Description:
Mesenchymal stem cells occupy niches in stromal tissues where they provide sources of cells for specialized mesenchymal derivatives during growth and repair. The origins of mesenchymal stem cells have been the subject of considerable discussion, and current consensus holds that perivascular cells form mesenchymal stem cells in most tissues. The continuously growing mouse incisor tooth offers an excellent model to address the origin of mesenchymal stem cells. These stem cells dwell in a niche at the tooth apex where they produce a variety of differentiated derivatives. Cells constituting the tooth are mostly derived from two embryonic sources: neural crest ectomesenchyme and ectodermal epithelium. It has been thought for decades that the dental mesenchymal stem cells giving rise to pulp cells and odontoblasts derive from neural crest cells after their migration in the early head and formation of ectomesenchymal tissue. Here we show that a significant population of mesenchymal stem cells during development, self-renewal and repair of a tooth are derived from peripheral nerve-associated glia. Glial cells generate multipotent mesenchymal stem cells that produce pulp cells and odontoblasts. By combining a clonal colour-coding technique with tracing of peripheral glia, we provide new insights into the dynamics of tooth organogenesis and growth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kaukua, Nina -- Shahidi, Maryam Khatibi -- Konstantinidou, Chrysoula -- Dyachuk, Vyacheslav -- Kaucka, Marketa -- Furlan, Alessandro -- An, Zhengwen -- Wang, Longlong -- Hultman, Isabell -- Ahrlund-Richter, Lars -- Blom, Hans -- Brismar, Hjalmar -- Lopes, Natalia Assaife -- Pachnis, Vassilis -- Suter, Ueli -- Clevers, Hans -- Thesleff, Irma -- Sharpe, Paul -- Ernfors, Patrik -- Fried, Kaj -- Adameyko, Igor -- G0901599/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117537087/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2014 Sep 25;513(7519):551-4. doi: 10.1038/nature13536.
