项目摘要

Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is one of the acidic phosphoproteins originally identified from a rat incisor cDNA library. DMP1 has abundant acidic domains and a large number of phosphorylation consensus sites for casein kinase I and II, which are negatively charged at physiological pH. Therefore, DMP1 likely binds with calcium and may regulate matrix mineralization.We demonstrated that DMP1 mRNA was predominantly expressed in osteocytes but not in osteoblasts and that DMP1 protein was in the pericellular bone matrix of osteocytes, while other bone matrix proteins including osteohalcin, osteopontin and bone sialoprotein were expressed in osteoblasts. We determined the precise expression pattern of DMP1 mRNA and localization of its protein in dentin and cementum. The localization of DMP1 mRNA and DMP1 protein in bone and tooth was closely related to their mineralization, suggesting that DMP1 plays an important role in mineraliztion.To elucidate the function of DMPI in vivo, we generated transenic mice that overexpressed DMP1 in osteoblasts and odontoblasts using type I collagen promoter. In DMP1 transgenic mice, trabecular bone the metaphysis was dramatically decrease. However, the number of osteoclasts was not increased, although the functional level of osteoclasts was not studied. The bone density of cortical bone near the metaphysis was increased. Northern blot analysis demonstrated no change of the production of the bone matrix. These findings suggested that DMP1 promotes the rate of bone mineralization process, although the significance of DMP1 expression specific for osteocytes was not yet known.

牙本质基质蛋白1（DMP1）是最初从大鼠门牙cDNA文库中鉴定出来的酸性磷蛋白之一。 DMP1具有丰富的酸性结构域和酪蛋白激酶I和II的大量磷酸化共识位点，它们在生理pH值下均为负电荷。 Therefore, DMP1 likely binds with calcium and may regulate matrix mineralization.We demonstrated that DMP1 mRNA was predominantly expressed in osteocytes but not in osteoblasts and that DMP1 protein was in the pericellular bone matrix of osteocytes, while other bone matrix proteins including osteohalcin, osteopontin and bone sialoprotein were用成骨细胞表达。我们确定了DMP1 mRNA的精确表达模式及其蛋白质在牙本质和牙骨质中的定位。 DMP1 mRNA和DMP1蛋白在骨骼和牙齿中的定位与它们的矿化密切相关，这表明DMP1在矿物化中起重要作用。为了阐明体内DMPI的功能，我们在体内产生了过表达DMP1在Osteoblasts和Odonteoblasts and Odontotoblasts中过表达DMP1的功能。在DMP1转基因小鼠中，小梁骨大幅减少。然而，尽管没有研究破骨细胞的功能水平，但没有增加破骨细胞的数量。地形分析附近的皮质骨的骨密度增加了。北印迹分析表明骨基质的产生没有变化。这些发现表明，DMP1促进了骨矿化过程的速率，尽管尚不清楚DMP1表达对骨细胞的意义。
