Abstract:

Objective To investigate the level of autophagy related genes in periodontal tissue during orthodontic tooth movement in an experimental C57B/6 mice model and explore the role of autophagy related genes in bone modeling during orthodontic tooth movement. Methods Thirty-11-week-old male C57B/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups. Each group contained 10 mice. The experimental model of orthodontic tooth movement was established in group A by applying active force-loading nickel-titanium springs. Springs were placed in group B without force loading. Group C served as blank group. All the springs were placed between the left maxillary first molar and incisor. The mice were sacrificed on day 12, and the left lateral maxillae were collected to prepare sample sections of the periodontal tissue of the left maxillary first molars. Tooth movement was measured via microcomputed tomography. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were performed, and the expression levels of bone modeling-related genes [osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL)] and autophagy related genes (including Atg5, Atg7 and Beclin-1) were detected. Results The mean distance of first molar tooth movement was 0.09 mm in group A. HE staining showed that the amount of periodontal space between the pressure side and tension side of the first molars differed in group A. TRAP staining showed the presence of TRAP-positive cells in the pressure side of the first molar, and the number of osteoclasts in the pressure side was higher than that in the tension side (P<0.05). RT-qPCR results indicated that compared with those in group B, the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of OPG in the periodontal tissue of group A decreased, whereas the mRNA expression levels of RANKL, Atg5, Atg7 and Beclin-1 increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Autophagy related genes increased in periodontal tissues under orthodontic force. Autophagy may play an important role in bone modeling during orthodontic tooth movement by regulating osteoclastogenesis.
