Annexin VI and actin were detected by immunoblot analysis in the enamel- and dentin-related portions of dental tissues. Annexin VI was found mainly in the particulate fraction whereas actin was detected in both the soluble and particulate fractions. By immunoelectron microscopy, annexin VI antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold were seen to label the mitochondria, the cytosol and the nucleus of secretory ameloblasts and odontoblasts of rat incisor. In the processes of these cells, the plasmalemmal undercoat was labeled. Anti-actin antibodies labeled the desmosome-like junctions, the cytosol, and the mitochondria of the cell bodies. Extensive labeling was seen at the periphery of the Tomes' processes and odontoblast processes. These results suggest that annexin VI may play a role in Ca2(+)-regulation in the cell bodies, especially as a calcium receptor protein in the mitochondria. Moreover, annexin VI and actin seem to be co-distributed in secretory processes. Thus, these proteins might be both involved in exocytotic and endocytotic events.
