Background And Objective: Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) contains two types-bone- and liver-type-which are produced from the same gene due to differences in splicing. These two differ in their promoter, but the amino acid sequences of the mature proteins are identical. In this study, we examined the relationship between the two types of TNSALP expression and osteoblast differentiation.
Design: Gene expression of the two types of TNSALP was observed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. MC3T3-NM4 was sub-cloned from an established mouse osteoblastic cell line in which osteoblast characters do not appear without dexamethasone. The C2C12 mouse myoblastic cell line, which can be induced to osteoblasts with bone morphogenic protein 2, and organ-cultured tooth germs were also used in this work.
Results: The gene expression of liver-type TNSALP was observed in only MC3T3-NM4 activated by dexamethasone. For C2C12, the gene expression of bone-type TNSALP was observed even in non-induced conditions where myotubes were formed, whereas the liver-type TNSALP mRNA was only expressed when C2C12 differentiated into osteoblasts by bone morphogenic protein 2. Furthermore, in the organ-cultured tooth germs, the liver-type TNSALP mRNA was expressed according to differentiation of tooth germs.
Conclusion: These results suggest that the liver-type TNSALP mRNA is induced according to differentiation of bone and tooth.

Background: Hypophosphatasia is a rare heritable metabolic disorder characterized by defective bone and tooth mineralization accompanied by a deficiency of tissue-non-specific (liver/bone/kidney) isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase activity, caused by a number of loss-of-function mutations in the alkaline phosphatase liver type gene. We seek to explore the clinical manifestations and identify the mutations associated with the disease in a Chinese odonto- hypophosphatasia family.

Retinoic acid is a potent inducer of tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) expression in various osteoblastic and fibroblastic cells, and may be involved in morphogenesis, cellular growth and differentiation. This study investigates the effects of retinoic acid on alkaline phosphatase activity and TNSALP gene expression in human dental pulp cells. Cultured cells were treated with various concentrations of retinoic acid (0, 10(-7), 10(- 6), 10 (-5) M) in 0.

Tissue-nonspecific-type alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) is found in the bone, liver, kidney, and other tissues, and its gene consists of 12 exons with the coding sequence beginning in the second exon. Recently, a noncoding first exon was identified in the liver message (liver type) which differed from that of the previously known osteoblast-derived cDNA sequence (bone type). Although these two mRNAs produce an identical protein, they have different promoter regions.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells is classified as a tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) by its enzymatic and immunological properties. Since retinoic acid (RA) has been shown as a potent inducer of TNSALP expression in various osteoblastic and fibroblastic cells, we investigated the effects of RA on the level of ALP activity and expression of TNSALP mRNAs in HPDL cells. Cultured cells were treated with desired RA concentrations (0, 10(-7), 10(-6), 10(-5) M) in medium containing 1% bovine serum albumin without serum.
