Expression of β-Endorphin and Caspase-9 in Orthodontically Treated Dental Pulp.

Introduction. For several years, our histology laboratory has worked in co-operation with the Winchmore Hill Dental Practice studying the activity of Acetylcholinesterase and some neuropeptides (CGRP, Sub. P, Enkephalins, Endorphins)(1) in orthodontic treated human dental pulp to clarify force's action. It seems that recent data do not yet, fully elucidate the exact effects of the force applied on teeth. For this reason we are investigating whether the traction is involved in some cases of pulpal death. In this study we focused on the expression of Caspase-9 and β-Endorphine. Materials and Methods. The expression of the 2 peptides has been identified through immunohistochemistry assay: not …

Cytocheratins Identification in Human Umbilical Cord at Term.

Introduction. Cytokeratins (Cks) are the proteins that constitute intermediate filaments. The pattern of expression of cytokeratins is frequently organ or tissue specific and depends mainly on the type of epithelium, the level of differentiation and the stage of development. With this study we tried to make light on the pattern of expression of a wide range of CKs in human umbilical cord at term. Materials and methods. We investigated the expression of CKs through immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR assay. Results. AE1/AE3 antibody reacts with the basic CKs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and with the acidic CKs 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 19. The reactivity for this antibody is localized in the amniotic…
