Autoradiographic investigation of proliferative responses in rat incisor pulp after vincristine administration. 1980

T Stene, and H S Koppang

-0.7 mg/kg VCR was given to nine rats in three experimental groups. Twenty-three hours after VCR injection the animals were injected with 3H-thymidine. The animals were sacrificed 24, 48 and 72 h after the VCR injection, and by comparison with nine control animals similarly injected with sodium chloride solution and nucleotide, it was shown that VCR causes a delayed migration of pulp cells from the proliferative pool and a small but distinct inhibition of the incisal growth of the incisors. The growth inhibition corresponded to the normal growth over a 24-h period in non-VCR-injected animals.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007180	Incisor	Any of the eight frontal teeth (four maxillary and four mandibular) having a sharp incisal edge for cutting food and a single root, which occurs in man both as a deciduous and a permanent tooth. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p820)	Incisors
D009804	Odontoblasts	The mesenchymal cells which line the DENTAL PULP CAVITY and produce DENTIN. They have a columnar morphology in the coronal pulp but are cuboidal in the root pulp, or when adjacent to tertiary dentin.	Odontoblast
D009805	Odontogenesis	The process of TOOTH formation. It is divided into several stages including: the dental lamina stage, the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage. Odontogenesis includes the production of tooth enamel (AMELOGENESIS), dentin (DENTINOGENESIS), and dental cementum (CEMENTOGENESIS).	Odontogeneses
D002455	Cell Division	The fission of a CELL. It includes CYTOKINESIS, when the CYTOPLASM of a cell is divided, and CELL NUCLEUS DIVISION.	M Phase,Cell Division Phase,Cell Divisions,Division Phase, Cell,Division, Cell,Divisions, Cell,M Phases,Phase, Cell Division,Phase, M,Phases, M
D003782	Dental Pulp	A richly vascularized and innervated connective tissue of mesodermal origin, contained in the central cavity of a tooth and delimited by the dentin, and having formative, nutritive, sensory, and protective functions.

D005260	Female		Females
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
