloblasts are more prone to oxidative damage which could be explained by the low catalase levels inside of this cell type.
