Expression ofsyndecan-1, 2, 3, and4mRNAs during the late stages of tooth germ formation was investigated by in situ hybridization, using [35S]-UTP-labeled cRNA probes.Syndecan-1mRNA was mainly expressed in the stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium as well as at the cervical region of dental papilla/dental follicle during E18.5-P3.0. Expression in the dental epithelium was enhanced during the postnatal periods, which was supported by real-time RT-PCR analysis. These spatiotemporal expression patterns may suggest specific roles of syndecan-1 in tooth formation such as tooth eruption or root formation.Syndecan-3mRNA expression became evident in odontoblasts at E18.5, but compared tocollagen type ImRNA, which was strongly expressed at this stage,syndecan-3expression in odontoblast was restricted in mature odontoblasts beneath the cusps during the postnatal periods. This result was also supported by real-time RT-PCR analysis, and indicated that syndecan-3 may be involved in the progress of dentinogenesis rather than in the initiation of it.Syndecan-4mRNA roughly showed comparable expression patterns to those ofsyndecan-3.Syndecan-2mRNA did not show significant expression during the experimental period, but real-time RT-PCR analysis suggested thatsyndecan-2expression might be enhanced with hard tissue formation.
