ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To determine the effect of continuously compressive pressure (CCP) on the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) and to investigate the role of RANKL in alveolar bone rebuilding during orthodontic tooth movement.@*METHODS@#The primary HPDLCs were isolated from human periodontal ligament by explanting enzymatic digestion with trypsin and collagenase to establish a pressure model. Top-bottom axial pressures (1, 2, and 3 g/cm(2)) were laid on HPDLCs for 0.5, 1.5, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h, respectively. The RANKL expression was identified by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at the mRNA level.@*RESULTS@#The expression of RANKL mRNA significantly increased in a time-dependent manner (P<0.01), so did the value of pressure, especially in the 2 g/cm(2) group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#CCP can up-regulate the expression of RANKL mRNA in human periodontal ligament cells.
