Defects in tooth development in Bcl11btm1.2Leid/Bcl11btm1.2Leid mice

craniofacial
• incisors are slightly smaller than in controls at all stages examined
• at E14.5 incisor buds are smaller with an elongated dental cord and this defect persists at E16.5
• at E16.5 cells resembling ameloblasts are found on both the labial and lingual sides of incisors unlike in controls where these cells are confined to the labial side
• at E16.5 an expansion of the epithelium is seen on the lingual side and the stellate reticulum on the labial side is indiscernible
• at E16.5 the outer enamel epithelium is hypoplastic and the odontoblasts appear disorganized
• incisors are slightly smaller than in controls at all stages examined
• molars are slightly smaller than in controls at all stages examined
• at E14.5 molar buds are smaller with a slightly elongated dental cord
• at E16.5 and E18.5 molars are smaller and underdeveloped with a poorly defined enamel knot and hypoplastic stellate reticulum
• at E14.5 incisor and molar buds are smaller with an elongated dental cord and this defect persists at E16.5
• at E16.5 odontoblasts appear disorganized but this effect is less severe than the disruption of cells of the ameloblast lineage
• at E16.5 the ameloblasts appear disorganized and are not polarized unlike in controls
• at E16.5 cells resembling ameloblasts are found on both the labial and lingual sides of incisors unlike in controls where these cells are confined to the labial side, indicating loss of lingual/labial asymmetry of ameloblasts
• at E18.5 expression analysis indicates that ameloblast differentiation and structural integrity are impaired
• at E16.5, the stellate reticulum on the labial side of incisors is indiscernible/reduced
• at E16.5 and E18.5, molars display a hypoplastic stellate reticulum
• at E16.5 and E18.5, molars show a poorly defined enamel knot
• the outer enamel epithelium is hypoplastic
• at E14.5 incisor buds are smaller with an elongated dental cord and this defect persists at E16.5
• at E14.5 molar buds are smaller with a slightly elongated dental cord
