Orthodontic force regulates metalloproteinase-3 promoter in osteoblasts and transgenic mouse models
4 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background/purpose Previously we demonstrated up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-3 ( MMP-3 ) in human osteoblasts under compression and in bony specimens of experimental orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Here, we studied the temporal characteristics of compression stimulation in human and mouse osteoblast cell lines , and generated a transgenic mouse model for assessing the MMP-3 expression during OTM....
