Caspase家族参与乳牙根吸收牙髓组织细胞凋亡的研究进展

Research progress of Caspase family involved in cell apoptosis of dental pulp during the root absorption of deciduous teeth

在乳恒牙替换过程中,乳牙牙髓组织逐渐减少,这与牙髓组织发生细胞凋亡有关。天冬氨酸特异性蛋白水解酶(cysteine-containing aspartate-specific protease,Caspase)在细胞凋亡中发挥重要作用。该文就乳牙生理性根吸收过程中牙髓组织的细胞凋亡情况及Caspase家族在其中发挥的作用作一综述。

During the process of permanent teeth replacing primary teeth,the pulp tissue of deciduous teeth gradually decreases,which relates to the apoptosis of dental pulp tissue.Cysteine-containing aspartate-specific protease(Caspase)plays an important role in cell apoptosis.This article summarizes the apoptosis of dental pulp tissue and the role played by Caspase family in the process of physiological root resorption of deciduous teeth.
