Learn MoreIn Cichlids, replacement teeth (RT) share a continuous band of epithelium with adjacent taste buds (TB) and both organs co-express stem cell factors in subsets of label-retaining cells. In the mouse and other mammals, the tongue inter molar eminence (IE) oral papillae of Follistatin (Fat, BMP antagonist) mutants exhibited dysmorphic invagination. By using NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNAseq) analysis, we compared differential gene expression in the mouse tongue tissue in Follistatin (Fst) mutants mice with the wild type controls. Our results demonstrated ectopic expression of dental markers in tongue IE indicating that vertebrate oral epithelium retains inherent plasticity to form tooth and taste-like cell types mediated by BMP, therefore revealed under appreciated epithelial cell populations with promising potential in bioengineering and dental therapeutics.
