Objective

This study aimed to identify a DLX3 gene mutation in a family with atypical clinical manifestations of tricho-dento-osseous syndrome (TDO) and its impact on tooth enamel thickness, microhardness, structure and formation.

Design

Whole-exome sequencing detected DLX3 mutations in the family. Micro-CT, Vickers hardness tester, energy dispersive spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy were performed on the deciduous teeth of the proband and controls. In vitro experiments preliminarily verified the effect of this mutation on ameloblast differentiation and suggested possible molecular mechanisms.

Results

We found a new DLX3 frame-shift mutation (NM_005220.3: c.604_605del: p. S202 *) in this family. Compared with control teeth, the mutant enamel showed a significant decrease in thickness, hardness and calcium content and an increase in magnesium content. The enamel structure appeared disordered. In an immortalized ameloblast-lineage cell (ALC) line, this mutation affected ameloblast differentiation and downregulated the expression levels of enamel matrix protein (EMP) genes (Amelx, Tuft1, Klk4, Ambn, Odam). A luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that this mutation significantly reduced the transactivation activity of DLX3 on Amelx/Odam/Klk4.

Conclusion

We found a new DLX3 mutation in a Chinese family with enamel dysplasia and that this mutation may affect ameloblast differentiation by inhibiting the transcriptional activity of Amelx/Odam/Klk4, thereby interfering with enamel formation. Our findings further expand the variation spectrum and enrich the evidence of molecular genetics of DLX3 mutations."xsd:string
