Enamel is formed by the repetitive secretion of a tooth-specific extracellular matrix and its decomposition. Calcification of the enamel matrix via hydroxyapatite (HAP) maturation requires pH cycling to be tightly regulated through the neutralization of protons released during HAP synthesis. We found that Gpr115, which responds to changes in extracellular pH, plays an important role in enamel formation. Gpr115-deficient mice show partial enamel hypomineralization, suggesting that other pH-responsive molecules may be involved. In this study, we focused on the role of Gpr111/Adgrf2, a duplicate gene of Gpr115, in tooth development. Gpr111 was highly expressed in mature ameloblasts. Gpr111-KO mice showed enamel hypomineralization. Dysplasia of enamel rods and high carbon content seen in Gpr111-deficient mice suggested the presence of residual enamel matrices in enamel. Depletion of Gpr111 in dental epithelial cells induced the expression of ameloblast-specific protease, kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (Klk4), suggesting that Gpr111 may act as a suppressor of Klk4 expression. Moreover, reduction of extracellular pH to 6.8 suppressed the expression of Gpr111, while the converse increased Klk4 expression. Such induction of Klk4 was synergistically enhanced by Gpr111 knockdown, suggesting that proper enamel mineralization may be linked to the modulation of Klk4 expression by Gpr111. Furthermore, our in vitro suppression of Gpr111 and Gpr115 expression indicated that their suppressive effect on calcification was additive. These results suggest that both Gpr111 and Gpr115 respond to extracellular pH, contribute to the expression of proteolytic enzymes, and regulate the pH cycle, thereby playing important roles in enamel formation.
