The bone remodeling process in response to orthodontic forces requires the activity of osteoclasts to allow teeth to move in the direction of the force applied. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) is essential for this process although its cellular source in response to orthodontic forces has not been determined. Orthodontic tooth movement is considered to be an aseptic inflammatory process that is stimulated by leukocytes including T and B lymphocytes which are presumed to stimulate bone resorption. We determined whether periodontal ligament and bone lining cells were an essential source of RANKL by tamoxifen induced deletion of RANKL in which Cre recombinase was driven by a 3.2 kb reporter element of the Col1α1 gene in experimental mice (Col1α1.CreERTM+.RANKLf/f) and compared results with littermate controls (Col1α1.CreERTM−.RANKLf/f). By examination of Col1α1.CreERTM+.ROSA26 reporter mice we showed tissue specificity of tamoxifen induced Cre recombinase predominantly in the periodontal ligament and bone lining cells. Surprisingly we found that most of the orthodontic tooth movement and formation of osteoclasts was blocked in the experimental mice, which also had a reduced periodontal ligament space. Thus, we demonstrate for the first time that RANKL produced by periodontal ligament and bone lining cells provide the major driving force for tooth movement and osteoclastogenesis in response to orthodontic forces. Cells and tissues have been identified that produce a signaling molecule essential for bone remodeling in orthodontic patients. Directional mechanical force, when applied to teeth, instigates changes to remodel the bone around the tooth. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia, led by Dana Graves, genetically altered mice to remove ‘RANKL’, a protein thought to be a mediator in the breakdown of bone. The team found that the immune cells responsible for producing RANKL are primarily found in the tissue connecting tooth roots to the ridges of bone containing the tooth sockets and the protective cells that line the bones. Removing RANKL impaired the ability of the teeth to move in response to external directional force. This study provides insights into the relationship between RANKL production and orthodontic tooth movement.
