Objective: To identify the expression of antagonist beta-TrCP protein in Sonic hedgehog signal transduction pathway and Wnt signal transduction pathway in hair follicle tissues.

Methods: The heads of day 18 embryo, and one day and six-days-old postnatal mice were acquired and treated with 40 g/L paraformaldehyde fixation for 48 h and paraffin embedding. The expression of beta-TrCP proteins was examined using LsAB (labelled streptavidin-biotin) method.

Objective: To construct recombinant adenovirus carrying the mouse dentin caveolin-1 gene using the recombinant adenoviral vector system AdEasy.

Methods: The cDNA fragment of caveolin-1 was derived from pTRE2-caveolin-1 by restriction enzyme digestion and subcloned into shuttle plasmid pAdtrack-CMV. The resulting plasmid pAdtrack-CMV-caveolin-1, after linearized by digesting with restriction endonuclease Pme I, was transformed into E.

Objective: The Sonic hedgehog signalling peptide has been demonstrated to play important roles in the growth and patterning of the tooth development. This study aims on whether the antagonist beta-transduction repeat containing protein of Sonic hedgehog signal transduction expressed in tooth germs ameloblast and odontoblast or not.

Methods: The mouse embryo heads of different developmental stages of E10.
