AbstractThe purpose of this study was to use amelogenin as a marker to examine the feasibility of isolating ameloblasts from enamel organ cell populations by fluorescence activated cell sorting. After treating dissected rat enamel organs with proteolytic enzymes to loosen cell attachments and labial connective tissues, dissociated cell suspensions were fixed, then immunostained with rabbit anti-rM179 recombinant amelogenin antibody and FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit Ig G antibody. Flow cytometry indicated that about 70% of the total cell sample and virtually all the larger cells therein were amelogenin-positive. Fluorescence activated cell sorting yielded a sample of amelogenin-positive cells at 97% purity. Immunofluorescence microscopy indicated that these isolated amelogenin-positive cells varied widely in size and morphology. This was attributed to loss of intercellular support for ameloblasts once they were dissociated from each other, and to some fragmentation caused when the cells were initially physically removed from the teeth. The results demonstrate that viable ameloblast cell fractions, especially representing cells at the secretory stage, can be purified from enzymic digests of rat enamel organ by sorting on the basis of cell size alone. From these fractions, subpopulations of ameloblasts may be identified when differentiation specific cell surface markers become available.
