Highlights: • Fam83h mutation altered the expression and subcellular localization of Fam83 h, CK1α and β-catenin. • Fam83h mutation activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and inhibited the mineralization in LS8 cells. • The inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway rescued the inhibited mineralization in LS8 cells with mutant Fam83h. • Fam83h mutation could inhibit the mineralization in ameloblasts by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. FAM83H was identified as the major causative gene for autosomal dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfect (ADHCAI). The pathogenic mechanism of FAM83H in ADHCAI remains elusive. The present study aims to investigate the effect of Fam83h mutation on the mineralization of mouse ameloblast cell line LS8 and to explore the possible pathogenesis of ADHCAI. Lentivirus package was performed for the plasmids with mouse Fam83h mutant cDNA (c.1186C > T, M3) and empty vector (Control) and transfected into LS8, which were divided into M3-FLAG and Control groups. Immunoprecipitation, western-blot and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the expression and subcellular localization of Fam83 h, CK1α and β-catenin. ALP activity, ALP staining, expression of the mineralization factors were detected in two groups during mineralization induction. Expression of the mineralization factors was also detected in M3-FLAG and LS8 exposing to pyrvinium pamoate. Compared with the Control, the Fam83h mutation altered the expression and localization of Fam83 h, CK1α and β-catenin in LS8, inhibited the mineralization and down-regulated the expression of mineralization factors in M3-FLAG. Pyrvinium pamoate, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, up-regulated expression of mineralization factors in LS8 and rescued the inhibited mineralization in M3-FLAG. The results indicated that the Fam83h mutation could inhibit the mineralization in ameloblasts by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
