Identification and characterization of integrin-binding sialoprotein (IBSP) genes in reptile and amphibianSeikou Shintani
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Tokyo Dental College, 1 2 2 Masago, Mihama ku, Chiba 261 8502, Japan
Gene 424:11-7. 2008..Furthermore, analysis of the sequences suggested that the IBSP molecule might have gradually intensified its functions related to calcification during its evolutionary process through tetrapods...
Identification and characterization of matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP20; enamelysin) genes in reptile and amphibianSeikou Shintani
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, 1 8 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565 0871, Japan
Gene 392:89-97. 2007..These results suggest that MMP20 in a common ancestor of tetrapods might have been recruited for the processing of AMEL and conserved over 350 million years of evolution...
Identification and characterization of ameloblastin gene in an amphibian, Xenopus laevisSeikou Shintani
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, 1 8 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565 0871, Japan
Gene 318:125-36. 2003..As for exon 7, it was absent in both toad genes. Moreover, the AMBN genes were transcribed only in the upper jaw, presumably in teeth. These results may provide useful information for investigation of the evolution of enamel...
Expression of ameloblastin during enamel formation in a crocodileSeikou Shintani
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, 1 8 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565 0871, Japan
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol 306:126-33. 2006..The principal molecules that provide the adhesive function are presumably C-terminal peptides...
Histological and immunohistochemical analyses of molar tooth germ in enamelin-deficient mouseTakashi Sawada
Department of Ultrastructural Science, Tokyo Dental College, Masago, Mihama ku, Chiba, Japan
Acta Histochem 113:542-6. 2011..No enamel-like structure, however, was observed in the cusp of the crown. These results suggest that enamelin acts as an adhesion molecule and is involved in ameloblast cell differentiation during the early stages of tooth development...
Distribution of 10 periodontal bacteria in saliva samples from Japanese children and their mothersKiyoko Tamura
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, 1-8 Yamada-oka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan
Arch Oral Biol 51:371-7. 2006..CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate a correlation between the presence of periodontal bacteria in children and their mothers, while the presence of red complex bacteria in children was highly associated with that in their mothers...
Relationship of vitamin D with calbindin D9k and D28k expression in ameloblastsTomoyuki Onishi
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, 1 8 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565 0871, Japan
Arch Oral Biol 53:117-23. 2008..In the present study, we evaluated the effects of vitamin D on the expressions of CB9k and CB28k during amelogenesis...
Specific behavior of intracellular Streptococcus pyogenes that has undergone autophagic degradation is associated with bacterial streptolysin O and host small G proteins Rab5 and Rab7Atsuo Sakurai
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Tokyo Dental College, 1 2 2 Masago, Mihama ku, Chiba 261 8502, Japan
J Biol Chem 285:22666-75. 2010..This intracellular behavior of GAS is unique and distinct from that of other types of bacterial invaders. Our results provide a new picture of GAS infection and host-cell responses in epithelial cells...
[Genetic basis for skeletal disease. Dental management of patients with bone diseases]Seikou Shintani
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Tokyo Dental College
Clin Calcium 20:1259-65. 2010..In this article, dental management of the patients with bone diseases such as X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, osteogenesis imperfecta, and hypophosphatasia was presented...
