  		Figure 1. Oligonucleotide primers used for Section-RT-PCR (upper). Section-RT-PCR of rat maxillary periodontium in weeks 3 (W3) and 4 (W4) (lower). Gene expression of MMP-8, MMP-13, and GAPDH is identified. Negative controls (non-RT) do not produce bands visible on gels. Positive controls (total RNA of embryonic rat limbs) show the corresponding bands.

  		Figure 2. Oligonucleotide primers to prepare for RNA probes (upper). RNA polymerases and restriction enzymes used for RNA probes (middle). In situ hybridization for COL I (a-d) and COL III (e-h) during root formation and eruption of maxillary first molars (lower). (a,e) Week 2. (b,c,f,g) Week 4. (d,h) Week 6. Arrowheads in (c) and (g) indicate hybridization signals. B, alveolar bone; P, periodontal ligaments; C, cementum; D, dentin. Bars = 10 µm (a,e); 20 µm (b,d,f,h); 5 µm (c,g).

  		Figure 3. In situ hybridization for MMP 8 (a-d) and MMP 13 (e-h) during root formation and eruption of maxillary first molars. (a,e) Week 2. (b,c,f,g) Week 4. (d,h) Week 6. The insert in (f) is an image with a higher magnification of the enclosed region. Arrowheads in (c), (e) and (f) indicate hybridization signals. B, alveolar bone; P, periodontal ligaments; C, cementum; D, dentin. Bars = 10 µm (a,e); 20 µm (b,d,f,h); 5 µm (c,g).
