Expression of the odontogenic maturation markers and the morphology of the dcKO; DsppTg molar root. (A) The immunohistochemistry with antibody against OSX in the 1st molar root of P16 WT mouse. (B) The immunohistochemistry with antibody against OSX in the 1st molar root of P16 dcKO mouse. (C) The immunohistochemistry staining of DSP in the 1st molar root of P16 WT mouse. (D) The immunohistochemistry staining of DSP in the 1st molar root of P16 dcKO mouse. (E) The in situ hybridization with Dspp anti-sense RNA probe in the 1st molar root of P16 WT mouse. (F) The in situ hybridization with Dspp anti-sense RNA probe in the 1st molar root of P16 dcKO mouse. (G) The micro-CT images of the molar root dentin in the P18 WT, dcKO, and dcKO; DsppTg mice. (H) The statistical analysis of the root dentin length, thickness and volume in the P18 WT, dcKO, and dcKO; DsppTg mice. (The dashed red lines indicated the HERS; the yellow arrows delineated the end of HERS; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ∗∗p < 0.01; p < 0.05).
