Distribution of Tenascin-C and -X in Rat TMJ Development

In the neonatal and postnatal development of rat TMJ, tenascin-C and -X were detected in the muscle, bone matrix, connective tissue around the bone, and blood vessel of rats at E18 (18-days old embryo), 0-, and 5-days postnatal. The reaction of tenascin-X was also found in the connective tissue arou...

Zusammenfassung:In the neonatal and postnatal development of rat TMJ, tenascin-C and -X were detected in the muscle, bone matrix, connective tissue around the bone, and blood vessel of rats at E18 (18-days old embryo), 0-, and 5-days postnatal. The reaction of tenascin-X was also found in the connective tissue around the mandibular condyle. The mRNA of tenascin-C (600 bp) and -X (588 bp) was also detected in the developmental muscle with the level of tenascin-C mRNA moderately decreased during development. Therefore, tenascin-C and -X may have different effects on the connective tissue duimg development of TMJ.
