Immunohistochemistry study of E - cadherin in reparative dentinogenesis
Abstract：AIM: To investigate the immunological reactivity of E- cadherin in the reparative dentinogenesis.METHODS: The cavity was prepared on the mesial surface of the first molar of Wistar rats. After the periods of 3, 15, 30days of post - operation, animal were sacrificed and paraffin sections were prepared through histological process. SABC method was used to detect the reactivity using rat anti - E- cadherin antibody. RESULTS: The reactivity was not evident in odontoblasts of 3 days group, but was evident in dental pulp cells; the positive staining was observed in odontoblast - like cells and pulp cells after 15 days; in 30 days, the polarized odontoblast- like cells were positively stained. CONCLUSION:E- cadherin may involve in the differentiation, and polarization of dental pulp cells.
