Abstract
Histone acetylation is one of the most widely studied histone modification, regulating a variety of biological activities like organ development and tumorigenesis. However, the role of histone acetylation in tooth development is poorly understood. Using the mouse molar as a model, we mapped the distribution patterns of histone H3 and H4, as well as their corresponding acetylation sites during tooth formation in order to unveil the connection between histone acetylation modification and tooth development. Moreover, key histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases were detected in both epithelial and mesenchymal cells during tooth development by scRNA-seq and immunohistochemistry. These results suggest that histone acetylation modification functions as an important mechanism in tooth development at different stages.
期刊介绍：
PeerJ is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in the biological and medical sciences. At PeerJ, authors take out a lifetime publication plan (for as little as $99) which allows them to publish articles in the journal for free, forever. PeerJ has 5 Nobel Prize Winners on the Board; they have won several industry and media awards; and they are widely recognized as being one of the most interesting recent developments in academic publishing.
