Osteoblasts stimulate osteoclastogenesis via RANKL expression more strongly than periodontal ligament cells do in response to PGE2
Objective: Periodontal ligament cells (PDLs) produce prostaglandin E 2 (PGE2) in response to orthodontic force. PGE2 is a potent osteoclast-inducing factor that induces the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Some studies reported that PDLs express RANKL in response to mechanical...
