    Notes: Abstract NCAM, the neural cell adhesion molecule, was immunolocalized in the mandibular first molar tooth germ of the mouse. NCAM was first detected in the tooth germ of the late bud stage, where only the cells in the outer part of the condensed mesenchyme (primitive dental follicle) exhibited faint immunoreactivity. The entire dental follicle was intensely immunostained for NCAM from cap stage to the stage when root formation started. During root formation, NCAM disappeared from the follicular tissue surrounding the cervical root as well as from the part covering the crown top. This loss of NCAM proceeded in the direction of the root apex, but even after the tooth had achieved functional occlusion, NCAM was still expressed by the mesenchymal cells adjacent to the root apex. On the other hand, NCAM was negative in the dental papilla until birth. After birth, NCAM-immunoreactivity appeared in the basal portion of the dental papilla, but this NCAM-positive area gradually diminished in width during the root elongation. Instead, another NCAM-positive zone appeared in the core of the pulp during root formation. Even in the tooth that had already erupted, the pulp core contained cells that were strongly positive for NCAM immunostaining. In addition to its expression in the above two mesenchymal cell lineages, NCAM was transiently expressed by epithelial components of the tooth germ, some of the cells of the dental lamina and the enamel organ. The results suggest that NCAM participates in several processes of tooth development.

    Notes: Abstract Distribution of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) during the development of the mandibular second- and third-molars of the mouse was studied by indirect immunofluorescence techniques. At the initial stage, NCAM was intensely expressed by the mesenchymal cells surrounding the dental lamina, and by the cap stage NCAM expression by the mesenchymal cells became restricted to the dental follicle. After that, in addition to the follicular mesenchyme, some cells in the basal part of the dental papilla showed NCAM-immunoreactivity for a while after the hard tissue formation had started. During root formation, the follicular cells lost NCAM first from the level of the cervical root and later from the coronal part, while an additional NCAM positive area appeared deep in the dental papilla. Even after the teeth had erupted, NCAM was expressed in the tissue surrounding the apical root and in the pulp core. During the initial and bud stages, the pattern of NCAM expression in the second and third molars was different from that in the first molar, where NCAM was found only after the late bud stage; while from the cap stage onward, it changed in the same sequence as in the first molar. The different pattern of NCAM expression implies that there is a difference in developmental events between the early stages of the first and the other two molars. On the other hand, the common sequence of NCAM expression in the tooth germs later than the cap stage suggests that NCAM plays an essential role in the formation of the basic structure of the teeth and periodontal tissues.

    Notes: Summary The olfactory epithelium of mice after axotomy was investigated to clarify the stem cells of olfactory cells by double immunostaining using antikeratin (MA903) and anti-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) antibodies and by conventional electron microscopy. When a single dose of BrdU was given to mice 9 days after axotomy, immunostaining for BrdU was found in the globose basal cells which were negative for MA903, but not in the basal cells proper which were positive for MA903. The BrdU-immunoreactive cells increased 3-to 6-fold over the number of these cells in the controls, indicating active cell proliferation. At other postoperative days (4 and 14 days), fewer BrdU-immunoreactive cells were found. Furthermore, three pulses of BrdU resulted in numerous BrdU-immunolabelings in the globose basal cells and a few in the basal cells proper. There was no detectable difference in the number of labeled basal cells proper in operated and unoperated mice. In the electron micrographs 9 days after axotomy, the basal cells proper, flat-shaped in unoperated mice, appeared cylindrical or pyramidal in shape and the globose basal cells often lay between the basal cells proper. In unoperated controls, the globose basal cells were located above the flat-shaped basal cells proper. The results suggest that the stem cells of the olfactory cells are globose basal cells and not basal cells proper, and that the shape of basal cells proper changes in relation to the active proliferation of stem cells.
