Figure 1. DPPI is Expressed in Enamel Organ.

Figure 1

Mouse molars were harvested at defined time-points and subjected to real-time PCR analysis using DPPI specific primers. Expression was quantified at day 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, where day 3 represents early secretory stage and day 11 represents maturation stage enamel organ. Data represents measurements of six individual mice per time point with each mouse repeated in triplicate (n=6). Results are presented as fold increase in expression over day 3 and normalized to EF1α1 mRNA expression. DPPI expression increases dramatically with an 11.38 ± 1.78-fold increase at maturation stage over secretory stage (* p < 0.05; ** p<0.001). Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
