Here, we characterize the defects associated with the failure in root development and the loss of the tooth-bone interface, and we investigate the underlying causes. We show that, while homozygous c-Fos mice have no multinucleated osteoclasts, heterozygous mice have a reduction in the number of osteoclasts with a reduction in the tooth-bone interface during development and subtle skeletal defects postnatally. In the homozygous mutants bone is found to penetrate the tooth, particularly at the apical end, physically disrupting the root forming HERS (Hertwig\u2019s epithelial root sheath) cells. The cells of the HERS continue to proliferate but cannot extend downward due to the presence of bone, leading to a loss of root formation. Tooth germ culture showed that the developing tooth invaded the static bone in mutant tissue, rather than the bone encroaching on the tooth. Although c-Fos has been shown to be expressed in developing teeth, the defect in maintenance of the tooth-bone interface appears to be driven solely by the lack of osteoclasts, as this defect can be rescued in the presence of donor osteoclasts. The rescue suggests that signals from the tooth recruit osteoclasts to clear the bone from around the tooth, allowing the tooth to grow, form roots, and later erupt.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034515608828","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,6]],"date-time":"2015-10-06T22:38:17Z","timestamp":1444171097000},"page":"1724-1731","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Root and Eruption Defects in\n                    <i>c-Fos<\/i>\n                    Mice Are Driven by Loss of Osteoclasts"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Alfaqeeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology, Department of Orthodontics, King\u2019s College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Oralova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics CAS, v.v.i., Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Experimental Biology, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Foxworthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology, Department of Orthodontics, King\u2019s College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Matalova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics CAS, v.v.i., Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Physiology, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.E.","family":"Grigoriadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology, Department of Orthodontics, King\u2019s College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.S.","family":"Tucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology, Department of Orthodontics, King\u2019s College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0022034515608828","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.archoralbio.2006.10.018"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr2-0022034515608828","first-page":"303","volume":"17","author":"Albers DD","year":"1986","journal-title":"Quintessence Int"},{"key":"bibr3-0022034515608828","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034513510321"},{"key":"bibr4-0022034515608828","first-page":"e50824","volume":"81","author":"Alfaqeeh SA","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Vis Exp"},{"key":"bibr5-0022034515608828","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S8756-3282(00)00373-2"},{"key":"bibr6-0022034515608828","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MAJ.0b013e31828983da"},{"key":"bibr7-0022034515608828","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bone.2006.09.023"},{"key":"bibr8-0022034515608828","unstructured":"Byers MR, Mecifi KB, Iadarola MJ. 1995.
